I was also born in 1976, and I totally agree with you. Except, since Leia was my hero, this movie just proved that what I have always thought was right - Leia is the heart of the Star Wars universe, not just the heart of the Resistance. Yes, Luke is “supposed” to be the hero, but it has always really been Leia. She…

We totally learned about evolution at my Catholic school too! There are also a lot of progressive nuns in the Church. We really need to let them lead the way.

Confession is a game-changer! More religions really ought to have it, might make them more tolerable. (I’m a recovering Catholic. There’s a lot I really dislike, but from my perspective, it is so much better than evangelism).

In the slice of America I grew up in, Catholics were overwhelmingly lower or just-barely middle class (my theory is all the damn kids they kept having), and worked in the trades. Which meant they were in unions. And, while they didn’t use birth control or support abortion, it wasn’t their place to tell other people…

I get this, but Black women are finally getting the recognition they deserve for doing so much of the heavy lifting. Isn’t that good? And maybe that recognition will (hopefully) make people realize how much we need their leadership? And maybe we’ll let them lead and amplify their voices instead of just shouting out…

It is so frustrating! I wish I knew how to design and sew them myself.

How many of those Presidential Proclamations were ceremonial in nature - honoring veterans or calling attention to a public policy issue? Declaring November 15 “America Recycles Day” isn’t quite the same as an executive order in most instances. You’re reaching here.

I hate this because I am a 34G (edging into GG territory) - but in UK sizing. I buy mainly off of figleaves.com, with is UK-based. So in US sizing I’m a 34I...which no one carries. I have tried to go up to 36FF...but that’s still an H cup here in the old US of A. 38 band size would be too big.

Very cool - is it also on one of the podcast apps like Apple, Stitcher, etc?

It’s not every movie, asshole. You don’t have to fucking watch this category. For fuck’s sake

This is probably the best idea. It would also be helpful in the case where you are unconscious without ID and the hospital is just trying to figure out your name and contact person.

Wallets get stolen and people fall ill in situations when they don’t have their wallet with them. In this gentleman’s situation, it sounds like he had no identification on him whatsoever. The hospital didn’t even know his name. Having a card in your wallet does not solve the problem.

Most people don’t carry their DNR with them every day. Regarding bracelets, those can be stolen or otherwise removed from your person. Tattoos are more or less permanent. I think OPs suggestion of including some sort of identifier that is linked to state records that can be easily searched by hospital staff is a…

I like the lights, the songs,the cookies, and the candles with “holiday” scents. I don’t mind giving gifts if it were just one small gift. I’m good with moving the holiday to January or February. Let’s put lights up at the solstice and keep them up til the equinox. And make it inclusive so that no one feels left…

I agree 100%.

Excellent point and all things I should have thought of. It just seems like in all the other reports, the allegations were made public almost immediately. I’m suspicious of everyone right now. And I trust no one. Kidding...kind of.

I wish they would give more details on the inappropriate behavior - was it a lewd comment, groping, rape? Do they only have one accusation or are there multiple accusations? I feel like any way I try to explain this I will be called an apologist. Inappropriate behavior is just so vague; and extremely subjective. …

I did too. I had focused on the “1 day after...” bit. Almost every headline reads that way though. I think it makes the firing sound fishy, including that in the headline. But, they want those clicks, so...

I didn’t know about the digital erasing of facial hair and DEFINITELY noticed something was off with his face. I even mentioned it to the friend I saw the movie with. I thought he had plastic surgery done or too much Botox. His mouth just did not look right. It barely looked human.

I agree. I wish my family also agreed. I decided to make the 5 hour drive tomorrow morning, so I would much rather not leave at 5am (one hour time difference).
