‪”I feel like that is the untold story of this data leak—how many people just aren’t getting a sexual connection they want. And rather than talk about how people could solve this problem, everyone is just moralizing.”

Working full-time and going to school is terrible. You (and by you, I mean me) will fall behind, drop classes, and graduate “behind schedule.”

This is why its so important to engage with people and not immediately dismiss someone as soon as they say something you don’t like. A lot of commenters here love to say how “its not their job” to educate people, as if they were born with innate knowledge about everything, and weren’t taught anything by others.…

I’m an advocate for the idea of “planting the seed”, meaning that gently mentioning your differing point of view or the problem inherent in their comment with someone willing to listen and consider what you said will place a small or rudimentary thought in their mind that over time can grow and blossom into a…

It really depends on how close you are to your friends. If they are casual friends, I would just let it slide. Pick your battles and this wouldn’t even be a pillow fight. But if you knew them really well, almost on a family level, then by all means, call them out. Even if it’s as simple as a, “Seriously?”

I like to imagine that Wiz wants us to know that despises sparkling water so vehemently that he isn’t just like fuck that shit, he’s defiant about it, like FUCK THAT SHIT! *black power fist*. You know?

So that’s where the folks at FatPeopleHate moved to. Huh.

You leave your partner at the hotel with the dog and get takeout. You get takeout and eat in the car. These are very simple solutions.

Riding across Canada is great. Everyone from the Maritimes does it.

rome2rio.com is my absolute favorite for planning how to get from point A to point B in almost any country. It looks at all modes of transit - plane, train, bus, rental car, etc. and automatically pulls times, schedules, and prices. I’ve used it successfully in India and Central America and it was invaluable

VRBO.com is great. I don’t think I’ll ever stay in hotels again (if I’m going to a decent sized city or tourist destination). For example, I’m planning a short trip to Hawaii, and there are dozens of cute condos and cottages you can rent for <$100 a day.

This is going to be way more extensive than the question asked...

Not all of that percentage choose it because it’s cooler. Most choose it because it’s tradition, and if men don’t choose their wives’ cooler names because they find it emasculating, that’s a problem too, but I simply reserve the right to make the personal choice to choose the name I want, tradition and statistics and…

Yeah, you can decide that you don’t care where your name came from — it’s yours now, even if you got it because kids get the same name as their dad under patriarchal traditions.

I’m aware of how our patriarchal society influences women, thankyouverymuch, but I no longer feel the pressure to take a man’s name just because it is tradition. I’m aware of the illusion of choice for a lot of women, on a lot of matters, but I am very clear in my mind about what is and isn’t influencing me, on this…

Here’s the thing you can have your own reasons for doing so (your reason may even be that you don't give a shit if it's a sexist tradition) but you CANNOT deny doing so is rooted in sexist tradition. Hell, so is marriage as an institution. I should add I am a married woman who took my husbands name for my own reasons…

Yep. There’s a group of women at my gym who do a quasi group class in a couple of the racks when I’m there, and they like to (loudly) remind each other not to lift more than five pounds per arm or squat more than an empty bar, because they’ll get bulky, and no guy likes that, amirite, laydeez?

And then they ask *how* I…

I am so happy about this article, I’m almost crying at work. I’ve been lifting with a trainer for almost two years and when people find out that I do, the first thing every woman says is “well doesn’t that bulk you up?”

The only Thai food you should be eating is at Lotus of Siam. In fact, going to Lotus is worth going to Las Vegas for. Off strip on Sahara, you can take the bus but it’s about a $10 cab ride from the Strip, so treat yourself. Just GO and EAT and be amazed that this non-descript strip mall contains a lovely, white…

The other thing worth mentioning (although I realize it isn’t nightlife) is the incredible concentration of spas in Vegas. They aren’t cheap but are comparable to what you’ll pay in most major cities, and for spas like the one at the Aria which allow full use of their facilities throughout the entire day of your…
