Hope should look forward to being a big sister to Mercy!

You’re right, but only because Scalia is dead.

I seriously hate Jessa, or whatever her name is. She is 100% pure, unadulterated garbage. The way she addressed Mark’s sexuality was so fucking gross.

Yes. Yes, it does.

I feel so, so sorry for Kim. I kept yelling, “get off of TV!” at her last night because she is not doing herself or her recovery any favors. I loved Kim as a housewife because she is just so absurdly fun and quirky when well, but the clearly is not a good, or even neutral, thing for her as it usually is for a cast…

I was watching with my boyfriend and noticed the same thing. “Babe, two people on two different shows tonight didn’t know what ‘misogynist’ meant... What are we doing with our lives?”

Agreed. That guy I can actually respect as a measured person. He’s selfish as fuck but at least not actually stupid like the other writers.

I think all of that is a pretty astute observation and likely true. I still, though, don’t understand actually voting for Trump as a woman. Ballots are secret, and if people don’t want to make waves by speaking up and are simply doing the emotional labor to keep the peace and “yes, dear” husbands, what’s stopping…

Annoyingly, if understandably, yes

Actually, no. At least, in the US, the government cannot restrict freedom of speech. As boycotts for political purposes are constitutionally protected speech, retaliation against expressing that speech would be an unconstitutional restriction of the freedom of speech.

Law schools don’t really do admissions interviews.

Thanks for the idea!

Yet, proceed carefully with the presentation of evidence, or else “you’re always trying to prove a point and win an argument.”

For one, you have to leave the country, which is a pretty big first step.

We already have. It’s not automatic citizenship, but it is pretty much a guarantee speeds up the process considerably. https://www.uscis.gov/news/fact-sheets/naturalization-through-military-service-fact-sheet

I was wondering about your first question, as well. I’m not looking for a job, but if I were, I’d expect to the differences in my lowest (reasonable) offer and the firm’s highest (reasonable) offer could easily be half of the “joke” salary. I wonder what the outcome is like when the joke (3x the expected) salary…

“If at all possible” is not “safely,” but okay.

I see that you are, for some reason, upset that a duty to retreat exists, but that example you give of WY is utter bullshit. The duty to retreat is only a duty when you’re able to safely retreat. If Person A is pointing a loaded gun at Person B, every state in the union would allow a self-defense exception for…

It’s my favorite solution. I get what I want, and I get to be petty.

I’ve been an introvert that has never wanted attention, and simply the idea of a huge wedding triggers my anxiety. I’m actively trying to get my partner to agree to eloping and then following it with a big party a year later that will actually be a “Surprise, it’s our first wedding anniversary!” party for everyone.
