Ughhhhh I hate that the go to for insulting women is calling them fat, and I hate even more that is so often fucking works perfectly at making you feel like total shit.

Paul Marciano’s “ I never touched her inappropriately.” line is likely something he believes. He probably thinks grabbing her breasts for an authenticity check is appropriate. He’s wrong.

Kate Upton was 18 in 2010. That poor girl (now woman) was so over-sexualized at such a young age. I mean it made her fabulously rich so good on her for that, but damn, it must have been at a high cost.

Wounds to the leg are very dangerous (it’s how a lot of dumbasses kill themselves fucking around with weapons), both because of the femoral artery (which if severed and not treated can have you bleed out in a matter of minutes) and because of venous bleeds that take longer to kill you but are also pretty dangerous.…

Thank you for the confirmation! I wish more people knew/understood this. I wish more doctors’ billing departments would be that honest/forthcoming with the patients. I’ve tried to explain it to people I know when they express fear of medical bills and they’re putting off tests so they can save up some money. The…

If the Democrat party is going to continue to threaten a shutdown

“Yes, America is the greatest country in the world overall.”

The greatest country in the world, everyone.

This is a very comforting article to read - thanks for writing it. As a 33-year old woman in a loving and committed partnership, parenting has been on my mind frequently over the last few years. While I’ve never felt drawn to have children, I’ve considered it with a much more open mind as of late and can see the…

Honestly, if we ever get to a Prepper Revolution, I just want to die. Come over to my apartment to steal my rice and beans and kill me. Preferably as quickly and painlessly as possible.

It’s not about whether the human race will survive or not, it’s about whether you want to be responsible for bringing into existence a being capable of experiencing suffering. Because in the midst of all that survival is a whole lot of death, anguish, pain, and misery.

So, instead of requiring my employer to pay me for time off to take care of my kid, they’re going to take it put of the social security I will need when I retire?

YUP. You know what they could have done if they really wanted to help workers? Made the tax breaks for business contingent upon things like paid family leave and/or livable wages.

Am I wrong in saying that this will negatively affect women so much more than men? Since women are kind of physically required to take days off after each birth, and men are not? I could see there being quite a disparity between the sexes in average retirement age if this were implemented.

Forcing parents to borrow against their own future is the quintessential Republican solution. Like borrowing against your 401k retirement (which has effectively wiped out retirement accounts), and the frighteningly irresponsible “financial product” called Reverse Mortgages, this is the latest way for the non-rich to…

Similarly, I get really irritated when people describe veterans as having “fought for our freedom.” No one’s fought for our freedom since at least WWII, arguably not since long before that. Whether or not you support some of the things we’ve fought in wars for, none of them in a great while have been for American…

If NSYNC came out and did a few songs there is no fucking way this article would be like this. JT phoned that shit in with a homage to prince that when living prince specifically wished no one would do for him like that when he passed.

I understand what you’re saying, about public opinion turning against him, but this article would have been a lot harder to write if Justin had given a great performance. He did not. He gave an underwhelming one.

I disagree. Everyone agrees he’s a talented guy, but he phoned this one in. We’ve been seeing him perform for years, we know he can put on a show. If he had brought out the other NSYNC guys for a couple of songs, that’s what we would all be talking about. Or if, like most recent halftime shows, he had brought in a…

You are so right about politeness. And about trusting your guts. I was “assaulted” when I was 18 one night I was hitch-hiking after seeing a friend. I remember that I joked to my friend who was sorry to not have a second helmet to drive me home “With my luck, I will be kidnap by a serial-killer”. And then when I saw…
