One of the more interesting things I've discovered as I've grown up is that, when we're with our parents, my brother and I are arch-nemeses. We can't even be in the same room together without starting a fight (I'm 25 and he's 27 with a wife and a kid on the way, so we should be past this, but whatever)

Regular or cool ranch? Because I teach high school and we keep chips in our deks for kids, but they never get the cool ranch Doritos because the entire hall pulls them and puts them in a file cabinet drawer in Ms. Collins' room and all the teachers sit in there and eat them after school once the kids are gone.

And, just, you know, kids are people. Not fully developed people, but even dogs know to come inside when it rains and to stay with their person.

Once my brother was old enough to work the microwave, lock the door, and call 911 my parents were like "Sweet! no more babysitters!"

People love to self-righteously interfere. When I was a kid our weekend ritual was to take out our boat and ride down to a little spring, drop anchor and lay around in the sun all day.

But that's one question:

I was listening to this week's Bugle (amazing podcast) about Charlie Hebdo and John Oliver said "Why would people do this? Well, because they're assholes."

That kid had a reputation as a bit of an asshole so it could conceivably have had pot, but I only got one bite of it so I don't really know.

No. No teacher "has it coming" when students try to murder her with hand sanitizer.

NEVER EAT ANYTHING A CHILD GIVES YOU. NEVER EVER EVER.

She could have been shady. If I were her, I would have posted one of the photos for #tbt with only the hashtag.

Gotta be southern. Southern Shade is fucking brutal.

I always got the impression from her that she was a little more shy of the spotlight- wants to do her job as an actress and live her life as a person- and she probably knows that whatever she says will just thrust her into the middle of it.

If I were a celebrity, every time there was a rumor about me banging a hot guy I would send out a press release like "YES. YES I FUCKED CHRIS EVANS AND IT WAS GODDAMN AMAZING AND I WOULD GLADLY DO IT AGAIN. CALL ME, CHRIS."

THIS^^^^

I love my boyfriend- but every time any feminist issue comes up and I start ranting, if he even looks like he's going to speak I just point and yell: "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, I'M SPEAKING RIGHT NOW."

You know what's terrifying too? Abuse cases that involve men forcing their wives/girlfriends to get or stay pregnant as a method of control. That's also not covered.

One of my favorite lines from The West Wing was Josh arguing with a Republican about fictional DOMA, and he said "Republicans want small government, just small enough that it fits in our bedrooms."

I agree with you that there's a lower threshold of privacy expectations, but where it comes in for me is that these were stolen emails.
