I don’t think he lived in the house but the question of where he was is valid—away or some kind of custody issue maybe? This article notes they are separated.

Other articles make it clear they are separated. The “dad” the neighbor mentioned is likely her new husband or boyfriend.

You don’t actually have to be licensed anywhere to have gone to law school. Some people go to law school and then never sit for a bar and do something else with their degree.

Tammy Duckworth is who I’m watching over the next few years. She might have what it takes to beat Trump, but we’ll see.

In fairness, though, how productive is the average comment section usually?

Not to be a pendant, but totally be a pendant, the religion in question is “jedi” rather than Star Wars. Or, a bit rarer, Sith.

I can only speak as someone that watched her mother go through a really rough divorce when I was a teenager. It was devastating for her at the time and for a few years after, but she made it through (having a hell of a divorce attorney helped) and is much happier for it. The divorce part was hard but ultimately my…

In fairness, though, I had an incredibly normal and common name, and I hated it, and for a long time I kind of resented my mom for giving it to me. At 31 I’ve long since got over that, but this is a hard one for parents to win on. Most people I knew growing up had some complaint about their name—either too common or…

While I think toxicity and automatically labeling minority-opinion holders as trolls can be an problem around here, I think this is a slightly different issue. As an observer of this saga from the grays over the past couple of days, I think the big issue for a lot of commenters is that IrisJK comments like this…

Why? Why are you putting in this much effort into proving some people out there agree with you?

My father did this to me when I was a kid (control issues, not money concerns) and the delay was enough for my arm to not heal quite right. It hasn’t had any deliterious effect on me physically long term, but I’ll point out that as an adult I don’t speak to my father anymore. There’s a number of reasons for that, but…

As a lawyer that graduated in 2010 at the top of my class and having worked on law review, but still struggled to find a paying job post-law school, I say with all sincerity: Get bent.

I don’t see where myjah said “that the absence of charges automatically verifies the truth of the accusations.” The point made was that just because charges aren’t brought doesn’t necessarily mean that the accusations aren’t true, which yeah, is true.

I think that was the joke. I hope anyway!

I think her military service is a huge advantage here, but President Obama is a natural-born US citizen and people questioned his nationality seemingly only because he is black and has a “funny” name.

I work for a very small company and we have a nursing room in our office, as well. It’s not that hard.

I learned to drive with a manual transmission, and I continued to drive manual until my saab shit the bed tragically and I was given an automatic as a hand me down. I’ve really missed driving manual, so when it was time for me to get a new car I did some research on the model car I wanted. Turned out, if I got the…

Really? I was thinking what a step up it was from the first! I never liked the original Outsider’s voice.

My eye started twitching involuntarily when I got to that part.

Then people needed to vote for Bernie in the primaries. In most states, you can’t vote in the primaries if you don’t actually enroll in the party. The majority of people actually enrolled in the party chose Clinton. If people actually want more liberal candidates coming out of the democratic party, they actually have…
