My point exactly. A worthless service that just leeches from your circle of friends.

Bullshit. There is no company that actually wants you to not use their services.

Or you could just give them money and cut out the unrelated middle-man who looks to profit.

People who don't think a trip to X place is more than a culturally sanctioned incident of imperialism? Who takes these trips? Rich white people.

Since you are all on my registry, buy me things. Buy me lots of things. I need whisks from William-Sonoma. I need placemats from some unique German team. My marriage will be shit unless someone gives me these things.

"specific economics aside, no matter what a couple asks for as a wedding gift, you should shut right the hell up and give it to them."

Really? Then I'm the next Einstein.

The definition of "Teen"?

Seems you think 13 and 14 year olds CAN.

This is so sexist. There are so many female correspondents who are far more deserving of the honor.

You find a kind of sex (Teen sex) that routinely fails the test of being consensual to be the "best" kind of sex? May want to rethink that.

This is why shared parental leave is so damn important. My partner is the breadwinner (management, etc.) and I'm the homemaker... the idea of dealing with US maternity leave when what we really need is a shared parental leave actually makes us hesitate to have children since we're both scared of her getting…

Family leave that includes (even shared) time for both partners is necessary and has been shown to have a HUGE effect on post-pregnancy career retention and freedom of choice.

It falls apart when us non-conflict, non-negotiating "males" also end up with lower salaries as a result.

You didn't read the same book. They've been watching the show and pretending they read the books.

I've really come to a point where I feel like the TV show has surpassed the books and the tomes I spent months working through years and years ago will be completed in the visual medium.

Hell, I'm stay-at-home and I don't do elaborate meals more than a day or two a week. And when I do, it is because I want to try it out.

Calling Slender: The Arrival as anything other than a cash-in on other people's work is generous.

Goddamnit, just put it down already.

What's this about fancy, elaborate home meals? Who has the time anymore?
