Ed Sheeran you make no sense. Ricky Gervais' character in The Office did not have a dry sense of humor. He's more slapstick and overtly trying-to-be-funny guy than Steve Carrell ever was. Now Tim, as opposed to Jim, was very dry.

The Republicans and religious groups try to ban abortions, yes. But, they generally don't want to help/make it easy on mothers or children once the baby is born. They care about fetuses, not people.

OMG are you me? I could have written this comment verbatim.

The last two weeks I've seen the same guy smoke and then put out his butt on the ground in front of the train station. I finally started telling him he 'dropped his cigarette' or 'you littered back there'. It's risky, because I take the same train with him M-F, but I don't give a fuck. I'm sick of it. Bad enough…

I didn't say it was charitable; I comprehend that it's his job. But if you watch him and then you watch almost all other porn....it seems obvious to me that the man doesn't care at all if she's actually having fun. He might care how it looks, mostly he cares whether he gets off. I like James Deen because he really…

I don't even know who he is! Googling him next time I'm home alone.

I like his stuff because he actually wants the girl he's with to get pleasure out of the experience, not just look like she's getting pleasure. Her pleasure is something he wants to provide, rather than an accolade that reflects on his masculine prowess.

Yeah, sounds pretty similar. Of course, working moms and dads still put tons of pressure on their kids to be the football star/the A student. They just have less time to do it and other things on their minds.

Really? I haven't read it.

Students under parental pressure at Penn is the norm, so it's sort of hard to judge. I mostly remember 1 story about her mom approaching a PTA meeting with the same mindset as a trial attorney prepping for closing arguments.

I was in a creative writing class with a girl whose mom...might actually be one of these women in the article. The girl wrote every story about all the pressure her mom put on her. After all, Mom had given up an ambitious high-powered career to raise the daughter, so the daughter better turn out perfect or they both…

Yeah, I agree. I would not read a first edition if I owned one. I would buy a cheap paperback version to accompany it.

But you never feel lonely or empty after buying a book, because you can just read the book. So it's worth the money.

No. I haven't. As I've said three times now, it's how you use the word that is good or bad, not the word itself.

I'm not married, but that's just a terrible insult. I am terribly hurt.

Easy solution to this cycle. Be a book-shopaholic.

I didn't even bother with that Voodoo shark bullshit. It's just an excuse to get the same demographic that watches Swamp Fisherman or AxMen or all those other shows.

I do need to work on my posture, I won't lie about that.

cookie cutter sharks are so disgusting it makes me want to puke. Bleech.

It was pretty obviously fake, in my opinion. Anyone with healthy skepticism would scoff about 3 minutes in. Anyone who bothered to google the boat attack they were talking about would realize that it never happened.
