I would be really careful telling random parents that ‘something has happened’ without any evidence. I’ve seen parents get really weird ideas and assumptions about their kids and then run with it, causing all sorts of misery.

There is something more going on here. She’s trying to tell you something. A daughter does not tell her dad she’s not wearing underwear unless something has happened. Maybe not molestation but she’s either seen something she wasn’t meant to see or she’s feeling something that is very confusing for her. This…

It’s the boundary pushing that’s the problem, agreed. She doesn’t sound like she’s a nudist but that she knows her dad hates it. And NO teenager should be telling their father they aren’t wearing underpants.

Um. I think you could maybe have a bigger issue than nakedness on your hands. I’m trying to word this as delicately as possible. Telling your parent you aren’t wearing panties seems less like boundary pushing and more like a sign that someone has molested your daughter. I’m a woman so if I had a 13 year old daughter…

Would it be possible to give her some naked time (an hour after dinner in her room, or whatever) and then frame it as a time/place/manner thing rather than a never do this ever one?

Reading this comment was like riding a rollercoaster of kinja emotions. 👏👏👏 

This might be an unpopular opinion, but stereotypes are often based on a grain of truth. There are a lot of black people where, if you poison their children, they won’t think it’s fair to tell them they have to pay for the poison. Oh wait, not just black people, people in general are like that. Well, whatever.

I’m white and oviously will never use the word to describe anyone or use it casually (Bill Maher I am looking at you). But I find people liberally using the term “n-word” without realizing they are still using the word, when most of the times the term racial slur would do. When it is a case of journalism and reporting…

Also abbreviating a word is basically spelling it out for people to say in their heads. It’s denying the word exists while saying it both at the same time - effectively doing the same with the pain people feel about it. The sentence “government official used the word “nigger”?!?” is perfectly acceptable. It points the…

Even the most serious, dour, and diabolical people like to at least smile and laugh once in a while. Claire doesn’t get that from Frances; I would have expected her to get at least that from Yates. I also really hate that he has the name of one of my most favourite writers.

In what universe would a Claire Underwood romance be a lovey-dovey & jolly affair? Her relationship with Yates perfectly suits her character. Making her tryst a rom-com would make absolutely zero sense to her character model or the show.

I didn’t follow some of the plotlines very closely because I got so bored - Kathy’s was one of them. Speaking of Kathy, what does Francis think is going to happen to Kathy? Those were only about 5 steps...

Right, everytime Claire said, ‘don’t do that Francis’, he does it anyway and it blows up in his face. It’s like Star Trek Worf levels of being right and not being listened to.

Are you really gong to tell all the people who didn’t watch the show that there was only one semi-interesting storyline in season one; between Frank Underwood and Zoe Barnes? What about the Doug Stamper character, or the crooked Rep Russo, or Remy Danton’s complicated relationship with Underwood? There have been…

Robin Wright is awesome. I love how her character has slowly been taking over the show. I though the first season was good, but not great....not as good as the British original (Mostly because I thought the actress who played Zoe Barnes was miscast and couldn’t hold her own against Kevin Spacey. That casting…

Drug Firms Poured 780M Doses into WV. This article laid bare for me the extent to which pharmaceutical companies are straight up negligent in this public health crisis. Shipping 9 million doses to a town of 392 people over two years? Tell me again how they “couldn’t have known.” It’s total bullshit and I hope they’re…

Unpopular opinion: Maher won’t apologize and I like him for that. Time and time again he calls out the left for this kind of sensitivity and infighting that distracts us from the larger issues. Besides his apology would mean jack shit which is why he won’t give it. He’s even taken time on his show to talk about these…

Honestly? I don’t get this position given the man we’re talking about. Why would an apology make this better when anyone who has watched his show should know that he won’t actually mean said apology? The guy hassled his audience for booing at his “joke.” Why would you even want an apology from someone like that? …

I’ll call, but I’m pretty sure Rick Scott’s hands are too busy trying to get into all of our uteri to do anything about climate change.
