It reads more like that excuse note you wrote to your teacher in fourth grade and signed “My Mom”.

Exactly. They don’t actually believe that Megan or Oprah had anything to do with Phillip’s death, but pretending to believe it is part of their tribal racism.

But the problem is really that the LW doesn’t want to live near her friend.  

Isn’t it interesting that the LW and her friend planned to live near each other, yet for twenty years they didn’t make it happen, and that they made “life and career choices” that kept it from happening? And all of a sudden when the dream was about to become a reality, whoops, the LW and her husband took the…

That it’s awesome for the LW where she lives doesn’t mean it would be awesome for her friend, even assuming it was possible for her friend to move there.

There’s always some asshole ready to tell you how they know the perfect way to parent and it’s not how you’re doing it. Sounds like you have the right approach with your son.

Better way to eat a kiwi: take a grapefruit spoon, cut off one end of the kiwi, and scoop out the inside kiwi goodness. Throw away the fuzzy husk afterward.

Wow, she didn’t say that she let her kid have Pop Tarts and root beer three meals a day, she said that she doesn’t restrict his eating and that her husband wants his diet to be “healthier”, which could mean anything. I’m sorry that your parents made terrible choices but there’s no reason to project that.

It makes me so angry that any journalist would amplify the garbage views of people like Jane Brody or John Mackey. Nobody needs to listen to their uninformed, horrible opinions about what we eat or what our bodies look like.

Exactly, you can have one or both, but the presence of AT LEAST one of the two passes existing Midwestern casserole regulations.

That “but” is the universal signal to hang the fuck up on her. How disgusting that you explained you needed a boundary for a disorder she’s well aware of, and her response was “lol but let me tell you about my new funsies diet”.

Not gross, it’s a good point. If I eat uncooked oats my stomach is very unhappy; I honestly haven’t paid attention to whether the GI symptoms are worse than that because I just avoid it.

And a performative one; instead of restricting our diets with salad and light yogurt like those girly-girls, we’re gonna eat roasted dead animal carcass like the guys! Pardon me a sec while I take off my motorcycle helmet and whip my long hair around in slo-mo.

They always did. There’s a lot of social capital in being the Chill Girl.

“If they turn around and support reactionary violence, imperialism, and future illegal wars, then obviously they are a piece of shit.”

“Opposing the war” and “getting out of the draft” are not synonyms. What an odd argument to suggest that everyone who used their privilege to ditch a draft obligation multiple times, as La Pierre did, should be excused from blame because they were merely engaging in opposition to an illegal war, however imperfect. And…

WTH is “Science via New York Times” though?

I am not a big oats-in-uncooked-things fan either, and I am fine with unsweetened oat milk.

For rather a lot of us, but never let it be said that Jezebel let a little ablesim get in the way of a hot take.

What he’s claiming is that the NRA is so incompetent that they have no security plan, and they didn’t react to credible harassment and threats to its top executive by hiring one of the many companies that provides threat management and security in situations exactly like this one.
