Not really a matter of shaming other people. More of a matter of looking back and going "Holy shit, I'm lucky I was never murdered."

The U.S. actually does this too. A lot of "ice creams" are now sold as "frozen dairy dessert". http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/17/din…

Jesus Christ, I'm glad I'm beyond the age where I idiotically thought that having sex with strangers made me cool, adult, and sexually liberated.

Also, family connections and lots of money.

Catholicism isn't passed along just by birth, and definitely not by only the father's side. A child can be baptized in the Catholic Church if either parent is a practicing Catholic. Once the child reaches past the age of 7 or so, they're at the "age of reason" and can make the decision to convert for themselves…

My dad used to always ask me what I've read lately. I now dread this question. Damn you, Steve/Bucky fanfic tag.

I also read Avengers fanfic semi-obsessively, and I seriously raised my eyebrows at that "Less than 1% of fics are knotting" because A/B/O fics are all over the tags I scan on Marvel and Sherlock fandoms.

I am still mad about this video posted on Jezebel two years ago that lumped Maria from The Sound of Music in the manic pixie dream girl category. http://jezebel.com/5929135/this-i…

I have taken this test so many fucking times. Even the Army has bought into this crap. The only time I even remotely cared was that one where it matched me up to a Disney Princess based on my Meyers-Briggs type.

To be fair, most of those women almost certainly dye their hair. As a fellow one-time bottle-blonde, I can spot my sisters in misguided hair styling.

I swear, half the reason I stay married is so I won't have to deal with bullshit wedding expectations again.

That's dumb, because the bleachers are the most fun place to sit in that park. And I hate the Cubs.

All I know is that the Italians will put fucking anything in their paella. The same goes for pizza. You haven't lived until you've looked at an Italian pizza menu and seen shrimp pizza, asparagus pizza, brie and zucchini on pizza, or Gorgonzola on pizza.

Um, WTF. Just this whole story. WTF.

Not to mention that you're more likely to have money. IUI, IVF, surrogacy and adoption are all more expensive compared to plain old PIV sex.

All I know is that my husband totally gets my Alexander Skarsgard appreciation, and what's more, doesn't blame me for it. That's true love, right there.

I work for the U.S. Army, so yeah, you do pay for those drug tests.

For the vast majority of those 12 million people the extent of this program will be peeing into a cup. They will still get benefits. Hell, they won't even have to have someone watch them do it, like you do in my job for drug testing.

Well I can't speak for every situation, but in my stepkid's situation mom was selling welfare benefits for drugs and my stepkid and the other children in the household still weren't getting fed regularly. Then my stepkid's mom went begging to relatives for food and more money. It took years for us to prove that this…
