Same here. (Oregon). clumsy, ditzy, ridiculous. Not remotely like “retarded”. Definitely not like cunt, which is clearly 1000 times worse than bitch.

No, but I’m not sure taking away what boys age 16-22 see as the ONLY potential consequence of sex is a very good idea. It’s difficult enough as it is to get them to a) only have sex with people who want to have sex with them and b) wear a condom when they do it as it is.

Yes, if you cannot be impartial you will be excused. They will try to rehabilitate you (i.e., do you think you’d be able to listen to the evidence and make a decision based on the evidence), but I’ve had people answer very honestly “no. I can’t. I’m shaking sitting here looking at him.” and they will absolutely be…

This!!!

I don’t discount your anger or why you’re angry. I just wanted to say for others that might be wondering the same thing, that we can’t just take someone’s statement and use that in court. (in the US, anyway). There are a lot of factors but it boils down to the US Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Constitution and…

I have (diagnosed) celiac, and am with your friend. There is a mandated level of gluten allowed in “gluten free” food. Of course, if you actually have celiac, you can’t have “just a little” gluten. If I didn’t make it from scratch I generally won’t eat it.

Mmmm, I say no. Because adults get to do all sorts of things children don’t. When I was a child, my parents swore, watched tv till midnight, ate chocolate before dinner, and all other manner of glorious things that I, a child, was not allowed to do. Were I to complain about the unfairness of this- why can YOU eat a…

ice wine. It’s crazy sweet. I love it, like drinking honeyed apricots.

I used to work at Shopko (which if you’re unfamiliar is kinda like walmart only not as mega national and everyone wears red not blue. So like...low-rent midwestern target). Anyway. I”m wearing my red, Shopko smock (like a little lab coat only red) and a name tag. A plastic name tag that says “Shopko” and my name. And…

I’m pretty sure it actually goes BROADWAY/London Theatre > movies > off broadway> TV>other theatre.

Weeeellll, the important factoid is that she was *let go* as nanny several weeks BEFORE the photo was taken, and the house she showed up at was not the family home but the solo pad Ben’s been at since the split. (I am aware I know way too much about this.)

There needed to be a poll about brushing / flossing. Because that shit happens all the time at my work, and it is NOT OKAY.

Unrelated to camp, but related to raccoons- there is a family of raccoons that live in the overgrown lot behind my house. At night, they come into my yard and make crazy squealing noises. I would be angry, but I saw them walking along my fence the other day and the Mama raccoon was like, coaxing the baby raccoons…

This is a fabulous idea. Scientists need to get on this STAT. If pregnant women could say “mm, I’m cool, but if YOU want it, man-person, we can just go ahead and put it in this artificial womb, I’ll terminate my rights, and you can be solely responsible for the rest of its life. Sound good? What’s that? Oh, you…

The court’s contempt power is limited. The judge can order you, in her courtroom, to stop doing something and hold you in contempt if you don’t. Even if you aren’t a party to a case. However, if you are on the street in front of the courthouse, causing a ruckus, the judge cannot order you to stop it and hold you in…

And more critically, as mentioned above, they CANNOT be made to - they aren’t parties to the case. Just like if I sue your mom, the judge can’t order YOU to do menial labor in my house to pay her bill. You are not a party. Children are not a party. The court’s power to order persons to do things/not do things is…

When a 15 year old stands up and says “I saw him hit my mom” I think that Dad is doing a fine job of estranging himself from his kids.

That was my thought...In an effort to show how American actors are not masculine like Australians, he uses as his examples of masculinity...two Americans. Whaa?

I really think we should just...let Texas go. It can take some other states with it. They can be the “New Republic of MURICA”.

Surprise, Mississippi, a stay pending a Supreme Court ruling only lasts until, you know..they RULE. And they did. Soo.
