As mentioned, it might not be child porn. I remember a case I saw while interning that involved a guy who took pictures of kids in his neighborhood and taped them on adult porn over the faces. It was hella creepy, but not child porn since it didn’t depict the sexual organs of a child.

Intervention has a pretty good success record. I remember a study about it I read in school, and it was 71% successful (relapses that were followed by sobriety counted in that number, which is only fair). But people who are on the show are agreeing to be part of a documentary about addiction, which means they usually

I don’t want to be pedantic, but this isn’t what the court said. The court refused to issue and injunction that would have allowed Kesha to record with other labels while the case works through the courts.

“You’re not the type of girl someone marries”.

It's weird how The Mary Tyler Moore show, which is 40 years old, remains way more progressive towards women's issues than stuff that exists today.

My depression was, at one point, diagnosed as Lupus. If I hadn't moved and gotten a new doctor I would probably spent a long time treating a condition I didn't have instead of getting on meds that actually helped. (Although I understand the misdiagnosis. My blood work still tests weird for Ana and I may have some yet

Well, she didn’t build that lego tower herself.

I read elsewhere that the baby was not medically cleared to fly back yet and is indeed staying with a family member.

Knowing the amount might be cool for those of us who want to know if our heavy periods are in the normal range or might be a sign of a problem. currently my doc asks me how many tampons I go through but that hardly seems scientific. But I don't like having to have the antennea sticking outside of the vagina. That

In 1998 I had to leave college because of a depression. So bad that I hadn’t left my dorm in three weeks and failed my classes. I went back home. One therapist told me that I’d probably never have a normal job or life.

Word on the awkwardness of not drinking. I choose not to drink because my entire family are recovering alcoholics. But people weirdly challenge me all the time about it when I decline a drink. “You can’t not drink because your father was an alcoholic. Maybe you won’t be, and you are missing out on drinking!” Well, I

I hope that they end up telling the kids. Addiction does seem to have a genetic component and they deserve to know that. I come from a family of alcoholics and drug addicts (and metal illness of course!). For that reason I have never had a drink. When I had to be on pain killers for gall stones I talked about my

People are just too volatile to know if intervening will make things worse. I have spoken up before when someone was more mean than loud, but this woman seemed off the rails.

They can still proceed on the negligence claim. I understand the beach of warranty from a legal theory perspective, but wrongful birth should have not been included if only because it made them look like assholes.

My work is often in government and I have a related add on to this rule: if you can’t find anyone who wants your jobs or can stay in them more than 6 weeks then you need to pay them more.

This breakup is the best thing to ever happen to Piggy. For years we’ve seen her trying single hoofed to keep the relationship going when Kermit seems uninterested. Fuck that. Piggy deserves a partner who knows how great she is and fights for her.

Don’t forget a dash of patriarchal “I know what is best for her”. As in, she wouldn't want to have to be a single mom and she would be hurt if she knew that I wasn't sexually satisfied, so really I must cheat for her own good.

I'm sorry you went through that. The level of compartmentalizing that men can do when they are cheating astounds me. Like, I find it hard to focus at work thinking about things in my life. But these guys seem to be able to literally put half their life out of their mind when they want something.

Std=short term disability.

In the relationship where I was cheated on, I would have definitely agreed to letting him be with someone else for sex. We were long distance. I get it.
