"Our intention was never, ever, to offend anyone, so we decided to rethink our campaign and remove those clips. Thank you for letting us know how you feel."

I do this, too. I call my parents (who are still together) every night on my way home from work or to pick up my carpool buddy. It's just 10-30 mins of chit chat, but it's nice and makes the drive go by much more quickly. And means that I don't have to do an hour long phone call once every couple weeks to catch up on…

I met my husband online back in 2004, but not on a dating site. He was a senior in high school in California, and I was a junior in an Oklahoma high school. We met in Everquest. In Paludal Caverns, Bandit Camp 2. We grouped up by chance to grind some levels and kinda hit off a great lil friendship. We played together…

Make them wear a cup, which they probably are doing anyways for protection, and ya know make them learn that touching a woman is not an inherently sexually stimulating act because women aren't inherently sexual objects, which they should probably be learning anyways.

There's these two options from maurices. Neither are perfect twins, but pretty close and pretty cute!

Nope. This casting is not acceptable. The only casting acceptable is the awesome woman who played Admiral Cain in BSG. Because this was who my brain immediately cast upon meeting her in the books and dear god was my brain so fucking right about this y'all.

Is anybody else kinda disturbed by the woman's completely lack of alarm or outrage at a) the fact that she's dead and b) that she's being blackmailed into sexual slavery?

This is a terrible, sensationalist post. The horrific breeding practices of these specific breeders has nothing to do with the breeds themselves. While two of the three breeds mentioned here have wild cats in their recent genetic history, the one most talked about and denigrated in this article is the fully…

Kinda: I had talked my then-boyfriend into going out for a run with me. He was in the Army and physically fit, while I was very much not and was attempting to take up a running regimen (which I was doing damn good at at the time). This basically meant I was running and breathing and sweating hardcore while he lightly…

I haven't gotten past the third book yet (pacing myself so I have more GOT to enjoy after this season is over), but I think Sansa is exactly what crawledoutofthesea said: an example of how impossible the feminine gender roles are. She is exactly the kind of privileged woman this society purports to uphold as the…

Most treadmills have a little leash/latch thing on them that you are supposed to clip to your clothes while you're on them. In the event that you trip or just stop walking, the leash being jerked will stop the machine automatically. I assume, since I've never done this with any of my dogs, that they have the dogs…

I just want to point out some severe stupidity in a whole wall of stupid: "In prehistory, when the females of a band came under attack from hostile animals or another group of humans, there best response (being unarmed gatherers rather than hunters) was to either run away or hole up in a cave until the men in their…

Okay, so lets say we all want to make this whole last name thing even. And there's a family who has two kids, one boy, one girl. You name them both first middle mom'slast dad's last. No hyphens, just two last names, indicating two family lines. When it's time for the kiddos to pair off, wouldn't it be logical to just…

Also involves pregnant persons having control over their birthing process, from how and where to birth and stopping doctors and the government from butting in with unnecessary and unwanted interventions.

It is true that a part of the wage gap is caused by the differing 'life choices' women make compared to men. And I'll get back to those scare quotes in a moment, but even taking that into account, along with matching up job description, education levels, family sizes, years on job, hours worked, benefits paid, etc…

So glad I was not the only one who had that episode replaying in my mind as I read the article.

Same here, I've been on Nuva Ring for years now and do the 4 week rotation. My body does the 'oh yea, well here have a period anyway' around month 4 and it's usually really light (at least compared to my normal, non hormonal BC flow) with minor cramping for a week or so on either end of it. Which is a far better deal…

Tanning beds can cause burns, especially if your skin is fair or prone to burning. That's exactly why there is a limit on how long you can be in there, and why it is usually based on your skin type.

Nope, I sometimes worry about that with our dogs, and I find myself comforted by the knowledge that one of our dogs is tenacious as fuck and would find a way out of the house, coax our other dog through it, and together they'll find a way to survive on the streets (and possibly take down a few zombie hordes while…

I'm no expert in pandas, but they're low mating success in the wild may be an artifact of our impact on their environment. The passenger pigeon needed a certain high population level to mate successfully (due to social factors, and possibly things like epigenetics), once they had been hunted to below a certain…
