I don’t believe there are no averages, I just don’t think those averages matter all that much. Like, I remember reading that the average male IQ is 3 points higher than the average female IQ. True? Maybe, but what is anyone going to do with 3 IQ points? And how does that information matter when I’m dealing with a…

Kids very often take after family members, and families often express love, affection and closeness by discussing it with each other. I have no clue why you would feel the need to make a nasty comment about it.

I’m sure not. I’m not going to them for any reason. But he’s the one who claimed it was accurate. 

That video was so flipping annoying. 

I still don’t see why gender matters. You can give your son the toys he likes because he likes them, even without taking gender into account.

That video really annoyed me, especially the whole arc of it. I hate the implication that, yes, boys are so much trouble, but also more loving and affectionate.

I’m a big fawner over both my kids, but neither of them has ever expected it from a teacher. They know the difference between a teacher and a mother, and absolutely know it now that my younger child will be starting middle school soon.

I’ve often thought his whole career is nothing more than an elaborate excuse to be a white man who says the N word whenever the hell he wants. 

Normally, Dr. Pimple Popper is too much for me (I prefer Enilsa Brown), but I watched this one, and I’ve been worried sick about Gerald ever since. I’m so glad she found someone for him. 

Everyone has restrictions at work, but she has more freedom from restrictions than 99.99999% of the world. She can do whatever she wants, yes, and other people can have their own feelings about it. Please stop playing victim, Overprivileged McGee. It’s unseemly. 

Yeah, I generally hate assholes, and think of Naomi Campbell as one of them. But that wasn’t asshole-ish at all. 

Have you read The Grownups? It’s a short story of hers. I think I might have liked it even better than Sharp Objects. 

And why shouldn’t it be a primary source of income? It’s the most all-consuming job I can think of. Everyone else involved makes money off of it. Why shouldn’t the surrogate? 

Or any work, really. I’d wager the vast majority of people wouldn’t do their job if they didn’t need the money. 

It’s always infuriated me that the going rate for surrogacy seems so low. We can take issue with capitalism all we want, but it is the economic system we’re living under. It’s especially galling that so many people are uncomfortable with surrogates making money off their work. Everyone else involved - lawyers,…

That blond English guy was almost as manipulative and narcissistic as Puck. I forget his name. 

It wasn’t even communal, IIRC. It was Pedro’s, and he had a compromised immune system. Puck was disgusting and could have made Pedro very sick. 

I don’t understand why we’re always demanding opinions from the families and friends of criminals, famous or just plain infamous. It doesn’t and shouldn’t matter what they think. 

Yup. And they’ve been “shutting themselves off and not dealing with shit” for longer still. 

This.
