I was going to say that they kind of avoid the trope of “LOOK AT THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A WOMAN” by having it happen to an alpha male but then remembered that a) rape of anyone as a plot device = NOT GREAT, BOB and b) the book falls right into the pit of Magical Healing Lovesex a few chapters later, which,…

So both of these people are insufferable, but it’s so weird that literally everything they didn’t like about her (lightness, distracting family) was positive and inspiring when he stepped up. I’d be mad too if I was her, but in less of a “why can’t I ever be good enough” way and in more of a “that’s some internalized…

JL: Yes, I did. And now [gestures widely] I am a successful woman who has not had a pregnancy.

The iPhone is one thing, but the crazy diet really isn’t good. For one there’s so many cases where that sort of intense food control turns out to be really mentally unhealthy. For another, banning all fun/unhealthy food isn’t actually teaching your kids about moderation and making good choices.

I...fully support a kid not getting an iPhone till after they’re 15

Somewhere out there, Lloyd Braun is having a meltdown.

Yeah, I think of this as kind of a perfect bachelorette activity for people who want to go out drinking but also don’t want to be part of the self-centered hordes that annoy everyone else at bars.

Nah, the wedding process can be very draining so I get your drift...

I hear you, but it’s a little much to be upset that you didn’t produce something totally beautiful as a complete novice. The difference between a good-looking painting and a bad one is rarely a matter of just one thing that a teacher can easily help you fix. There’s a reason people value art, and it’s because it…

Between this, that Shrekli dude (I refuse to believe his name is Shkreli because that’s almost more evil than he is) and ya boy Ethan Couch....maybe 2016 will be a better year than the grand suckitude of 2015?

I'd much rather adopt a new dog and give it a home than to spend a shit ton of money to clone my previous dog. We already have too many unwanted animals, so I'm not a fan of this. I also feel the same way about orphaned children.

the hypocrisy is a bit stark, isn’t it?

the other annoying thing about New Yorkers is their need to incessantly scream into your ear about how awesome NYC is and how awesome they are for living there.

She’s an asshole.

I live in a rural area that most NYC people would consider a backward hillbilly shithole and.... we have dozens of cultural events a year, there is a thriving local cuisine in the area - one that easily rivals the cuisine I’ve had in my trips to NYC and at half the price, we’re at a university so I run into random…

Lifetime movie in the making. It will be a religious woman who was wronged by her husband (he left her for a younger woman who was in her book club or he is a college professor and left her for a student who wants her own kids) and she still feels the need to have children. She will be fighting for the right for their…

I see a huge difference between letting your ex take the embryos to have more kids and donating them to an infertile who you will never see again. Presumably he will maintain a relationship with his twin boys. How awkward would it be to pick up the kids for dad’s weekend and see your other biological kids hanging out…

Seriously.. Who needs a 400ft walk in closet, less a 5800sqft house? I need a life of excess, one-upping, and braggetry.

There would need to be a price cap on these units. Because even the base rent of $1K/mo. is kind of absurd

“The bill was obviously written by someone who knows nothing about operating a correctional facility. It was based on PC (political correctness) principles, instead of good common sense. There is nothing about a pregnant female — two months, or three months or six months pregnant — that makes her less dangerous than…
