I don’t need likeable characters. But what I do need is a show that understands its main character is unlikeable. #girlboss didn’t get its own memo.

For me it was the constant feeling of ‘I’m going to pee my pants’, running to the bathroom and nada then two minutes later same thing happens again.

Funny story: in like 1999, one of the last years the giants were at candlestick, my dad took my brother and me to a game against the reds. I wanna say it was like July or august, but the game was meaningless and was 3/4 empty. We were sitting top deck first row. Now, my dad had been going to giants games his whole…

Did he hand it to you all rolled up, with a lighter? I mean, I’ve tried pot brownies before, I just can’t keep the damn things lit.......

If you want human with your slice, you need to ask for “extra anchovies” at Senor Pizza.

Hello, wrong. It’s state-by-state licensing, so that may be true in your state, but it’s not the same everywhere, and there are many places where direct-entry midwives (i.e., only very recently required to have so much as a high school education) can fully operate in any kind of homebirth...and babies and women die.…

Staff the entire emergency room with black doctors and nurses, then if some asshole demands he get a white doctor, they can go ahead and die.

That’s pretty much got to be the epitome of frank stupidity—you don’t want people who could save your racist, bigoted life to do anything for you....because of the amount of melanin in their skin?! You mean that’s it?! That’s your threshold?? If that’s the case, quit wasting everybody’s fucking time and just stay…

My dad fancies himself a devout follower of Christ. During my obligatory dad’s day call to him he told me he was buying a shotgun for the civil war between dems and repubs that’s coming. He also asked his dog several times if she wanted to kill the neighbor’s dog. Also on a side note, he has terminal cancer and has…

Hey there. Recovering heroin addict here, 10 years clean. It can be done. It’s hard, harder than anything, but possible. I wish you all the best in your struggle. I’m sure you already know this but it can’t hurt to remind you - your addiction does not make you a bad person despite what that idiot upthread thinks. It…

drugs kill us in more ways than OD and pretending otherwise is so nuts it makes me want to throw my computer against the wall.

Me wishing she didn’t die because of her addiction isn’t calling her a bad person BECAUSE she had an addiction.

I would think 32 is too young to enjoy the nostalgia (I don’t mean to sound rude or anything) but you’re my sister’s age, and she doesn’t have the same memories of 80's tv shows and movies because she was too young to really remember them. It was definitely a mashup of all the 80's cliches, but I think it was done…

My dad has never once voted Republican.

My father described his father as an oak tree in his eulogy. Steady, stable, with a quiet dignity. He also described himself.

My dad was especially good with awkward head pats.

That is so cute! He sounds like my late uncle (burly macho man that couldn’t stand to see his family upset but clumsy with emotional stuff).

One time I was arguing with my boyfriend on AIM (lol), and my dad walked in and saw me crying. I was so upset that I didn’t tell him why I was crying. Being my dad and not knowing what to do about my emotions, he left the room and came back with $60 in cash, then laid it down next to my computer and left. Thanks, dad.

I won the jackpot of dads! He is warm, kind, and strict. The best was him modeling what a true partner in a relationship should be. He never scoffed at household chores and shows follow through on everything he does. When my grandmother died and my mom was depressed, he changed his work hours to be home at the same…

Father’s day means a vicious pun-off. You can’t prepare ahead of time because the subject must arise in normal conversation. My mother hates these digressions.
