“Surprisingly, Madison never signed a nondisclosure agreement.”

I’ll take Further Romanticizing An Abuser for 400, Alex.

I normally hate the specious attacks against The Media, but I’m about a mile away from the Denny Hastert shitshow that is currently going down and I’m feeling less warm fuzzies than usual towards The Media right now. I think there’s actually a pretty clear line from reasonable to unreasonable media coverage that is…

2015: when the duck dynasty people turn out to be > the duggars in public discussions of child sexual abuse.

HIPAA!! I always wonder about these things being reported. And like how on earth that NC bill about sending abortion records to the gov’t is legal?! HIPPA is pretty serious, right? I know I’ve had to sign stuff for my mom to have any access to ANY sort of specific records, even with being on her insurance.

I snorted.

No harm, no foul. To the first part of your comment, it IS absurd that so many American’s first thoughts about healthcare hang heavily on cost and personal means. It’s gross. Just pointing out that many of us are aware of how gross it is but don’t see a way out anytime soon. :( The thread was an interesting…

All I read is “middle aged white guy upset he can’t be a dick in public without consequence.”

I think we pretty much all know that and aren’t happy about it, but it’s still a legitimate question for now. No need to remind us how shitty and anti-family our country is for the vast majority of women/families. 😿

Starred for you taking the initiative to email them and posting their response for us. If I ever received something like that in the mail I’d tear it up in a rage and wash down my slutty BC pill with a shot of some sort of booze. You are a better person than me.

Right, right. I rewatched it not too long ago but I have a horrible memory. I don’t know much about Spy, is it possible for me to choose to believe it’s the same character? She’s secretly the lady from Spy in Bridesmaids (could be before or after in Movie Land). Screw it, time is an illusion, I choose to believe this!…

Doesn't she turn out to be some sort of spy or something in Bridesmaids?

You’re my kind of people.

This is excellent. In other news, I’m not super into the idea of weddings (for myself personally, I’m super excited for family/friends... also I can’t imagine myself getting married in the next few years because there is no one anyway...) BUT I kind of find the cake-face-smushing thing endearing. I can completely…

No one “beats” clinical depression. It can be managed with a good deal of success, for sure, but it never goes away. There is also depression that is more directly a result of (a) life event(s) that can be coped with. I’m sorry you went through a period of depression but the way you write about it sounds like it’s not…

The various motivations that may drive someone to suicide are NOT painless. That’s why suicide may *seem* like the only way out for someone in deep emotional/psychological pain. You can “take it or leave it as [you] please” because presumably you’re in a sound state of mind. Good for you, here’s your cookie. Your lack…

Oh, I’m sorry, I missed the lighthearted, humorous part.

Wooooooow.

But she did not kill someone else, she killed herself. She was 13. This is not a case of someone choosing assisted suicide after a battle against terminal illness. Depression and other mental illnesses don’t have to be terminal. She didn’t have the right resources at her disposal, and assholes like you seem to want to…
