Insecure about his appearance? Notice he only laments about no longer being noticed by younger women. Not women in general, younger women. Coddling men in their late 40s who are lamenting no longer being attractive to young co-eds is never a good idea. “Happily married” or not, this sounds like a midlife crisis…

Californians can still refuse all they want. They just can’t enroll their kids in public schools. Public health is a perfectly well established reason for regulating participation in public goods. You cannot remotely compare it with your other examples.

I have a feeling both parents are probably nutso. It takes two to tango....but the only real victims are the kids and this judge doesn’t seem to have any sympathy for them. It’s sad.

I’m a family law attorney, and my office has been up in arms about this all week.

Dafuq? That the “father” is allowing his children to be imprisoned is the only proof I need that he is not worthy of the name. I’ve heard of some really bad decisions being made by some really bad judges but this may be among the absolute worst.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 happened. Since then, it’s been illegal to refuse service based on a customer having a characteristic that is part of a protected class. A few decades later, Oregon made sexual orientation a protected class.

“I always thought of myself as a brave lady, but the town - if you can call it that - of Colfax managed to pull out that last little bit of scared little girl out of me, tugging at my otherwise rock-solid composure like idle hands around a loose sweater thread.

In my naiveté, I thought I would stroll around Colfax…

Fire’s a troll. They derailed me on a vaccination post a month or so ago.

Some facts that need to be mentioned every time the case of this nitwit comes up:

It’s very frustrating. Measles laughs at santitation, and polio actually becomes *more* virulent once proper sewer systems and clean drinking water become available. But once you believe you are right about something, you evaluate all information based on that, and this prevents them from realizing that they’re wrong.

In the mornings, I have about half a mile trip along the beachfront. It’s a 2-lane road, not a freeway. I get a few seconds of zen, glancing at the waves as I drive. I was going the speed limit, but this guy zooms up right behind me and starts honking and flashing his lights and flipping me off. He was SO angry that I…

Calling shitty comedy satire is the main defense of shitty comedy

Are you shitting me?
He took a bunch of rape scenes and turned them into “huh huh boobs.” Feminist comentary my ass. I used to believe that too, then I realized we’ve been hearing the same misogynistic bullshit from him for decades, and none of it punches up, but it does punch boobs.

man imagine a party full of dudes who are incredibly defensive of Ted 2

the debate was had. you lost. by a score of roughly Sherman’s March to the Atlantic to nil. your flag commemorates hatred, treason, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of americans in the name of preserving white supremacy. Dylann Roof waved it knowing that you and the entirety of South Carolina stood behind him…

Do you normally call people who you don’t know, and hopefully interview, a bitch? That just seems counter-productive.

Sucks she wouldn’t do an interview. This probably didn’t help!

Imperfect relationships =/= toxic relationships. Every healthy relationship requires effort and compromise. But negotiating differences is not the same as enduring abuse. And yes, emotional manipulation is both a form of abuse and a hallmark of toxic relationships.

Sure. But a girl with daddy issues wants those things in excess.

If someone is doing toxic things to you in a relationship the only advice you need is : LEAVE.
