right?!? My sexuality is very fluid and I remember that scene when Jack is sketching her and having all kinds of sexual awakening

I’ve always found Leo to be oddly genderless. I don’t know what it is about him, he’s a wonderful actor, but I just don’t find him appealing in a romantic type role. He looks like a wizened baby.

I’ve never found Leo to have any chemistry with a female, ever.  Of course, I’m of the camp that thinks he’s closeted.  I get why he wouldn’t want to come out and I don’t begrudge him that.  I think he’s a good actor, I just don’t think he’s great in romantic leads.

How about we give Puerto Rico statehood, and turn Alaska into a protected animal reserve where all the pre-existing garbage humans can be considered a food source? I mean, if we’re gonna have it- let’s have it all.

“He once held a 10-inch knife to the throat of former Speaker John Boehner for “heckling” him. He also threatened to bitea fellow House Republican for objecting to one of his earmarks. In 2014, his spokesman couldn’t really deny that Young had killed someone. Just last February, he asked the Alaska Municipal League,…

I, a (mostly) former Uber-Goth, wholly approve of a bone-and-teeth-laden tree. Then again, I have two Xmas trees, one black and one white, so my tastes are fairly specific.

Presumably their R&D team is hard at work trying to figure out how to make a tree look like shiplap, so we have to suffer through a white tree until they nail (ha!) that one.

I don’t understand why Fox News won’t cover the war on Thanksgiving since they seem to love covering wars on holidays.

Mel’s reading this and taking feverish notes for the White House decorations.

Popped out for some groceries today thinking nothing of it, then when i was done paying and leaving the store, there is was. A Christmas tree already up and decorated.

I was spanked as a kid and I turned out fine!

Spanking and yelling* at kids are both demonstrably harmful, whether it rises to objective levels of “abuse” or not. And both are usually rooted in trying to compel compliance and obedience. There’s just no room for respecting the child and where they’re at in the authoritarian model of parenting. But that…

Possible response inventory for, “My parents spanked me and I turned out fine.”:

My parent’s decision to no longer spank me because I didn’t need it strangely coincided with me superceding them in height, strength, and speed.

What creeps me out about the “I was spanked” argument is that it can read as though they’re saying “I was beaten and I’m not missing out on my turn to inflict pain.”

I’d like to see the breakdown by race and economic status with these outcomes.

With my first kid - a people pleaser with an affinity for rules and structure - I never even once had a thought (6 years in now) of spanking her. Time out worked great, and if I combined a time out with “You’ve made me disappointed” she’d be just gutted.

I was spanked, switched, belted, slapped, fly swatted, and berated- I have very minimal relationship with my one remaining parent #wonderwhy #generationalabuse 

Obviously don’t hit your children. Marks and scars lower the resale value. Sedate them and then lock them in the cellar, preferably restrained so they don’t ruin their nails clawing at the door.

Here ya go. Written with the thought (hopes?) that maybe Mrs Wohl might be embarrassed by her dumbass son. And remember, I didn’t say it was good…
