From you:

I think you got my share of ‘loves babies’ when character traits were distributed. I usually try to leave the room (as long as that doesn’t endanger the baby in some way).

Besides the obvious problems with her, which are eye-rolling and cringe-inducing, the phrase SHE-E-O makes me want to stab someone. Its this kind of bullshit, pat cutesy women on their head for having a ‘lifestyle brand’, that serves to keep women out of industry. Why be the CEO of a VC company when you can have a…

That August, sitting on a beach in Connecticut with her parents, she made up her mind. “ ‘Guys, I think I’m going to start a blog,’ ” she told them. “ ‘It’s going to be about women and putting them and their narrative and their story at the forefront and giving them a voice and a platform and just really encouraging…

I hate rich people who get richer and are seen as rags to riches somehow

I don’t think anyone is arguing that they’re different and not equally bad, it’s just that it’s enraging that some people think CK should get away with his career unscathed just because there’s someone worse out there.

I work for the gov’t as a contractor. A friend of mine works for the CDC in the Flu vaccine department.

That was my immediate though as well. I would rather have my dead body be left in the room for a week than have housekeeping services when I’m at a hotel.

So as a country we’ve decided banning/restricting guns in any way is out of the question, but now we’re just going to accept daily room searches like we’re all children at a particularly punitive boarding school? Guests are paying out the nose to stay at Disney resorts, and they’re still going to have to submit to…

I’ll go one further: zero private money for campaigns (whether from donors, from the candidates themselves, from PACs, from corporations, from unions, etc...).

Yes, this is the issue, not Franken. The wealthy donors controlling the conversation on both sides of the aisle is a massive problem to me. Until the country can figure out how to run candidates for elections without spending millions upon millions of dollars this issue is not going to be addressed. Money continues to…

Campaign donation limits = the solution to rich idiots having WAY too much power and influence.

It depresses me that we look at a willingness for evolution whether or not it is seen as calculating is something that people consider a detraction now. I say that above and beyond the standard hypocritical attitudes most in politics espouse. Gillibrand acknowledges her own position changes and the reasons for them…

Actually, I have never read anything of hers. I’m just not a judgmental dickbag.

i’m getting some mileage out of this today...

I work in health care, and I went to an awards ceremony to recognize those who worked on a statewide app to help a vulnerable population access services faster.

I feel its more insidious than that.

*Cheering for carpet*

Exactly, people have different tastes and I wish their show had more variety to reflect that.

That’s so sad. According to my dad, several carpenters (or something similar?) have been quoted in articles about the Gaines saying that they appreciate what Chip and Joanna have done for helping people appreciate architectural details and unique character associated with a certain time period. So that people are more…
