Ugh, no. I happily welcome transwomen into the ladies bathroom, where they belong, and I’m equally happy to welcome transmen if that’s where they feel safest (or obviously need sanitary products, etc.). But I really hate the idea of bathrooms that aren’t single occupancy (like the ones at Starbucks for example) being…

My best guess is that contractors generally like to keep their heads down. You get a high profile for whatever reason (in this case, speaking in a congressional hearing/to the media/etc.), you’re pretty unlikely to get picked up for any future contracts. And like I said, the money is (well, was - the landscape has in…

I worked out in Iraq for two and a half years (development work) - my now husband (ex-military) was a contractor for seven. We, along with everyone else out there who was not enlisted, were always of the understanding that help from the military was never ever guaranteed if we got into trouble. They might come, if…

Hey, thanks for the recommendation-this looks really good! Just ordered a copy off Amazon :)

I’ve got one too, solely for airport travel. You can fit so much shit in there, and it squishes so well into overhead compartments. It’s loud and bright pink, and I have no shame.

YOU GUYS! Angelina Jolie and Gynweth Paltrow have released statements saying Weinstein sexually harassed them. He is so fucked.

In this hellscape our country is rapidly descending into, I truly appreciate that you took the time to notice Trump learning a new word. It did bring a little smile to my face.

It was both victim-blaming AND poorly written, a real winner.

That is a tiny relief, thanks! This was such a clusterfuck that I had to wonder.

Yeah, my sister was really good friends with a couple for several years - they weren’t married, as gay marriage wasn’t legal yet, but they may as well have been. The one guy cheated, my sister found out and was horrified, and told the other, whom she was closer with. The one who was cheated on flipped out - not on his…

I apologise if this has already been discussed somewhere, but I haven’t seen it - anyone feel a little queasy that the Obamas let Malia intern for him? Of course THEIR daughter was going to be safe and treated with utmost respect, but surely they had heard some of these rumours, right? They had to have an inkling that…

It’s not clear for the article, but please at least tell me they had female officers searching female students and male officers searching male students. I mean, I wouldn’t feel THAT much better if a woman grabbed my nipples in my high school hallway, but I feel in the long run it might be a bit less traumatising.

Good on you, and good on your dad. Proof that people can and do change once they understand - reasons why it’s worth continuing to talk instead of just giving up. We are going to get everyone, but some people really just don’t know as opposed to being assholes.

I know, right? He thinks nothing of pouring me a gin and tonic at 11am, and if I protest that it is just a touch early, he looks completely baffled. Then he will offer wine instead as the more appropriate choice for a mid-morning beverage.

Avoid Percocet like the plague in that case! It will not be a pleasant experience.

She’s in business with him anyway. He’s got the movie rights to her book (or something along those lines) - money talks, I guess :/

He, and Lisa Bloom, can fuck right off with this “dinosaur learning new ways” (direct quote from Bloom in the article). He’s 64, not 106. My father-in-law is 81. He was a top boy in the banking industry in his youth, including doing finance for many films in London in the 60s and 70s. The man has some amazing tales.

This is only mildly related to the story, but I too hallucinate on painkillers! I get the exact same type of experiences as you, thinking people had told me they hated me, didn’t want to see me ever again, etc. I get really paranoid on them. Everyone I’ve ever mentioned this to has told me that it’s totally bizarre,…

Hope springs eternal! (What else have we got letc, right?)

Yeah, that story is pretty appalling, huh? Puerto Rico is really just a much larger version of his reaction to the injured elderly man! If we can look past the story itself for a sec, listen to the difference in his speech patterns. The narcissism, the lack of emphathy, the vanity, all there in 2008 same as…
