Why does this irritate me so much? Anderson, be better.

because they’ll have shitty mons compared to the ones we’ve been grinding while they were bitching and it will be fun to kick their ass

When Ronald Reagan was governor of California he signed a major piece of gun-control legislation. The reason he did this is because the Black Panthers marched to the Capitol armed with rifles.

Chicago buses are slow enough for me to still walk eggs and catch garbage pokemon. God, the bus sucks.

That’s actually ‘working as intended’ as far as free-to-play games are concerned. Pokemon Go is currently still the #4 top grossing iOS app in the US. You can be sure it’s top 10 in most countries it’s been released in. The userbase that’s left is (much) more likely to pay and will have (much) higher average revenues…

...And it only took multiple years! Seriously though, kudos to Niantic for staying loyal to the minority of fans that committed themselves long-term. Far too many studios ditch their veteran fans the minute the next big project rolls out.

Yup. Even in cases of pregnancy. It’s 2018, there are no good reasons for kids too young to sign a contract to get married.

Another reason why all marriages, even those with parental consent, should be illegal for minors to entire into.

33 is young to have a 16 year old. It’s also young to have five kids. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar had happened to them and this was just how they think these things are dealt with. I’m glad those kids are out of there.

I don’t mean to talk out of turn, but a 34 and 33 year old with a 16 year old and they’re trying to force her into an arraigned marriage?

Given what he’s been accused of in the past I doubt he will see any repercussions for this. As much as you lovely law folks like to believe in the system it only “works” when poor people get accused. 99% of the time the Michael Cohen’s of the world get off scot-free. By all means come back and gloat if I’m wrong on…

I love reading posts like this. When I left an abusive (physical and emotional) marriage in 1977, there was so very little support for women back then. I couldn’t get a loan from my bank on my own. I couldn’t get anything that even resembled a credit card on my own. No financial independence available.

I have walked in your shoes and am so happy for you. Finding out that sex can be enjoyed is such a revelation after you’ve been in a bad situation. Bonus points for reining yourself in and being thoughtful about who you hook up with.

Does Jezebel seem kinda dead lately to anyone else?

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I updated everyone. Several months ago I started posting about my abusive marriage and really appreciated everyone’s support as I prepared to leave. Now I am here to update everyone that I have been gone a little over 3 months. I am in my dream apartment. It might not be much to…

I think “doesn’t give a shit anymore” may very well be the correct interpretation.

I just don’t understand her obsession with replying to people on twitter, and effectively publicly commenting. In the beginning, there was a bit of mystery and excitement (“is SJP a secret bitch?! does everyone hate her??” ha), but now it’s all making Cattrall look terribly petty and ridiculous. For someone who played…

I hadn’t thought about it that way. Man, that sucks. Our culture is also misogynic but in practice that hatred has less severe consequences because of the high-level social security network.

If more men realized that—that this kind of setup HURTS THEM as well as women and kids—maybe we could get the sea change going.

Oh yes, I absolutely agree. My comment was just that if you weren’t going to overhaul the whole thing for everyone then we need to fix maternity leave first if simply because there is something to physically recover from in the first couple of weeks. But if that could be accomplished at the same time as parental leave…
