I really wish we could make jackasses like this pay out of their personal funds instead of making taxpayers foot the bill twice when they go off on misguided crusades like this.

“the government would be punishing the prosecutors who worked to protect the constitution”

Except they weren’t defending the Constitution. Assuming I am reading all of this correctly, the prosecutors were working to push back against rights afforded by the Constitution.

This judge sounds AWESOME.

The time, the money, the effort, the sheer energy spent on inventing elaborate reasons to deny people who want to the chance to get married. It is SO infuriatingly moronic, what could be done with all those resources, it really does make me want to kick things.

I’m honestly surprised the fees aren’t higher. Considering that the 4th circuit had already decided the issue, there was absolutely no reason why SC should have defended the law.

I can’t star you, so here is your star. Poor garbage men. I was 26 before I figured out my dogs and guinea pig didn’t really go to a farm. My mother was a lying liar pants.

Oh, the garbage man covets your pacifier. He is always watching, hoping to catch you with one again, so that he can steal it. With glee.

Oh god, I hate people. I’m sure they were the most perfectly behaved children, as were their children, and never cried (or even spoke!) in public. I’d have given them the finger. I have no patience for bitches like that.

What always cracked me up was how the kids who would invariably refuse a pacifier if it were offered (to the point of hurling it across the room with a force to make a superhero feel inadequate) would then tackle another child, put him in a sleeper hold, steal HIS pacifier, pop it in, and refuse to part with it. WUT.…

The struggle is real. My baby never took to a pacifier after the first couple of weeks of life, and now EVERYTHING goes into his mouth. Most recent favorite - dust bunnies! Blech.

Frankly, if a kid still has the need to suck (which, yup, totally developmentally normal) I would rather they used a pacifier than sticking EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH INTO THEIR MOUTHS OMG. If my years in childcare taught me anything, it is that kids who use pacifiers are not the ones eating the toys and making me…

I feel like this story is a real example of “Stars, they’re just like us!!” Because all parents are under stupid levels of scrutiny about minor shit like this from total strangers. I had people ask me about my son’s use of a pacifier when he was 2 and 1/2 years old. And people cautioning against it when he was a…

When my brother was young and still a thumb sucker, my mother asked my orthodontist when they should break him of the habit. My orthodontist told her not to torture my little brother, after all braces are cheaper than therapy. Now that I have a little thumb sucker of my own, I just return to that advice. He sucks his…

this right here is everything..... Dad...giving a back of the head kiss..... that is a man who loves his kid. kudos

I used my pacifier (also known as my “mimi”) until I was four and a half.

I googled images of ventriloquist dummies to make a pun joke but now I’m too creeped out to follow through. Moral of the story: don’t google images of ventriloquist dummies.

God he’s a hot bloke.

Pacifier for any age. MYOB, people!

I sucked my thumb until the 4th grade and my teeth are just fine. My thumb was mildly deformed for awhile, but it is totally fine now!
