I am team scrunchie. #sorrynotsorry

The scrunchie never went out. You've always been able to buy them in any drugstore ever since the 90s started. And for fucksake, it's just a hair-elastic. It functions. Why all the pearl-clutching?

Scrunchies slide out of hair more easily than regular hair elastics, resulting in less snagging and breaking. So there.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way. They were emotionally involved before the baby and resumed an emotional involvement after. You can't just call someone a mere sperm donor under those circumstances. It's far too tangled up for such a black/white declaration.

Yeah, I feel kind of icky saying this, but I am too. I'd even be on her side if she'd taken his sperm and stayed broken up with him, but it sounds like when they started seeing each other again, he got to spend time with the child. That kind of changes things and makes him more than just a donor (at least IMO;…

I know. This is hard. If you listen to her side, she is vindictive and extremely cruel, keeping his son from him. If you listen to her side, he is abusive and manipulative and is basically doing this to hurt her. It is impossible to know who's lying just based on their accounts. I hope the judge can figure this out in…

He sounds like a jackass, but I'm on his side in terms of the custody dispute.

I'm not an actress or anime character and my waist is 14" smaller than my bust. Does that mean I need to get a breast reduction to fit your standard of normal?

That's probably why she definitely said "slightly" which is pretty synonymous with "not that much of a difference".

That's actually exactly the rationale that the Lego spokesmen use, though of course they don't frame it as wanting to extract as much cash from you as possible. They say they want to prevent boys from just swapping out the heads because they don't want to play with girls; they're trying to force boys to be inclusive…

Shapely? They look like legos to me. Maybe they are just trying to distinguish them as female. *shrugs*

I agree. There is a major class component here. This lady is doing this because she can't afford child care, not because she is stupid. It's not the same thing as playing outside with your friends all summer long, with your mom at home ready to make a sandwich for you. This headline should have read Minimum Wage…

Okay, so, it's kind of ridiculous to arrest the mom, but it is NOT okay to leave a nine-year-old alone for hours without supervision.

Honestly - I don't want someone leaving their children locked in any kind of car. Hot or not - you are literally leaving children without any form of supervision or safety. I consider that an obvious Hell No situation.

Can we just go with "never?" It is NEVER ok to leave children or animals locked in a hot car. COME ON, people. This is Texas. Heat indexes are expected to reach 105 today, you could bake cookies on the windshield of your car. And it's just gonna stay this way until October. We ALL know this. We go through this EVERY…

Um? How is this any different from getting a boyfriend/ONS and getting pregnant? Does anyone vet their dates on their family medical history before letting them have sex with them? Further, does everyone know every single disease that could crop up now or in the future and would be able to disclose that to a partner?

Hmm...but most of what we could consider our "personal" beliefs are forged under very lopsided power dynamics. It's the nature of our being social creatures. Parents forcing children into sexual activity is against the law without regards to incest; parents maintaining a household where sibling incest is not…

Like I said, though, pedophila is/was/and always will be against the law, as it should be, and judges who minimize it should be run out of their postitions. I'm speaking only of adults in truly consenting, though disturbing, relationships.

I'm not in any way arguing with you about this case. You're totally right. I'm just saying that having a law against two adults having sex is problematic.

There are two different issues here. Pedophilia is abhorrent and will always be abhorrent no matter what some judge says. Incest between adults, while stomach turning for most of us, is consensual sex between adults and shouldn't be our business as long as it is actually consensual. At least that's my thought, but I'm…
