She’s pro trump so I’m not sure you’d want to hear her rant on this :(

I kind of want Roseanne to butt into this conversation and tell Tom to shit or get off the pot. She keeps it pretty real and I’d enjoying hearing her take on all of this.

I am sending this to my Republican conservative Dad.

This year has destroyed the small bit of respect I had for evangelicals. You vote 3:1 for the walking embodiement of all seven deadly sins and then say I can’t have an IUD because of Jesus? Fuck off.

The main takeaway from this election: the bulk of Mormons genuinely believe the ethical redlines in their scriptures, the bulk of evangelicals are exactly the craven amoral fucknuts everyone else has always suspected.

Ha! Exactly. I appreciate the feminist angle. I have a brother and a sister, both married with teenage children, and both in another state. All I have to do is spend a holiday with them to know that for me, single is the preferred status at this juncture. I find the lack of boundaries between spouses, parents and…

My one cousin is with a guy who doesn’t work and he doesn’t hel with the house or their child. She works and does those things. To me, it’s not worth it to have someone who’s not going to help. They actually broke up but he came back. I was disappointed when she took him back.

Early 30s here, I’ve realized over the past few years that I don’t particularly want romantic relationships anymore.. Personally, I’m quite happy with my single life. I like doing my own thing, I like the peace and quiet of not having to stress about someone else or share space. I like the loving relationships I have…

I’m just a lowly almost-30-year-old, but I think one of the most useful things my retired dad ever told me was “the only people my age who actually still need to work for money are people who have been divorced”. I realize that’s a fairly privileged outlook and there are lots of people both single and married who have…

I have a friend of 17 years who is 53 now. It is only in the last couple of years that she seemed to feel comfortable with not pretending that she was looking for someone. As you say, she has made a life in the company of friends, family, pets and herself.

Samsies. I took myself off the market when I realized I didn’t want to marry or have any LTR romantic relationship. Dating was simply more trouble than it was worth. Friends, family, pets, and my own self is perfectly satisfactory.

Here’s how I deal with people who think Mrs. Shoe Pilot and I are looser for having chosen to not bring little baby Shoe Pilots into the world.

Over 60 years old here… relationships have come and gone, but at least I can say I’ve escaped the legal and financial consequences of marriage.

Agreed. But as others noted, there is a societal pressure to reach milestones like marriage and procreating. For those of us who don’t, we’re made to feel like we failed at adulting, that there’s something wrong with us because we e failed to find a partner. There is still a societal stigma to being single and…

Nothing wrong with being alone, nothing.

What is it with other people being so goddamn shitty about other people lives and their lifestyle choices? These are the same people who can’t imagine a married couple being childless by choice. Not everyone wants the same things in life but that doesn’t mean their lives are without content.

I can’t believe Tucker Carlson was ever a thing

Deeply entrenched gerrymandering coupled with a DNC that abandoned Dean’s 50-state Strategy...

Yes. And to the person in the greys who has noted that this has happened under Obama’s watch, I would note that the US does not control either the world or the region. President Obama has rescued the US economy, provided health care to your citizens, achieved a deal with Iran preventing nuclear conflict, seen an end…

Look, Americans have to make up their minds about international interventions.
