I think it is bad if the participants weren’t paid what they were promised. But I’m on board with the overall sentiment of your comment.

Generation Xers were the original entitled narcissists.*

I was just thinking very similar thoughts.

Thank you. I get it now.

I love his candidacy. He says the most outrageous shit that should tank any Republican candidacy: the POW comments, this dumb military comment, raising taxes, etc, and his poll numbers don’t fall. It exposes how entrenched racism is among Republican voters. They’ll pick a pro-tax draft-dodger just because he wants to…

Yi-Fen Chou, what’s good?

I feel like someone just revealed the meaning of life to me. You get infinity stars.

Exactly. I’m sure if you did an examination of the demographics of women who nurse past 18 months they’d be overwhelmingly college educated and upper income. Which is not to imply that I’m making any value judgements, but who else has the luxury and flexibility to keep nursing that long?

Intend? Ha ha ha ha! I had absolutely no plan and always thought extended BFing was for weirdos but I nursed my son until he was 2 1/2 because it was the path of least resistance and I was tired all the time (I also had an older child who I hadn’t nursed as long) and it was easier to just keep saying yes.

I’m not an expert on black markets, but pointing out places like Chicago as evidence that bans don’t work isn’t really a useful example. Gun manufacturers flood the markets beyond demand in places where gun purchasing rules are lax, knowing that they will be purchased and eventually resold to markets with tight gun…

Oy. Comic relief?

Jews don’t do this. I didn’t see a dead body until I was 28 and it was so weird to me. Everyone was just chit chatting and schmoozing and there’s a corpse in a suit at the front of the room.

At my paternal grandfather’s graveside funeral when I was 15 my cousin and I got the giggles. I don’t know why. It was freezing cold. Our grandfather was dead. It wasn’t funny. But we couldn’t stop giggling. But then the rabbi said, “It is better to be in a house of mourning than a house that parties all the time,”…

It saved me so much work. Until I decided I wanted to read/participate in comments.

I’m actually not clear on why pre-selfie teenagers get lice less frequently than littler kids. With all the sleepovers and making out and such it would still seem like there's ample opportunity for transfer.

It isn’t like eliminating Tay-Sachs by doing genetic testing before a couple reproduces. Down syndrome isn’t hereditary, so when you say “eliminating disability” in reference to Down syndrome you are essentially saying that all fetuses with Down syndrome should be aborted. And then at the end of your comment you try…

We aren’t. Those people are just really loud and people take PP and the right to abortion and access to birth control for granted. In the 90s I had arguments with pro-choice friends who shrugged off voting for Republicans because they believed abortion would never actually be banned. But here we are and all those…

What if you had to choose between defiantly and definately?

I am wavering between feeling a little bad for these women who are victimized by the patriarchy’s fetishization of thinness and just wanting them to take responsibility for the fact that they are complete assholes who should grow up and attain the slightest bit of insight know better than to impose their dysmorphia on…

It is sort of like Fox’s insistance that there’s a war on Christmas.
