Co-signed times a billion. Not sure why there’s no decent pics, no useful info, and stupid face-pulling. The author seems to have no beauty background knowledge (why are you applying highlight to the side of your face? Who applies moisturiser like that?) and brings nothing to the table - what’s even the point of this…

Whyyyyyyyy why why is a beauty column using lo-res gifs, compressed color, no before-and-after pics, no product pictures and no clear indication of what the product looks like on your face? I know you guys are going for something different, but you’re completely abandoning the point to do so. Not to mention, the…

Yes, totally. I also find it extremely disingenuous. EVERYONE exaggerates their feelings. People are always striving to connect to others and, in that attempt, try to create analogies that help solidify that connection or level of understanding.

Well said. Over analysis of words and willful outrage for the sake of being outraged do a lot to obscure and desensitize people to actual prejudice.

I feel like in general we have lost touch with the whole concept of analogies. If one person ever says thing A is kind of analogous to thing B they are always taken to be saying thing A is exactly the same as thing B.

FFS. Travel like a pro. Don’t board first class until the masses have wiggled onto the plane. Then slip in quietly. But his ego is too large. He’s become a delicate flower

Arguably since he is writing in english, the common thought would be to write in english. Since, you know, english. And writing it in french in an english letter IS a misspelling. I get the pretension is that his family lives in France but honestly,do you think he writes about his family when he is composing a letter…

As a person with an autoimmune disease, I am not offended in any way shape or form and actually think this is a pretty good analogy. People need to sit the fuck down.

Ugh, I’m really getting sick of language being SO policed. Didn’t anyone with severe allergies also get upset at Lorde and force her to apologize? People die from allergies!

As somebody who went to Zimbabwe in college (I studied abroad and was backpacking) and didn’t tell my parents where I was because I knew they’d be upset, I can report: You just don’t think it will happen to you. You’re in a foreign area, and everything keeps being thrilling, and you just continue exploring. The…

I posed this question and was accused of victim blaming. I don’t think the penalty for making bad travel choices should be death, so... not victim blaming. At the same time I honestly cannot understand why in the hell someone would want to go to North Korea. It seems like the opposite of fun.

My goodness, them boys are ugly.

Interesting, but I don’t like the idea that all career advice is bad and tells us to just put on a blazer and pretend we went to Harvard. There’s plenty of fantastic advice out there that is nothing like what is described above. I guess you are advising that we should just ignore all of the career advice articles on…

It’s been an incredibly long time since any level of virtuosity was required to be a huge pop-star. You could make the same argument for Rihanna (really can’t sing as her live performances remind us time after time), Lady Gaga (moderately talented across all fronts which is especially glaring now that she’s gotten…

This is pretty fucking stupid. I am an artist and have paid major homage to the First Americans of the PNW in the US in my art. That being said, misleading and misrepresentation are bad, obviously, but banning/punishing “cultural appropriation” is an absurd notion.

I thought it was a “travel ban”.

Adults who live their entire lives managing, thinking about, and obsessing over child athletics, Olympics or otherwise, are bizarre and freakish.

Something about her story always gets me more than other similar ones. There seems to be a vulnerability to her that I wish someone had either protected, or helped her find a way to guard. So fucking sad. Watching that Diane Sawyer interview is really uncomfortable. I don’t know if she had an eating disorder or not,…

I’m waiting with you. I wonder if whoever thinks it’s an overstatement is old enough to recall, firsthand and vividly, what a MASSIVE star she was at her height, and the way her image was portrayed at that time. I remember, firsthand and vividly.

I am just thinking of ones I’ve enjoyed which were at the peak and then crashed, so George Michael
