Despite all the jokes about her, I'm a pretty dedicated fan (although a good part of her music doesn't appeal to me; she deserves better tunes that suit that power in her voice) because she can fucking sing. The few recorded live performances (Kimmel, this, etc) I've seen, she always nails the notes; her voice is…

The thing is, if you properly train your voice then it should be easy. Part of the reason why people like Mariah and Christina can't sing as well as they used to is because they were working to hard to hit notes that should have been easy if they were properly trained.

I didn’t realize people felt such disdain towards Jimmy Fallon. I love him and find him so friggin charming. Always so happy and loveable like a golden retriever. No?

Oh don't even talk to me about clopens. Fucking clopens.

I agree with you that it's awful, but I think there are a lot of other contenders for "most inexplicable and obviously awful corporate idea." Like when Walmart had a food drive to feed their own employees, for example.

I know - choosing not to tip on "principle" is basically the same as me feeling like I'm making a difference by not donating money to anything. I mean, at least I'm not donating to the bad organizations right?! I'm so principled.

Yes, and part of the social contract as currently constructed is that you are expected to tip, because by not doing so, the only person you are punishing is your server.

As though Mark Zuckerberg is obliged to tip you more than I am even if we receive the same service:...

It's par for the course. I only do so when I recover from my fainting couch, as the staggering amount of $15/hour caused me to pass out. What would I do with a multitude of riches?

Also, can we talk about the hypocrisy in this article? Bartlett wants owners to "improve the livelihood of those in the service industry." Well, by not tipping, Bartlett is supporting the owner's businesses (by eating the food) while simultaneously screwing over the workers (by not leaving a tip). Also. To hold China…

Or we could leave strangers alone. I just don't feel it's my place to tell anyone I don't know to consider altering their facial expression. You also don't know their situation. For me, I glare because I'm squinting to see, no one needs to tell me what's up.

I get super frustrated when nipples are removed from garments because then I start to question if the bra is lined or not. What does the underwear look like? Is this a sheer overlay on top of something else? If you're that nervous, put florescent green pasties on the model's breasts, then I can see what's going on…

It wasn't even about the pubic hair and nipples. It was about the expressions on the models faces, the poses, and the fact that their CEO was a massive creeper.

But the pubic hair and nipples weren't what made those photos so fucking creepy. It was the clearly gross male gaze that they were shot with (Looking at you, Uncle Terry!).

All I picture is:

It's pretty funny, considering most of the people criticizing the movie/book as abusive are actual practitioners of BDSM themselves, so maybe it is you who is not educated, Dakota?
