I'm a fully licensed pediatrician. Here's me with one of my favorite patients:

Your anecdote totally disproves this study because that's how that works.

Raise your hand if you didn't need a study to tell you this.

To me, this is a psychological trick white America plays with itself. In order to continue to delude itself that America is the best country, that we're just, that meritocracy is real and the American Dream exists, it will search for any and all reasons to pretend racism doesn't exist. Because once you admit it does,…

So, like, a big wedding is like telling everyone your "quit date" when you quit smoking?

I hate studies or articles that compare the U.S. to small, monocultural European countries. It's not so hard to have socialized health care and child care and low crime when you have a small population. We have cities bigger than these countries.

Exactly, also the larger weddings could indicate a more supportive community around the couple, which can help anyone stay together and whole!

Do it. We eloped 35 years ago. My husband and I are the happiest couple we know.

The more money part if a big thing. The couple who moved in next to my parents held a seemingly thousand person wedding on their lawn (my parents yard is 8 acres, their yard is like 10)(also it was probably only a few hundred but still). They had a band, a specially made gazebo, etc etc. It was friggin posh (and for…

I'm especially creeped out by it because he will always be Wheelchair Jimmy from Degrassi to me.

Okay, I have to confess: I find Drake incredibly goofy-looking.

It's a damned epidemic. Of course, anyone who speaks out against it in the mostly conservative military community is accused of attacking "family values".

Well, that's just plain awful. As someone who was in the military, I can speak to the amount of damage all of this infidelity and drama do, and how much more prolific it is in the military compared to the civilian world.

Men have no idea what tampons and pads cost and how deeply essential they are. There's a huge stigma about menstruation that makes a dude buying tampons for his usually overly emotional girlfriend into a tired TV comedy show trope. Women in poor countries either have nothing to bleed into it (and lose jobs and school…

Ell, anything you say is anti-Islamic and Anti-Arab. We already know you well enough to know that you never have anything useful, insightful or valuable to add.

You know that part in The Handmaid's Tale, where Offred described how Serena Joy was some powerful bigshot anti-feminist fundamentalist televangelist in the old America. And when Gilead was created and everything that she preached for came true, all she's left in her pathetic little life with is the power to make a…

WTF happened to Patton Oswalt?

They were making a what?
