Fun story: my friend's dad is on death's door, and he's currently in a community hospital waiting to be transferred to palliative. The nurses keep giving him narcotics because he's kind of a difficult patient (moves around a lot, makes noise.) The family requested no narcotics, but each new shift they "forgot." My…
A lot of things.
What's ridiculous is that gaming journalism has needed reform from fucking day one. I can't remember how long ago it was that Ubisoft stopped letting EGM have its games early because of a bad Assassin's Creed review.
Same with my husband. He has real lingering issues due to the lack of food and medical/dental care growing up- both physical and psychological.
Like... the biggest dick of all... so big that people on the internet keep comparing their debate opponents to him.
it should be sexual reichstag, not sexual congress
Honestly, free breakfast is an awesome idea, not just in terms of being able to afford/not afford breakfast. How many parents have time to feed their kids a full breakfast every morning (rushing to work, getting multiple kids ready, etc.), and how many older kids are going to fix themselves breakfast? This is a…
Ugh. I have nothing more eloquent.
My mother was one of those, and we still haven't forgiven her. Same for medical care. I have so many dental problems now all because she was "too proud" to get us on medical assistance from the state.
One of my kids had this at school and it was AWESOME. It is about the only thing we miss from that school district.
Eggs are thirty cents a piece, but you can't just buy one egg! I hate people who say shit like that. I live in a very red county, and it's starting to get to me in a really bad way. I've seen people who GET food stamps posting memes about "lazy food stamp moochers" on Facebook.
It's even more insidious than that. There is such a stigma attached to asking for the help that is available that some people would rather go hungry (and their children, too) than reach out for assistance because they are ashamed and feel like they should "pulling their own weight" by their bootstraps like real…
I wish I could say it astounds me, but I've met some of those people. Humanity isn't their strong suit.
It will always astound me that this happens in the richest countries in the world, all because some people want to make sure no one gets what they worked for for free, for any reason.
My ovaries!
Hey, Mark, I don't know if this post is still being moderated, but there're plenty of anti-choice assholes in the grays. It amazes me that people live in a fantasy land where all the unwanted babies get adopted and have wonderful lives and pregnancy is totes easy, NBD, really.
Totally totally agree that that poster doesn't get to cob on to her resolved choice for any reason, whatsoever. Completely.
I trade the entire life of every one of my ova on a monthly basis by not having unprotected sex with my husband. Poor little unfertilized angels. You're right - we should start rawdogging it so I can make fetuses that the millions of loving infertile couples can bid on. Good thing we're both white!
I was 21 when I got pregnant. I wasn't drunk or high. I wasn't poor. I wasn't uneducated. I had a one night stand and knew I wasn't using protection. It was dumb. A dumb, dumb choice. I got pregnant and though I always wanted children, I knew I wasn't ready to be a mom. I had an abortion, the easiest decision I've…
