Ba ha ha...when I was a kid, we weren’t allowed to watch The Simpsons because it would “make us disrespect authority”. I don’t currently kowtow to authority in the end... Also: Carrie Fisher, Awesome Writer. I read Postcards from the Edge and other stuff by her in high school, and it opened the adult world and made a…

Yeah, charisma is a helluva drug. I have a friend (who is a lesbian) who says “oh yeah, I would totally blow Bill Clinton if given the opportunity.” She met him briefly once and said that the interpersonal charm was unreal. How anyone has time for that much screwing around when they’re the POTUS and all, I don’t know.

Please tell me that we have reached peak self-satire. I can’t even fathom what more would look like.

This is really good, thank you. As somebody who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I see ads for Truvada and people talking about not wearing condoms, and it makes my hair catch on fire. It’s like, WUT? You can’t do that! It was so ingrained in us to prevent prevent, but it’s worrisome that prevention isn’t so emphasized now…

How does it compare with @probirdrights, tho?

Yeah srsly, “mommies” blechhh. I am a mid-30s married woman without kids, and the thing that icks me out as much as the idea of being pregnant and giving birth and worrying about how my sweet egalitarian life with my spouse would change is the role they are supposed to take and the condescension people show to (almost…

Yeah-I see a lot of posts about Shakeology from this woman I knew in high school who does beach body, about how it is ok for her digestion while “traditional protein powders” (wut) make her fart and “endanger her marriage” so she had to “sleep on the couch” (I’m like HOW DO YOU KEEP HIM WARM AT NIGHT LAYDEE but anyway…

Kudos to them, really important to have some safety and comfort features. But did anybody look at this and immediately thing “hm, that’s a pretty luxurious porta-john/multi-sitter” or was it just me?

ha ha haaaa like Arnold Lobel’s secret entomology fables/now even creepier than the original.

Yeah it sounds like a dietary supplement drink for people who do BeachBody (which I only know about b/c Facebook) but secretly makes you fart a lot, but no one admits it.

Oversized pirate pants from the thrift store that ok show my buttcrack when I bend over but that are big enough to make me forget completely about my thighs and a baggy t-shirt with holes in it. If I’m feeling classy I’ll be wearing a sports bra.

I know plenty. But yeah, the job thing is the harder part, that’s not a negligible concern...

Yeah, you’re right that the violent crime rate has gone down so much. But relative to other countries in similar socioeconomic positions, it still seems like there’s an awful lot of really bonkers violent stuff. Maybe we just see a lot more coverage than in the past...

It might prevent some of them. But then, effective gun control would probably also help too, but well, that would be silly.

Dear Americans who still live there: has it gotten worse? Coz I live elsewhere and it sure seems like it, from everything I read. I feel like we’re 2 steps from public dueling becoming a thing again. For all its fusty sclerosis, Europe is gonna be where I stay, I think-I’m not the fittest, and I’m certainly not going…

Carbonated drinks give me gas. Maybe the moms has a delicate GI tract...

Facts have a well-known liberal bias.

argggggg;oiaejf;oaiejf urrrrkkk that’s FOUL. I hope you got a refund. gee, next time I need an appetite suppressant, I’ll think of that and pearl onions.

Just, you know, save it for a non-appetite-related time. Hurrrrk.

Oh Shit the Jello-O molds...this is a horrible thing to say but when my gramma’s senses were starting to fail, she would serve....crunchy jell-o molds, because she couldn’t quite tell when the jello-o powder was thoroughly mixed. she was also notorious for putting sugar on salads. there were coleslaws with more parts…
