All I picture is:

Motivated enough to consume your own placenta, yet too lazy to make it oneself. I have a hard time picturing the intersection of this particular Venn diagram.

Oh damn it. Blame Guinness or maternal instinct, but I actually feel bad for Bieber. I think he's a fool, but it makes me sad to picture him crying on the ride home.

... Did Raven just say that the First Lady looks like an ape?!

You do work with truly awful people. I've worked with a ton of pregnant women and all have performed at or above their usual level.

She knows here you can't fire a pregnant woman, so she is using it like crazy.

If you really believe that women should plan their pregnancies around work projects, you should rethink your priorities. That's just wrong.

I hear that that must have been a frustrating experience for you, but it sounds very much like not the pregnant woman's fault - it's the fault of a company that thought in that situation they should give one guy two full time jobs instead of hiring a competent replacement during the maternity leave that it sounds like…

US employment law requires "reasonable" accommodations. You'd need a lawyer to backstop you, but yes, there are times it's OK to fire a pregnant worker - if the pregnancy is a threat to herself or others, and there is no other job you can reassign her to.

For me, I will admit that I absolutely do judge when other women use 'pregnancy brain' as an excuse for being a moron in a professional setting or not getting their work done. It makes all of us look bad, pregnant or not. For every woman that just keeps her head down and does her thing while pregnant, it seems like…

I feel so bad saying this but I agree with you. I was pregnant at work, restaurant manager, 6 days off a month and 50-55 hour weeks. Never missed a day, no morning sickness, no snowflakeyness. I still had to put the damned trucks away. And my water broke at work in the kitchen for God's sake.

Sounds like your co-worker is a crap employee and your boss is a crap boss. That sucks, for sure.

My boss has treated me like a mentally challenged invalid since I told her I was pregnant. And over-shared about her own fertility problems. And made jokes like that my opinions about her proposed color scheme for the new meeting room can't be trusted because I'm pregnant. Fuck off

Not a single one of 'em looks like Christopher Plummer. Sad face.

I've started seeing a new guy and he is amazing and we're brilliant together. Which means I am now living in a state of perpetual fear that he's going to dump me. Does anyone else always feel this way in a relationship, and how can I make it go away and just relax and enjoy?

Yeah, the show makes fun of white people a TON.

I'm going to chime in here and say that in modern TV, we don't have a lot of distinct asian leads, but we have enough "asian" diversity casting that primarily focuses on american-born asian characters that don't comment on racial history that I think it's actually rare to see a main asian cast member that deals with…

I think there's criticisms to be had, but I think the show does try to subvert some of these stereotypes. Dong, though good at math (which the show addresses as a stereotype, but true in this case), is also super kind, funny, and a romantic interest. I think that's a huge deal—the only other Asian male love interest…

And if I can speak for (thankfully former) self-medicating messes, this show is very life-affirming. Even if you don't have Kimmy's sunny disposition, or determination or tenacity, you recognize her as a fellow survivor—it's very satisfying. Titus has these qualities as well, that's why their weird dynamic is so…

Exactly. And sometimes that Type A gumption is a mask to avoid processing the darker stuff, which I think we absolutely see with Kimmie. She's so determined to not be defined by what happened to her that she's still not fully grappled with it, and you see that come through a lot, particularly in the later episodes.
