Melania always looks sedated and unhappy. She sincerely has looked like that since I first saw her on The Apprentice (Opening credits?). It’s sincerely not a dig on her beauty, just the affect.

This is the continuation of abuse. Abuse and groom to create more opportunities to abuse. There are so many ways in which men abuse women that it’s hard to keep up with. And if you taught all this to women in their teens, none of them would ever choose to interact with a man. It is impossible to go about your day…

Nowhere does it say that the monetary exchange was negotiated ahead of time. So it’s not a transaction. You say she held fake jobs, which doesn’t seem to pan out either. She may have been installed and protected but she still had to do the work.

Death by a million lies.

BaneKitty, I think airlines should have a row (or section) for unaccompanied minors close to the attendants and no single adult (all genders) should be allowed to sit with them. Obviously, attendants will have to monitor the kids for different reasons but it would be more appropriate. I traveled as an unaccompanied…

It is interesting that there is are petitions to pardon Joe Walsh and Prosecute Joe Walsh over this. Let’s just ‘petition watch’.

There was a program in my area when I was growing up called Parent-Secours and it was founded 40 years ago. It’s a network of parents who can welcome any kid at any time. They have a front window decal. It’s not as prevalent today because people don’t let their kids out of the house... But it’s a super simple thing to…

You people still have no clue about this magical Hollywood machine called a

I was once shouted down by MRAs who said that an Airline Company’s policy to avoid sitting unaccompanied minors next to male travelers was the worst thing that ever happened to the menz. And the only reference I could find about this is that, Yes, it is a actual policy! However, at least one man has sued an airline…

It’s fraud. You can compare this to the process of swindling divorcees on dating sites in order to steal their home or life savings. The police will not take down a statement for the process of ‘romantic fraud’ but the subsequent theft will be considered a crime. But this type of egregious consent violation is a…

Finding love requires being open to it. If you believe this it may repel a potential mate. Fiercely being yourself doing things that make you happy however, puts you in the line of sight of potential mates.

I only date nerds but... that Silicon Valley joke is true... why would I ever bet on a young guy who has aged 20 years for each job he has been abused in since he was 21. And that is after spending a decade in their bedroom on the computer watching porn. Of course I've also aged twenty years working in startups...…

I grew up with a mom who would tell me constantly she regretted having me... and I am adopted! So I consider myself twice-orphaned now :) I do not AT ALL regret having a daughter because I waited until I was 30. I admit, it is great to be related and look like another human being but I am limiting myself to ONE kid…

The marketing-driven fetishization of babies is ridiculous. Absence of education about sexuality, parenthood and relationships in school coupled with the aversion we have to teach our children about economy and money can only mean generations and generations of unhappy parents. We may just have passed peak parenthood!

Hi JuniperLavendar,
It's taken all this time for me to notice your message. The choice is the woman's, I am sorry I did make it sound like the healtcare provider was more important in the equation! In my case, I may not have continued my pregnancy if the doctor had a way of knowing the disaster that was happening to…

(( hug ))

That is wonderful.

Since the righ wind pundits have to preach the opposite of anything Obama says then he should double the efforts and continue on with these reasonable stats/fact-based statements !

When I used to program in VB for IIS, I would run a server on my desktop and build web spiders and file scripts for both Web and personal use. However, I would never suggest that anyone choose Windows if they can avoid it. It's easy to set up locally but once you go to the Web it costs 10X more to host. I finally let…

Years ago when I got an unmanaged virtual private server (barely 20$/m. at linode.com) I used vpsbible.com for a step-by-step tutorial on building it securely. It's by this funny sounding guy in Australia named The Guvnr. I still use this method as a checklist when deploying VPS for others and it's been 5 years with…
