There is no excuse for rape. Don’t care what you’ve been through, what your parents did to you, what the world did to you.

No. No academics are pushing for the normalization of pedophilia, not in Great Britain, not anywhere else. And I say this as a #KrautforBrexit.

‘life without parole’ only exists for murder in the UK and has only been issued 84 times in our history. However this man will not leave prison. No parole board will set him free, they legally couldn’t.

I teach spin, and I’ve had to go up to members (off the mic) and quietly ask them to either add more resistance (as it’s apparent they are pedaling WAY too fast or out of control) or take off resistance, when it’s evident that they are straining just to complete a single revolution. I repeat these ad nauseum through…

“But if you don’t want to visit a chiropractor after landing...”

“But if you don’t want to visit a chiropractor after landing...”

Yeah, I mean, I’ve never been to a SoulCycle, but I assume the bikes aren’t fixed gear.

FYI, though it’s counter-intuitive, the pedals that you clip into are called clipless pedals. This is because those straps you described are called toe-clips, so the pedals that attach to your shoes are called clipless (the newer technology).

the momentum of the fly wheel kept the pedals turning, and each rotation caused ankle dislocation

This is standard practice. Most decent cyclists have cycling shoes that lock into bike pedals both in gyms and on their normal bikes. If someone doesn’t have cycling shoes, then gyms provide attachments that let you lock your sneakers onto the bike, but it’s a much worse cycling experience. “Lock” is a misleading word…

I know there is a stigma attached to being a “career woman” but there is also a stigma attached to being a stay at home mom. For women, there is a stigma attached to literally every decision we make in life. It’s not like Pitch Perfect 3 is a once in a lifetime movie, so it’s not really a big deal to want to pass on…

My husband was a stay at home dad for a period and I got shit for it. I decided to stay home, I got shit for it. Women get shit on for everything they do regarding child rearing.

It gets harder as they get older...they need you in different ways. I found it more psychologically challenging parenting tweens and teens (mine are grown and one is out of the house), and more physically exhausting parenting infants, babies and toddlers.

I was curious and looked it up, her son was born in 2011 and is likely starting kindergarten. I can see why that would be a time she’d likely want to be at home with the kids.

I don’t know how old her kids are, but this is sounding like big kid stuff that’s harder to outsource, as opposed to diaper changes and making toddler lunches. I know I have a hard enough time being gone all day at an office job, but in entertainment their schedules can be insane I bet. If I had to guess, last…

Thank you. Came here to say how particularly repugnant it is for the guy whose corporation is known for devastating local hardware stores to have the chutzpah to complain about it being hard to start a small business these days. And for him to say that he’d never be able to start Home Depot these days? Well no shit,…

My dad left me in a car once, but it was winter, and he remembered me before it got too cold in the car. Also, I’m like 90% sure he has undiagnosed ADHD.

I think “Disney Day” (or “Fairy Tale Day” if you want to avoid the wrath of the Mouse) is a much better idea than “Princess Day”.

FFS. I remember being three or four and playing “Jail” on the staircase because the guard rail had bars. In what world are you going to be able to permanently shelter your mushbrained angel from all vaguely parallel, vertical lines so they don’t—y’know—get the wrong idea?

No you’re lying. I’m laughing.

Honestly, can you imagine the terror of a parent following through on that threat? Really being left behind like that? Even if it was only to “teach a lesson” I think it would traumatize me.
