I’m sure it’s not her name, but I’m going with Aunt Lydia.

How much do you think the hospital’s liability insurance is about to go up because a nurse couldn’t keep her mouth shut?

When Watts feels up to it, I hope she takes the hospital to the cleaners and that the nurse is named in the lawsuit. Five bucks says the nurse is the type who really thinks she is a good person. Phony nice women, fear them.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.

Can I ask how you made it over to a Nordic country?

So true. Mrs. Ballz and I are childless by choice, but we love that our property taxes go, in part, to schools. 1. It’s not a child’s responsibility to provide for themselves, and 2. good schools = good communities = good for everyone.

Americans, as a culture, only care about their own children and not even that much for those kids. Harsh, maybe, but absolutely true when you compare our health care, education, and family policies with almost any other Western country.

Yup. We got lucky here in the UK; Little Valve was born right after laws passed implementing a year of parental leave with 1/4 pay that could be shared for 6 months between two parents/all taken by one for 12/whatever, but either way, your company could NOT penalize you for taking that leave. Mr. Valve was the first…

I think there’s already another lawsuit in progress for him continuing to slander her after the first verdict.

I hope NY puts out a deadbeat warrant on his ass.

he can’t appeal without paying a bond which should be 100% of the damages

He has to put it in escrow before he can appeal, so either he puts up, or shuts up.

Fuck around and find out. That’s an expensive temper tantrum.

Exactly. Barbie is a comedy. It’s not fair to judge it by obvious Oscar bait standards like Killers or Oppenheimer. It can be exhausting watching the same human suffering films. There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia etc. I think…

It’s worth noting: This is the 3rd time Gerwig had a picture nominated for Best Picture but was passed over for a Best Director nomination.

“...neither it’s director, Celine Song, or it’s lead actress...”

Plus, she’s 51. Being in my 50's as well, I can’t imagine doing the baby/young children thing. At a certain point you just want to relax. 

Travis Barker wore that shirt for attention (clearly he’s learning from the garbage family he married into). Don’t give it to him.

Sofia’s son is in his early 30s. And after the way her ex before Joe tried to abuse her with the embryos that had been frozen, I can see her reluctance of even trying to have more kids from that angle alone.

It’s pretty common, though - he’s never had to work for anything, his parents work ethic and values have simply never applied to his own context. He actually thinks this is hard work and earning his way!
