Ask Tulsi Gabbard and Dennis Kucinich.

Seriously - when I was in elementary school (35 years ago), they had super-annoying toilet paper holders to stop that from happening - at one it was a weird oval shape that caught and only let you take a little at a time (more if you could figure out how to pull in just the right way), and another it was a flat toilet…

or is it just the one kid everybody agrees isn’t going to amount to anything anyway?

Wasn’t Steve Forbes pushing the postcard tax return thing in the 90s?

Oh, yeah, I forgot mine doesn’t like soda! She doesn’t like the carbonation. May she never start mainlining Coke Zero (Sugar, now) like her mother.

Well, and, just to add another flavor of misogyny, I feel like there’s that undercurrent where part of being a wife is taking over for that man’s mother, and keeping him in line - I’ve seen more anger directed at Hillary Clinton for the way she allegedly treated women whom Bill harassed than at him for doing the…

Being as DC also lacks representation in Congress and would like statehood, I think we can promise to put them up for their stay and help with torch, pitchfork, tar, and feather acquisition.

DAMN. And that dude is in DALLAS.

I think there’s a lot of that which, combined with a dash of low-level, passive misogyny (or straight-up Clinton-family-hating) that led to a lot of not-well-considered votes for Trump.

I work with a Federal agency, and, just.... are you feeling sort of constantly demoralized? This particular report makes me want to throw up, too.

I mean, it’s possible they have an understanding? 1+1=3 could mean, just because there’s another woman doesn’t mean he’s cheating and I don’t know about it, mind your own business.

The American spirit of individualism is largely one of the products of the Enlightenment philosophy so important to its founding. Unfortunately, when you start with that while building the country on the backs of free, forced labor, it’s pretty much a long legacy of cognitive dissonance.

That was a hell of a twist ending.

Maybe her dumb kid just literally doesn’t know what the term “racial slur” means. You know there’s a reason she didn’t ask flat out if he said what it was reported he said.

I think there are so many layers to this psychology. On the one hand, they will complain that the government doesn’t work. They will complain about being taxed. They will complain about “Washington” not “fixing” things - but when there’s a suggestion of government involvement in major changes (see: health care), then…

I think the Bush-Obama-Trump progression is telling. I think this is someone who will persistently vote for “change,” because, in their mind, “change” for the country inevitably means “good change” - like suddenly they’ll get rich and stop being temporarily embarrassed millionaires. (Not to say they’d vote for any…

What’s that old camp song?

Same. Anything with a plastic/silicone built-in straw is water-only. I’ve passed the time of washing breast milk out of pump parts and baby bottles, and it was gross. I put the thermos and the removable straw in the dishwasher, and wash the top by hand, but no milk, ever (and once again thank you whatever higher power…

I went out on a date with a guy who had majored in film and mentioned that on his profile (and we were in our mid-to-late 20s, so not that much after college). On the date, I asked him about what movies he liked to watch - he couldn’t really come up with an answer. I asked him if he owned any favorites (this was…
