The FLDS & fundie christians support their families by collecting welfare & food stamps by claiming to be single parents ( they’re married by God not the law). They call it bleeding the beast. Don’t know if its the same with Hasidic communities, but that’s how the other breeder cults do it. 

The brooklyn hassidic population owns huge swaths of williamsburg and yet live off government benefits. You also cant marry outside of the community so they have the highest instances of recessive genetic disorders of any population in the world. Renting from a Hassid landlord was the worst year of my life. 

I just started reading Triangle: The Fire That Changed America, and the author discusses the differences between Eastern European Jewish women and Italian women working in the garment industry in New York in the early 1900s and 1910s. He said that, while both cultures deferred to the father and oldest son, Orthodox…

Patriarchy: “We encourage, even require, that women have as many babies as possible.”

These kids today are amateurs. The fastest big star journey from courtship to marriage to divorce in Hollywood was in 1964: Ethel Merman (her 4th) and Ernest Borgnine (his 3rd). They were both already huge stars and she was 56; he was 47 (both old enough to have known better and not been so impulsive).

I don’t know if this is a hot take or not, but if I ran a city, an ordinance I’d have passed would be:  If you’re a business that offers restrooms to your customers, you cannot refuse to make those restrooms available to the general public.  You don’t have to advertise the availability of restrooms, but if someone…

I have told people before who have refused use of a facility. “If you don’t have a public bathroom you soon will when I crap right here.”

Unless you are a young, enormous black man this might not be an apples-to-apples comparison

Off topic...hotel’s have really clean public bathrooms normally around the corner from the front desk.  Walk in like you are staying there.  Take a duece and leave.  In my sales days on the road, if nature called...find a hotel.

I wonder if they could pull off an inverse. Making Straight people gay? Straight conversion therapy, like a hardcore version of Queer Eye, where the straight person turns into this completely Stereotypical, Flamboyant Gay Person. It could be a comedy or a Dramedy?!!

The heart and dream to be a true, classic hero are still there, but Robert knows that, as a responsible adult living in the real world, the Sentry’s a part of himself that simply can’t exist.

Indeed. And Pogba was allowed to be Pogba because N’Golo was out there with him, doing literally everything else.

No, Meghan doesn’t have to do anything regarding her family to make you or anyone else feel better.

I get so annoyed with Meghan’s hair police. It’s racist, for a start - her hair is never going to behave like Kate’s.

I refer to this kind of behavior of publicly and ill-advisedly airing concerns regarding your estranged adult children with as voighting. But if he keeps it up, I’m going to start referring to it as markling.

Every time Tebow has an impure thought, he adds a punctuation mark as penance. 

I know. I love how she’s looking at him. <3 He’s probably her escape from the two older kids. “Baby needs quiet time. You’re on your own with the tiny monsters, Wills.” :D

It’s just scandalous for Meghan to touch Harry. He’s frowning in one of the photos. This means he is sick of marrying Meghan and is bitterly regretting his mistake. Another popular brain fart is that she told him after the wedding that she is infertile. Because they aren’t real people, they are soap opera characters.
