Agreed, 100%. Not only does everyone get to decide who they are without anyone telling them they’re wrong, they also get to decide the pace of their process without anyone chivvying them along. Is that really so hard?

CUCUMBERS LIVEIN THE SEA.

And that’s fucking dumb. Fly 100 feet away, pick up a few cars throw that shit at Batman.

This is a very good post but I have to ask (tongue slightly in cheek): have you seen Zack Snyder’s movies? They are nihilistic and misogynistic first and foremost. Not to mention utterly vapid and shallow. All of them. Watch them all through that lens and your post applies perfectly. Even the so-called ‘good’ Dawn of…

Are you a Bluth? Damn.

Waiting at the airport for a flight. There’s a line of about 10 people at the counter that were delayed from an earlier flight. Some dude pushes past the line and screams at the desk agent that, “(He) has to be on this flight! And it has to be first class!” Agent tells him that she can help him but he need to wait in…

EVERYBODY.

I guess if it’s specifically limited to those who claim conscientious objector status it’s alright, but I do take issue at a basic level with the idea that the solution to anti-vaxxers is removing resources from poor people.

If this is true, I am the filthiest, filthiest woman in the world.

Flying on a plane with your period is just irresponsible. You want to attract flying bears? Because that’s how you attract flying bears.

THIS is exactly what I came in here to say. IF you have the copious time to whip what you can afford on that stipend into something delicious, chances are you're not on SNAP.

Did the lifeguard have a blue or green tinge? Did he leave footprints behind in the sand? Did your boyfriend look away, only to look back and the lifeguard is no longer there? Did his voice sound at all like the noise you hear when you put a conch shell up to your ear?

I'd wear the shit outta that dress now, 24 in 2015! It's adorable

Oh, I always tip much, much more for my kid—last weekend I tipped the stylist about 80% on haircuts for my toddlers. The little one was so squirmy—and she was a total champ (both skills-wise and attitude). Grooming kids is a full-contact sport!

Some of the smartest thoughts on the interwebs about parenting up above. Good stuff.

Mine were both bottle fed exclusively, and at 6 wks they were in their own rooms, sleeping through the night. I don’t give two fucks what people think of me. Worked for us. They’re 14 and 11 now and healthy, happy adolescents (insofar as adolescents can be happy). As your kids get older, the mommy wars bs matters…

I think asking an anxious new parent if they “have the guts” to take on a challenging parenting technique is, by definition, being an asshole. The only adequate response to any pediatrician who asks such a thing is, “No. I’m a pussy. Now show me some empirical evidence of what is best for my child.”

I kind of want to sleep train at 8 weeks just to spite the sanctimommies who would hate me for it. I might go exclusively bottle fed, too.

Biggest point of contention: babies are not all the same. They have different needs.

For some reason, I read this entire article as if it concerned Britney Spears the first time through. It was very confusing until I looked closer.
