I didn’t even know this until I got pregnant.

It would definitely incentivize lying to your doctor.

This is repugnant regardless, but: at “6 weeks pregnant,” you’ve generally only been pregnant for about 4 weeks, and your period is only 2 weeks late. The number of weeks pregnant you are is counted from the first day of your last period, not from ovulation (which is harder to pinpoint).

I once weighed myself before and after a single dinner at my MIL’s house, and I spent that dinner turning down as much food as I possibly could, and I gained 4 pounds over the course of the meal.

Same. I eat pretty well by myself, but with people it becomes much more difficult. Though at least my husband is usually willing to finish my leftovers.

It is the opposite for me. I experience a lot of pressure to eat garbage around other people (at least from some of my friends) plus there’s the whole, “We’re having fun, live a little!” aspect. Alone, I generally am trying to eat a reasonable amount of food for a reasonable amount of money with a variety of nutrients…

I don’t even know if they got around to changing the law, but there was a rape case a few years back where a woman was raped by a man pretending to be her boyfriend (like the rape scene in Revenge of the Nerds), and people realized the law in my state only considered that rape if the woman was married. An obvious nod…

If I wasn’t worried about ruining my computer monitor I would stamp “DOUCHE” in red ink across this picture:

What? I have 7 keys for work and 6 for home. Also, people gripping their keys for self-defense are not walking up to assailants to start a fight, that would be offense, not defense.

*And he is a traitor to our country.

I will be using the phrase “a known disgusting” for the rest of my life, please and thank you.

Everything is trash, but parental consent laws for abortion are especially trash.

There is nothing commonsense about forcing minors, most of whom are too young to consent to sex, to give birth to children.

Nope. These are the same assholes who will turn around and call it an “anchor baby.”

I’m actually pretty okay with other countries drawing conclusions about the US based on Trump winning. Those are valid observations, and we deserve to feel ashamed of it.

Italy is where a judge in the 90s overturned the conviction of a 45-year-old driving instructor found guilty of raping an 18-year-old pupil on the grounds that she could not have been raped because she was wearing jeans. He argued that it’s impossible to get tight jeans off a woman without her consent, so the sex must…

I figure that’s at least part of the reason behind this:

Yeah, the only thing good that came out of this episode is that it told me exactly whom to have no respect for, because I was done with anyone who said some nonsense about, “What am I supposed to tell my kids about nipples?” I don’t know, dude, your kids were drinking out of nipples a few short years ago, and they…

Yeah, like 90% of pop music is about romantic relationships. This is not remotely restricted to Taylor Swift.
