Mortality? Probably not. But there are tons of studies on how the presence of a partner can reduce anxiety. And lots of studies about how anxiety can hinder childbirth. And about how having an advocate can reduce the use of unnecessary measures that introduce other complications. It’s a difficult thing to prove and I…

Not me but something my mother did:
I lived in a remote spot of California growing up. One day on the way to school, we saw the neighbor who lived in the “weird” house walking to town with a suitcase, her dog, and a puffy, red face. Without hesitation, my mom whipped the car over, sternly said “Keep walking, I’m coming…

I like Pete Davidson. I think he’s cute and funny. I don’t know if the rigorous structure of SNL is right for him, and I have no idea if he has any input on what gets written for him or if he writes his own stuff.

This is how I feel about Californication. It was all about how these 20 something women wanted to fuck a 50 year old with subpar writing skills.

I never liked that show; it always looked like wish fulfillment for some middle aged man.  Like we haven’t seen that trope over and over and over again.

That last story - I don’t mean to be rude to you, but while it’s clear your family members suck, it also sounds like you had every opportunity to say no. I truly don’t understand how this shit happens to people. If you don’t feel comfortable saying no, just make an excuse to leave. Or better yet, don’t make an…

Unlikable to men

Amazing that you don't see the irony in your comment.

“all I was doing was giving my daughter a fair shot”

A couple of years ago I ran through a string (3) of men that were unable to drive front facing into a parking slot. They backed into every slot. I questioned them and they said the same thing, “Makes for a quick get away.” All three turned out to be obsessive control freaks. Now if a man backs in, even one time, he’s…

Same reason everyone in the 4th grade hated me. I was better than all them bitches. 

Leo “reached for his vaporizer and a pair of noise-canceling headphones, laid back and closed his eyes and signaled for her to keep going.”

Ehhh...Black woman here. With some exceptions, of course, current mainstream hip-hop is incredibly materialist and misogynistic, as is lots of pop music (mainstream hip-hop IS, in fact, pop music). I get that as a “privileged White woman” it’s not kosher to state publicly that you don’t like mainstream hip-hop but…

I wish it had been an Always Sunny Dick Towel!

I had a summer job EDITING A PHONE BOOK. I was given a printed stack about 18" tall, 10 pt font, of requested edits and flagged formatting errors in the previous year’s version, then I used extremely janky software to fix it.

Eisenstein once did a sequence where he took a single shot of a man with a neutral expression, and intercut it with shots of a baby, a meal, and a dead body. Viewers raved about the actor’s subtle power to portray the emotions of love, hunger, and grief.

Yeah we do. Clint Eastwood, Ryan Gosling and Clive Owen based their career on this. They’ve mostly started with brooding looks and we ascribe them depth and intelligence. I don’t have a prob with that though, they make food films.

To be fair, “hot with a limited range” is often exactly what a role calls for.

Which is I don’t understand Tom Cruise isn’t on this list.

I won’t even travel across a king size bed for sex. You roll to me.
