For me, it’s like this: I remember the shenanigans I got up to as a teenager and the thought of WeePiglet doing stuff like that HORRIFIES ME. Mostly because I’m not sure I’m doing a good job of teaching her what’s good and what’s not good and there’s no way to know for sure if I’m getting it right. It’s TERRIFYING.…

TEXAS. YOU GUYS. The teens are sexing. They have always sexed. They will continue to sex. They are never not trying to get stuff in and around their junk.

Give them condoms, teach them emotional intelligence, take the shame out of learning about their bodies. Everybody just fucking chill and nobody will get…

I think in the US they push pretty hard for at least one overnight. I delivered my son around 5 AM and I feel like they would have been none too pleased with me asking to go home that afternoon or evening. Of course that would have spared me a night of listening to my husband bitch about sleeping on a hospital easy…

GET THE PRESIDENT OF FLORIDA ON THE PHONE

Every shit-trough of Crazy has a few diamonds of Truth sprinkled through it!

Spoke to my father about this just a few hours ago. He was a police officer for 20+ years. He never shot his gun in that entire time and he said that if you are afraid of a cell phone, you should probably find another career besides being a police officer.

“Any police officer especially would have reacted in the exact same way I reacted”

exactly this, and i definitely should have included that point in my original post—the mere fact of being able to access those vegetables... and then making those choices with the allotted amount... implies a level of food security that is deeply misleading.

They should have a marketing campaign where they donate that stuff with mosquito nets to malaria-plagued countries.

Yup, I have a very clear memory of asking my mom “why is is fin bent down?” and her answering “it means he’s not happy”.

stopping a small child from implanting

It reminds me of that state senator (one of the Carolina's, maybe?) who proposed an amendment to an abortion law. The law was that any woman seeking an abortion had to get a transvaginal ultrasound. So she added the amendment that any man seeking a Viagra prescription had to get a colonoscopy.

Dear State of Arkansas: file child abuse charges against these scumbags posthaste, because isolating a child for hours on end IS abuse.

I come from a HUGE family, half of which still live in Oklahoma. Yeah, you know this is about you, You. There was a rift in the 50s over a bunch of money from some business endeavor and that story itself is insane, but it came up at my cousin's wedding when I was 15. She had specifically stated NO FLASKS on the…

I was babysitting when a kid bit my hand and as I jerked it away I slapped him in the face.

I'm told that when I was two or three, I was bobbling down the hallway in our house, drooling and eating my fist. (I was one of those babies that spent the first four years with at least one fist in my mouth. There are photos to prove this.)

Unless "the quiet game" looks like this, then no, they really don't.
