Yeah, I notice this with child care as well. I was picking up a friend to go out for dinner the other night. Her husband was looking after the kids while we went out. We were all standing out front chatting before heading out, and their neighbour came by and gushed about how she must be so grateful that her husband is…

I’m guessing that kind of attiude had something to do with his becoming your ex. Cuz, seriously, that kind of shit makes me homicidal, and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.

I feel like this is a version of Twain’s warning against arguing with people who buy ink by the barrel. Don’t pick a fight with a person who has a TV show and staff of very talented writers.

I desperately want a .gif of King George III from Hamilton doing his “Jesus Christ, this will be fun!”, but I can’t find one.

Seriously, of all the people to gratuitously piss off, he chooses John Oliver? Has he seen the show? Oliver doesn’t take prisoners when it comes to public figures who don’t have a sense of humour about themselves. I can’t wait to see what he does with this!

I frequently refer to myself as a “Godless Heathen”. It helps that I live in an area where doing so doesn’t put me at risk of violence or being ostracized.

My guess is that they assumed that people (read, women) talking about the kinds of harassment they were dealing with and the steps needed to combat it were exaggerating and being “too sensitive”. Then, when the GG and other assorted assholes actually started coming after them, they panicked and shut the whole thing…

I’m waiting for one of them to forget that The Colbert Report was satire, and start promising “Truthiness” in his administration.

I have resorted to keeping the butter dish in the cabinet above the fridge for a very similar reason. I was cat sitting for a friend’s kitten (happened to be my kitten’s brother). He knocked the butter dish off the table and ate 4T of butter at once. He was only 4 or 5 lb at the time. It did not go well. That much…

He sounds like a real gem.

A couple of years ago, I was cat sitting for my kitten’s brother (I have the mother and one of the kittens, my friend took one of the other kittens from the litter). Anyway, at the time, he was about 15 weeks old, and maybe 4 pounds. At about 3 am I hear a crash, figure the kittens are just going at their usual…

Even with unsalted butter, you’re going to be fine for at least a couple of days. (Provided your kitchen isn’t about 70F or so).

This. I know several people who have expressed horror that I keep a few tablespoons (3 or 4 days worth) of butter out on my table. They keep telling me it’s not sanitary, and bacteria will grow on it, etc. Butter isn’t actually a very good substrate for most bacteria. As long as you keep it covered, don’t leave it out…

Eeeeww!

Yes. They can pry my leggings/dress/boot winter combo from my cold, dead body. Comfy and work appropriate.

Yep, pretty much this.

I don’t know. I can’t believe that we’re still at a point where women simply saying “Hey, can you please not threaten us with violence and death when we express an opinion?”garners such a backlash that they need specific security procedures, and eventually just get shouted down and cancelled anyway. I’m just bloody…

Silly Anna! Don’t you realize “Opinions” are only for “Men”. Everyone knows women are too easily sayed by Progressive Polictics to be allowed to express opinions on the internet without helpful guidance from random men telling them where they’ve gone wrong.

I got a paraguard about 5 years ago. I also didn’t do well with hormonal BC, even the Nuvaring.

Well, in his fantasy land where the pesky posse comitatus act doesn’t exist, he could basically call in the 401st unicorn cavalry for all I care.
