What is Jewel? That sounds like one of those instances where someone thought they were being rebellious and cool, but really people just thought it was weird and ignored it.

I've tried to combat my habit of not keeping a million tabs open by instead just adding everything to my reading list. Now I have a billion articles added to my reading list. I should probably look through those soon.

I don't think I'll ever not have that song stuck in my head, and I'm ok with that.

Yes! That's exactly how it is. I like how happy Parks and Rec is, and 30 Rock didn't have that.

Oh I hadn't heard of that, I'll look into it. I didn't know what I should start watching next.

Never be ashamed of that. Treat yo self to limited human interaction and netflix binges.

I have been going back and forth from dreading it and ignoring the fact that it's happening for the past couple months. I foresee myself pretending to be really busy with school that week.

I am officially on spring break and my introvert self is pleased because my sister is out of town and I get a whole week to myself. Also, my introvert self needs this whole week to prepare for the fact that when my sister comes back, her boyfriend and our parents will be staying with us for a week. In a 2 bedroom…

I replied to her again, after reading all the rest of the comments. When I first commented there were no other comments and I thought she was serious about shaking the shit out of her kid, which is not ok under any circumstances. Apparently she was joking/exaggerating so fine.

I brush mine before I wash it but that's pretty much it.

I am not for spanking and I don't like it. I am not equipped to give information or advice regarding spanking or other methods that can be used, thankfully there are people like you who can explain it a lot better than I can. All I can say is it's wrong and there are better ways, but not much beyond that.

When I commented, nobody else had commented, this was just one lone comment in the grays that freaked me out. Oh well, good discussion at least. Valuable information being passed around.

Yes I figured that would be dangerous for a 4 year old. Reading the rest of her comments, it seems she exaggerated in her original post (I hope she exaggerated in her original post), so hopefully there's no abuse going on here.

So now that I'm looking back at this thread I see everybody freaking the fuck out. Honestly when I first read your post I was horrified, because of the "shake the shit out of him" part. That's not ok. And it made me think you were hitting him hard rather than spanking him, and that hitting him was your go-to…

I personally CANNOT take anymore of people defending police murdering people in the streets. Even if they're defending a fictional cop in a fictional situation. So even though him having a knife would've still made the shooting wrong, I'm glad that wasn't the case on this episode because we already have to hear enough…

I know that they hit, what's your point? There are other ways to discipline a child without hitting them; time outs, loss of privileges, etc. And things you do with children are not the same as things you would do with adults.

Because clearly you have to have kids to think that shaking the shit out of a 4 year old sounds terrible. And also apparently you have to have kids to be able to read a fucking book.

My hair has gone through many stages, but I do love my curly hair the best. I was born with curly hair, then around 3 or 4 it became bery straight. Then around 9 or 10 it started getting curly and my mom had no idea what to do with it. So I just brushed it like I always did. It was horrible. My hair was so big.

I know these are women's colleges, but I was under the impression they already couldn't deny admission to anyone. Like how white people can go to historically black colleges if they want.

I don't have kids, but I work with kindergarteners. I'm not trying to judge you, I understand they can be frustrating, but generally using violence to teach against violence doesn't work. It might work in the moment, but not long term. There has been a lot of research pertaining to this, and the negative effects it…
