It read less to me as someone trying to hurt her husband as someone who likes feeling sexually powerful. She sounds like she wants to be wanted, and she’s using her friend and his low-self esteem, and his high esteem for her, to obtain that power. But who knows, people are complicated creatures, it could be many…

Well, he can do that too, hypothetically. He doesn’t HAVE to, but he COULD. Depends on him. Personally I’m not a big fan of using another person to get my jollies and then throwing them away like a Kleenex - if it’s what both people want that’s one thing, but pretending you want a relationship when you have no…

See, this is the problem I have for this “defense” of polygamy. It’s not that you choose to live this lifestyle or naturally prefer the lifestyle, but you treat it as if it makes you superior because you’re making a separation between two things that others do not.

I’m not saying he needs to not care about her. They CAN have an open relationship and care deeply about each other. I’m just saying don't expect anything.

Agreed. Being Poly is fine. If you want to be Poly be Poly. Nobody cares. Just please stop talking about my monogamous life like I’m doing it wrong.

Some people have trouble separating sex from love and other people seem to have trouble separating emotional vulnerability with sex/love.

Party of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!

“It is just a few IQ points. ... It is not the end of the world.”

Even if Snyder goes down in flames (if that actually happens), the philosophy he espouses is still prevalent in other states. When will Congress and state legislatures realize that cutting budgets have consequences? That at some point you’re done cutting fat, and you’re destroying muscle and bone?

I didn’t have no choice. I didn’t have no way to get no water, and I didn’t know they was delivering it.”

Let’s play Clue, shall we?

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

thinkpiece idea: “man who has been in congress for 20 years just doesn’t understand how congress works”

Undecided voter here who is trying hard not to get involved with internecine Democratic turf wars, but-

Oh man! I weirdly was never a huge fan of Jackson. But what I loved about that whole storyline is that Sookie’s weight/size was NEVER mentioned. They date, fall in love, get married, have kids, and there is literally never a discussion about her appearance. Pretty revolutionary in its own quiet way.

Yeah, best guess. But it totally sucks. They should’ve given her the option to accept lower pay for old times sake.

“She’s really fucking busy” = “We didn’t even try because we can’t fucking afford her.”

I’m a litigator. Sometimes I’ll do oral argument before the Court and think, “shit, that felt like rambling. I bet I sounded so dumb. I must do better next time.” And then I get the transcript back and I’ve spoken eloquently throughout it. Comparatively, I imagine Palin is like “nailed it” after a speech and then…

Agreed on all accounts, except I think you forgot when Danny Devito exposed us all to his bae potential.

We’re probably about to see lots of comments about potential death threats, followed by lots of comments about how that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
