And single payer would help with this. If doctors are like public servants (paid through the government system in Canada...), then they can’t pull shit like this. And sure, a lot of doctors won’t be millionaires anymore, but they’re hardly suffering here either... The US health care system is fucked up a million ways…

Well it is, up until her miscarriage, and then her son dies during WWI, and the other one comes back shell-shocked, so it isn’t anymore :/ The later adult Anne books get quite sad.

I’ll have to confirm, but I’m pretty sure my brother was a part of that club - my sister and I rewatched it every winter and he would sit quietly in a corner of the living room, just as glued to it as we were :)

Here’s hoping she has a Molly-vs-Bellatrix moment coming soon??

Dude. She’s the Amway AND the Blackwater ultra-fundy Christian families all rolled up into one hard-as-nails skinny fucking bitch, she is WORSE than Umbridge...

christ I forgot about that one. Ew ;p

You’re married to Joey!

Yeah we hid that one though, it’s a bit much for a three year old when Peter gets his fingers chopped off and they’re streaming blood (that one’s a bit gory!!)

I still don’t :) Maybe it’s because even though I was born in Canada I grew up on my grandmother’s German fairy and morality tales, I have every intention of reading the “real” fairy tales to my daughter when she’s a bit older (she’s nearly 4 now, my husband asked that I wait til she’s at least 6 ;p). But she’s…

Not just girls (Sinbad, the 3 little pigs, Hansel & Gretel, Peter & the Wolf, Thomas the Rhymer), these are centuries (even millenia) old stories that were used to teach, moralize and entertain, and people have been studying and applying them in really interesting ways for at least 200 years (Jung and archetypes,…

Also dismiss locohonkey, it’s probably another of his accounts...

No you need to get rid of him - he shows up on threads and then edits his comments to vileness the second he gets blacked - dismiss please!

And he’s got a buddy/alternate account in LocoHonkey...

Hmph. I missed the Keanu-in-my-locker phase.

Ethan Hawke is apparently a dick too however. Keanu though - step off!

Jesus, some people...

I totally agree that the jobs won’t disappear (and in fact, if you bring back/revamp rail, it’ll probably increase job numbers too). My beef is more with the notion that we need self-driving trucks for the long haul at all. What does the image of convoys of “self-driving” trucks remind people of if not freakin’…

Or poking you in the face to make you move over so they can snuggle with you in bed. I love that :/

Me too! And I love to go to sleep with cat purrs (who knew? he’s my first actual own personal cat). But he’s annoyingly immovable in the morning when I want him out of my face to sleep for another 30 minutes...

Apparently night-time yowling can be a sign of hyperthyroidism in cats (it was in my scrawny 16 year old rescue), which is pretty common. He might not even be getting skinny yet, he could just be getting the night jitters. Might be worth checking out...
