Oh, ditto sister. And I am a mother. I don't know if I'm a proud mom. I mean, I yes, I would do anything for my kids. I love them more than I thought I could love anything or anyone. But I'm a mother like billions of other women, and I don't need to post stupid crap like this on FB to make myself feel good about it.

As a person who grew up lower middle class but who will probably end up upper middle or just plain old upper class due to a lot of schooling and some luck, my challenge is keeping my kids from growing up and being selfish entitled assholes who treat poor people like freaks.
Totally. I would not suspect that I had ACTUALLY received a Christmas gift from POTUS.
To all the folks on this thread who are like, "I'm fat but still freezing!" — go get checked for hypothyroidism. Cold extremities and poor circulation, along with weight gain or a difficult time losing weight, are symptoms of that. I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice, but I've known a TON of folks who had…
I'm also built like a chicken
The response to #3 was so sensitively written. Loved it.
Don't worry — I don't feel attacked by you. Just trying to explain the attitude here of leave us all the fuck alone.
Please know I'm not in the business of telling anyone what to do, especially as someone without children, but there is a vibe here at Jezebel whenever alcohol is discussed: It's always Drink at all cost!
See also, from this same article, an excellent analysis in the comments of what Robles' scores actually mean. Looks like she didn't actually out-lift any of the men but one:
Also, I wasn't saying that bodybuilding is healthy. I was saying that, biologically, a male can sustain a body fat percentage — say 5% — that would lead to immediate health problems for a female. Once again, a biological fact.
Uh, no. I mean, yes, these women are outliers. Which is awesome. There's no rule that doesn't have exceptions. Bethany Robles is an amazing example of that. And women should be able to compete with men. That doesn't mean that most women CAN effectively compete with men in most physical competitions. Because of…

I have 2 kids under the age of 3 who attend daycare. In their classes are a Draiden, an Aaiden, a Kayden, and several Jaydens. There are only about 10 kids in the little one's class and about 14 in the big one's class. So out of a sample size of 24, the class is about 25% J/K/Dr/ayden. They seem like nice kids and…
Yes. Thank you.
Oh! Oh! Also — "sear off" or "cook off" — these are cheffy phrases that cheffy people used to indicate that they are searing or cooking stuff, but in a cheffy awesome way. Do you know what the difference is between searing off a flank steak and just fucking searing it? DO YOU!? NOTHING. NOTHING, YOU FOOD SNOB…
This is less an annoying word than my own personal annoyance at its misuse, but can we please all agree to stop saying "downfall" when we mean "drawback" or "problem"? I.e., "Dude, I totally want to buy One Direction tickets! The only downfall is that if I get too close to Harry Styles' face, my vagina might explode…
No worries! To answer your question, the CO (commanding officer) generally is not the person with the authority to convene courts-martial, approve sentences, and overturn convictions. Or at least not in my branch of service, anyway. The CO (a squadron/company commander) is usually, but not always, the person to…
True enough. I am a military defense lawyer, so I understand the panel/jury distinction. But the OP's shock was pretty clearly that CA's could overturn a conviction that had been deliberated on, and adopted by, a jury or jury equivalent, i.e., a panel. I think the panel/jury distinction is not a big one for most…
Sure, but no one was talking about civilian convictions. We were talking about military convictions. Unless you think a military convictions is not a conviction? I have seen that sentiment expressed elsewhere.
