To Lady With Child-Obsessed Friend: dump her. Think back—is this selfishness really new for her, or has she pulled this kinda crap before? (I’m betting the latter.) Her entire self-worth is wrapped up in being a mother, and that leaves no room for anyone else. It’s a good bet she’s never going to get better, because…

As a 12 stepper myself in one of the S programs, Jane’s advice is right on. There’s a reason they tell you to work the steps in order, you’re not really going to know how to do step 9 without doing 1-8 first. Have faith that the “higher power” aspect will reveal the right thing to do in the course of your step work.

One thing it took me a long time to learn in my 20s was that I don’t even actually WANT to be friends with a lot of people I used to know. They’re fine people, but their lifestyles diverged from mine and it turns out that simply living down the hall from someone for a year in college isn’t enough to sustain a…

So physical, but not psychological, danger counts? Because as a bipolar person who knows without a doubt that another pregnancy and subsequent bout of postpartum depression would kill me, fuck all those guys. Just...fuck this.

Let this be a reminder that unlike what certain self described progressives say, we absolutely cannot compromise and allow antiabortion people on the Democratic ticket in an effort to win seats.

As a pregnant woman (14 weeks)... I have an amniocentesis scheduled Monday because of a genetic test I took - I screened that either my baby or my placenta or myself might have Turner Syndrome (or I lost a chromosome).

I disagree. Many people do think our society is irretrievably entrenched, incapable of evolving. The internet certainly makes it seem so. Often times it’s loudest voices are past redemption.

“Hyper sensitive”?

You don’t find Jared attractive???

I can’t recall why it came up but I recently told someone “I would lay down in traffic for Drew Magary.” They seemed so surprised but I was like, “Yeah no Drew is a thoughtful and generous person and I would do anything for him.” Thanks for writing this, Drew, and proving me right. (I love being right!)

She’s not bad in a basic blonde with fake boobs and a nose job kinda way.

I read that as “I’ve had sex WITH three of those artists” and now I’m vaguely disappointed.

The football talk just seems so insignificant and out of place after that intro.

Oh, there are plenty of straight men who would fuck Ivanka.

I swear to God I know a Greg that looks almost exactly like this I’m fucking dyyyiiiing

Excellent intro, Drew.

I met a kid named tayden the other day. Is he ever gonna get laid by anyone who’s not named McBraylynn?

Sorry but “Jared” should not be in the same sentence as any form of coitus.

It’s funny. I was just thinking the other day that in some ways we’re losing touch with mortality. This was specifically in regards to the gizmodo article about DIY immunotherapy and everyone in that article was just focused on extending life without thinking about the inevitable. And how there’s this whole toxic…

Blame Cheney and co all you like, but W, “the decided,” signed off on all of it: wars that killed nearly a million people for no discernible gain to anyone but the contractors, opening a torture/concentration camp in illegally held territory, muscling in the Patriot Act, abandoning New Orleans, etc. He may not have…
