Here in Alaska hunting is a hipster thing because it's kind of an everybody thing. Kill one moose and you can feed your family for the winter, pretty much. And there's a big duck hunting culture here as well which hipsters can participate in.

I'm pretty sure you mean peddle the message of Jesus, but I am tickled at the idea of pedaling the message of Jesus as well.

1. I love the UK/Irish spelling of the word 'tonne/ton'. SO ELEGANT.

The main problem I have with your statement is that I don't believe that declining resources are actually linked to growing populations. Rather, they're linked to an increased standard of living, particularly in countries like China and India, which are doing the same thing the US did — developing a big middle class,…

Dude. You should get married before the baby comes or at least get yourself an airtight healthcare POA before then so that, if shit hits the fan, he can make decisions for you if he needs to. I would not have wanted to go into the hospital without knowing that my dude could be my advocate if necessary.

I love you. You and your data.

I was conceived on a family trip to Disney World. Pretty gross.

I'm glad it's working out for you. I tried to get one before I had kids and could.not.get.that.thing.inthere. Like, shrieking, pain, lots of blood, and the doctor just gave up. After kids? Fucking cakewalk. So the small/hard/closed cervix thing can be a real concern.

Y'all, I don't think IFMOB was saying that Evans should totally have had the baby. (S)he was just lamenting that people like Evans, who is obviously a nutcase with a lot of problems, end up being the poster child for abortion.

This doesn't have to do with the US population. It has to do with how the global population has changed the climate. It's a bad thing for everyone.

For Christ's sake, no.

Read again. I said I DON'T think it would be inadmissible. :) Perhaps I should have said that it would be perfectly admissible.

(Please take this in the gentle, non-hectoring way that your best friend might say it):

Dude, go to grad school! Kidding but also not kidding. Grad school is a seriously awesome place to meet folks. I met my husband in our first year of law school and I know several other couples who met in the first year and are now married and/or living together. Grad school is like college, but without the horrendous…

Termination appeal hearings are usually administrative matters that don't follow the rules of evidence.

Mine too. But my excuse is that I'm a lawyer. I don't think it would be inadmissible in court, funnily enough. It's just that accuser could also face charges (unlikely).

It ain't just you crazy Italians. Catholics in the US have to do this too. It was a major factor in my decision not to get married in the church. I just couldn't see spending multiple days being counseled on marriage stuff by someone who has never been married.

Thank you for saying this. I have not had fertility problems, but some of my relatives have, and the cost of adopting domestically was going to be way more than the cost of a few rounds of IVF. Plus all the investments in time and the stress of the whole terrible process. I think IVF is a rational economic and…

The problem is that your analogy makes no sense whatsoever. Jameis Winston's case was never adjudicated. The Davis' divorce was. I haven't seen the complaint, but adultery is a basis for divorce in TX. If the judge had believed that Davis cheated, he would have assigned fault in the divorce to her on that basis. He…

Giggling so fucking hard at this.
