This time I’m make a mental effort to forget the perpetrator’s name and remember the victim’s.

I’m guessing that none of the people in the video are vegan. Once you go vegan, your taste buds change. You go vegan not because you hate meat, but rather because of the health benefits and not wanting to support a cruel industry. There’s certainly some hits and misses when it comes to vegan options. Oh, and flax eggs…

BTW, I do miss Gawker still.

MODCLOTH IS A WALMART BRAND?????

Ferguson specifically moved their city official elections to weird time/day/places so that they could freeze out the black vote. It isn’t really an excuse for poor turnout (you need to show the fuck up and vote regardless), but it is why these positions tend to remain white and unaffected by change.

The final episode of Mad Men taught us that.

Same, but I got a platform and a slow news day so here we are.

Don’t forget the San Diego pedal cabs. $40 to go two blocks is entirely reasonable.

This is what’s wrong with society nowadays. Sure Uber/Lyft/Taxis have their share of problems but they do provide a pretty useful and practical service. Some better than others, but at least we have a choice

• Be in not-NYC

Despite Jalopnik’s desire to smear and end all ride sharing companies, I know my friends and I (and legions of people) here in San Diego will continue to gleefully use Uber and Lyft because they are 10x better than the alternative. So yeah, keep trying Jalopnik.. it isn’t going to work.

Welp, I’ll be driving home from the bars drunk I guess. Since there are no all-electric environmentally-sensitive unionized 51% woman organically grown non-profit no animal testing car ride companies to choose from, and taxis in my city are next to impossible to get at 2 am, I must drive after my eight martini happy…

My SIL shills Rodan & Fields endlessly on fb. She has a very good real job, but is constantly touting R&F as her retirement salvation and anyone who doesn’t sign up to join her must be a complete moron. (I’m a complete moron.) I would unfollow except she occasionally posts pics of my nieces and nephews who are great…

Yea, either her skin looked good before, or she just wasn’t taking care of it. There’s no magic in their stuff.

An old friend from HS was a pharmacist married to a doctor when she had a kid and decided to be a full time mom. She started R&F a few months ago. “I made my startup money back in less than 2 months!” she gushed. She treats it like a business (cards and literature and professional bits and bobs), but it’s a hobby. I…

I just...don’t get it. If I wanted to buy makeup, I would go to a makeup counter with brands I already like. If I wanted to give my friends money, I would give them money. Why blend the two together into a horrible concoction where I end up with crappy makeup and they end up with not much commission?

In fairness, it’s a non-work lawyer FB group. But still. It’s a skincare line, just like any other you’d see in Sephora or at your dermatologist, but they only sell through the pyramid scheme method. They have some stupid story about how they just didn’t like selling in stores or something. It’s ok stuff, but it’s…

The prevalance of these companies (Avon, Mary Kay, Arbonne, plus the new generation of cool multi-level-marketing organizations like LulaRoe) honestly shocks me. For how many years now have we known that they’re all pyramid schemes?

My mother-in-law was selling Melaleuca* when I first got married. Yeah! Tough to say no! I ended up with a bunch of skincare products I didn’t want, shitty-tasting toothpaste, and crappy household cleaners that NEVER WORK.

I hateeee (with exactly that many Es) Rodan + Fields. I have a “friend” pushing it on Instagram. Every day is another clearly doctored before/after shot or some “inspirational” drivel to get me to join her team.
