I’ll refer you to my “Republicans are idiots” comment prior. That should answer most of your questions. Also, “end all be all” isn’t even in the ballpark of what I said about the free market.

Hopefully she can get it corrected without having to escalate. And hopefully the guy adjusts his behavior to avoid this stuff in the future. I’ve had very friendly professors in the past, but if someone is uncomfortable and they bring it up the friendliness needs to switch to pure professionalism immediately.

Doesn’t seem like a semi-joke advice column. In fact that’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say that’s what it is.

First prove to me that you exist. I refuse to help anyone who might not exist.

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Not “Creatures.”

I think a common sense approach, like the example you gave of talking with the dean, should be given a fair shot. I’ve advocated elsewhere for bringing it up to him in an email so there’s documentation she can present if things need escalation. I don’t think the first step should be trying to destroy his career, which…

Who are you “quoting” when you say “hysterical?”

Any time. Have a nice day.

I think Republicans are idiots, the same way I think Democrats are idiots. I do believe, however, that Republicans have fought for the free market to hold more sway, which is something I can agree with in broad strokes.

I think this site might be my new go-to hangout. Thank you for this.

Did you mean “are not functional 30 year olds” or “are now functional 30 year olds?”

Actually that’s pretty much the exact advice given in an advice column on Jezebel just last month.

I just looked into this. GENIUS. “If lost call” then the parents’ phone numbers. I’ll be buying a few hundred of these.

Link please! I’ll take a dozen.

Leashes saved my kids. We took them on a cruise (twins who were 3 at the time). Crowded ship, crowded ports, crowded everything, but the little leashes we clipped to their backpacks meant they didn’t end up overboard or lost in some port city or kidnapped or in the pool.

My wife has a younger sister that was diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. She was a serious nightmare kid for a few years there. My wife told me “We’re going to have to pay someone to marry her because no one will ever want to!” After she turned 12 or 13 we could all see the shift in her personality. Her therapist kept…

There ya go.

Honest question: Is it possible to believe in securing our borders without being a racist? Is there any world where wanting control over who’s allowed into the country isn’t caused by hate?
