That picture of Kylie looks like it was taken on the set of a graduation-themed porno shoot.

Temperature is just one more thing that the patriarchy controls. This is not about conditioning the air; it’s about conditioning the oppressed classes to accept the cheapest, most convenient, and easiest air that the ruling classes can provide. It is a result of capitalism: An effort to monetize the human condition…

why can’t we all be reasonable and leave it somewhere between those temps? Like 77 is too warm for me, 68 is too damn cold. A nice 74 would be perfect.

*except for you, Donald Trump. May I offer you a one-way plane ticket to Wyoming?

PLEASE STOP! Excellent advice!

I think there are three camps of “hard,” maybe - (a) petty annoyances that are just a function of living with someone for an extended period of time, that I think everyone goes through and most can get through, (b) fundamentally abusive behavior that shouldn’t be tolerated, and then major issues/difficulties that I…

But if you’re not married, you might wonder why everyone treats marriage like some horrible secret they have to tell everybody.

If it’s always hard or even usually hard, then one or both of you are probably doing something wrong.

Yeah it seems like the conventional wisdom about marriage, that people sooo love to write about is that 50% of the times its an awful struggle...maybe only people who aren’t happily married write about it?

I guess this is the part where I become utterly hateable, but my wife and I are deeply in love, and after 14 years of marriage, I think she’d agree with me that, while life is hard, our marriage has been the easiest part of it. And that’s with infertility, cancer, and parental disability thrown in. It’s the marriage…

As someone in a really “not great” period of marriage right now, I have to confess I hate hearing “Marriage is hard!” or “Marriage is work!” - how hard is it really supposed to be? How much work is too much work? I know all relationships are hard work - but at what point can you look at something and say “This is more…

Some people don’t think things are real unless they’re hard. They’re closet Calvinists perhaps?

Shit, this has me spooked. It’s hard? That’s a constant? I mean, yeah, we argue occasionally, because that’s life. But 10 years and one baby down, and I wouldn’t describe it as “hard.” Does this mean the other shoe is about to drop? Do I not have a “real” marriage? Is this all a farce and I’m going to find out about…

There’s always one in every group. And we need one. We need you, JujyMonkey up on that wall.

where’d he pee and poop?

Just last week I watched an episode of Border Security, and a couple with their kids were in the Niagara area I believe, and tried crossing over to visit a nice park they heard about on the Canadian side. Turns out they had handguns with them, and the mom kept hers in the diaper bag. They seemed genuinely confused…

I look forward to a fruitful and positive discussion in the comments...

I am one of the crazies who has a Sharknado party each year. The idea of criticizing the franchise is about as futile as criticizing the Sharktopus franchise, Megashark, Mechashark, Two (and Three) Headed Shark Attack (self-referential Asylum featured where GRRM gets killed) or any of the other plethora of Asylum or…
