so down to laugh at virtually anyone

I want to like the aftermath scene with Catherine because the actors are so good and a lot of what she says to Mary is so good, but.....

This is just a dressed up "boys will be boys" argument. Nobody thinks that there's a switch that can be flipped to end male on female violence. I am talking about framing our discussion about violence in such a way that puts the responsibility for it on the person responsible, which is the abuser, not the victim. Only…

"we also should teach young girls how to avoid risky situations"

She was writing him up for failing to perform because he didn't wait on a NIP customer who clearly wanted help. I breastfed for a few years, sometimes, it was the only way I was going to get ANYTHING done. So, yeah, I expect everyone to be fucking grown-ups when I need help/service and am asking for it. What if I had…

And the countdown begins! I have one more week of work at the job I quit last friday. I am so happy that I actually made a bunch of cupcakes tonight to take in tomorrow as a parting gift. I have met so many wonderful people there and I love cooking for people. It's crazy, I love the people but the work made me crazy…

June's almost over and it's starting to hit me that I move in about a month. It's both frightening and exciting, because I'm pretty much all here by myself and have to move myself across two states by myself. I've been taking inventory and think I should be able to put my furniture in a U-Haul truck along with my…

Jesus fucking Christ learn to use the shift key.

I hate this story. We're supposed to hate the step-sisters because they are ugly? Most of their ugliness comes from their mom who raises them to think they are better than everyone else. They are victims of an awful parent. Then the prince can't recognize Cinderella after their evening together? Does he have…

"Used to?" All that respect was back in the good old days, you mean? Back when women had no autonomy outside of their husbands and minorities couldn't vote? How about the good old days when we respected the government so much we threw some tea in the harbor, declared our independence, and waged war against our…

When she is saying that living in her daughter's lavish guest room is worse than the living conditions these women endured then yes absolutely that's trivializing what their experience was. I don't know how you clearly seem to understand the comparisons she was making and yet don't see it as trivializing their…

If people serving food are so brilliant why aren't they splitting atoms or something?

OK, I get that you're a soldier and that SOP is like the bible. I also get that the reason for this is that SOP has probably saved your life and the lives of your friends more than a score of times on the battle field (+1, always).

Whether you call this policy "forcing your religious beliefs on other people" is more a question of how you construct that phrase. That's just a subjective judgment on the policy, not a strawman.

I have had a crush on Lena Headey for years and didn't know it. She was, I have recently discovered, "Kitty" in The Jungle Book

We got a dog when I was 10, the shelter had a 24-hour hold policy, so after we picked out "Tinker" we went home and came back the following day. When we arrived an older couple was being told the dog was already adopted, it turned out they had fallen in love with him too just after we finished our paperwork, and…

I don't fucking care if they did it on purpose. They are a business and they should be aware that manufacturing issues happen and that you need to have a backup plan. So not only are you a white dude lecturing women on what options women have for purchasing clothing, you don't even know how fucking businesses plan for…

Angel became Angelus, a completely different person really. Spike was Spike when he sexually assaulted Buffy at her most vulnerable, and I never forgave him. Even when he "died" I was all 'go fuck yourself, Blondie Bear."

I'm also an "I was abused and it was called spanking" person but to me this bill does the opposite. Perhaps I'm being swayed by the clearly stated purpose for the bill which is to protect spankers. It's not meant to create a clear line so that abusers can be punished. It's meant to create the standard that it's ok…

When my mom was little car seats didn't exist and she turned out just fine. I suggest that we ban all car seats forever!!
