Babies can't run for President, luckily

Babies are really basic though. They don’t do manipulation until they are much older. They don’t have a sense of you as a separate person to manipulate until they are 9 months or more (which is when separation anxiety kicks in, and they realise you leave sometimes). They just want milk/reassurance/to get back to sleep…

When babies are very small, they are not even capable of manipulating us in that way. I’m not sure at what age they are, but when a baby cries, it has a need, either hunger, cold, wetness, or just a need to be held.

It sounds pretty sadistic, yup, especially since even new parents don’t need 12 hours of sleep a night. So why leave the baby alone for 12 hours?

Icing on the cake: he cried in the courtroom.

He’s like all the Breitbart crowd that have showed up on Jez and taken over on the Gawker comments.

You realize that most people (excluding yourself, obviously) can hold more than a single thought in their head? And that they can bitch and moan on the Internet AND go and vote when the time goes?

I don’t really know what your point is, with this very long rant. Are you saying that obviously liberal sites, where the majority of the commenters will be voting democrat, mocking conservative politicians is somehow damaging to the liberal cause? Because I don’t really see how that could be the case.
The point of this…

Can’t do it. He’s too busy at the wheel.

And yet, you're commenting here. Can't you do more with your time?

Oh Jesus. So I moved to the UK last summer and being American, I get asked in this accusatory tone all the time, “Do you like Hershey’s??” Some people go ballistic when I’m like, *shrug* It’s fine. I’ve sat through so many lectures on the wonders of British chocolate versus American style milk chocolate. “Are you done…

My dad is a fairly liberal science nerd who’s always open to learning about new things. He told me a few weeks ago that he learned the word “cisgender” and told me that he was glad he learned it (and that it made etymological sense. Nerd!). We were talking about Israel and Palestine, and he explained to me that part…

And yet, for an idiotic, arrogant candidate with a Messiah Complex, it makes a lot of sense.

I think these pictures sum up Ted Cruz nicely:

So basically, actually posting the pictures didn’t get him in any trouble, it was the extortion racket he was running on the side that got him charged.

He made $900 a month?! So the allure of doing this was just to be a complete jackass objectifying women? I don’t get it.

That's a fair point, actually. I think the counter isn't just that their product looks like water, but that is is water. At least other products require some sort of process to take the water and turn it into a thing that isn't water—we're much more ready to accept that as a viable product because some process,…

I wonder how this would shift if we adjusted it from "what people are making" to "what we expect that lifestyle to look like." Your bills should be paid, you should be able to afford a roof over your head, and you shouldn't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from. I was well over the lower bound in the…
