Nope. Unpopular opinion incoming: I don’t think people should be having kids. Between overpopulation, and all the orphaned/foster kids out there, I don’t think anybody has any business having a litter of rugrats. What’s so important about making your own, why can’t you love a child that already exists and needs a…

Don’t have kids unless you really, really want them. Having kids doesn’t make you a “grown up” any more than not having kids makes you childish.

Unless you live in a right to die state/country, people in an unfixable physical condition like complete quadriplegia need to resort to lovely measures like starving themselves to death if they want to exercise their human right to end their own lives. And that can take weeks, even well over a month. We’ve all been…

Yeah, not everyone makes the decision to live and part of society coming to terms with euthanasia as an acceptable choice is embracing stories like this. The manic pixie dream girl doesn’t change his mind. That’s life.

I get exactly what you’re saying. If someone is unhappy with living with a disability (physical or mental), they should do what they need to do. It is, as you say, their body, their choice. It’s not up to us to say someone should be “grateful for what they have” or “rise above” or some other cliche. No need to…

note: I haven’t seen the movie and I am not differently abled.

Plus the fact that babies are hard wired to co-sleep. Cribs are REALLY recent. For thousands of years before that kids slept next to their parents.

Meh, I think seperate bedrooms can prolong a marriage. Not everyone is wired to sleep all wrapped up with someone else. Ignore their shit if it worls for you.

I co-slept with my eldest until he was three and now co-sleep with my two year old (big brother sometimes joins us in the middle of the night). My husband sleeps in the guest room. I have received endless flak from family and friends about this, but guess what? I get to sleep through the night, every night. My kids…

Yeah one thing I noticed: Most ad folks over 35 (I call them “lifers”) are dead behind the eyes. The demands of that industry are no good if you have a family or a life. All I had was a husband and a dog and I struggled toward the end - the lifers all had kids they never saw! And it didn’t even seem to bother them.…

Eh, I’ll take a pass on eating at fancy restaurants with my coworkers if the alternative is a job where I actually get to have a personal life.

This. From an outsiders perspective, the biggest problem with work-life in America is the pervasive and toxic idea that companies are doing you a favour by allowing you to work for them.

I personally think that if someone is willing to and wants to work for a lower wage, than someone else, they should have the right to do so. There is something to be said about allowing people to freely contract out their time at a wage they feel comfortable with.

You’re describing a situation where desperate people can “sell” their labor for pennies on the dollar. What would stop a company from preying on desperate people and offering wages that are no where near livable? Im just not sure what kind of sense this makes for anyone other than companies that will be able to pay…

I never understood how certain people can’t wrap their heads around the idea that working people half to death while paying them next to nothing is actually bad for their bottom line. Those people are going to make themselves sick if they don’t quit first and the work they produce cannot be as good as the work…

Keep licking those corporate boots! Maybe someday your overlords will reward you with more scraps in the race to the bottom!

I run a small (tiny) business, and really, this law is looooong overdue. Pay people for the work they do or for the hours they work, and stop making excuses about how this will hurt - think of the people working long, hard hours for minimal compensation. If overtime is expensive for the employer in dollars, it is even…

I’ll probably get shit for pulling this out of the gray BUT:

No hate on Angie or the work she does for women’s rights, but as a Normal currently suffering through a PhD I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at this.

Huh. I’m a confirmed misanthrope and I don’t have a lot of friends period, but I’ve never had another woman so much as comment my lack of a “squad,” let alone ostracize me for it.
