“I like chocolate chip cookies without the chips.”

Thank you, you’re very kind. We would have done anything to make her well, even transplant, but she was too frail. We gave her subcutaneous fluids for a year, but it just didn’t help anymore. She was my Lassie, you know? I’ll never have another like her.

I know right? When I came across the anti swearing people I was fascinated by them, especially the American anti swearing peeps, they have all sorts of interesting ways to get around not swearing. What’s baffling is that they can be wearing the most revealing sexy outfits or having a big fight and saying awful things…

They’re claiming she was fired for inappropriate language. Even if that’s the truth unless there is a paper trail of progressive discipline, she will be likely to win any lawsuit.

Not to make light of this woman’s experience but on my work record from a previous job is an official write up admonishing me to “stop stealing coworker’s hair and doing magic spells with it”.

YES. THE PET BOARDS. Holy hell some people take their pets way too seriously. I got piled on once because I mentioned my dog had crate anxiety and so I needed suggestions beyond “crate train her.” (Because, I mean, I was working on that but it was slow going and I needed something in the meantime). The entire…

There are pet boards? Obviously I am a HORRIBLE cat mom, since I didn’t even know they existed. And my precious is 9 years old! However has she made it this long??? Oh wait, my cousin works for a vet and I just text her pictures and questions: “Jess, does her lip look swollen? Why would her lip be swollen? Should I…

OMG no more pet boards for me. Anyone not feeding raw is an ignorant puppet of the kibble industry and may as well be stabbing their pets with ice picks repeatedly.

It’s fine. Looks like a penis.

On one hand, women’s bodies have been scrutinized, commoditized, and violated in favor of an entitled public view for years, so I shouldn’t feel bad when it happens to a man. On the other hand, he was clearly on a private resort and just had his privacy wildly violated.

Eh, it's not bad for a penis. Hard to tell much when it's flaccid anyway.

That's the point where you pull a Homer Simpson into the bushes move and be glad you've never mentioned where you practice.

What? Did they tell you were putting her on the first step of that diabolical path leading towards pixie cuts, lesbianism, and even the dreaded trans-people?!? Because we all know that starts with an appreciation of dump trucks.

I got so much shit on a mommy group when I “revealed” that my husband stays at home with the kids. Don’t even get me started on how much they insist on imposing gender on infants and toddlers.

I HATE all the worry these places breed. Of course, the Internet in general is like a factory farm for worry. I wonder when we’ll fully realize how much this worry is costing us.

I am a parent, and I have a masters in child development. I specialize in early education and children on the autism spectrum. I have taken years of specialized classes in all kinds of therapies. I have left the field because it just became too stressful dealing with parents who are so completely invested in the…

I have to laugh because I am not a parent... But I own/ride/compete in the horse world and frequent a couple of horse boards. Replace the kid terms with horse terms and it’d be completely accurate about those boards as well. I think it’s a function of getting passionate people together on the interwebs.

Agreed on many points. These forums are always a blend of helpful and ridiculous. I was added to a mommy group on fb and while it’s been a good resource you also roll your eyes a lot at the absurd questions. Things like “my baby is trying to roll over, what should I dress them in so they can’t?”.

how fucked is it that this guy is still what passes for moderate and reasonable on the right?
