Now you’re just bargaining.

I’m sure he’s still grieving his father, twice-over, really. The moment you find out that there’s more to someone than you thought (especially something like this), all the previous feelings you had for them don’t just vanish. They’re tainted and sullied, but all those feelings are still there. The nice and gentle…

I think that the believe that only “evil” people commit acts like this keeps victims from being believed actually.

What you are doing is illegal and you will face consequences for it eventually. 

... Or she knew she was better off losing money for a few months or years than to leave the job market and try to get back in once the kids were in school.

For me, it’s because I have dental issues and cold drinks hurt my teeth and gums. If I have a straw, I can prevent the liquid from hitting my teeth.

Really? Because I barely ever see styrofoam anymore and have definately noticed that it has been decreasing in use. Most restaurants around me serve takeout food in paper cartons, or more-recyclable plastic containers. The burger I got at the airport last night was served in compostable “egg crate” style paperboard…

I love period dramas/comedies.

Bezos, along with several of the other billionaire plutocrats that now own the entire planet, has forgotten (if he ever knew) a lesson that the kings of the last gilded age, even virulent social stratification bigots like Henry Ford eventually came to know:

Libertarians are obsessed with coercive state power yet oblivious to (or enamored of) coercive corporate power.

Helen wasn’t being a “horrible person”. She found out her husband has cancer and he’s telling her he won’t do anything about it, and she’s trying to do anything that might save his life. It’s almost like she loves him and doesn’t want him to die, who does she think she is?! Vik is the one being awful, demanding a…

Prediction: The “Crazy Avocado Girl” will become involved in the pregnancy plot, likely as a surrogate. That doesn’t mean I’m ruling out a possible lesbian angle too, between her and Helen.

It’s why voting is so important, and I think sometimes when we’re sitting in a beautiful studio in the middle of Manhattan, you forget what’s happening at the border.

“I think the possible major problem with Republicans is that they have this amazing tendency to fail upwards and so it reinforces the idea that they are the smartest people in the room.”

It also gives them a skewed perspective of difficulty. “I just put in the minimal amount of work and LOOK HOW SUCCESSFUL I AM! If…

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation, according to Ronald Reagan.

That’s because the GOP projects their goals as fears. They want to conquer the world, so they worry about protecting their sovereignty at any cost. They want to kill everyone, so they worry about losing the ability to defend themselves. They want to silence the voices they disagree with, so they scream about their…

Gerrymandering on steroids. Proper representation would be better served by fixing the imbalances of the Senate (hardest) and by tackling gerrymandering (hard) and implementing the Wyoming Rule (still hard).

Hi there. I live here.

Yea but at the end of the day this was bad policy. Because it wasn’t just going to be a tax on Amazon or a tax on Starbucks. There were a lot of other companies that are far less profitable that were going to get hit.

Basically, yes. Nothing ever comes out of an Ocean’s film other than “look at all these people working together fantastically and they are all friends this is wonderful.”
