Also, there are myriad ways in which a person’s depression can manifest and play out. There are people who have depression who are fully functional members of society. There are also people who are so severely impacted by depression that they require hospitalization for years at a time.

There is a wonderful book called Toxic Parents or something similar. I would highly suggest reading it and consulting with a trusted counselor. She may be your mother and you may feel an emotional responsibility, but you ultimately are not responsible for her and must provide the best care you can for yourself, and…

Is the issue here that they are being detained while their asylum status is being decided or the length of time it takes for their asylum status to be decided?

You had me until the last three words.

The dress looks like a tampon with blood wicking up the sides.

It is likely not that bad for you, or causes minimal problems to most people. However, yeah, if you hyper extend your neck by using multiple pillows, your neck is going to hurt the next day.

Haha, I am imagining like a sprinkler effect. :) Genuine question here, if the pee stream is so unpredictable, why don’t guys just pee sitting down? Also, to the point of future kids, I helped potty train a boy (worked as a nanny for a bit in high school), and he ended up just sitting down because I had no idea how to…

You should have thought of that when deciding whether to make shitty music or educate yourself. /s

scrubbing his hands?

I cannot tell if you are being serious, but no, those are probably not real tattoos... This is Jared Leto as the Joker.

.... what were you doing with the Foley kit ...

Now I want someone to try to sneak in a poop story via vague and veiled references.

This goes for the ladies, too! I waited in line for a bathroom and sat down in some nasty woman’s pee. I shouted “Oh, COME ON. Pee IN the toilet.” before thinking. Finished my business and went to wash my hands. Looked up in the bathroom mirror. Caught the horrified eyes of the lady who had been in the toilet before…

Jesus, fuck but I am tired of this “cultural appropriation” bullshit. No, it’s not fair that humans judge each other based on clothing or hair styles or the like, and it is fucking stupid that the color of a person’s skin can impact that judgement. BUT slamming the sippy cup down and declaring that NO ONE CAN WEAR…

There is no “hit or miss”. There is “hit or forcible catheterization”. I’m going to be such a good parent someday.

What’s the over/under on semen?

Sandra Bullock did that and more in a 2-minute montage. You should be fine.

Oh FFS, none of the other four were ever going to win. They picked peroxide Barbie, then threw in some minorities to make themselves look like NOT RACISTS.

With their biological gender. Unless you are one gender or another (or identify as one or the other), sorry, you go in with your biological gender. You have to put them in one place or another, and the simplest, fairest way to do so with a person who feels they do not conform to either, is to place them in their…

I would suspect that she was not thinking about the realities of the surgery, but more of the outcome. I know that, after I broke my jaw and had a botched chin suture as a three-year-old, I wanted surgery by the time I was five to have it fixed. As an adult, I can understand what the surgery would have entailed, but…
