This is legit one of the weirdest stories kicking about the Internet right now. I’ve been waiting for Jez to pick it up so I can screech WTF at other commentators.

When I was first starting out in my career, a much older colleague told me the best advice he had to offer was to always have a “fuck you” account - enough money set aside to say fuck you to any boss at any time and walk away.

Same here. Strange times we are living in.

I mean, I don’t particularly wish good health on our Orange Overlord, but that seriously, that does not sound healthy for either your body or your mental health.

Yeah, Pence is a no good horrible man who will be bad for the rights of basically everyone who isn’t a straight white man. But the damage he would do could be fixed in time - I don’t fear he’s going to, say, nuke France because someone hurt his feelings on Twitters.

Every time I see this photo I retroactively stress for her.

Oh my God, I have something in common with Trump. Inclines and stairs make me very nervous and I always grab someone’s arm if the incline is particularly steep. In my defense, my knees are bad and tend to give out and send me plummeting down stairs, hills, etc.

Yeah, I’ll give my parents a pass because I know how hard it would’ve been for them to tell their daughter to give up a sport she loved. But coach? What the hell, man? If I’d just sat out that one season, I suspect things might have been different. It was ludicrous to let me play WHILE I was still in PT and wearing a…

She looks good here! Looks like she’s at a healthy weight (was looking pretty scarily thin for awhile, as I recall) and dressed normally, etc. I wish her all the best and hope to continue not to hear anything about her!

I wonder that about a lot of sports - I’m absolutely not saying ban childhood sports - but both of my knees were permanently trashed by 18 from playing volleyball. There was an underlying medical issue there that would’ve eventually cropped up, so I can’t blame volleyball entirely....but I was allowed to play whilst…

Is Amanda doing better these days? She’s about my age, so I have a real soft spot for her from her days on Nickelodeon’s “All That.” I hadn’t seen anything in the gossip blogs lately, so I’ve been hopeful that meant she was getting the right sort of help and sorting her life out.

Hello, fellow expat! Where are you (if you don’t mind saying)? Are you permanent, or are you headed back stateside at some point (gulp!)?

I can’t imagine how you grow up with a healthy self esteem with the knowledge that your own mother - the person who is supposed to love and care for you above all else - chose her boyfriend over your welfare. I know it’s something that happens to children the world over, but still - poor little kid. I hope she gets…

Ha! Fellow American expat in the U.K. here, and I almost this exact same conversation with someone this evening. Terrified minds think alike?

Please tell me you bought it immediately.

Is she still with him? (Please tell me no) I don’t understand how her underage child was allowed to live in the same house with a convicted child molester. Surely that was against his probation?

The expression “nower now” pleased me greatly.

I think the problem you can run into with the Catholic church - speaking as a formerly devout Catholic, now a lapsed one - is that alot of Catholics truly, truly believe that life begins at conception and abortion is murder. I know I did when I was younger - I was a liberal in every other area, but abortion was a real…

I just gave my dog and the dog I’m babysitting (dog sitting?) another treat even though they had one five minutes ago. Poor John Daniel.
