You’re pretty much right on. One of my Beachbody training classes was about mastering Facebook - post at least daily, not more than 3x a day though, and only mention BB / hashtag every so often. She’s being coached just as I was. If she starts posting on your wall, watch out. You’re on her contact list and can expect…

Quite a while ago I drew a hard line against any and all MLM pitches. If anyone I know even starts to mention one of those things, I cut them off mid opening sentence and say that I don’t mix pyramid schemes with family/friendship. They either then leave me alone about it or I ignore them as they rant about “I swear…

Gosh, this is exactly what I was thinking. AP was the only course I had that included the 60s, and even that wasn’t in great depth. Most of my knowledge came from my parents and their extensive folk music collection.

Well, we’re certainly glad you clarified why you felt the need to shit all over the accomplishments of a teenager.

It’s more in the sense, as someone said above, is it Subway’s duty to tell her he’s a pervert?

Right, I’m going to mention something that is going to blow your mind, but hear me out.

I believe in *always* asking with non-immediate family, but within immediate family I think there’s room for context, age, past experience, etc. to create room for some automatic signs of affection. I don’t want my partner to ask every time he puts an arm around me, I do want him to respect it immediately if I say no…

And if someone has chosen a career in the restaurant industry, you fail to see why it’s so terrible to offer to pay them to get in your kitchen and make you a fucking sandwich?

Anyone, sex workers included, has the right to say no, whenever they want, including when they’re on the clock. Sex worker =/= sex slave. Also, what’s your profession? Can I come over and bug you for goods or services while you’re not at work? Can I do so repeatedly after you’ve told me to bugger off? No? Oh, well, I…

A) Being a sex worker in movies with co-stars who have been tested doesn’t mean she’s interested in sleeping with any guy off the street.

Special forces operatives kill people for a living; doesn’t mean they’ll take kindly to being offered a hit contract. Circumstances matter.

A lot of adult actresses escort on the side and $10,000 for a date is pretty standard.

You’re right, I didn’t catch that aspect of this from the article. I completely agree with you!

Yeah, same. My son and his friends do that a lot, too. W have a green belt area behind our house next to a community garden. The community garden leaves out stuff for kids to just drag around and use, and I’ll go up and sit and read (so I’m close by but they are not “supervised” in an intense way — it’s just that it’s…

Ha! I hope there’s a follow up of him whining when someone breaks a leg.

I hover because my black son could be killed. Fuck. All. Of. This.

Your thoughts on “girls” being separate from your thoughts on “kids” is the problem, though. You reinforce the concept of boys/men as default pretty blatantly, among other issues.

I just actually read that article and can confirm that this dude is a douche. His total lack of respect for women - who are responsible for all terrible parenting ever - combined with his smugness, disregard for other people’s preferences and boundaries, and apparent blindness to the fact that he is still raising…

My (black male) immediate thought is this:

So just a regular neighbourhood?
