I literally plugged my ears and covered my face with my arms at that point. And then I couldn’t suck it up to watch the second night.

I totally thought this too but the abuse by the A-list actor started when Haim was 14 in 1985. Pitt didn’t even move to LA until 1986 and even then never booked a single gig until 1987.

DC is extremely weird. If you haven’t been, I suggest go once and only once. I have never experienced a city so regimentally segregated. In maps it is actually divided into quarters and the last fourth is the “shitty” quarter.

Whoa! I thought I heard the worst nasty side comments from my dad but that is so much worse, he is a dr though so maybe it’s a med thing

Are we fighting gastroenterologists now!? If so I'm with you, they keep making me ultrasound my gallbladder, even though the problem is in my throat. Also Fuck Trump!

In a similar way 15 years ago I discovered that LA has a subway, thrilling no one and mildly embarrassing myself.

I got the flu this week (and have been nowhere near Hillary) currently I am netflixing and praying for the sweet relief of death. If she's doing better than me she has better drs (given) and more stamina than I can ever muster.

I’m a non-Asian person. I was shocked when I head someone use the word Oriental, I had always been taught it was a quasi-slur. It was incredibly common when I moved to Canada in 2005, normal things like Oriental Studies. Honestly they use it pretty regularly. I’m not defending the term in any way, but the history of…

I am so sorry. Something very similar happened to me and I did exactly what you did. Please don’t feel bad, hey we’re both alive to tell the tale. As for your husband, try telling him about it again. A lot of guys react to news by either fighting or joking. He could have reacted by saying “where was he? I will kill…

100% this. I was at a school board meeting this week where a “member of the community” said we shouldn’t increase adult-Ed (young people trying to better themselves, clearly they’re up to something) because two years ago a student had an epileptic seizure while driving and crashed into his gate. He had clearly been…

Ugh this reminds me of middle school when a bunch of birds were fledging and some girls found them and decided to “save” them by putting them in their lockers. Surprise, surprise, they all died. I’m sure there is a decision chart on this issue.

I’m super lucky. When I was 20 I had a mole that I just thought was ugly and went to the dr to get it removed. He did a full exam and was like “uhh, ya we need test a lot more here.” Getting those first biopsies was terrifying. I literally could not explain to my BF why I had a couple small cuts because I was crying…

Me too. I am still in my 20s and have already had 8 surgeries for early stages of skin cancer. Living in SoCal, I haven’t gone outside without my arms, legs, and head covered in years. I’m an atheist and not at all conservative in my dress. Oh also I love when men tell me to “show some skin, it’s summer” and then I…

Of course it’s appropriate to talk about her family. The problem is that her major contributions to the world are treated as a hobby.

A lot of people have done bad things and go on with their lives. On the scale of wrongness what she did barely rates. She already had a public shaming. What does she deserve now? Should we beat her? Starve her? By writing this post you are trying to get her fired. Low.

Ya, I like these two in theory but they are so tiresome. I could go listen to this exact “how awesome are we?!” conversation anywhere. At least if I go to a shwanky coffee place in person I can accidentally spill a drink on them.

The fundamentally weird part of the “naughty bits” is that you can injure them, kids do get UTIs and physical injuries to their genitals. So by naming them forbidden you are encouraging kids to say nothing if they are in pain.

Ya, I’m with you, I live in Oxnard and there is no way I would go to Victorville without someone with me.

I agree but most of the instances cited in the article were of names that after the baby was years old inexplicably became popular. A lot of people experience this at some point in their lives and its not anyone’s fault. My mom didn’t know that naming me Kate would make puberty especially awkward with the massive…

I (a white American) just learned that black people are humans too! Whoopsie!
