I think that as a compassionate species, we have a social responsibility to adopt. We have the power to love and parent children who are not our own.

That Vine is HILARIOUS!

I am so hardcore about paying taxes. It definitely sounded like he doesn’t pay income tax.

I’m actually happy about it. For so long I watched TV shows with perfect heroines (ahem, Gilmore Girls) and it wasn’t so relatable to me. Now I watch media that seems a bit more realistic. I don’t think I’m as awful as some of these protagonists and I definitely don’t see myself as a trainwreck, but I’ve had shitty…

I am so nervous. Sorry I have nothing else to add.

Same! I honestly find her very likable, and always have.

I love Between Two Ferns more than any comedy show on YouTube. I started watching it with the Michael Cera one in high school (!!!) and they’ve been a constant ever since. My favorites are the ones with other comedians, like the Steve Carrell one. Its absolutely incredible how funny they are riffing on each other.

Exactly. Also, the only real demographic that Trump has a strong hold on is white men. He has alienated pretty much every minority and most women. I just don’t think he has the numbers at all. I do think we will see a low voter turnout this election, but I still think Hillary has way more support than Trump. And who…

People yell at me for saying this, but I think so much of it boils down to sexism.

People just seem so gullible and I fear its because so many have lost critical thinking skills. I also think some people kind of like being the doomsayers. For example, a lot of liberal/Democrat friends of mine kind of like to indulge in the “well, America is just 100% full of racists and Donald Trump will definitely…

Agreed, I hope so. One of Clinton’s specialties is shutting down dumb white males, and I hope she wipes the floor with him.

For sure. One time on the IMDB message boards someone made a crack about Lorelai along the lines of “so we’re supposed to believe that a high school dropout who was disowned by her parents now lives in a colonial foursquare house in a quaint New England town and is able to drop an average of 100 pop…

While Marnie’s apartment may be somewhat realistic for current apartments, there were arcs in Girls that didn’t make sense. For like two seasons Hannah lives alone in a 2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and living room, and she’s only working very sporadically. Noooo way she could afford that. One of the side…

Great way to put it. Its weird to read “literally no one diets anymore” because I mean...our entire culture is based on weight and being thin and eating habits. I remember having a conversation with my mom after I got my first 9-to-5 job about how every time my coworkers sat down to a meal, out came the comments on…

That is interesting and definitely something you’ve experienced and noted. I am not denying your experience but I’ve had the opposite. I can say that almost all the women in my workplace diet or at least count calories and watch what they eat. Some are thin, some are average, some are overweight. But they absolutely…

True, also I wanted to add that there is a middle ground. Everyone indulges, of course, its not like women either diet and eat healthy 100% of the time or just eat crap. I think the average woman probably eats somewhat healthy (or at least real food) for meals and then indulges here and there. I don’t diet but I also…

I love Gilmore Girls so much but at the same time towards the end I was like “okay so we never actually see Rory studying or doing homework but she gets into every single Ivy League college no problem, and she exclusively eats hamburgers, pizza, and all other take-out but is a skinny little waif?”

I definitely took on more than I can chew this semester! I’m working full time as well as enrolled full time for graduate school. I had an amazing relaxing Saturday but just woke up now and told myself “okay, work all afternoon.” Haven’t been able to spend much time with my boyfriend because of all the crap I have to…

I know this is a few weeks later but I started watching YTW based on this post/your recommendation and I want to say thanks! Its so great that I actually bought the third season pass on Amazon because Hulu only has the first two up. Worth it!

True, but not if your children are adults and out of the house! This post described my mom’s routine to a fucking T, and my brother and I are both gone and moved out. So FLAMing seems awesome when the children in question are older.
