I love Patton and I really want to watch his new special. This is so sad. I think watching his show may have to wait a minute. :( Gah, he loved her so much. My heart goes out to him and his daughter.

Honestly, no matter how prepared you think you are, you’re not. Not really. My Dad had been sick for a few years before he died, cancer and emphysema and ulcers, he was under 100lbs when he died. He died in his sleep in the car when I was 12, we were taking him to the hospital because he said he felt funny but he…

At least when someone dies of a long illness you kind of have time to prepare. But waking up and realizing you're significant other has died would be... I don't even have the words. I guess the one good thing was that person died at home, quickly with someone they loved right next to them.

Oh, I’m so sorry for you. You were only 5 and you did what 5 year old do.

I almost died as a child from a vaccine-preventable disorder. Did you? I doubt it. I would love you to have a conversation with my mother who would tell you the same thing I will: Stfu.

I said this on another thread, but some zoos do actually help and protect animals. I’m actually not the biggest zoo fan, but hearing of the work the San Diego Zoo and others have done has changed my mind a bit. These tigers are dying out and a lot of zoos have gone into the “business” of cultivation and sustainability…

Forget zoo enclosures - tiger talk show?!

Fuck zoos.

I have always felt that it must be terrible to constantly hear “I would rather my child be dead than be like you”, which is exactly what these people are saying to people on the spectrum.

In 2011, there was a rather big outbreak of measles in the Somali refugee community in Minnesota. Many of the cases were children too young to be vaccinated. As Minnesota public health officials tried to encourage the entire Somali community to vaccinate and stop the outbreak, what did Andy Wakefield — not a doctor…

“Immune overload” lol.

It is OK to love your autistic child for who he is, Mr. De Niro.

As a mom of a child with autism I find it mind-boggling that parents of non neurotypical kids jump on the anti-vax wagon. Because the message of the whole movement is: “It’s better to risk the life of your child than to wind up with one with autism”. It’s so unbelievably disloyal to your children. My son is perfect…

“Toxins”

Implies that she thinks discussing the situation as a whole is obnoxious, like what Kate Winslet said a while ago, without any hint of the nuance in her answer. If I just glanced at the headline I would think she was criticizing the current trend of discussing pay disparity.

“It’s hard for me to speak about my experience as a working woman because I can safely say my problems aren’t exactly relatable. When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I…

It definitely doesn’t seem like my cup of tea, but losing a child is something so awful that I can’t bring myself to judge anything that might bring comfort.

It was even more hilarious when Fran Drescher was kicked out “on her fanny” in the theme song to her to series “The Nanny”

Otto: Oh, you English are *so* superior, aren’t you? Well, would you like to know what you’d be without us, the good ol’ U.S. of A. to protect you? I’ll tell you. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that’s what! So don’t call me stupid, lady. Just thank me.

Fanny does indeed mean lady parts. We laugh when you say fanny pack because that means a package of fannies. We call it a bum bag.
