That's true; it is unfair to people with *real* mental health issues to say that people who are pricks are just mentally ill. Having behavioral problems isn't a mental illness...

Some people are just assholes. I'm sorry if that sounds uncharitable but a lot of people who act out are dicks, they don't all have mental health or unresolved issues that need therapy. It's unfair to people with mental health issues and it's too generous to all the shitheads.

They completely brought this on themselves. Putting aside the fact that she is a horror, you don't hire somebody to work for you in exchange for room and board and no additional wages. You create a situation of complete dependency, in which they will have no where to go and no money to get them there the moment the…

Yeah, what the ever lovin' blue-eyed fuck? I live in Singapore, and I have a live in maid/nanny. She gets room and board, obviously, but there's also a minimum wage. It's horribly low and we pay her about double the minimum, but the minimum wage exists, as do mandatory days off once a week on Sunday. Singapore does…

Room and board? What about wages? How is she supposed to live?

They probably thought they got a cheap good deal in getting somebody who only wants room and board. I don't know much about labor laws, but is it even legal to hire somebody and not pay them any wages at all?

Telesma summed it up nicely. Many, probably most, of us knew that boy in high school who kind of spoke in cop-speak and acted a little officious and stiff. Nothing wrong with that, and for my part I will own up to having been mean with my sister about those guys, many of whom were good at heart and went on to have…

Star: I don't like women with too many muscles...

I will never understand why Jessica Simpson became the body issues punching bag for every tabloid in the world. She's a knockout and has pretty much always looked like a knockout, I can detect no real difference between her and all the other female celebrities that apparently aren't deserving of this degree of insane…

I seem to the be in the minority, but I actually am rather happy her account was pulled. I don't think its right for parents to post so many pictures of their children on social media. I always think that if the child grows up and sees that, they might be really embarrassed or upset. I remember one time my mom made a…

And my spouse can make medical decisions for me in a pinch. It doesn't mean I want him posting nudes of me online without asking me.

Well, good. Maybe when the kid applies for a job in 20 years, the interviewer will google her name and this "adorable" photo won't be the first thing to come up. Maybe there will be actual content that she actually CONSENTED to upload to the internet for the rest of time. Like maybe accomplishments or awards or some…

I'm very uncomfortable with the tone in which this clip was presented. The poor woman had a miscarriage a couple of years ago, and wants to see if a) she's likely to get pregnant again at this point and b) if she does get pregnant, if there's anything she can do to avoid another miscarriage. So she goes to a high…

Tracie Egan Morrissey creating a click bait title, on a Gawker site no less? nooooooo.

Thank you. This was an incredibly misleading post ESPECIALLY when it chopped in half the quote where she says she is willing to accept not having anymore kids. Not that I'm a fan of the Duggars or anything.

She is not seeking fertility treatment; she's asking a doctor if there are any potential issues that she should be aware of should she get pregnant. She specifically says she is fine not having any more children, but should she get pregnant, she wants to know what she might need to be aware of and what she might need…

I don't think so, actually. I know a lot of people who are on meds - who NEED those meds - who are completely stable and would be fine with a gun. And even MORE unmedicated people who absolutely do not need to have guns. I know people, too, who would refuse to get the help they needed if it meant giving up their…

I'm glad I'm not the only one giving some serious side eye because of that line.

maybe for you, but I take 5 mg of Ambien occasionally because I have extreme difficulties going to sleep and staying asleep and have never had the "roofie" effect nor the "hallucinogenic" effect you describe. Maybe you have other issues unrelated to the Ambien?

I have to disagree with you there. I've been taking Ambien for years, and the craziest thing I've ever done was eat a cheese sandwich with blackberry jelly. I know that anecdotes do not equal evidence, but how many people who take ambien regularly end up as mass shooters? My initial guess is "not many."
