My dad read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy to me over the course of two years starting when I was about twelve. I'm the oldest of a lot of kids and I loved getting to have time alone with my dad when I was that age. Plus, it was obvious that he loved the books, and was delighted to share them with me. …

Aww, I like your husband.

Oh, silly, women don't have any agency. And no woman actually wants to have babies. Babies are something that are foisted upon her by those men that are so anxious to pass on their genes. Then the maternal instinct kicks in and they happily raise those babies. It's science.

Yeah, that's pretty much the long and the short of it, isn't it.

Dude's married?! Okay, he seems to think that male sexuality = rape. I am not just sorry for her; I'm worried about her.

Boy, Scott Adams has a pretty low opinion of male sexuality. The only way to stop rape is to chemically castrate all men? Really? That's the best solution you can come up with?

Me, three

Hearted.

I was just coming down here to post this. Getting a verbal and written reprimand isn't nothing, and just flat out firing him seems excessive. In the end, that would probably be counter-productive, too. Losing his job would probably just leave him with more animosity towards LGBTQ folks. If the behavior continues…

I think there are two things happening here. Sometimes a young woman with nothing going on in her life - no money, no job, no future - gets preganant and decides that the baby will give her life purpose, even if it's obvious that she is completely incapable of giving the child adequate care or upbringing.

People don't realize that frozen is sometimes healthier than fresh. Fresh fruit and veg is harvested before it's ripe so that it can ripen on the trip to the store. Frozen is picked when it's ripe, frozen (which does little to damage the nutrient content, unlike canning), and then shipped. That extra time on the…

Lucky her, she looks super cute with really short hair. I'm always jealous of girls who can wear their hair that short (although I know she probably didn't wind up with it by choice).

Okay, here's the thing: sometimes a friend of mine will hand me their phone and say, "Look at me and my baby at the zoo!" And I'll look and say, "Oh, that's so adorable. She's so pretty." And then I'll hand the phone back because, yeah, it's not my business to go scrolling around and I know some people keep…

Deer hoof and ear, apparently.

That seems like an awful lot of money to just let go through in an online transaction without some kind of additional authorization. In fact, it seems like more than say 10 or 20K at a time, especially if it's out of the ordinary, ought to trigger at least a phone call. The thing is, though, if banks can't be held…

My takeaway: real man = person I would not allow anywhere near my ladyparts. Or maybe real man = cast member of Jersey Shore.

If there was a god, he would have made this shit sterile.

It hasn't come up in my "liberal" marriage either, so there's that theory out the window.

There is no longer any such thing as a fiscally responsible conservative. I suggest we all remove the phrase from our vocabularies.

I was thinking that a.) the sound quality is pretty good for a cell phone being recorded off of speakers that are who knows how far awa and b.) the little bit of camera motion especially at the beginning and the end kind of makes the whole thing a little more disorienting. If it turns out to be an intentional leak,…
