That was my first thought. Big boobs and full hips just seem sexy and sultry without having to tart them up with big feathered wings or enormous cheeseburgers

Fat women are also hypersexualized in our culture.

You guys I want a penguin so bad. And goats. And a few red pandas. And a sloth. Just let me move into the zoo, mmkay?

I’m sorry that Lindsey won’t be able to achieve her goal of being pregnant. I’m not sorry that Lindsey’s adopted children will have a mom that isn’t distracted with maintaining a foreign uterus. I’m not sorry that Lindsey’s adopted children will not get to feel like they have to compete with mom’s only biological…

I watched Ace Ventura a lot as a kid. I’m game.

Somehow with the X-Files reboot, they managed to remove *any* *trace* of the original magic? Like, they took all the lightning out of the bottle, and then ran it through the dishwasher a couple of times to make sure it was entirely lightning-free.

This is pretty much the exact age that my wife’s father left her and her 2 siblings behind. We still hear from him from time to time, but it amazes me how she manages to not be bitter towards him.

Oh that song hit me DIRECTLY in the feels. My dad didn’t leave when I was 6, but he is an alcoholic and addict and we have been estranged for many years, and last time he got in touch was right after I got my second degree. My husband also restored my faith in men and even though we’re not having kids I know he’d be a…

We do have a “Do Not Call” list in the US, and for the first few years of its life it worked. But now, it’s possible to spoof just about anyone’s number, so the telemarketers have found a way around it. We don’t answer the phone anymore.

Glad to see someone writing on this episode. As a white male, it brought me to tears multiple times. I thought it was such a balanced look at the system as it is versus how it should be. Powerful stuff.

This is only slightly related, but your toilet reply reminded me of it.

As someone who doesn’t have allergies, I won’t even be as nice.

As someone who suffers from various allergies, I’ll try to be as diplomatic as possible here. That said...

This is why pets should be banned from airplanes. Service animals aside, your pooch doesn't trump my right to breathe.

Welcome to the world of Millenials, who swear that they have the right to spit on people who lean their seat back. You expect better from them when they’re inconvenienced by someone’s medical emergency?

Are these the guys that sit in the old gum tree and king it up?

Kookaburra is probably the most Austrailia sounding animal name I’ve ever heard.

Look at that majestic thing, just sitting there like a wise old guardian. “Be at ease Humans, I shall protect you.”

No love for the Kookaburra? They’re at least less likely to kill you than a Cockatoo, who can be nasty buggers at times. Plus, kookaburras are fucking loyal. We once rescued a kookaburra, and its entire family—eventually three generations—started coming to our house for lamb every morning and evening. We tried…

Is it okay to bring up your coworkers’ salary while negotiating? Like, “Bob makes 50k and I only make 45k, but we do the exact same sort of work and have the exact same job title, what gives?”
