Is it weird that I have started re-watching the original Rugrats in order to recapture my childhood and because it is free on Amazon Prime? Surprisingly, I have found it to hold up to the adult viewpoint. I am now aware that this show did not talk down to children but appealed to cross-generational viewpoints. Point

I fully agree with you. People act like consensual incest is not a real thing or that it never comes up in the real world. However, I know of a real couple who discovered later in life that they were half-siblings and were subsequently convicted as felons for their relationship. They were poor people who had no real

Actually, first cousins are legally able to be married in a majority of US states, and I agree with you that consensual incest should not be under government regulation.

I probably have more feelings about this particular subject because I'm so mad at a real event, but as an assistant prosecutor I had to stand by while my boss convicted a couple on felony incest charges last year where they were both blameless yet legally guilty of felony incest on the books. This was not the

Consent is an entirely separate issue from facing government obstruction to certain types of relationships and outlawing other ones from safety concerns for minors. Lawyers, and judges, are fully aware that children and animals cannot consent to sexual acts ever. Bestiality and pedophilia will never gain legality

Just as a response to the KP, I will tell you that the best thing that worked for me is switching to a chlorine filtered showerhead. Mine cost only $30 on amazon. In addition to this, I tried over years to limit soaping up my arms in general when bathing. Dryness only facilitates the unsightly red bumps, and

I bought Night Film immediately when it came out on Kindle but have not yet read it. I know that it would obsess me to the point of no sleep for 2-3 days/I want to save it for a time I really need a great book. That means that it is ready to go once I can scramble time off from real life, lol.

I really want to watch this movie but can't find it legally anywhere. I think I will be compelled to find it on solarmovie tonight.

I am constantly reading and sample from many genres, so I would love to share my most memorable faves. I caved to the kindle in 2011 and have never looked back; the space saved alone is a godsend. When I did study abroad in college a few years ago, I discovered a discount bookstore, which necessitated me to bring

I didn't go into my initial post to advocate spending habits for people facing real food shortages. In no way does my advice help people using WIC because they already have to plan around the legal obstacles as to what they are allowed to spend their food money on, namely fast food purchases. In my home state,

I am inexplicably heartened by your multiple posts to my initial one of food love, which was naively focused on it's intent to subvert classist views as to gourmand wants and budget.

I meant my real flesh and blood sisters in my earlier post, who had the same limited student budget as I did. From the same starting point, we greatly diverged in how we chose to budget our money.

I fully admit to being a crazy music person. I went to Bonnaroo as a single female person because I yearned to see so many live musical performances in one place and had no friends who enjoyed prolonged camping. Holy shit, but the live shows for Cut/Copy, Classixx, The Naked and Famous, Phosphorescent, Die Antwoord,

Really, everything I listed is super easy to make because quality ingredients mean less actual cooking skills to amplify the flavor. You can easily do it, too!

I agree, except that I find musical tastes to be a great way of defining people—so long as they are honest.

My roommate issues were more akin to becoming super hurtful and trashing prior close friendships through passive aggression.

You can actually dine as a gourmand very frequently on a limited budget, if you prepare it yourself and avoid restaurants. People think certain foods are only for the rich, but you can get a lb of crab legs for $5.99 when it's on sale at your local Kroger or a dozen oysters in the shell for $6. That is less than a

HamNo covered this on Saturday morning. At that time the commenters delved deeper into the fine print and realized that TGIF is only giving free refills on one (1) appetizer of the limited list you order from.

I'm sorry but handwritten notes should always be written for graduation and wedding gifts. Someone just gave you something you really needed at a time in your life when you needed, after you sent them a written announcement about it. Can you really not be bothered to thank them for that? I mean we keep up all kinds of

Glad to hear a positive story on gawker; although, it necessitates a business put edible food in the garbage, but at least people who needed it had access to uncontaminated food.
