If the Queen is wise, she’ll be taking steps to end the monarchy soon and on her terms. She really should be the last monarch because anyone that comes after her will never fill her shoes. Read more

What we learned is that many White people lied. We have learned that many Americans, our neighbors, our cousins, our friends, so called “allies”, “suburban moms”, “moderates”, “independents” are lying cowards who lie to gullible pollsters. The dishonesty and the cowardice is very much on brand for those that don’t have… Read more

everyone in the replies taking this super seriously and shaming you for not doing your homework probably a decade ago is sending me lol

Unrelated question from a Gen Xer. Read more

Do you honestly expect me to click on all of those links? 

I’m an adoptive parent and we’ve always referred to it that day, as do many adoptive families I know. It’s just a fun way to describe the way we finally met our son and he became ours in our hearts (even though legally that didn’t happen for another year).

Agree. This phrasing seems to be very common now in families formed through adoption. 

From folk’s comments it certainly seems to be a term that adopted folks or adoptive families either take to or not. It would definitely not fly for my sister, but others seem to find it endearing. 

I agree with this. My family includes loads of adopted kids. In fact, out of 4, I’m the only “bio kid.” I have adopted cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and a nephew.

The performance, the tears, ick! It’s so gross. Read more

Fuck, can we get someone to ban these fucking whole-screen intrusive ads that pop up? As much as I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I don’t want intrusive advertising. Trying to do my part by not blocking ads here but it’s getting difficult not to go back.....

I thought Chrissy seemed sincerely hurt. It probably sucks to see in print that a person you like and respect and publicly championed, does not feel the same way, and thinks so little of you that they keep publicly saying so unprompted. I know very little of Tiegen, but is she so insufferable that it’s crazy to assume… Read more

Andy is insufferable and I can barely listen to the podcast anymore. The mansplaining thing is tiresome. 

I’m sorry, maybe I’m not reading the statement correctly and I don’t get that this is sarcasm, but this is just not true. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence. Read more

Yeah, tell me this; without the existance of a rental option, would any of these people be able to buy land on their own? The writter seems to think that landlords are still the rich entitled lords that basically turned serfs into renters. This is, however the 21st, not 18th century, and if someone wants to invest… Read more

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same. Read more

It can. Sometimes a partner is the one who advocates for the mom or identifies an emergency situation. Plus, this hospital encourages rooming-in which, even on their website, requires a support person to help with the baby. Studies show rooming in can lead to infant injuries because the mothers fall asleep nursing and… Read more

Yeah no, the primary is not over, I don’t need the residents of Iowa and New Hampshire speaking for me.

Seriously? He literally has a heart condition and is almost an octogenarian. If he was your father, grandfather etc and you cared about him would you want him to have the most stressful job in the world? Yet those who love him are cool with that because Us means him and/or whoever he decides to have as a running mate. … Read more
