Wow. With your charm and strong renunciation of gender stereotypes, it's such a surprise!

This is the best rant ever. I love the "correct and vehement responses to obtuse and irritating statements" format.

They are really only cute as babies. Once they get to be more than, say, 25cm long, the hell beast transformation takes place rather quickly. I know this from observing an orphaned (but self-sufficient) pair grow up in my yard. The larger and sleeker breeding females can be somewhat okay-ish, but the scrawny and often…

I like people's babies well enough that when parents are "testing the waters" by pushing the stroller just a little bit out into traffic at an intersection, I wish they would not do that because it's dangerous to the baby. But, seriously, a stroller is not a magical time/space machine that pushes away all obstacles,…

And this is exactly why I have now hearted you: our mutual hatred of ridiculous bootstrapism.

Hearted.

It really bothers me when Jezebel, specifically, reinforces this error.

A spading fork has straight prongs; a pitchfork is curved, so you can, you know, scoop stuff up and pitch it. The number of prongs varies.

Oh, he is SO SNEAKY!

I think some of it is genre preference. If I read ye olde lit., then I'm going to have Wharton and Cather and Gaskell and Austen and some Bronte along with my Dickens. If I'm reading mysteries, then, yes, I'm going to end up with James and George along with my Reginald Hill. If I'm reading post-apocalyptic fiction,…

Your last line made me actually laugh out loud, which I describe as "lauling." Also, hearted.

"For whatever reason." Yeah, it's a MYSTERY why these pundits criticize everything he does. Can you imagine how many lids would have been flipped if he had something on there by a MUSLIM??? *clutches pearls*

As far as I can tell, he has not attempted to get any books banned from schools, so I think he can read whatever the hell he wants.

I agree.

Yes. Hearted.

Not all activities that result in a sex crime conviction are, in my opinion, worthy of the name "sex crime." For example, streaking, public urination, selling or owning a vibrator, being a sex worker. In addition, there are these pesky things called mistaken convictions. So, guess what? If you are convicted of a sex…

Thank you for making this argument. Peeing in public can, indeed, brand one for life as a sex offender (which I find Totally High unless the person is peeing in public repeatedly, in front of people on purpose, and as some sort of act of sexual aggression), and excluding these offenders from dating sites seems…

Okay, shy bladder, I do believe you. But I do not believe that such a problem accounts for the entirety of this still-mystifying phenomenon.

I'm with you. If it takes more than a minute, you sat down too soon. Or you need a more robust strategy for your "alone time."

Like Haitians? Will what's-his-dude conservative tv asshole tell us all about it?
