I am a crazy hardcore dog person, but I still have never understood what people see in chihuahas. They’re not especially friendly, they’re too small to really cuddle or play with, they’re not that cute, and they are kind of obnoxious. Yet they’re so, so popular.

Wow...That’s great, KOTOR II had such potential, and the bizarre, obviously rushed ending was heartbreaking at the time. Just ordered a budget Windows 8.1 tablet, wonder if it will run on that...

Tomorrow, go to that place, by yourself if necessary.

“Over on a shady spot of grass, two 20-something women from the photo and social team are perfecting an Instagram shot for a gut cleanse giveaway.”

According to the link, the original report actually restricted its focus to women:

Maybe, but let’s be honest here; a lot of this grew naturally out of granola culture that was perfectly represented out there before any Bay Area migration. This sort of thing is just a particularly dangerous form of the homeopathy, “toxin”-preoccupied, gluten-avoiding, pseudoscience-obsessed passive-aggressive…

Exactly; why resurrect a cheesy Kirby-style hero that Marvel depreciated in the 70’s and 80’s precisely because he was so cheesy? They stopped giving him much exposure after the 60’s because (presumably) the idea and execution was so ludicrously cheesy that it wouldn’t have been taken seriously. There are so many…

“the majority of people who have not vaccinated their kids are not anti-vaxxers refusing to out of ideology, but simply don’t have adequate access to health care”

Sometimes you have to reach out to a community, assuage their fears, work with them to come to a better understanding of the value of vaccines, and understand their perspective and their fears in a compassionate and productive way.

It sounds like you don’t have anxiety so much as you are reacting quite rationally to a very difficult situation. You have to do something because long-term stress takes such a toll on your health. Counseling might be good, particularly with someone who specializes in stress, because that’s what this is, not anxiety…

“Mr.R and I got married 2 years ago when I was 49. First for me, second for him. We had been, well something more and less than “fb”s for about 5 years then fell in love. 5 years later we got married at my grandparent’s assisted living facility. Smack dab in between her 92nd birthday and his 94th.”

The employees they had to play on the giant piano were amazingly talented; one advantage of being in NYC is you have a huge pool of unemployed and underemployed professional dancers to draw on.

Huh? I just looked at every single comment on this story and I don’t see a single troll. Who are you talking about?

Nice writeup; morally Wells towered over the more prominent white suffragettes at the time, some of who were virulent racists, others who were just willing to use racism to promote their own movement. In defense of Douglass I’d like to note that despite having to deal with his abolitionist and civil rights crusade, he…

Really about the airlines? The people at the gates are usually very sympathetic to me and frequently try to get me an exit row even without me asking.

As a guy who is closer to 7 feet than 6, I always found that overall taller women were indifferent to me but shorter women were far more likely to find my height very attractive, or at least far more likely to actually exhibit interest in me.

You are cutting them way too much slack. It was many suffragette leaders — particularly people like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard and Rebecca Felton — and not just occasional rank-and-file members, who promoted some truly vile racist rhetoric, not as an aside but as a specific tactic. In a way, they did…

Is he that obnoxious? I’ve caught a couple of his shows and while he’s definitely loud and flamboyant, he always acts like he’s happy to be there and always talking up the people he is covering.

“Awareness” is easy and lets you throw big events where you can get your picture taken with A-list celebrities and feel important.
