It’s part of the trend of people acting against their own long-term interests in favour of their short-term interests. People supporting businesses that pay their front-line employees well (and as a consequence, pay their top-end employees a little less) wind up supporting their own communities, because that money…

you buy that which exists and that you can afford

American consumers is biggest road block to workers rights. Time and time again, Americans reward companies that exploit workers. Until consumers recognize their power and their role as ethical consumers, this is pissing in wind.

Mmm I hate the idea that sucking your thumb is a problem. It messes up your teeth when you’re younger, but it’s not this terribke shameful baby thing. I still wake up sometimes with my thumb in my mouth, even though I didn’t go to sleep that way. And after being so embarrassed for years, I finally brought it up to my…

A seven year old understands the concept of abandonment... but a seven year old also knows YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR AND DID NOT ABANDON THEM.

Yeah, I do not want to get judgey, but this feels like the exact example of why a parent would want to sleep train their kid whole said kid is still a little bean.

I’m assuming that is a part of why doctors et al want these issues to be addressed earlier rather than later.

So they bought me a beautiful canopy bed with beautiful pink bedding (5 year old cisgender, gender conforming girls love that shit) and when they caught me sleeping on the floor in front of their bedroom door, threatened to send it back to the store if I didn’t start…

“Do you really think that Hillary Clinton is debate-prepping for three or four days. Hillary Clinton is resting, okay?”

Sorry, you’re too sensitive to realize the ramifications of this storm. People don’t listen unless there is an imminent threat. This tactic works. I rather see more people alive than dead in light of sparing their pretty little feelings.

But why wouldn’t you tell her that, if you thought it might help her get the hell out of there? The death count in Haiti is over 100 and counting. Your friend COULD die.

I have a friend who didn’t leave, and has basically done nothing to prepare. I’m pretty concerned for her well being, but i’m not going to tell her she’s going to die.

I’m going to bet on this trend lasting for all of two selfies. Women who aren’t photographed for a living will continue to wear or not wear makeup as they always did, and stars will continue to do spend a ton of time making sure they look perfect in pictures.

I’m just glad she learned this lesson for a disease like rotavirus instead of something more dangerous or more likely to have long term effects!

I think they’re misusing the word “civilization”. They seem to mean “extant non-African racial gene pool”.

Um, maybe she was distracted because she lost her father on Friday?

Well, that she really be uncomfortable the next time Bill and Colin run into each other.

“(According to the NYP)“, which is not the same as Colin Powell complaining about what he glimpsed last time he visited Chappaqua.
