UK Update:

After my time in the Family Court trenches, I refer to it as “Difficult Woman (NOS).” It is a highly politicized/gendered diagnosis. Not that I’m unwilling to believe it’s a real thing as much as ~are you paranoid when someone is out to get you~? If all the symptoms are normal responses to a traumatic and controlling…

Short Creek is a pretty good example of how the FLDS plays. They own the police forces, utility services, and county officials in and around their compounds. Non-FLDS are pushed out or prevented from buying homes. Leaders collect heavy tithes from the working men and women of the town and also scam off government aid…

Yet you clicked...and then commented. Interesting strategy.

I get those two confused all the time, like the time I thought I had descended to the depths of Hell, but was only stuck in the DMV when their computer *and* A/C went down.

Can confirm. My place of employment is running the place into the ground because the higher ups keep hiring people they either 1) know, or 2) owe a favor. And all of these people hired on don’t know what the hell they’re doing. If this is a common thing like I’m starting to think it is, I’m surprised business stay…

Actually, this is how so most businesses are run. They are not tight ships. Upper management is usually a hotbed of nepotism. That’s why few survive being passed down to the founder’s clueless children.

I’m glad the guy is still alive so that maybe there’s a slim chance he will see need, first hand, for better gun control and is still in a position to do something about it. One can hope.

From the navel up, the only physiological difference they care about between men and women is that women have larger mammary tissue to house the biological foundation for nourishing infants. Sexualizing that is gross. Yes, I understand that this is 2017 and women’s breasts have been seen as sexual organs forever, but…

Um, hell no. He completely assisted in fucking up the election by bringing those stupid emails back up right before the election. Nothing he does now can fix that. Also, he is a bland old white guy.

Do we have any money for after school programs or school lunches? Nope we spend it on this bullshit instead

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Yeah, I hear next week Trump plans to announce that he’ll send all Native Americans back where they came from.

I’m the mother of two boys. If they’re in high school and a teacher propositions them and I find out I’m going straight to the police. It’s not just about the age difference. There’s also a real power imbalance.

Well to be fair, it seems like his boner is writing at least part of his review.

As soon as you pull the “I have [insert trait here] friends so I can talk about people who are [insert trait here]” card you lose.

When my friend’s mom had cancer, she signed up for a medicinal marijuana card, and she compared the pain management properties of the prescription painkillers she was given vs. pot. She said the prescription was very slightly more effective, but the side effects were pretty bad. She stuck with pot through the entire…

Isn’t it weird how “pro-life” leaders work so hard to increase the abortion rate? It’s almost like their commitment to pro-life policies only extends to passing laws regulating what women can do with their bodies, and not to actually reducing the number of abortions (let alone supporting non-fetal life).

Or if you have any reason at all to use that space for recreation, and don’t want, among other things, Lyme disease.
