they did not have European law schools, but that does not mean they did not have complex legal systems.

I was less enamored by this quote because, considering what we did to the Native Americans and how a lot of it was justified because they were “unsophisticated savages” following this exact train of thought and lot of those people came from Europe...it’s squicky

When you say she neglected to tell him she didn’t love him - do you mean literally, she never said “I love you”? Or was she lying?

Has anyone read/is familiar with Garret Kramer at Inner Sports? He’s this sports psychology/coach person that I stumbled upon and his whole belief is that all this “mental prepping” like power poses,visualization, etc. is absolute bullshit. He believes that circumstances cannot cause feelings, so any external…

I’ve heard a lot of dubious things from therapists, but the two that take the cake:

I read something yesterday from NPR that was a collection of anecdotes of people who had to figure out “racially awkward” moments in their life. One of them was a story about a guy whose friend was in indie comics, and he wrote something reprehensible (sexist, racist, etc.) as work that the dude considered necessary…

Make sure he doesn’t have an UTI - my cat started peeing in my shoes and in my closet and I yelled at him until I realized the pee was bloody

Oh that works too. I just know they have got some super thin and not super bulky bondage sex/water sports sheets now and I remember when I first touched them at the store my immediate thought was CATS!! CAT URINE PROTECTANT! (Even though my cat baby is very good and has never peed on my bed)

Oh! Oh! Get those waterproof sex sheets for bondage/water sports and put it under your normal sheets!! You’ll still have to do sheets but at least saves your mattress

“He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes,”

Libertarianism sounded so good in high school before I went out and actually met them

Not to mention if you balance 1000 things at work it’s just kinda, you know, expected whereas you know if a man did it he would be fucking lauded to the stars

It’s like those white men that are super racist and married to women

It’s weird because the *implicit* punchline of these jokes is basically saying “But har har I’m SOOO ugly and totally not in their league, like think how weird it would be if we were together, right? right? so that’s why it’s funny guys, amirite?”

Every time I see “pro se litigant” on a case I just...

Won’t work in NYC though!

Okay so...where exactly is he injecting the needle in the clit? Because (as I told Gin and Tonic in the comments), I have a certain kind of genital piercing that I researched HEAVILY before getting. Mine is just the hood and not the actual clit, but there are other kinds, like the triangle, that pass through the clit.…

Hey! High-five, fellow VCH haver!
