That’s what I hope happened, but from the mom’s account it sounds like neither she or her daughter were aware of the actual joke until it happened? But if the kids were briefed on it, were they told anything at all about the joke? Were they told why it was “funny”? The more I think about it, the sadder I am for the…

I was only half-paying attention for most of the Oscars, but there were a few moments when people (maybe Chris Rock? at least one other dude, too) were calling for more representation/roles/awards specifically for Black people and it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t think it was intentionally exclusive and I…

There are two jokes:

Stop classifying an 8 year old (who likely has no concept of what sexual gratification is) trying to kiss another 8 year old as sexual assault. No one outside of Tumblr or a Jezebel comment section would classify it that way, and I can’t take anything you say seriously when you write that. And you don’t know what the…

His character was, and is, an appropriation of Asian culture

Seriously. A white guy learning kung-fu secrets is even slightly transgressional by stereotype standards. An asian dude with mystic martial arts powers is not.

Not every character Marvel casts has to be a gay black amputee I’m so sorry.

yea but isn’t toilet paper taxed? i mean this is just sales tax right?

Oh my god, that was seriously f-ed up. They really need to regulate surrogacy better. That story was completely insane.

Fucking good. She helped create that child, she needs to support it financially, if not by actually being in its life. Also, I’m glad the judge made this decision, because can you imagine the precedent it would have set otherwise? There’d be men lining up demanding that they don’t need to pay child support to children…

I read this Slate article a few weeks ago and it is totally mind blowing how ill-equipped some states are for all the ethical and legal disputes that can accompany a surrogate pregnancy.

No sympathy. She wouldn’t be the first person who’s had a child with a hated ex. She doesn’t have to be involved emotionally, and it would probably be harmful if she were, but she’s liable for the child’s support.

This whole sad story makes Shepherd seem like the lady version of MRAs who are paranoid about women plotting to steal their sperm.

You are correct that this is non-binding in regards to the San Bernardino case, but your reason is incorrect. The judge said that the AWA could not be used to compel such an action, it made no regard for the severity of the crime. The reason it is non-binding is because this court has no jurisdiction over the San…

I am downright giddy at the thought of being able to put some money aside and properly vet my cat. It’s like I’m Cinderella.

No idea if anyone will even see this cause grey's and all. But I found a lump in my breast, it hurts like a bitch, my doctor couldn't fit me in for two weeks, and I'm pretty much terrified every time I think about it. Halp.

I understand you being upset. But are you subletting the apartment? If you aren’t on the lease (legally responsible for rent/damage/deposits on the utilities contracts) then it’s NOT uncommon for there to be an inequality for rent since you’re able to come and go without notice and you haven’t had to put up the same…

Due to the shittiness of this election, I will be going into hibernation for 4 years. If Trump or Clinton get re-elected, I will extend it to another 4 years.

Hallucinations and delusions? I must have missed a post or two somewhere - I wasn’t aware she was this bad. It’s way out of my area of expertise. Maybe she should be in a hospital?

Does anyone feel like they don’t have friends? I never kept in touch with people from high school or before. Even then, I was never close to anyone. But as a grew up, I never made close relationships. I do have a few acquaintances but I don’t many close people I confide in. 3 maybe 4, and we don’t talk daily or even…

Big Foot does not know this yet but she has a preliminary court date coming up very soon. Her behavior this past week has been enough to make me want to just give up and wander off- I kid you not. She is not sleeping at night again because of the hallucinations and delusions. She waits until daylight and then sleeps…
