I wish I could say that was uncommon, and sadly your friend is in the “best” situation as an attorney to at least understand what is happening that shouldn’t be happening, and to document document document! Until this society acknowledges the real, vital role of parenting, this shit will continue to happen. 

I think I had a mini seizure just looking at these pictures ... I’d be afraid the room itself would be a health risk. 

This - so much this! I’m an HR pro (and also a lawyer so I know the law), and there are still tons of way employers will work around these discrimination laws.  They find all sorts of pretextual reasons and create shitty environments where it’s just below the threshold for hostile work environment.  It’s not a past…

I’m an HR professional, much of my professional time has been spent working for a staffing agency interfacing with client HR. My experience is that this is far from a past issue - as recently as 2016 I had to argue with companies not to fire women for disclosing pregnancies, not to mention getting them to hire someone…

I feel like they get into the “maybe the next thing will be the thing that makes this feel final” sort of cycle, and then you get married and it still doesn’t feel like it’s supposed to feel - spoken from experience: got engaged after living together for 3 years, and then the ex called things off a month before the…

Fake baby watch 2019 - boy was that fake baby so obviously fake during the living room scenes with the consultant. I hope they figure out how to make it look less floppy and lifeless.

Oooh good catch. 

Also, the change of her legal age in 2013 was done with tons of medical evidence - the change that her current guardians are trying to make is on the basis of one examination.  To me, it feels a lot like a couple trying to get money for fostering a child who is not a child, because of the confusion. I am from Indiana,…

I’m saying that it wasn’t a surprise that it was Jack and that Jack was blind b/c he was a preemie, they laid that groundwork THICK. 

I did too! 

From Dylan McDermott’s truly trippy “Early Life” section on Wikipedia: McDermott’s father’s third wife was playwright Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues), who legally adopted McDermott when he was 15 and she was 23.^[12] She has since divorced his father. Ensler, with whom McDermott has remained close,…

You seem like an unhappy person - I hope you’re ok. 

The ongoing coverage of The Good Place by the AVClub has ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE THIS. I’ve been following the show, and reading reviews on this site for all 3 seasons. If you don’t like the format, then go away - it hasn’t changed, it’s not new. You’re just grumpy. For fucks sake!

NEVER ENDING EARWORM! 

My theory - the reason that the accountant doesn’t show the numbers until the end, is because they’re not tracking the new folks numbers, but the original Cockroach crew numbers. As other commenters have said, it appears as if there is some regression here.  What will they do to make this all work, and how much will…

Then don’t read it and move along? Seriously ... 

You’ve nailed so much here- I think you’re correct, Eleanor’s final big test will be to let Chidi go.  To show she isn’t selfish - that she can choose others over herself.  I also am forecasting some major Janet-related disasters because she’s clearly working above her means and it’s showing the strain.  Can’t WAIT! 

All I can say is this, plus the CRAZY RHONJ trailer that dropped yesterday, has given me so much excitement for my Bravotainment in the fall. 

It’s also terrifying to help because even under the best of circumstances, this particular mechanism for impeachment, leaves Pence in power.  I know Trump is a literal terrorist, but Pence believes deeply in the promise of Gilead.  I’m from Indiana, I know.  It’s not even the best of a bad situation, because Pence is…

Yeah, plus she has lived with less.  She grew up pretty trashy and poor at the race track with her dad.  She definitely knows what it’s like to live with less.  There are a lot of things to not like about Bethenny, but strangely enough one of those things (her dogged relentlessness) has done what not many people have…
