I agree - this post is way over the top. Barring some dysfunctional family backstory, the adult child owes the parents polite behavior (returning calls, being nice) just as much as the parents owe the adult child polite behavior. Unless the adult child wants to break away from her parents entirely - including…

I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

Yessss!! I’ve been waiting to hear how the matte crayons are! So how are the colors? And no flaking even after several hours?

Oh, hey /pol/, welcome to The Slot. No, fascism is not an expression of the left. I know it’s trendy right now for you clowns to seize on the “socialist” in “national socialist German workers’ party,” but it has as much relevance as random tin-pot dictators calling their governments democracies.

I bought 25. In CD form. It should arrive tomorrow. NO ONE WILL TAKE IT FROM ME.

Read Umberto Eco’s “Eternal Fascism” essay and Hannah Arendt’s “Origins” - then tell me that the Right Wing is not in the midst of a fascist movement.

Nah, you have to get pretty drunk to write believable dialogue for Ice T and thats not healthy

The life of an SVU writer must be awesome, just sitting there waiting for shit to go down.

You mean like planning to move to a country with paid mat leave? But no- you’re right- no middle class people should be procreating. We should definitely leave that to fundamentalists who don’t allow women to work in the first place.

Dude, this is an article about a dead baby. Seriously? You wanna be that guy?

Yeah in the Bareback Community they call in the “Fuck Flu” - flu type symptoms that crop up roughly three to seven days after initial exposure to the HIV virus.

You can get a flu-like illness when you seroconvert but it’s very rare that people figure out it’s anything other than the flu or some other viral illness. For the vast majority of people the symptoms don’t get recognized until late in the game with an opportunistic infection. That’s why screening of asymptomatic…

I’m guessing needles because I’m sure when he has been royally fucked up, he hasn’t been all, “Jeeves! Fetch me a fresh needle!”

Aha. Also, Frontline is such a great series but I always forget to watch it.

Then again, flulike symptoms — headache, night sweats — can occur during seroconversion, which occurs shortly after infection. You’re right, too, though.

I remarked to my girlfriend after she heard about this story that “if I ever get that kind of brain damage from anything, please, pull the plug. I don’t want to survive that.”

To which she said “if I found out you got brain damage after a night in a whorehouse, I’d gladly pull the plug.”

Just go to the bookstore and read it. if someone gives you a side-eye, just narrow your eyes then pretend to talk into the secret mouthpiece hidden in your jacket and look around conspiratorially.

Cruise is a known moron.

Who invited Lurch there in the back?

This is gold! I love it. The image of them scolding Suri, what is that, even?? Seriously, I could read about scientology weirdness all day.
