Before anyone blames teacher’s unions for the suspension with pay thing - collective bargaining for public employees is prohibited in North Carolina.

Vermont might be progressive with many things, but the state really likes to hunt. It’s a pretty big tourist draw, too. Being pro-gun is almost a necessity for Sanders.

This was so racist, Glen Beck has been marveling on his radio show for two days about it. You know you’re way over the line when even Glen Beck can’t believe you said that.

See, I think if the students had to be naked in front of the whole class, I would be more okay with it. But going into a darkened, candlelit room alone with an older professor and being completely naked as a condition of passing the course has a completely different vibe to me.

This is a really weird power dynamic, and I have to agree that it is super inappropriate. That being said, the student is an adult. Asking mom for support and advice is fine, but she needs to make the complaint herself.

BRB. Have to go tell all my friends and family who wished me a happy first mother’s day on Facebook that they’re evil sexist pigs for mentioning the “first” part.

I had twins earlier this year. When we were coming up with names, we took our lists and crossed off every name that appeared in the top 20 names of the past few years. I like quite a few of those names, but didn’t want to doom my children to be one of three Sophie/Sophia/Sofia’s in her class.

I hate the on base beauty shop. I live off post and get my hair cut at a salon near my house.

Huh. I live in Red State, Army Town, USA and can’t remember the last rental I looked at that DIDN’T have a dishwasher. The South: ahead of the curve for once!

I honestly don’t think the comparison between Natasha and Tony is ridiculous at all. First, Tony thought the modification was irreversible for years. Second, the modification leaves him terribly vulnerable, and he’s almost killed by it multiple times. Third, the modification was only done in the first place to keep…

A couple of points. One, Natasha only brought up her being sterilized once Bruce had used his infertility as an excuse for them not being together in a relationship. So I’m not sure to say it’s her worst pain. It’s one of them. But we’re not bashing on Bruce Banner here, for thinking that not being able to have…

I’ve actually suffered from diagnosed infertility, though I eventually went on to have twins through IUI.

It’s false labor, essentially. While you’re pregnant your uterus occasionally contracts in preparation for giving birth. These are called Braxton Hicks contractions. Some people confuse them with real labor pains and go to the hospital.

“In some small way, I wanted to help them avoid the terrible life I would have given them,” Megan Huntsman said in a statement her attorney read aloud.

Maybe the parents didn’t know the kid was disabled?

That is a much better comparison.

I always find the nun thing to be a bit of a straw man argument. Nuns are a small subset of certain Christian denominations, who decide as adults to take special vows of chastity and devote their lives to God. Meanwhile, many Muslim girls are strongly encouraged to cover themselves from head to toe as children,…

If my sibling sent me this, I’d send the kid a picture book and a hat with his name on it out of spite.

It’s a talk show?

Super misleading title, Bro.

I hope she has a good support system. Quadruplets usually have to be delivered by C-Section by 28 weeks. Recovery from that won’t be easy, and the babies will almost certainly need extensive NICU time. I can’t imagine recovery from a C-Section at 65 being a walk in the park, and then caring for four preemies on top of…
