Ahhh, okay. I'm sorry. I misunderstood what you meant. This thread has my hackles raised. It wasn't that you used the word "one"—it's what you clarified in your second paragraph.

You can say a lot of things about Kim K, but she's not a sex worker, and it's sort of gross to imply that she is one or should expect to be treated like one

Hmm. I see what you're saying, but I think it's untrue that they live longer in captivity. From what I've read, captivity does shorten their average lifespan.

Also, she was sexually assaulted at this event. From the Daily Mail article:

:(

Haha. Yes. "I have a pet dolphin. He lives in my tiny apartment bathtub and I have no soul." But for real, I used to make my parents rent Free Willy for me every weekend when I was growing up, and that was almost like having a pet orca...? Except the opposite.

THANK YOU, PYRAX. That sentence is so disturbing.

Yeah, it's clearly wrong. I managed to delude myself into thinking it was okay, though, after reading some of SeaWorld's propaganda a few years ago, even though I had reservations going into it. I wish it didn't take Blackfish to set me straight, but it did.

I'm not making up comments. You said:

(Real talk though: If you have ever pet a dolphin, doesn't the way their skin sheds off their body so they can swim really fast feel so crazy? It's like nothing I have ever felt.)

Why can't we be both?! #TeamDelephan

Ugggghhhhh because wealthy people can never be victimized. I totally fucking forgot.

What do you think of this Yo Is This Racist question? The U.K.-based caller asked about the apparently normalized (according to her) practice wearing blackface to costume parties. I'm curious—do you think that's fairly common? Is it like how apparently a bunch of idiot frats and sororities in the U.S. think it's okay…

Along the same lines, I think there's a lot of classist vitriol directed to her now that she's in a relationship with Kanye. Interestingly, he's more nouveau riche than she is, but because he acquired his fame/money through artistry and she (and her family) through, like, reality shows and sex tapes, she's in a lower…

I am so fucking sick of people ignoring the fact that sex workers* are human. You think sex work is immoral or smutty? Fine. That's your opinion. But it is not fine for your disapproval to transmute to a callous disregard for the actual human beings involved, especially to a point where you call a woman "stupid" for…

It's like... a fancy bathrobe over PJ pants. And a travel makeup tote. It's like the product of a Project Runway challenge to create a red carpet outfit from items left behind in hotel rooms.

Omgggg, I don't want to turn this "I don't play Candy Crush thread" into an "I DO play Candy Crush thread," but please tell me what level it was. I have to know!

Oooh, I'm one of those adults mesmerized on the bus. I like playing it when I listen to podcasts, actually. I'm a fidgety person and it gives me something to do while my mind is focused elsewhere. I absolutely hate its Playschool-like design, though. I generally prefer to play Dots, which is a really minimalist,…

Maybe you're right. I just have a hard time having a modicum of sympathy for someone who wrote the song "You're So Gay." (You should look up those lyrics.) I admire that you can give her the benefit of the doubt though! You are a bigger person than I.

That's obviously what Katy Perry is doing and has been doing since "I Kissed a Girl," but is that really what Miley's doing? I thought she was bisexual.
