I’m so sorry to hear this. My mother starting working at a construction company in 2002 and suddenly became a BIG Bush supporter--my kind, anti-war, pro-choice mother. It’s been four years since that company pink slipped her and she’s back to being a full-on blue-wave supporting Dem again. People are weird. 

It only took us three but I think it took at least that many years off my life. It cost us 20k out of pocket to have a baby with insurance. 

This is really simple: 1) Because no one makes enough money to give up a full income, 2) no one can afford to just drop out of the job market for five years and have a huge gap on their resume. 

It took us three years to pay off the birth of our child. 

Twist: It was the girl who left the note.

The increase in the standard deduction has actually rendered the mortgage interest deduction irrelevant for most middle income homeowners, though. 

This is patently untrue. The constitutionality of the cases would hinge on whether the federal government had the right to enact those laws over the states’ rejection. 

For one thing France has a unitary government. Here the states have rights vis-a-vis the central government. Even if the the central government passed laws on these issues, it’s a question of constitutional authority whether it actually has the right to do so. I agree that the whole system is stupid but it was created…

Treat all men like threats all the time/#NotAllMen. Shut up.

Yeah...duh. Also, in articles where a person is being taken down as a perp, I don’t see any reason to refer to them by their artistically chosen name.

Why do these articles continue to refer to him as “Dr. Luke”? He’s not actually a doctor and I see no reason to refer to him as his chosen name.

This is exactly what use (right down the to the reusable nursing pads). Morning and night with a twice weekly exfoliation.

So far this is the best take on Peterson I’ve seen: https://www.thebeaverton.com/2018/05/new-jordan-peterson-book-asserts-all-dogs-are-boys-and-all-cats-are-girls/

My older half-sister not only disowned her own daughter for being a lesbian but also threatened to try to have their other daughter’s child taken away from her for allowing her to continue contact with “that lesbian”. People are fucking nuts.

With you here. It would have been great to skip the Christopher nonsense but after the revival I really have no faith in what ASP would have done with the season.

I’m all for taxing corporations but why would you attach the tax to full-time workers and not revenue? Why wouldn’t they just reduce the numbers of full-workers or focus on automation?

I could kind of understand Rory becoming a full-blown entitles twit in the revival but I really felt they did Paris wrong. She was committed to Excellence in a way that anticipated a more grand outcome. I maybe could have accepted her as a cutting-edge fertility doctor but it was just way too slapstick. She deserved…

Holy shit. I’m now four songs deep into the King of Wishful Thinking mix on Youtube. Fucking amazing.

I’m utterly confounded by decorative pillows. Even throw pillows for a couch should be comfortable and have no tassels, beads, or other such garbage attached.

Yeah, as someone who works in a community college, I just don’t have an eye for this at all. My students are thrilled when they get interviews in their field and I celebrate with them.
