Tom - The vote was apparently 22-1 with the Russian delegate being required to abstain (according to a NYTimes article I read). Didn’t see who voted against suspension though. Do you know?

The Sentient Cloud of Dorito Dust (I want to join in on the fun) is going all in. I shudder to think how his volatile followers are going to react now.

I feel like my parents walked this line pretty well, but i still ended up with a shit ton of insecurity and issues related to body dysmorphia and my appearance, in general. I’m not sure even the most well thought out parenting plan of attack on this subject can really subvert what society and the media are just gonna…

Indeed. It’s like, take the wind out of the dyfunctional looks obsessed culture, where people are literally often acting 100% insane about aesthetic minutae.

They can be taught that yes, looks are a thing, it exists, but everyone’s beauty fades quicker than they want it to, so maybe teach them that finding fulfillment…

I don’t have kids, but I’d say your wife is on the right track. Learning to exercise and be fit for good health will benefit her most in the long-run (like, we’re talking life-long, not just so she’ll be popular in school). If you think that what your wife says about being healthy isn’t sinking in or she isn’t being…

I have to deal with this issue all the time. My child* is extremely handsome and I tell him this every day. But I sense he is becoming arrogant from the prideful expression on his face. And some say he is spoiled since I let him jump on the table all the time.

I'm fine with people telling their kids they're beautiful as long as it's not just the girls getting this treatment. Kids definitely notice when the girls are largely complimented with "pretty" or "nice" while boys are complimented with "smart" or "brave".

Seriously...THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR COMFORT!!! Now get over here as I dress you as a mini version of my teen grunge self! YOU WILL WEAR THIS CHOKER NECKLACE!!!!

Call all kids beautiful so that the word ceases to mean what it once did, and grows to mean something more akin to “YOU MATTER AND HAVE WORTH”.

I was looking for the gif when marla is singing at the bar but this one is sooo much better

I love having tiny people to dress however i want!

oh my gods....THAT IS GOING TO BE MY FUTURE CHILDREN’S UNIFORMS!!!

Okada Batteries sponsored a team in the Japanese womens pro baseball league.

Hmm, that’s true. I am feeling like I’m about to be raped and earlier my self esteem did take a blow from a subway ad. Well damn, guess its not time to throw in the towel just yet. Thanks for mansplaining this to me, its pretty hard with my hysterical woman brain. At least we have baseball though.

OMG YOU’RE RIGHT. If women could play baseball as far back as like, 1950, the patriarchy has been dead for decades!

There was from 1950-1971. A new league was formed five years ago. I’m not certain that these women were part of the first league, but that’s a good bet.

The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority clearly had no idea what they were Tocking about. It’s good to see Reason (and Rhyme) restored. This settlement is as nice as a victory Canby. :-D

Making her work in a Toll Booth is Juster wrong.
