Good point, everyone’s dietary needs are different, so always keep your own needs in mind first when determining what is and isn’t “healthy.”

“You have beautiful eyes but they are the saddest and most tragic ones I’ve ever seen”

You know what would make me forgive GQ for this? If they shot an identical version with Taylor Kitsch straddling Colin Ferrell.

Interesting that this logic didn’t extend to when George Tiller was killed at church.

Anna Merlan: “I woke up this morning in a nightgown and have since put on [yoga] pants. THE NYT IS ON TO SOMETHING.”

Thanks, DM me and I’ll give you my address so you can forward the extra $1,000 for each way every time I fly.

I feel the same way on airplanes but I think the annoyed stares are mostly due to my tentacles.

Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This is the largest auto that I could afford. Should I, therefore, be made the subject of fun?

This actually really pisses me off. We lobbied for the $20, to replace a bad dude who didn’t favor paper currency and would likely have hated being on it. Easy decision, right? Nope. Instead they give us the $10 - a less popular currency - and we have to fucking share it with the dude already on it. Gee. Thanks.

Yeah! Like, people don’t run away form me in horror if I’m not wearing makeup!
For me, now in my early 30s, I know I definitely feel more comfortable without makeup than I did at 22 (I’d wear makeup while camping then), although I’m not «brave» enough to go to work without anything on my face. I find I’m not really…

I’m not sure why people are acting like this writer is acting so «superior» or whatever. It seems nice to me that someone, through her experiences, has realised that being all about products and what you look like all the time is not necessarily that important. I like that she wears her (comfier) clothes longer and…

I taught ESL for 2 years at a college in China. I made the equivalent of 1,100 USD a month (though sometimes I would double that with private tutoring gigs), but had a free (crummy) apartment on campus and basically no expenses. I was not just out of college, either— I was over 30 and between jobs in the US and…

More Rachel Dolezal, yeesh. Look, I apologize if someone else has made this same point but could someone explain to me how she’s any different from Caitlyn Jenner?

I have come to love that my husband is into sports. It’s a guilt-free way to declare alone time for myself! He goes to watch a game or play on his team, I get a few hours at home alone.

It’s actually much cheaper to travel in many other countries for extended periods then to live in the United States, especially if you volunteer or work as you travel. The author says in her original response to your comment that she worked 2 jobs and stayed with her parents. You don’t “need rich parents” to travel. I…

My husband went out-of-town this weekend and is currently on a 3-day work trip. It’s restoring my sanity.

Right? I admittedly don’t watch the show but, from all the clips I’ve seen, it feels like the appeal is: “I do so enjoy water cooler conversations with my uninformed coworkers. If only someone could recreate that as a TV show.”

Does it matter?

As part of a heterosexual couple who adopted out of foster care, I have serious disdain for anyone who advises a couple to “Just adopt.” That’s like telling someone who is having trouble finding a house, “Just go to the moon, start a moon-city, and live there. What? Are you too good for the moon? You need to take the…

Mark, if you, like me, owned a dogeared copy of Bear Attacks, you’d know the park ranger maxim “a fed bear is a dead bear.” That’s because bears, when they begin to associate humans with food, often escalate to attacking humans when they realize that they’re made of meat.
