It sounds like the addiction has gotten worse and increased substance abuse and domestic violence can go hand in hand.

Organgina has some of the best/freakiest commercials

I’ve only seen one or two people in full costume and it’s more than a little disconcerting to talk to dude in a dog mask. I will say that watching pups roll around with each other, play with dog toys, and drink out of bowls is fascinating and one dude had a super cute tail that wagged on it’s own.

I’ve met people who are full time into a kink lifestyle and, honestly, to me it seems more exhausting than fun. But they’ve managed to work it into every aspect of their lives even totally mundane stuff like paying bills and grocery shopping. Apparently this makes having non-kinky friends/family over or going out with…

There was actually a joke about removing the passenger door handle on Are You Being Served. Admittedly it’s an older show and that kind of humor was just considered risque I guess but it was unnerving to hear one of the characters say that he was removing the door handle so that his date couldn’t easily get out of the…

I wish adult meds tasted like candy. My current birth control pill tastes gross if I fail to swallow it right away. Same with one of the old buproprion generics. I can understand the concern since you don’t necessarily want kids to associate candy with medicine but if a kid really needs the medicine this would make it…

Like the other poster said, it’s a trope in dating sims and some manga just like it is in some rom coms. Person is obsessed, person stalks object of their obsession/gives them gifts/protects them from some threat, object of their affection realizes how wonderful this person is and falls in love. It feeds right into…

Sometimes I think the difference is that, when grow up around people who hunt, you see what a rifle can do. You connect the rifle with what it’s for in real life. You also have it drilled into you head that a gun is not a toy and it’s unlikely that the people around you are going to sit around playing with a gun. It’s…

I was also being unnecessarily snarky. Sorry about that. It sucks being underemployed and chasing the carrot on the stick that is the raise/promotion. I hope you find something better soon

I’ve started doing this off and on. It’s helped me be more cognizant of random spending and avoid overspending because I don’t make multiple trips to stores or actually plan out purchases better.

I’m guessing it’s more about the random spending that starts to add up rather than regular bills. Even if you have very little income, finding a way to cut down on some expenses - if you have them - is a good thing and it can become a habit that you carry over when you start making more. If you have no spare income…

The just wear black thing, the no horizontal stripes, the loose clothing to conceal flaws thing. I hate the idea that somehow not wearing or wearing certain things is supposed to make me look less fat. No. I just look like a fat person in a black one piece, vertical striped pants, and ‘big’ shirts. Personally I feel…

Not surprising. Camille has a lot invested in being Mrs. Cosby and she has no intention of giving that up.

Solid except for the gaping donut whole, rising premiums, and denials for expensive or brand names medicines. Medicare part D is was a confusing mess from the start. I regularly help my patients navigate through the paperwork and apply for programs to assist them with medications that aren’t covered by their plans.…

I’m still annoyed by that.I liked the idea of having a black scientist especially since, according to interviews with Ernie Hudson, his character was supposed to be a scientist and go reduced to ‘everyman’. It would have been nice to have a black particle physicist or parapsychologist. The whole black people are real…

What? It was funny because it was a comedy which, by definition, is trying to be funny. There were plenty of one-liners, physical comedy and reaction shots that were clearly trying to be funny. Honestly, some people will find any reason to justify hating this movie - it’s too funny, it’s not funny enough, we don’t…

Considering how difficult it can be to obtain an abortion early in a pregnancy, this throws up just one more barrier. Now the cut off is 5 months. Then it will be 4, then 3. The goal is to end all abortions eventually. Abortions at 5 months are extremely rare and are often needed because the fetus is not viable or the…

I want more people to teach their sons this, too. And to teach them to deal appropriately with rejection without throwing a temper tantrum.

I think most women wish more men had your response. Maybe then people would be able to communicate more clearly and there wouldn’t be so many mixed messages. Unfortunately, it’s hard to break out of how we’re socialized and the possibility of being shot or assaulted makes women wary of a direct, firm refusal. Maybe…

People are morons. She was with her mother at someone’s house. It’s not like she was left wandering around somewhere. Mom did the responsible thing and took her daughter with her, to someone’s house, while mom did someone’s hair. How about we focus on the asshole with the gun who’s ego was so bruised by rejection that…
