I took my three-year-old daughter to her pediatrician.

Babies crying can reach up to 130 dB.

So, having children also increases risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

Heightened stress, diminished sleep, lack of exercise, very loud most of the time...unless, they’re getting into something they most certainly fucking shouldn’t be but you can’t figure out how they made it

Is there a word in some other language that captures the feeling “I always hated this guy, and I feel both sad and smug knowing they are the trash heap I suspected they were”?

Yeah, agree about the reaction to his words and attitude.

It is so wonderfully cheesy!

Going only by the trailer I swear the movie was meant to be a remake/reboot for a new Deep Blue Sea franchise (greedy for that sweet Sharknado money?) and for some legal reason after it was completed they had to rename it. Even for a lazy “just tick off all the same boxes cause that is what folks want” type sequel it

I was 3 years old when the accident happened, living in Kiev with my family.

As I recall the security of the Exclusion Zone is only beefed up now because of dickheads who wanted to have their own private S.T.A.L.K.E.R or All Ghillied Up fantasies and kept fucking about in what is effectively a giant deathtrap.

I’m going to miss the commercials. I want the Eagles to win so people will stop comparing Tom Brady to Michael Jordan. They really have gone peak whiteness. I think I’ll hard pass on the State of The Union tonight, too.

It doesn’t get any more “WTF were the early 90s even about?” awesome than the Lisa/Barry White duet

Oh to be young and be able to stay awake past 9p. I remember those days. . . :-)

It could have been worse, they could have chosen Beyoncé.

After those men left, a youngish white couple, male and female, dressed in their vacation clothes who had been sitting there all along decided to chime in. But to like, thank me.

This man was horrible and it makes me angry for you that he put you in this position and refused to back down but also, I am cackling at your description of the bug killing and the ensuing silence and apology. You really do have to shame the fuck out of them sometimes (which...we shouldn’t be required to do).

Yes, exactly.

In most social interactions, hard “no’s” are relatively rare. We have a ton of techniques, verbal and nonverbal, to try to defer, deflect, de-escalate our way out of things without having to literally give people a hard “no”. Women especially are socialized to use soft alternatives and not “make a scene” or “be a

Honestly, I think the direction they went was kind of wrong-headed from the start.

My view is that the reason men are reacting so badly to this accusation is that most guys who see themselves as decent people can easily look at Weinstein and think “I’ve never done something so awful and disgusting” but they hear this sort of accusation and they start to realise they have done this so it can’t be

My favorite response to this line of thinking is something James Baldwin said:
