Yeah wow. I'm sad all adult spaces are going to be treated like movies in the park apparently.

My corner bar at 11:30 on a Thursday night is pretty loud, too. No one would hear or be much bothered by a crying baby. Doesn't make it an appropriate place to bring one.

I don't care if she is the calmest baby around, it's still not appropriate. I love kids. I think kids can handle a lot. A loud, crowded professional event is not appropriate for a toddler, period. I wouldn't bring my toddler to a concert or a gallery opening, either. Some things are for adults, and that's okay.

Because it's a professional event, a WORKING event for most attendees, loud, and generally not for children? It's rude, disruptive, and they can certainly afford childcare.

It's not about whether their precious snowflake benefits, it's about being decent to the other adults there. This isn't taking your kid to the drycleaners to pick up clothes with you, introducing them to shopkeepers in the neighborhood. This is disruptive, there's a difference. I have no idea why the aspirational…

I strongly disagree. Humans do not have an unqualified right to go anywhere they want. This is a very postmodern, irrational stance. Some parents are quite terrible at determining what is an appropriate venue for infants, to the detriment of those infants as well as the adults around them. Quite frankly, there are…

It is kind of assy to take a baby to a formal, staged event. Kim and Kanye must think they are above common decency. For people who front like they are all about high fashion, a move like that seems pretty disrespectful of the designers and stagers, not to mention the audience.

Or she is a teetotaling vegan with a bionic heart and kevlar skin, and she will never die.

Yeah I have a food allergy, it means I have to carry an epipen with me at all times in case I go into anaphylactic shock, people faking allergies makes it more difficult for those of us that have actual allergies to be taken seriously.

Callie, have you found any information on where people can donate to Mrs. Whalen's legal defense fund and/or expense mitigation for her family? That would be a very helpful tidbit to highlight if available, thanks!

How long after conception will Plan B work? I thought it was 48 hours. Also, a child can stay on their parents insurance until 26 IF their parents have insurance. Many don't.

Not to mention flat faces cause terrible respiratory issues. My dogs are part pug and they snort like crazy when overly excited and they snore like chainsaws.

Yep, I read that description and it basically translated to,

The only tradeoff is for the human enjoying this animal's cuteness. To answer your Qs (I'm a non-vet but I think I qualify as mild to medium Hardcore dog person): Long healthy life? Most likely not. Certainly not healthy. Organ problems? Oh yeah, probably kidney or heart although this dog's genetics are probably so…

+1.

Poor little dog. It will probably develop seizures or a heart or kidney condition. At least a wealthy person owns him so his medical needs can be met?

People who sell teacup or miniature versions of dogs who don't actually have miniature varieties piss me off. Even the expensive "nice" places are glorified puppy mills…

I was in the same boat, and hated it, so... I pierced mine. Totally not for everyone, I know, but man oh man I love the way they look now with some bling and a bit more of a pronounced look! Plus it made them more sensitive which was a wonderful side effect.

I saw these fuckers in Ottawa, all up and down St Laurent, always satisfying to open the sunroof and flip the whole block the fucking bird.

I live in Canada. Fucking Canada. and this summer we had these anti abortionists standing on the sidewalks of our downtown core holding up signs with bloody fetuses on them. Everyday we'd call bylaw to report them. And unless they were blocking the sidewalks, the city would do nothing. So everyday we lied.

I had to deal with some of these fuckers when they came to my campus on Wednesday, showing off pictures of dead fetuses. They screamed at me, and came uncomfortably close. They also told me my parent's interracial and interfaith marriage was going to go to hell. And that I dishonored them for being gay. So I made a…
