I’m really sorry you’re going through all this, but I think it’s crazy to tell women have have babies by age 30. I didn’t even get married until I was 31, what should I have done, popped out a baby at 22 with some random guy I had no feelings or connection with and then been a single mom while finishing college/going…

I believe it was a woodchuck

Did you not watch it? She was fed misinformation and the DNA evidence proved that it wasn’t Avery.

Although the contention that six people died during the search for Bergdahl is a widely-held belief by the public, it is incorrect:

I don’t know if you’ve been listening or not, but if you haven’t, Bergdahl has given about 25 hours of phone interviews to a guy who wants to make a movie about him, and that guy has given Serial access to all of those tapes. They play a lot of them on the show, and Bergdahl is explaining step by step exactly what…

Oh god, the autoplay! All three at once? I thought we were friends?!

My Dad’s family was from the southern Midwest, and some of the folks down there were uneducated, poor and rural. A nearby family had daughters named Margarita and Dacquiri. A couple years later we visited again and their new baby was named Chablis.

The people who are railing against your honest admission are omitting the fact that every college acceptance committee and job recruiter will be doing the exact same thing, with far less inhibitions to treat everyone the same regardless of how ridiculous their name is.

Excellent roller derby name!

It's weird that you are being so hostile about this. It sounds like we agree entirely. And we weren't talking about YOU but about names in general. Plenty of people DO name their kids embarrassing things (and some name them offensive things though that is way less common).

You don't need anyone's opinion to name your kid for sure. Certainly not some random person on a message board. None of that changes the fact that your kid will have to walk around in life with the name you give them, for better or for worse. And there is no reason to be insulting.

And btw, I’m not full of shit about this. Anything, when it comes to individuals, is not going to live up to stereotypes. But I taught school for nearly a decade and then subbed for nearly a decade more (and subbing is interesting because you see over a hundred rosters a year) and you definitely start to notice all…

I pity her, she’s been raised not to see or know about the very real options she has.

I was warned before taking my current job with Planned Parenthood it would be polarizing for future employers. Jokes on them. I’m never quitting.

Um...have you ever *been* to a yoga class or studio? If so, can you please let me know how many of the attendees/students are wearing bindis and/or henna? Because I seriously doubt your claims. Yoga is more than ‘eastern mysticism’ for most western folks. Yoga is also exercise, both physical and mental.

This person is clearly trolling. Don’t engage!
