I’ve heard people defend their intention to vote for a third party by saying they don’t want to have to settle for voting against someone, they want to vote FOR someone.

It’s pretty much just constant existential dread every day.

My freshman year college roommate actually CALLED me to introduce herself before move in. On a landline phone, no less. But now email is old fashioned to the point that the kids aren’t used to communicating that way? Sheesh I’m getting old.

Wow. What a perfect embodiment of the kind of stawmen conservatives use when they rail against political correctness.

Sure to both. Can’t resist a guy who knows how to smize.

I really don’t think Donald Trump has ever felt the warmth of another person’s genuine love and affection. I’ don’t think he’s ever had an authentic moment with another human being. I feel sorry for Donald Trump.

That’s what I came here to talk about!! She’s only a month older than me yet her kids look about a decade older than mine. I wonder if her having been a teen mom is a plot point??

Another one is the “marriage is hard work” trope. I’ve been with my husband a decade and it’s never particularly felt like work. Not through kids, parents’ deaths, financial struggles, any of it. On the contrary, my marriage was what helped me keep my sanity through all the other stresses life threw at me. If it’s a…

Would I have to fuck a goat in order to keep my current husband and the father of my children in my life? Or does this question presuppose that I haven’t started my life with my husband yet?

To me, it’s okay to say “we’re biologically the same, so don’t be racist” but it’s not okay to say “we’re biologically the same, so race doesn’t matter.” This quote seems to be more of the former, where as Meryl’s... well it SEEMS to be more of the latter, but I really don’t know what she’s trying to way.

When I was 9 years old, my friend told me that rape was when a man pushed on your boobs really hard. I don’t think she was trying to lie to me, she was probably just misinformed. Anyway, 2 years later in sixth grade we watched Alex Haley’s Roots miniseries in school, and the boy sitting next to me was talking about…

Adding to the voices to say that I had a miscarriage, most of the tissue was absorbed by a maxi pad. The rest went into the toilet. I’m not sure what’s unscientific about the statement you are “correcting.”

Scalia used to teach law at UVA and U of Chicago. Coincidentally, Scalia’s son attended UVA and U of Chicago law school. I’m not saying his son didn’t deserve to go to those schools; as far as I can tell, he did very well. I’m saying maybe Scalia should think twice about making assumptions about whether a student…

I think it’s important for kids to learn to swim here, too (southern california), but they don’t learn that. Not in the classes I’ve seen for babies under a year old around here. Maybe sometimes in the toddler classes, every once in awhile.

My favorite is “swim class” for babies. Which seems to be that the parent holds the baby in the pool while the baby splashes. My kids already have a bathtub, thanks.

Whoops, replied before I saw your comment.

Guess they didn’t learn anything from the Denny’s lawsuit 20 years ago.

This is the third time in the last few months I’ve seen a commenter refer to someone in their early-mid thirties as “middle aged.” I’m just going to assume they’re time travelers from the 1950s when the life expectancy was closer to 65.

I can’t imagine cheating because I can’t imagine backsliding while drunk and then going right back to being a vegetarian the next day. I was a vegetarian for 17 years for ethical reasons. I started eating meat again because my toddler was old enough to eat meals with us, and my husband is not vegetarian and we’re not…

As a curly head, I didn’t think I could have bangs, but then I brought a picture of Rihanna to the salon (google image search “Rihanna curly bangs” to see what I mean) and the results were my favoritest hair cut ever. I mean, they run the risk of looking very 80s on some days. Occasionally more Jennifer Grey from…
