I think it is true to a point. I mean I was shit compared to what I typically am. Not that I couldn’t do anything but looking back for the first full year after my second and a substantial time after each of my others I was not on my game. I can see it now looking back but Ive asked several of my co-workers and former

Because I work circles around my co-workers on a daily basis? Because I accomplish more in the 32 hours Im in the office than my co-workers do in their 50? Because no man ever is asked how he is going to deal with his kids’ illnesses, play performances, or field trips. Actually men who are fathers are more likely to g

But isnt that really it. Parents arent visiting you... you are the same old you as you were last week. Grandbabies are a constantly changing world of excitement for grandparents. It is definitely your lack of children that causes them to stay away. They wouldn’t visit your brother if he was childless either.

Hmmm... maybe its the clarity that the world doesnt revolve around only our needs and that there needs to be something worth living for once we are gone because there will still be more people still here trying to live. Its an abstract idea for a lot of people until they actually experience the tie to the future

In the Portland area there were at least three main protests. These were separate from the ongoing protest at the local ICE office and the protest turned riot between the Patriot Prayer group and Antifa where there were a few arrests made. A lot of civic activism happening in this city right now!

Also, adminstrative judges usually just make sure that the agency that carried out the action did so following the agencies rules. So it makes no assessment whether those rules are constitutional or provide enough protection for the person appearing before them, they just make sure that the adminstrative processes and

You lucky lady. The only place I get to pee alone is at work. It’s my own fault. I don’t like to hear them whine on the other side of the door. Now that my youngest is a toddler I do get super touched out but I just tkae it out on my husband by screaming Don’t Touch Me over and over again (not really but I do think it

25 mph is standard for residential speed limits basically nationwide. Actually many cities are going a step further and lowering their limits to 20 or 15 in residential.

I think thre is truth to this but that there is an element of being a career woman in the patriarchy that plays into successful women feeling no way out. Part of it is the stigma of mental illness and what that can damage in a person’s career (regardless of gender) but there is also the narrow line of behavior that

I do think this is something that is uniquely part of the female professional experience. There are guys in my office (and I know elsewhere) who are absolute tyrants when they are stressed. They show it in every interaction with every person. Women, I think, are not allowed to show it. They have to be unflappable

That’s what I use and I give it a +1

I think she hit it on the head. We’ve been sold this idea that although we should put extra effort into everything we do we should simultaneously making it look like our fabulous results required no effort on our part. Being embarrassed over a tag being out is a reminder that we failed to put in adequate effort and it

I live in Portland, OR for crying out loud. I am not unfamiliar with people who are vegan. I know vegans who do treat anyone who is not vegan as deplorable and I know many more that have made that as a personal choice who are genuinely pleasant people. Much like I know many people who breastfeed and push it upon every

This is a great piece on how that slight imbalance is causing big issues, in China and India.

You were the one spouting that China and the Sviet Union are the alternatives to capitalism. They aren’t. No one purported that socialism WAS the alternative to capiltatism that would save the world. Capitalism and it’s core tenets are completely incompatible with environmental preservation.

But actually... again the individual choice of a family is not important. Me personally having 6 kids is not an issue. The overall trend is what is to be considered. When 4 of my mid-thirties friends are having no children my choice is offset. And for the record I don’t think I’m special in any way.

Vegans who get off on telling other people how horrible htey are for not being vegan are annoying. Go ahead and be vegan. I really do not find anyone’s dietary choices to be annoying or not annoying in and of themselves.

To act like either China or the Soviet Union or Venezuela are actually socialism or communism is so ridiculous that everything following it is impossible to give any credence to. It would be like saying the US is a free-market capitalist democracy. Putting a nation state together with their supposed ideology doesn’t

I just called my bestie out on our low stakes friendship. WTH. I mean she was right, my husband and kids probably wouldn’t be fond of her hooking me up with Texas billionaires but... get it together J.

Yes yes and yes. It’s not really that big secret. The evil is not fat but it’s also not all carbs. You can eat both fat and carbs and be satiated and lose weight. It’s easy to say cut out carbs because then you also cut out the bulk of the calories that are from sugar and very easy to over consume grains. Eating a
