The man dating a Russian agent who was attempting to interfere in an election was questioned as part of investigations into Russian interference in the election? That is the shallowest deep-state conspiracy revelation I’ve ever heard.  

They were also well known for their safety!

“After receiving thousands of emails from people who wanted to attend but also didn’t want their identity to be known, we’ve decided to add a costume contest*. Feel free to celebrate your straightness in anonymity.”

This story is bizarre from top to bottom.

Let’s all pour out an over-priced, hoopy beer laced with fracking fluid for ole Hick.

Me starting the article: “I already know what happened”

The idea that we need to plan on getting into a war with Russia or China is ridiculous (yes, I get that we need some deterrence to be taken seriously etc.). Look at the last dozen times we engaged an enemy. It’s always gonna be extremely low-tech essentially defenseless targets. The government will never have the…

Hipsters. Vinyl, single speed bikes, and now retro porn.

Why is there a sex doll riding that bike in the background? Now I gotta join Equinox to find out what really goes on there.

That’s a really nice way to see how burly those structures really are. When you can’t actually see the downforce, those wings look dainty. I’d never guess you could stack that much weight there.

The desire to have children and the desire to change diapers are not the same.

Over time, many of those people left. Ashley Feinberg also left.

It’s like that old saying, “I’ll be back in a lesbian minute!”

Point taken. We employers that can be flexible around school times and summer to help with that too.

In my world, raising kids is a choice that may involve sacrifices. I see parenting as a full time job. If you enjoy working, work. If you enjoy raising kids, raise kids. You literally can’t do both simultaneously so people outsource a lot of the “raising” part and do other things with their time like work. It’s not a…

Well, we’ve limited the population we’re discussing to the parents that have the freedom to choose. They’re essentially saying, “Look, I could have raised you myself, but I didn’t want to.” In my opinion that’s selfish, and to some extent irrational. Obviously there are a million confounding factors, but I don’t…

You said

Don’t be an ass. You already gave a thoughtful response and i appreciated it. But now you have to jump in with an absolutely stale comment that adds nothing. Maybe now they’ll let you sit at the cool kids table.

You know that’s not the argument I’m making. There’s a substantial benefit to having individuals with a Master’s degree teach your children very specific topics. On the other hand, I believe a mom will be more responsive to a young child’s physical and emotional development than a daycare worker is likely to be.

I’m totally leaving aside elder care. That’s very often a matter of failing health and requires professional attention as you noted.
