From baby buttholes to tofurkey sausages, this whole article made me vaguely nauseated.

Like, good for them and all, but I’m just saying that, personally, I’d like to be mourned for more than a couple few months kthx.

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

I read elsewhere that the experimental procedure the parents want (which has not even been tested in mice) would have zero chance to improve his brain function even in the most miraculous of best-case scenarios. This is Terry Schiavo all over again. The brain matter is irreparably damaged, full stop.

What pisses me off most about President Dipshit inserting himself in this story is that per his proposed healthcare reform, the children suffering like that here at home would be left to die while their parents are saddled with a copious amount of medical debt.

Vice said Glow was the best thing ever.

What’s not fine is a Great Gatsby-themed wedding

Why aren’t the NRA folks rioting over this? A responsible gun owner did everything you’re supposed to do but was killed.

The name definitely plays a part in the general public’s perception of the technology but in this specific case, this guy pushed autopilot to the limit on multiple occasions. He ignored the “I Agree” button and it cost him.

5 nannies have left the role in the last year, each citing supernatural incidents as the reason...

My parents went with: “Sure, you can be a princess, but don’t come crying to me when the peasants revolt.”

I’m not saying that rich people can’t be shit parents. But in one post you’re complaining that your parents never bought you a single toy, then in the next saying they spent hundreds of dollars on you. It sounds like the real issue is them not understanding/accepting your gender identity.

I spent an hour looking through a few thousand photos on my husband’s computer

But you don’t know that, it’s just assumed without talking to them. She hasn’t given them the chance to accept her as a permanently single person, nor has she indicated it’s what she really wants. It’s totally natural for friends to encourage you to find love.

“I’m highly educated and stridently feminist and most men don’t like that and most men don’t know how to pull their own weight and create an equitable and healthy relationship.”

Perhaps you’re right; however, her tone in the piece seems like one of resignation, not so much of “hey, I love being single and welcome being single for the rest of my life!” That’s the only reason I mentioned talking to someone about it. The fact that she almost cried at the dinner table also tells me she’s possibly…

Well, the author does go a little back on forth on how much of a choice being alone is for her. I take more of an issue with why can’t one person just agree with another that “sometimes life doesn’t work out the way you thought it would, but it sure sounds like you’re making the best of what you do have” instead of…

It sounds to me like she does want to talk about it, but wants the people she’s talking with to acknowledge her reality and have the conversation she’s actually trying to have, rather than insisting that she’s wrong and she won’t be alone forever, even though, as she points out, there is no guarantee of that.

Or she’d rather be able to talk about it openly without being made to feel that her feelings are wrong. There’s nothing worse than trying to be honest with someone and they dismiss your feelings because they don’t line up with what they think you should feel. I really think she’s looking for understanding and…
