As Anton R. Shreve said better than I could, player #456 is a “lovable fuckup degenerate gambler.” He’s not really thrilling a character and ultimately learns nothing. I guess what I’m saying is it’s a good time for underwhelming TV. Queen’s Gambit, included.

And ...

Having seen all of Squid Game, I don’t get the hype. It’s fine. The ending sucked (I won’t reveal spoilers). Teigen is far from the first person to not understand that the themes of the series are meant to horrify you. One of my friends on FB is trying to find a perfect match for the #456 jacket for their kid. Like,…

Good question. I’m not a labor expert but I’m not optimistic. One thing that has changed is women’s participation in the workforce has exploded in the last 40+ years. So it’s become harder to pull off that shit, but obviously not impossible.

Won’t someone please think of the property that will be harmed if Rittenhouse walks?!

Had I seen one, I would have reported it to the manager. But as we saw in the McDonald’s case, they aren’t really prepared to handle that issue. It needs to be taken out of their hands.

If you see a grown employee behaving at all inappropriately with a 14 year old and don’t fire them immediately, what the fuck are you doing??

Once I was at a restaurant that had a young hostess, she was likely barely 16 (it’s often an entry level job for someone new to work). As we were eating I saw another employee…

After having both, Stovetop is the one for me. 

“...I don’t need Jada or anyone else to validate me.”

The inflammation response is especially brutal for pregnant people because they already have a lot of stress on their circulatory system and kidneys. It’s a goddamn nightmare.

The only thing I’ll say about that whole relationship thing is that Olivia Munn better get her pregnant ass vaccinated. And if she worries it’s the wrong choice, she can reach out to ICU nurses who keep pregnant patients alive by machine until they can deliver the baby and let them die in peace.

My husband thought it might be the switch (when you open the door the spring turns the light on, when you close the door the light turns off and the dryer “knows” the door is closed), but he took it out and tested with a multimeter, it’s working fine. Beyond that he doesn’t really want to take it apart for fear of…

Yes! Think of the children! Also I hate pretending things aren’t the way they are because it makes people sad. Time is what it is. We should stop messing with it.

Whirly pop? I love mine. 

Hello, SNS Lovelies. DST is stupid as fuck. My dryer is still broken. Thank the gods our neighbors are cool and are letting us use their dryer until it gets serviced. And today our septic system backed up/went full. I ran out of fingers counting all my blessings! J/k. It’s going to be fine. Just a little flustered.

Someone needs to hold these idiots down and read this. 

Oh yeah... In the last few years I’ve seen a lot of hostile comments about c-sections. What the fuck should we do? Let the parent die in labor to avoid disappointing the “natural birth” bitches on Facebook? 

I’m so sorry that happened to you! Super-duper-fuck the healthcare workers for not getting vaccinated. I was getting an eye exam around the time the vaccine was approved for healthcare/frontline workers. I said something to the assistant about how happy she must be to be eligible to get it, she made some comment to…

A lot of good points brought up in this whole thread back and forth. I see a lot of this pressure on pregnant people to do everything exactly right as a testament to how effective the anti-choice movement has been at controlling the conversation around pregnancy. Elevating the fetus over the person carrying it. In…

In response to the post that argues that Dorland pestered (the right word), people who didn’t like her Facebook posts about kidney donations...

My understanding is that part was misrepresented by the author of the article. According to Dorland, as admin of the Facebook group, she could see that Larson was reading every…
