A pronoun is a series of phonetic noises that we arbitrarily determined denotes gender, and over time, as the definition of gender expanded, the language we use broadened with it. Society can change the definition of words. Language can evolve. The pronoun “she” no longer means “this person has female genitals”. It…

Let’s assume your name is “Mike” and every single day I called you “Mark”. It’s rude, isn’t it? Maybe demeaning? Sure, I have the right to call you by the wrong name, but would you like it? Would it endear you to me? What if I was your boss or professor and you told me to stop and I retaliated by giving you a lower…

Even if Huang was 120% oblivious to racism, she didn’t work alone. Dozens of people needed to come together to make the clothes, set the stage, the lighting, put together a soundtrack, etc. and NOT ONE of those people came forward and said “hey, this is so racist it can be seen from space”. Seriously? No one spoke up…

Don’t be stupid. Fertilized eggs are too young to start a career search.

I keep a rotation of foods. For example I will make chicken thighs one day and maybe reheat some frozen veggies because I’m too lazy to make a proper side. Then the next day I will make a nice veggie dish and then reheat a leftover chicken thigh. Then the day after that, I can reheat my nice veggie dish while cooking…

LIFE HACK: Assemble raw, cut vegetable into a bowl. Add dressing.

I truly appreciate the Yeet V. Kobe breakdown. It feels nice to know things.

I’m 29 and I still can’t do that. Maybe I’ll grow another 5 inches one day (currently 5' 1").

Fuck guillotines, I want to know when it’s ok to cannibalize the rich. No sense in letting that sweet meat go to waste.

I would argue that these are not only white books, but that they are the whitest of books. Just because you put a picture of a black person on the cover of The Secret Garden doesn’t magically not make the story about British aristocrats feeling sad about...stuff (cholera, probably).

But the virus is mainly in China, not Japan. I know racism is illogical at it’s core, but shit, that’s a new level of stupid.

Eh, masturbation doesn’t really work for me. Like, I get bored almost immediately. Maybe I’m just bad at it, but I also have a sex drive so low it’s teetering on asexuality. And since I’ve been single and sexless for over 10 years, it’s kind of nice that I don’t need to put effort into getting myself off.

No, I think my response to the situation would be similar but for an entirely different reason. The man in the video doesn’t give a fuck, so he sits there and eats. I would be too afraid to move, so I’d sit there and eat.

I get it. I know by now that my fight-or-flight response is more of a “freeze in place and hope your enemy can’t sense movement” response (my enemies are mostly cars and deer). So I would just sit there too. And hey, there’s a kabob in front of me! I guess I’ll eat it!

I gave your comment a star for effort, but I respectfully disagree with you.

We’re not asking you to stab your bosses, grandfathers, and girlfriends with a broadsword when they display signs of prejudice.

Fat chick here. I am well aware that being obese may lead to a variety of ailments. I’m not ignorant of that fact, just like my mom is aware of how bad smoking is every time she lights up. Addictions are hard to break, especially food addictions, because while I can live without cigarettes (never used them), I will…

GAHHH! Even my stupid, gross imagination didn’t think of that scenario! Those people are always so proud of themselves for that “skill” too!

“Dear Salty, what hole does the food go in? Will the server think I’m bad if I choose the wrong one?”

I’ve cried over a plate. Or rather a sugar bowl. I’m 29 and the plates, bowls, teacups, and saucers I currently use were the ones my family used when I was growing up. They are thick porcelain, real sturdy, white with blue rococo flourishes, and my parents got them as a wedding gift ~32 years ago. When I moved out of…
