I tried this when I was 8.

This actually happened to someone I know. If it’s like her case, it’s a combo of

I work with high school kids and when this came up in a debate, one of the very religious kids said, “THAT’S NOT TRUE, ABSTINENCE ALWAYS WORKS.”

It’s good to know that Americans don't have the lock on being sanctimonious assholes.

Eh, on the one hand if I had a sudden baby I would be just so screwed. Like financially and just in every other way. So I get why they would want to capitalise on their moment in the sun.

I’m always interested in the why/how. Like, what was going on that she wouldn’t notice a lack of periods? Was she just always super irregular? Did she spot throughout her pregnancy? Were they using some form of birth control and it failed? Did she gain weight? How much, and where? What kind of symptoms did she have,…

These people don’t deserve the public’s self-righteous outrage but I’m also super tired of everyone crowdfunding their lives. I’m ok with people not donating but, also, fuck off, Internet finger waggers.

Also keep in mind the Cersei/Jamie rape scene from last season was never in the books, either, and neither character progressed forward at all from there, nor did the plot.

I think the writers missed a perfect opportunity. They have repeatedly teased a “stronger Sansa,” even having her show some backbone in an earlier scene with Miranda. Instead of another pointless rape, and since they’re just making stuff up at this point anyway, why not select this moment to finally create a…

Thank you: “The problem isn’t that this episode included a rape, but that it did so in the service of bad storytelling. It told the audience nothing that wasn’t already known, and it didn’t advance any plot lines beyond where they already were.”

So she believes in free rent for herself, but charges rent to others (even though she “doesn’t need the money”)

So any word on when we’re going to let bullshit business practices/food regulations out of the way so that food banks/shelters/etc. are able to take on these items for the needy instead of them literally becoming garbage?

“Hideously offensive?” are you kidding? Using an outdated term is politically incorrect, but I’d say that’s mildly offensive, at most. It’s not like she said “crippled” or “lame”, jeez...

Surely the ones missing limbs will cost less though. Right?

Truthfully, the idea of Kate McKinnon as Ann Romney for 4 years actually made the idea of a Romney presidency less terrible to me.

She was upgraded to first class to give birth.

Confirmation bias is hella powerful. Google those symptoms and come up with 100 things that arent pregnancy.

This is very literally my worst nightmare. I have recurring dreams about finding out I’m pregnant after it’s too late. It actually keeps me up at night. As far as I’m concerned I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant needs to be reclassified from “reality TV” to “horror”.

World’s worst children’s book title though...

Those bonding hormones must be pretty potent because if a human being I was not expecting came out of me one day, I would not be proud, I would be absolutely traumatized. Both by shame that I didn’t realize and by having to acclimate to how my life had changed, and I wasn’t ready for it.
