“For people from a shithole country, you all sure can boogie!”

I know many older people who didn’t really want children and were indifferent parents, but who had kids anyway because of poor/nonexistent birth control options or because it was just expected.

When I was in high school in the ’80s, many of the boys got mullet haircuts and then permed only the hair on top. It was...a look.

Thank goodness Trump added “(Golf)” to his tweet about Tiger Woods.

“Plus, he was Poor. What a Loser!”

I don’t understand why the Trump kids have those giant veneers. I mean, I’m sure they all had good dental care and orthodontics, and her real teeth look fine in the photo at left. But now they have these fake-looking veneers that stick out and make them look like they’re trying to eat an apple through a wire fence.…

It boils my blood when I remember her huge fortune was acquired through running a MLM scheme. Amway has knowingly defrauded millions of people (most of them lower- and middle-class women trying to earn extra money to help their families) and ensured Amway would not be prosecuted/shut down by donating huge amounts of…

And/or they figure being gay or trans is a choice, and by restricting options they can make it so difficult that people will just “change back” to a righteous, Godly life. Many of these people tell themselves they are helping LGBTQ people by refusing to acknowledge their orientation or respect their rights.

“I mean, I heard the guy couldn’t even tell a lie! What a loser!”

I’m just figuring that the longer labor goes on, the more women will feel they can’t take the pain any longer and ask for an epidural. Not talking about it being medically indicated for some reason like a C-section; just women who choose it for pain relief.

When compared with younger women, older women giving birth for the first time tend to have longer and sometimes more difficult labors, so they would be more likely to request an epidural, I expect...

I’ve given birth without an epidural (the hospital was short on anesthesiologists that day and they were tied up in surgeries, apparently), and let me tell you, if I’d ever had another baby, I would have kidnapped a random anesthesiologist at gunpoint and brought him to the hospital with me to administer an epidural…

Welcome to stately Dustbunnymore...

I read an article about this and it pointed out how devastating it can be for the many women who experience a miscarriage or stillbirth - you are grieving and trying to move on, and yet cheery ads with happy moms and cute babies keep ambushing you.

It’s a little easier for me to feel understanding when I know the person is, like Moss, a second-generation Scientologist who would have grown up with Scientology teachings and restrictive structures all around her. Look what happened with Leah Remini, who is obviously a smart, no-bullshit person; she was raised in…

Yeah, I’m guessing her self-education on the subject is all based on Scientology teachings. It’s kind of like flat-earthers who think they’ve “done the research” by spending hours surfing flat-earth conspiracy sites. You haven’t educated yourself if you only know one (nutso) point of view, no matter how much you know…

I live in the Bible Belt and we have a lot of churches full of Trumpers here, but we also have a lot of more progressive churches. The local Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and United Church of Christ congregations do a lot of social justice work and most are LGBTQ-friendly, even here in the South. My elderly…

Palin’s a mean, entitled dipshit, but to be fair, she wasn’t mayor of Wasilla when McCain chose her. She was governor of Alaska.

The first film was pretty silly and didn’t scare me at all - except for Zelda, who absolutely terrified me and gave me nightmares for months. Funny what will “get” you.

I can’t tell if you’re saying you hated the new movie or the book. In the book (IIRC) it’s implied that the power behind the Pet Sematary actually draws people in - that it influences Jud to show Louis what the Pet Sematary does in the first place (when he suggests burying Church there), that it works through Louis’s…
