I'm constantly told I look like Minnie Driver, which is unfortunate because I think she looks like an ugly square-faced horse.

Gifs! Gifs! Gifs!

Agreed :)

These are amazemort (and by amazemort I mean shockingly hateful), thank you!

Sweet Valley High forever.

Yes, of course. But it's pretty easy to spot the parents who are ignoring the tantrum for good parenting reasons v. an inability to actually parent. But I'd also say a plane isn't the venue for a battle of wills.

I had a slightly less intense version of this reaction as well. It would be a "joke" on another forum maybe, or maybe if the content analyzed why that's a bullshit stance rather than affirming that her pregnancy is a real problem. But it's not and it doesn't.

I don't think people are upset that babies cry, I think people are annoyed when they are trapped with a baby (on a plane or a subway, etc.) who is screaming for an extended duration, and whose parents are either unwilling or unable to calm them.

I'd like to see Girls analyzed alongside the Mindy Project. The latter doesn't seem to offend anyone's sensibilities, but there's considerable overlap. Mindy is overweight and awkward, and aware of both, but they don't bother her, and don't prevent her from pursuing men (even if she sometimes thinks she isn't good…

WTF, LENA!? Who the fuck are you to worry about the impact that normalizing domestic violence has on the millions of young women who glorify the victim in question? There aren't even any black people on your show with a cast of 6!!!!!

Lilo, is that you?

My father has a stated policy of never apologizing, because it's a "sign of weakness." In our last conversation, I decided it was time to explain to him that apologies signify neither weakness nor an acknowledgement of willful malice—that sometimes they are necessary and appropriate. And because his recent actions…

Yeah. Having never read the books, I didn't know she was supposed to have read hair. Yet having never read the books, I know she didn't look like a soft-core tractor calendar model.
