haha, don’t worry! I’m 30 and have been boffing dudes for half my life. I’m not gonna go grab a soft-cup and be like ‘for fun, let’s see if this works!’, I was just waxing-hypothetical because this seems like a thread where ladies can get a little silly about vagbags.

I can picture the conversation they had when discussing what to offer her. Probably something like:

I like to imagine that you didn’t even have to look those numbers up because you are a processed-food-nutrition-label-specific savant.

Appreciation & respect right back at you. :)

Nice try, Mr. Speaker.

With cash. Tip super well, with cash.

I actually asked a delivery person what the deal was and he said that if you really want to be a good person, ALWAYS TIP IN CASH. ALWAYS. TIP IN CASH.

What Sanders wants and what he can do are two totally different things. I don’t believe Sanders is capable of effectively enacting policy, not on a national level. He does not have the diplomatic or managerial skills to bring about his proposed progressive reforms. His methods and intractability will mire us in…

I so appreciate this breakdown. It’s not pretty but it’s honest. Upthread I was trying to say something similar...in fact, I’m always trying to articulate this argument through one metaphor or another but don’t always have the right vocabulary to voice my opinions.

I do understand that. But it’s not how this whole system is designed - we humans are not fundamentally altruistic animals, we will always fight for our own interests. It’s a wonderful idea to think that the world could transform overnight but the cold reality is that change is slow, ponderous and painful. Hillary is…

Right, I understand that. I guess the issue is that they are defining ‘establishment’ differently and both hoping their definition will stick.

True - her show’s writing team knows how to distill her acerbic point of view into a cohesive comedy bits. The sketches are usually larger commentaries on pop culture or society but her stand-up is JUST about her and that gets dull pretty quick because she’s not that interesting now that she is rich and famous.

Hillary is just stating the simple fact that a 25 year congress person raging against the machine is rather hypocritical. She’s not denying that she is a politician...she’s saying that she and Bernie are obviously part of the same political system.

the face of ‘sorry bro’

Gadzooks, why would anyone claim credit for the disaster that was her Apollo appearance? That was a lazy, boring, repetitive set and I was super disappointed by it. Frankly, I’d prefer to think she stole those shitty jokes! Sadly, I think she’s just come to rely on her predictable self-effacing-body-bashing humor…

he was actually very sweet about his relationship in his Madison Square Garden/HBO special - the end credits had a special dedication and he devoted a quarter of the set to talking about how much he loved her. Oh well, so it goes.

You’re so right; the idea of anyone scrutinizing me at 19 makes my insides cringe! And they didn’t do anything worse than most kids do in college, at least not to my recollection.

awesome - so good to hear. thank you!

That’s what I said - that if you get an OK from your gyno, it’s all good. But there’s not a lot of warnings about potential issues with the IUD/cup combo, not in this article for one thing, so it’s worth mentioning for newbies.

I’m rooting for you, my friend!
