If you thought this was something, try church! That hustle is protected by law!

“But what about the comfort she giv-”
No. Lying to you for money is a scam, even when it’s a pleasant lie. May this woman never sleep again for what shes done to these families

We’ve been using Kohn forever, too, and this is what we do with our 10 yr old. I see the teen years coming, and we have those pre-teen huffs now and again, but I am pleased to hear that he’ll keep engaging if we keep going.

Spanking and yelling* at kids are both demonstrably harmful, whether it rises to objective levels of “abuse” or not. And both are usually rooted in trying to compel compliance and obedience. There’s just no room for respecting the child and where they’re at in the authoritarian model of parenting. But that…

My mom hit/spanked me and my dad was quietly disappointed and spoke to me in a soft voice about the impact of my behavior on myself and other people. All my life, I have been way more invested in my dad’s opinions and scared that he was disapproving of my choices. My mom lashing out physically just made me see that…

Always confused me how it was a crime to hit an adult. But a defenseless child that you have complete and total control over - smack and whip away.

The best response I’ve ever read to “Look, my parents spanked me and I turned out fine!” is “No, you didn’t. You think it is okay to hit little kids.”

You decide:

I am with you on the Carl and Sarah story. I don’t know why she had to answer her brother’s every call. I was so mad she didn’t get to have sex with that beautiful man. That bod!

I recently went to TomTom while visiting LA for work (not even the slightest bit ashamed)- my server was around 13 but sweet, the food was okay and LISA VANDERPUMP was there and spoke to me and was GORGEOUS and super nice. That’s all. Also, Ken was there with Giggy in a tracksuit (who dined on the table FROM THE…

thank gawd this is back.

Who the hell let Alex Jones out of the grays? Investigate? 

lol.

Uh, no.

Avril died in 2003

Except that’s false.  The people that hired her say it had no basis.  In fact the only people that talked about it were Scott Brown and Donald Trump.

The issue is that with this DNA test it proves she is Native American just not significant enough to justify systemic adjustments for her. It’s kind of the whole issue with the right turning it into a controversy because they desperately want her to have taken advantage of some piece of carve outs for NAs and by all…

does the Splinter staff wake up every morning and think, “What can I do today to diminish leftist voter enthusiasm in the runup to this, the last election standing between what’s left of American democracy and outright fascism?”?

This is terrible and wrong. There is no nice spin to it. It’s just bad.

Warren NEVER claimed to be a formal member of any tribe, just that family lore had it that she was descended from Native Americans. She was mocked and vilified for this. But that lore now has been very strongly buttressed by DNA testing.

She isn’t…

This article distresses me. My grandfather was disowned by his tribe and left in an orphanage because (we think) he was half-black. For my life, I haven’t put it on any official forms, but I’ve told many people about my ancestry. The idea that someone could take away my ancestry and my history, isn’t hard to…
