When I stopped drinking, my roommate would only drink beers in his room - not in front of me. This went on for a few months. I told him that I was good. I don’t remember it, but one day he had a beer in front of me and then it was just normal. It takes time. Drink in front of him when both parties are comfortable with…

I think it’s probably good for all of you to have a relationship that doesn’t involve drinking.

HMMMMMMMMM idk! this is a good question. i think at 4 months sober it would have annoyed me (why dont they trust me and what i am saying?????) but at 2+ years sober i would think it’s cute/endearing that they care so much

In my experience, if you have to alter your mental state to hang out with your friends, it probably isn’t meant to be. I know some people who’ve said it helps with their GAD, however...so maybe in that case.

Seriously - this is definitely a pro-life issue. Your children aren’t old enough to make medical decisions, you don’t get to withhold life-saving treatment assuming they’d be okay with it.

Anyone who says that baby formula hasn’t been proven safe can have that argument with my fist.

I had a discussion right here on Jezebel years ago with someone who told me I was being close minded by not “exploring the option” that vaccinations do more harm than good. She really lost me when she went on to say that baby formula still hasn’t been deemed safe and when I told her it has she implored me to provide…

That one got me too. I have no idea. Maybe Sarah Palin helped her write the statement?

“Held reliable”.

Wait what? Recess and Pepper Ann are what were waxing nostlaiga for? I came here for some Care Bears, Jem, My Little Pony (original), and those freaky claymation after these messages people:

We should start by taking holistic sentencing analyses of crimes that don’t have a victim. I don’t think anyone thinks the system is currently too tough on rapists. It’s too tough on recreational marijuana users.

I think the Turner sentence is a travesty. That said, I do see tension in the demand that high profile bad criminals get stiff sentences and the desire to reduce mass incarceration, which is driven by stiff sentences handed out to low profile bad criminals.

i’m 44, now so i realize that Empire Records was “after my time”... but i want to RAGE anytime someone gets sentimental about it, as if it was The Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink or something. Seriously, fuck Empire Records.

I still don’t get it. :(

It’s far easier to see him as a crazed psycho who is in cahoots with people who hate America than unpack why, in modern America, a supposed wellspring of diversity and liberty, a man with such different points of view/experiences on life cannot get it together and prosper? How complicit is the father and his…

Couldn’t you then say, by this absolutely ridiculous logic, that George W. Bush was directly responsible for the shooting because he invaded Iraq, which caused Obama to inherit troops there that he needed to pull out?

I feel like from an emotional standpoint, it may be less traumatizing

Thank you Jia, and thank you, Elizabeth. Telling and publishing these stories is vital to keeping abortion safe and legal. We need more of our stories out there.

I had an abortion at 20 weeks for chromosomal abnormalities. The baby would have lived, but there was no way to tell how much brain or organ function would…

I love to scroll down to the comments and feel vindication when I read one of these rambling articles and start to panic that maybe I have zero reading comprehension skills.

Despite the truly awful situation those men had to endure (with cops involved and prolly suspecting a break-in, that could have been deadly, FFS), that photo and that tweet are everything.
