Is she fucking the father? That's the only theory I can come up with for why this vile moron seems more concerned about the father getting what he wants instead of what's best for the kids. Judges like her are evil. That sounds hyperbolic but until you've dealt with a judge or a police officer or any person with…

It’s also really common for kids to (of their own volition!) not like a parent and not feel safe with them. All those kids are old enough to have their own opinions. I can’t tell you how shitty it is to be told by the court that because you are not 18, it is impossible that you would have any independent thought and…

No matter how you look at this story, the children are the victims here.

2) I also struggle to understand why people get so bent out of shape over how cooked someone wants their meat. You’re not eating it, so why do you care? Yes, dumping salt and pepper on it in front of the chef was rude. But if someone’s paying you to cook some meat, and they want it well done, what does it matter…

So you side with the person who gave an interview (likely paid) to bash his children for not being a part of their life?

I’m basing my support for them on the fact that he says they could have called him. Therein lies the hallmark of every narcissist father. If you’re the parent, you’re the one who picks up the phone, you’re the one who visits, you’re the one who is there.

Proud to say that my rural, extremely conservative county in Northeast Texas (culturally very much part of the South) issued same sex marriage licenses today. Lamar County. Two licenses issued.

Yes, and it was very perceptive of her to latch on to that as an integral weakness of their policy.

I knew a girl who went to a fancy private school and their sixth form dress code was office wear. I could understand if they made it something like that. But it seems pretty inconsistently applied.

This is the dumbest dismissal of a woman’s experience I’ve read in a while.

If you’ll read the other comments on this post so far, you’ll see how real this is for all women. Street harassment isn’t flattering, and sharing your experiences with it isn’t bragging. If you’re a woman, it’s happened to you, and if it’s happened to you, you know it’s degrading, disenfranchising and anything but…

what a bunch of babies

I love it when a group’s reaction to a point you made serves to further prove your point.

A whiteness of teenage girls ordering frappuccinos.

I like crows, maybe not as much as some of the other corvidae, but still cool. I looked up what you call swans, who are basically narcissistic assholes, and your choices are herd or whiteness...

I would NEVER think of using Open Table this way. I use it when I need to book a reservation AHEAD OF TIME for a few people for a work dinner thing. (It is great to have the electronic confirmation to send to those attending) But I would never use Open Table while at the restaurant in order to prove the server wrong…

NOPE. Unless they specifically ask you for advice, do not give advice, ever, for any reason. If they’re shitty, welp, they’re shitty, but you telling them how to be better will not make them less shitty, it will only serve your own need for self-aggrandizement.

I’m sure Guy Fieri carries a “Guy Fieri Parking” placard with him wherever he goes.
