Not sure why people are being such dicks to you. The term “geriatric pregnancy” is outdated. And, there’s actually some controversy about what that’s even supposed to mean. . . . .(increased risk of what? birth defects? premature birth? ). . . . and there is no magic cut-off point—age 35 is pretty arbitrary. But,…

Thanks so much for sharing your story—I like how supportive you are being to the OP. I’m 32, want kids badly, but am in year 4 of a PhD program, and am on anti-anxiety meds and, ahem, have a full-blown tobacco addiction. By which I mean, I have some hurdles to cross before I can get pregnant. . . . I’m not sure…

I’m 32 now and I know I want kids so badly—I’m not ambivalent at all. But now’s not really the right time and I am ambivalent about that—I have no idea how I can continue to (try to) be professionally successful and have a newborn. . . . .But, I’m starting to get a little terrified though—because people have started…

I like it as a rhetorical point—it’s pretty powerful (I think). But, when you extend it as these authors have—to become an analytic tool or a methodological instrument—it becomes pretty meaningless, imo.

Thank you for this. . . . .I was having problems interpreting these results—and I think it is because the lack of a control group.

I hate this whole “business man=good for the economy” bullshit. I’m trying very, very hard to have respect for my republican compatriots. . . . but it becomes harder and harder every time I see a poll that says the majority of voters think Trump is best equipped to handle the economy. And National Security. Oyw.

Ehhhh. . . I dunno. I was kind of thinking “idiot” when she said that Trump’s background as a business man somehow made him qualified to be president. I don’t like to attack people as “dumb,” but, frankly, people who think that being a business man means you’ve got some acumen for social economics are, well, not…

those are good points. I hope I didn’t seem like I wouldn’t understand why he would take the role. . . . just that I wish I could see him in bigger, better roles. Then again, I couldn’t figure out why Kristin Wigg was in that movie either. A waste of both their talents.

I love the lady. But, as I’ve posted before, I think the major problem here is that she keeps staring in David O. Russell films. He’s the one who’s casting her in these more mature roles. And the tone of these roles is just—well—too damn consistent. I think it would be a good career move for her to move beyond O.…

When I saw him in that movie, I was pissed. It’s like, Here’s this AMAZING break-through star who killed it as a lead in a major recent movie—and THIS ROLE IS WHAT HE GETS?

I love her and think she’s a great actress. But, I’m also like, REALLY? I think one of the biggest problems is that she has been nominated for three roles in films by the SAME DIRECTOR. I just don’t think that pushes her range, particularly, and she seems to be giving similar performances (I haven’t seen Joy…

This is amazing. And reminded me of the absolute thrill I felt when I first heard Minaj start rapping in Monster. I had never heard of her before, and I was like. . . .whooooah. . . . .This Woman.

She’s obviously a talented writer. . . . . from Breaking Bad. But has anyone SEEN Flesh and Bone? It was TERRIBLE. I still watched it like candy though. If only for the intro w/ Karen Oh moaning through “Obsession.”

Have you read The God of Small Things?

I think her boobs look fantastic. . . . it’s possible that the top doesn’t fit her fight and throws the perspective off? That top is awful.

She does look lovely. . . . .but I’m not sure this looks entirely like her? I wouldn’t have recognized her right off the bat. In any case, she is beautiful on the screen and beautiful here.

AND WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THIS, in which Carly Fiorina eats a milkbone, tells a dog, “Obama ate your cousin,” and seriously marginalizes all of the cat-lovers in the electorate.

This makes no sense. If you made a joke about Bill Cosby’s race it would be automatically racist. Dude does not understand the nature of discrimination. At all.

I lived in Europe 2002-2005 (2003 + 2004 were the WORST) and tried so hard to avoid any questions about my nationality. And, when I was asked, I was like, “Uh. . . . . Alaska. . . . .” (this was pre-Palin when Alaska still sounded exotic to some). When I travelled there in 2009. . . . . . .I actually, for the first…

I remember when he first spoke after winning in 2008. This is going to sound cheesy as hell—but after 8 years of GW—I just felt filled with light. He was so eloquent—and seems to have such a strong moral core. What I respect about him is that he has always been honest about the complexities of things. Whereas other…
