This sounds kind of awesome, actually. Someone else provides me with drinks and I get to hang out with our other friends while pretending to think the baby is cute and not a horrible life decision on my friends’ part?

I’m super gender conforming and wouldn’t raise my hypothetical kid gender-neutral, but “gender reveal” stuff just reads as an announcement to the world that “don’t worry, we’ll send little Timmy to an electroshock therapy facility if there’s even a hint he might be into that gay or trans stuff.”

“Gender reveal parties” should be events where young adults announce to the world what gender identity they’ve settled on. Otherwise nope.

Except it was.

Excuse me, you mean she’s a Taiwan Person.

I actually laughed out loud at that line in the video, partially just out of terror. And I don’t see what’s “childish” about using the term “despicable” to describe someone whose greed caused 29 people to be killed.

Probably specifically because he used the word negro.

I have a (woman) friend who’s really smart and loves Infinite Jest and it throws me for a loop every time she starts talking about it, particularly because I never got beyond 50 or so pages into the thing so I’m usually not certain whether she’s referencing the book or something else.

My problem is that in my mind, he and Mitch Hedberg are the same person. Probably because they were big around the same time, died young, and had longish hair. Now, nobody here better tell me that Hedberg was an abusive POS or else I’ll be miserable forever.

Temporarily, until he voted for the tax bill that all but gutted it.

That won’t happen. He’s not spending his last days pushing back against Trump. He’s having his publicists push flattering pieces about him in the Times (like the one featured here) and the Washington Post (which ran today) to remind everyone how much of a hero he supposedly is so they go buy his book. The guy has…

I do feel bad for her kid though. Like, my mom is super embarrassing in public, but thankfully she’s never pulled anything like this.

Sadly I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, that it’s the parents’ very real effort to make their 13 year old kid famous.

To be fair, I’m 30, and the drivel I hated at 18 is starting to be considered classic throwback stuff.

Maybe next time ask her to write about what she likes about him and his music (? no idea who he is) to get her at least writing about her own life instead of just copying advertising.

My guess is all her followers are 12 year olds watching and saying “holy crap, this is ridiculous!” I doubt anyone actually looks to her as a role model. But then I’m old, so I don’t know what I’m talking about anymore.

Well that’s the interesting part. They’re Canadian, but the manager/non-manager is from Florida.

Well that explains why I made such a stupid career path choice at 22.

Yeah but he’s banking on that overused “the likes of” expression to serve as a cushion of interpretation.

I expressed an opinion on a website’s comment section, didn’t assault anyone. Get a grip!
