Why are we all collectively not talking more abt the plane?!? I ask friends their theories, and there like " What plane?" And then I wonder if the aliens got to my friends, too?!?!?

that is the worst. our society has a loooooong way to go re: fat people, yes i know BUT. shaming thin people is not the way to do it. i've been called anorexic myself, and its bullshit. trash talking thin people is not how we fix this! that's just switching the negativity to a different group. we need to accept all…

You can't both lose weight and lose size if you're starting at a size 2.

How about we all agree to not use the word "Ick" to describe other people's bodies. Fat, thin, or skinny-fat, judgement is not a particularly flattering look on anyone.

"The issue is that inactivity, even among naturally thin people, can cause a buildup of fat around the internal organs, which isn't something that necessarily manifests externally, but wreaks havoc internally."

I don't think that it was meant to be an accurate description of YA writers.

Skinny fat for life person over here: Fuck you. You are the worst. Literally no one likes you. Anyone who does like you are awful themselves or are compelled due to blood ties. You do not get to say, "ick" regarding anyone's bodies ever. You do not have permission. You are not entitled to bestow this criticism. Even…

Not sure if marathoners who don't lift are considered "skinny fat" - I thought the term was more for the sedentary thin?

I don't know anyone who thinks that an inactive skinny person is, by default, always healthier than an someone who looks overweight.

This incredibly unsympathetic description of the first episode is completely at odds with what I saw when I watched. I saw a woman who is surrounded by people who are constantly wanting to take advantage of her. She was right to argue with the guys filming the lingerie shoot. They were manipulative jerks. She did…

I don't know....it seems like he did the absolute best he could at the time, and he seems to be taking a very honest look at everything now, too. Wishing his son had never been born seems to be a stage in grief. It may well not be permanent. Dylan Klebold's mother said something along the lines of having come to…

Most (American) mass murderers are white because most Americans are white. Wikipedia has a list of mass shootings over the past 30 years or so, and it's a short enough list that you can do the counting yourself. You'll find whites are represented by about the same fraction in both the population of mass murderers and…

And you real think this was just another white male? And all of a sudden blaming an entire group of people is helpful?

This article/interview, it seems, is that the mother didn't actually believe her son had the ability. She wasn't afraid of him, didn't see that potential in him. Now, this could be a coping mechanism and she simply was actively ignoring any signs in order to carry on, or she really truly didn't believe he had the…

Stop. Just stop.

This isn't about race. For once, let it not be about race, because it isn't. It's about mental illness in the community, guns and unspeakable tragedy. Plenty of race issues to pick on; this is not one.

On the 5th anniversary of Holloway’s disappearance, Van der Sloot was in Lima, Peru, for a poker tournament, where he found himself on a losing streak. He lured Flores to his hotel room for a game of online poker where van der Sloot beat her to death.

Is anyone else tired of celebrity walkons? I like the Hamm, but i hate the whole "cut to surprise guest star, hold for applause" thing.

I'm okay at math, but it TORTURED me all through school. I'd cry and fling my books across the room while trying to make sense of it. The thing is, my parents tried to encourage me—they made flash cards, worked with me, told me I was smart enough to get this.

I wrote earlier that I'm old enough to remember when the ______ in "SNL hasn't been funny since _______ left" was John Belushi.
