“Rand Paul 2016 - When he’s right, it’s for all the wrong reasons”

This may be really terrible to admit - but I think its less about wanting to protect his image in their minds as it is actively believing that women who accuse men of sexual assault are liars, sluts, and manipulators who deserve everything they got/get. In the venn diagram of people who are defending Cosby and also…

Mine was very very tidy in the first flat we lived in together before we got married. I’ve mentioned this to him before and he doesn’t quite understand it either. I think it’s that that flat was *his* flat, in that it was his money in the deposit, etc. He felt more ownership of it. I found this flat for us and moved…

Step I: Collect underpants.

Broken clock?

I said this before, too, but I wonder who will be more hated - a socialist or a woman.

I think you’ve hit on something there - ‘clean as you go’ types, vs. ‘clean time’ people. My partner will decide once a week that it is time to clean, the problem is there is nothing to clean, because I clean up everything as we go along. Example: the deal is s/he who cooks does not clean. I end up having to scrub…

Yeah, I’m a Bernie fan. I like his positions, I’m not sure he’s terribly effective in getting buy-in for those positions, which would be my concern for a Bernie presidency. I asked before but I’d be interested in seeing a breakdown of committees he chaired and how successful he was in that role. I feel like we’ve…

We have a similar issue with underpants. Specifically, underpants which must come off so he can ‘breathe’ in bed, but then end up just being sort of tossed to the side of the bed. I would routinely pick them up in the morning to put them in the hamper. Then I got really busy with school and one day I lifted up our…

We live in England so, this is like a whole category of food stuffs.

My favorite - I got up from my work, picked up a plate, picked up his crumbly bread snack, put it on the plate, and sat back down. Only to watch him pick the his crust of baguette and cheese up off the plate and walk away with it. I found it later on the desk in the bedroom.

Finally! A candidate who believes in protecting our civil liberties from government overreach. He’s been so vocal and visible in his opposition to the militarization of police and the use of excessive force on black bodies. He’s been so active in opposing state-level legislation aimed at limiting women’s access to a…

Oh man - I just got into with my partner today. He is a one man tornado. I know if he’s been in a room because there will be shoes in the middle of it, a sweater dropped on whatever surface is available, jam and butter left out in a pile of crumbs (he is incapable of putting toast on a plate, INCAPABLE), and generally…

It is truly horrific. And there is no booze to get through the wedding, either. Mormons don’t drink and everyone is underage anyway.

Child of Utah here - everyone was married by 18, 20 tops. The Sophmore girls pair up with the Senior boys so that the boys will go off on their missions and then come home to a graduate so they can get married. I’m not even kidding. Most of my 28-29 yr old class mates on on baby number 2, and many are on 3.

My mom used to call it ‘two burnt holes in a white sheet’ - she also referred to the era of one’s life in which this look was popular as the ‘teenage slut phase’, which she insisted was a normal, universal part of teen existence and development.

Also, I’m fucking busy. I feel like if we just do a bit here and there its going to be so much less stressful. He works full-time, I am doing my PhD and working... I’m glad to know other people start the planing early. It makes me feel less weird about it. I’ve always been unexcited about marriage and it feels out of…

We just finalize our venue and date and we are 15 months out. My family live in the states, we are doing the wedding in France (his family) and all of my friends are scattered around the world because I’m an anthropologist and aid worker and everyone moves every 2 years. That said, I have to admit I get embarrassed…

Has anyone else noticed how many Republicans have started to back off their more batshit comments by calling them ‘flippant’? Trump just used it to try to explain away his jab at McCain. Its a really good way to then patronize someone who calls them out for those statements as it characterizes anyone who finds them…
