So when does it become OK to criticize the industry without being ‘sex-negative’ - because, you know, I can hate on Big Pharma, but still feel like medicines are a very necessary, positive and helpful thing.

My 5 year old may have gotten close to this with some heavy guidance reminding him about things like pupils, eyelashes, and an example where they are walked through doing the neck, shoulders and what-not, but it he would need a LOT of support. There would need to be an example that he was copying and I don’t think his…

No, it’s not the question that is the problem, its that if the answer is no, I’m a girl, the other player doesn't knock down half only 5 are left standing. Because girl is a characteristic, there are only 5 girls in the game.

It still kills me that being female is a characteristic and being a white male is the default. I found that terribly unjust as a kid, because I always wanted to be a girl, but strategically it was a shitty choice, because the first question usually was ‘Are you a boy?’ - at least in my house. I play with my kids these…

Well here in Sweden, the companies do not pay for the leave, the government does. Most companies top up the leave and offer the 20% gap (gov pays 80%) for 6 months. So technically Spotify is giving its US workers more than it gives its Swedish ones.

Really? Both my husband and I have our own hobbies and careers. We both do sports that are co-ed, and sometimes that means we end up going out for drinks with people of the opposite sex, or hanging out at their homes. It’s fun and fine. I think it happens more often then you think

What? Is this 1950? Do people really not socialize alone after marriage? I just had my 10 year anniversary and have hung out with my male friends and colleagues at their houses and my own without my spouse without realizing this was taboo in any way shape or form. And yes, my husband hangs out with his female friends…

This. I got so sick of this BS even though I do have a rather helpful partner that I said enough and signed up for training in my favorite sport once a week, because I was tired of always asking to take some time for myself while my partner takes multiple evenings to do his own sports. Once, when my partner asked his…

Your child will forever feel unloved, but at least you saved a bundle. — at least that is what absurd new parent marketing will try to make you feel.

You have obviously never been shopping for modern Scandinavian designed baby goods. IKEA is dirt cheap compared to this insane stuff. A basic toy car can cost you over 100 dollars. I love my IKEA crib, only because I’d need to take out another mortgage for the Stokke one.

Sorry, I got Kinjad

I saw it on an airplane. It worked well in that environment - expectations tend to run low.

No, but I just checked it out and have ordered it because it sounds amazing, thanks for the heads up.

Am I the only one who just can’t do this because 9/11? I mean, I saw man on a wire and thought it was breathtaking, but the idea of watching a remake so I can experience this in 3D when so many people were forced to leap into that abyss instead of having the average workday they expected, it is a completely different…

Meh, they don’t often take the puke bags and there is no place to discard them that is remotely sanitary. That is the nasty part.

Yes, this happened to us once when I was a kid a my brother got sick on a flight. My parents tried to find a place to throw the bag out and everyone refused to help them. So yes, we were those people. My father came back a few minutes later and basically was just like ‘well, since they wouldn’t take it from me, I made…

I started singing ‘jackamuh feenahnay My grandma & your grandma sittin by the fire.... ’

Whatever Rush. Nothing will top how we took a black Nigerian baby and made him president... bwahahahahahhahahahahha (that’s my evil laugh)

I work in corporate training and the absolute hardest part for me was learning to take the criticism. But as I am often an external consultant, going around to different companies there is a LOT of feedback. It has taken me a long time to learn to digest it, as it comes from so many different people there are often…

I don’t mind spiders per se, but the big ones do put me off when they catch me by surprise. I usually just capture them and release them outside after my kids and I take a closer look and try to identify them, but this season the spiders here are gigantic. They keep emerging from underneath my sofa and I have a moment…
