Apparently you haven’t stabbed yourself with a pin while working on a sewing project before.

Yes it’s a hard lesson to learn: with roller skating don’t let your confidence overtake your actual experience. I myself hit a rock about 2 months ago, and ended up in urgent care getting x rays because I was pitched forward and ate the pavement. Luckily my arm was not broken (I always wear safety gear), but I’m still…

She should have been upfront when asking for the sample that her team was working on a “similar” version. Then Perez could have actually made an informed decision about whether to share her design with a competitor - it doesn’t seem like she realized that’s what she was doing, and that’s where I see malfeasance (not…

In what universe does the President of the United States send good wishes to someone accused of procuring under age girls for convicted pedophiles?

I find it ironic that that scene was based on the behavior of two grown men, who, I’m sure, would never see themselves in two teenage girls.

I did Martha’s tequila-soaked watermelon wedges with the first watermelon I ever grew, and it really turned quarantine around. They give no buzz at all, since each watermelon wedge probably provides like 1/3 teaspoon tequila per wedge, but they are delicious, and we just keep them on hand prepped in the fridge now. Tha…

There’s a Harper’s article from 2017 that fleshes her out.

My brother-in-law is like this. Not necessarily a bad person, but has tried out what feels like every religion/cult under the sun (Scientology, Mormonism, Catholicism, and Hillsong are all on the list) and has swung between supporting conservative, traditional politics to bemoaning the environment we are going to…

She didn’t talk about immigration in apocalyptic terms or about the forces of Satan polluting America. She didn’t make “kangz” jokes.

Read Sapolsky’s book Behave, about the biological underpinnings of human behavior. One point he makes is that humans (like many other primates) are hierarchical. But human society has a lot of different hierarchies at play - there are socioeconomic hierarchies, racial hierarchies, gender hierarchies. And people tend…

I’ve noticed this, too. It’s just anecdotal, but it’s like some people put their toe into adulthood, don’t like it, and go back to the comfort of other people making all their decisions for them. And it always seems tied to some religious “awakening.”

Did she come from a pretty conservative family background? There’s always a few folks who go back into that after a more progressive period in their twenties, especially if they get into a conservative branch of religion that feels like home because of their childhood, or have some kind of personal crisis.

By the same age as X AE A-Xii, German babies are already eating with a spoon and managing train schedules with incredible efficiency. At 2, they begin smoking filterless cigarettes, dressing in all black, and pondering the meaningless of existence.

This is horrific. I know someone who represents women targeted by gender-based violence, and who was stalked and harassed by this murderer for years. I have an absolute chill running down my spine.

I think it’s a couple things.

I work at a University and a colleague is a professor and 27 years old! I guess if you get a PhD done in 5 years after graduating undergrad at 21-22 years old, it lines up. I’ve read about how women, including women of color, are often treated like they “don’t belong” as faculty on campuses and are assumed to be…

Yeah, he’s definitely the type who, if you said I like baseball, would say prove it! Name all the National League teams! 

I will now devote my life to getting the phrase, “Well that really grills my peaches” into the national lexicon.

This whole thing is such a ginormous cluster fuck. The personnel they sent aren’t trained to deal with protesters. The state is now suing the federal government for its actions, which I only hope will be successful to prevent this bullshit elsewhere.

Speaking from experience here... Clever abusers ALWAYS abuse behind closed doors while painting themselves as friendly and loving. Idiotic ones might have their abuse on full display, but it is entirely possible Depp’s staff was unaware of how he was treating her, if true. I don’t think Depp is particularly idiotic.
