I believe they're still working through the issues that have come up from the Gawker changeover. I know mods will still be around to deal with issues when we do change over, but none of us have any idea when that's going to happen.

I'll happily take the calm before the storm. The mods are going to have their hands full when the changeover happens. There's no reason to increase the issue now.

Dear fellow Jezebel commenters with stars,

Do not approve comments like this on the site. Fight the urge to respond.

Don't approve trolls! Whenever you respond to a comment in pink, you've approved them to comment all over the site. That is part of the responsibility of having a star.

You need to look harder! I've been leading the community book club for a decade and we read a ton of non-fiction.

I don't even leave my office until 6, never mind my 35 minute drive home. If we're lucky, we eat by 7:30.

"In your scenario, the children choose to have their parents pay for them instead of choosing to get student loans or to not go to college."

They can't go to a No-Girls-Allowed island because the (un)spoken text to these arguments are that they DESERVE the vadge. They are owed the vadge. Women are obligated to give it to them, but to withhold their personality, desires, needs, and voices, if we get down to brass tacks. They don't want to be away from

That would be happening right now. Do note it in the record.

"Yes! I am so grateful to my parents for their "3 bites rule"— we had to eat 3 bites (real bites, not nibbles) of everything being served. "

I don't want them to get together. Why can't they just have a deep friendship?

Youths!

I agree. My mother will bitch about my weight on one hand and shame me for not finishing my food on the other, even if I say I'm full. That was the way she was raised (and myself as well). You didn't waste food. Ever. Even if you're at a restaurant where the portion sizes are ridiculous. This is something I was very
