oh my God, Teal'c has so many perfectly gif-able moments.

whuuuuut. omg.

oh yeah women totally get abortions at 37 weeks just BECAUSE. and my cousin whose very much wanted baby was gonna be born without a brain just got an abortion for shits and giggles. right. uh huh.

also, the bald eagle egg is already outside the mother's body and can be cared for by someone/something else until it hatches, if necessary. We can't do fetus transplants. If the mother eagle has a disease, she's already laid the egg, so smashing it isn't going to improve her quality of life, unlike, say, a human…

My spouse works at a big box electronics store and this is exactly what he says. The stuff that's on some HUGE DEAL on Black Friday is really crappy. You are not actually getting a deal. And if they are advertising something like an Apple product, where Apple controls the pricing, they will only have a handful of…

ahahhaa. YOU SLACKER. Y U NO MAKE YOUR OWN ICE??? There might be TOXINS in machine made ice!!!!

here we have a person who thinks Africa is one monolithic country, instead of an enormous continent with fifty something countries and even more ethnic groups with their own customs, cultures, traditions, religions, languages, accents.

Even if there was such a word, it's just stupid to apply it to ICE. If I'm crafting some handmade edible, that implies that there is more effort than taking some water and shoving it in the freezer. Bragging about your handmade ice is just stupid. I put water in an ice cube tray and freeze it. It doesn't mean I've…

of course he did.

or people that yap on about "tenured teachers" thinking public school tenure means the same thing as it does in higher ed, when it does not. or assuming that all states have teachers' unions (they do not). grrrr

Anything that inconveniences employers = TEH WORST, KILL IT WITH FIRE

I know leave varies by state and by company, but in my case, all of the other moms I knew from work had 12 weeks off, paid. I was shocked when I heard back from HR that I would be getting only six. That's because, I was told, it was six weeks for recovering from giving birth and six weeks for bonding time.
