We should instantly become roommates in Miami and eat lots of cheesecake because I don't get it either. Although I will acknowledge that purplish blue hair is a 1/2 step above that terrible gray-purple hair.

fuck spiders. everybody's all Spiders are our friends! They eat bugs! What's a spider eat? Two or three a DAY? A bat can eat 2000. BATS are our friends.

Spiders rule, screw all y'all!

But in Seattle? Here even a house like that would go for seven bazillion dollars.

That's part of what makes them terrible. You have to book it away and to higher ground to get away.

I mean, they're sort of alarming when they seem to come out of nowhere. But I don't get the extreme fear.

Ungrateful bastard.

Oh my god spend five minutes on tumblr. There are SO SO many female comic fans, and even more fans of the Marvel cinematic universe. People connected with the Captain America movies and the Avengers in particular because women got to actually do things. I hope it bodes well for the future that these two franchises are…

Other people have already made good points but I have to wonder, have you ever worked at a fast food place? You're on your feet the whole time, often without a break. The work is as repetitive as it can get, and someone is shouting an order in your ear while you're trying to assemble a different order in a matter of…

Sure it is. My childhood was unsupervised. I was basically pushed out the door and told to be home when the street lights came on.

Jesus Christ. When I was a kid during the summer, the only time I saw my parents was when I came home for dinner. We'd play outside, unsupervised for WEEKS! Fucking busy bodies need go find a hobby.

Oh my word. If someone had to speak to my son about his behavior, I not only would TOTALLY REINFORCE WHAT SHE SAID, I would be mortified that I wasn't paying attention and apologize to her that she had to speak up. What is wrong with people?

Oh man, we had several spoons that were the "bad spoons" (they were somewhat thinner and kind of cut into your fingers if you squeezed them unreasonably hard) and one spoon that was "the pretty spoon" (it had a rosebud on it). Which ever of us set the table would give themselves the pretty spoon and punish the other…

"I cried for that dumb glass: the story of Irish Twins, an older sister, and Scooby-Doo drinkware"

I used to work at a library and it boggled me how angry some people would get if you dared ask their kids to be quieter/not jump off the stairs/not climb bookcases. Not all parents, not even most, but every once in a while...

ummmmm not to hate but omg. No why. I work in education and lemme tell you it's very difficult to work with kids who are used to having their parents accommodate them like that. I'm not saying it's not sweet to do nice things but when I have 25 kids in my class I can't do the same

That's common sense. Get the fuck out of here.

1 ACTUAL Reason Modern-Day Parenting Is In Crisis

I think the standard should be, "If an adult made this request or stated this preference, would you honor it?" For instance, most adults have a few foods that they don't like to eat, and that is reasonable. If I were cooking for someone who hated mushrooms, I would be happy to avoid mushrooms to please them. …
