I’m with you! One of the things I hate the most about American politics is how all-important the Constitution is in lawmaking.

Your mileage may vary depending on your love of the show, but as a die-hard Wingnut, I was completely enthralled from beginning to end. When a shot near the end cut from the staged production to footage from the original episode, it was so seamless I didn’t even notice it for a few seconds. Sterling Brown was…

I think it’s the second one with Andy McDowell where they get boozy with expensive wine and engage in the most earnest performance of “Hard to Believe We’re in Heaven.” It’s cheesy as all hell but lord if Matt Bomer doesn’t sell that shit like puppies and hot chocolate. The PERFORMANCES are fun, but get a little…

I’m surprised how long and strong the “we don’t like Tyra, bring Tom Bergeron back” crowd has been.

Fucking horseshit. How do you not see that you are “playfully ripping” on them by equating effeminacy (“doing something less than masculine”) with being gay? Or are you suggesting it’s a TOTAL COINCIDENCE that a stereotype of gay men is that they’re effeminate and you used a slur associated with being gay to imply…

Osteopaths actually aren’t quacks.

I’m a fairly private person, and don’t post on social media that much (a lot of that is because I don’t like the way I look in pictures, not because I’m better than people who do), but Chrissy Teigen posting about her miscarriage (or even a regular person posting about her miscarriage) is hardly exhibitionist or…

That’s how you handle social media, not everyone else. Posting a lot of selfies doesn’t mean someone is narcissistic. 

idk who cares, let people post selfies and just appreciate that they are feeling pretty that day, and stop making assumptions on why people do it.

Maybe the part of the problem with American culture is that we are constantly asking the victims of bad behavior to change their behavior instead of the perpetrators. I have truly never experienced a culture like this and I am a child of immigrants and lived lots of places.

Thank you for this. At the start of the lockdown when fertility treatments were cancelled, I was in mourning. I mentioned it in Jez and was eviscerated for “wanting to have a child in a pandemic”. This situation sucks for most people in different ways and magnitudes but it still sucks

I think your feelings are completely justified. I think you’re making it worse for yourself by giving in to the guilt.

I think that person’s job is actually to go out to the cart corral and bring all of the carts back into the store. It is not strictly to first wander all over the parking lot collecting abandoned carts and then bring them in.

I’m sorry, but as the mom of a special needs kid, that seems way more condescending than “he functions at the level of an elementary school child.” Giving a rough age-level equivalent gives the lay reader a concept of the kinds of limitations being discussed without dwelling on the things an individual can’t do or…

Yeah, I mean we’re pretty careful with our dog on the things that are super dangerous for him to eat, but he gets small portions of basically any other type of food as long as behaves for it.

Yeah, whenever our dog decides he wants to nap next to me on the couch while I’m on Zoom (I’m normally on no-video because my wife is doing training demos in the bedroom and I don’t want to harsh her bandwidth) — I quickly switch on my video, announce “special guest star!”, let people “awwww,” and then switch off…

Again, people don’t quit jobs — they quit bosses. And we’re rapidly determining which companies are trying to do the right thing, and which are just... fucking terrible.
