No, Roseanne didn’t give John Goodman his break. Although not a big name, Goodman was established before “Roseanne” came along.

It’s also generally people who don’t understand that government actually does do some shit for them, and that it’s not super productive to throw the baby out with the bath water.

This was my mother’s justification for voting for Trump, when she’s voted straight-line D in every election that I can recall her voting in. And now she is so embarrassed by how it’s all turned out that she refuses to discuss politics at all and gets pissed off and shuts down when other people bring it up.

Yes to your last line. I fucking HATE people who want to sit back and “blow up the system” because it generally means they know they’re going to be OK and fuck the poor slobs on the bottom who will suffer the most. There’s nothing “progressive” about that.

My mom and her sister were fucking obsessed with those baskets. They each have like 3 in their basements and were always looking at the catalog to see what they would buy if they were rich enough to get more...baskets.

There are still ladies out there selling Mary Kay. My sister is a professional actress and she appears regularly at this one theater and there’s this lady who attends shows there that adores her. This lady then sent my sister this huge gift box of Mary Kay products and was like “I’m a seller so you just let me know if…

Seriously I would rather see baskets then one more post for It Works! No it doesn’t work.

Agreed, although I’m pretty biased as both of my parents worked for the company for 20+ years. Say what you will about multi level marketing, but the craftsmanship that went into each basket really was special. And not to mention what Dave did for that whole Dresden area - the jobs he created, with full health care…

It warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart to see that someone has finally bought that building. I just have an irrational love for the damn thing. I’m sure I’m not the only Ohioan who feels this way. I mean it’s a giant goddamn basket in basically the middle of nowhere. It’s a treasure. Utterly pointless, but…

This is a cop-out. They don’t have to give impassioned speeches or whatever, but they could and should have done a little more than wearing a damn pin.

But the reality is that all these actors and filmmakers get obscenely paid way beyond their worth or what should be reasonable in a democratic society, it’s just that the men get paid vastly more.

We had Take Back the Night marches when I was in university — late ‘80's to early 90's. It has a long and storied history. It isn’t new.

Weren’t they previously in an open marriage though?

Yeaaaah, I think that’s a pretty weird thing to get angry at him about. He said: “I want to take a moment to just say thank you to Eve, who always stood by me for 22 years. And my four children — Clara, Esther, Jamyan and Anouk — I love you. ... There wouldn’t have been any Emmit Stussy without David Thewlis and…

My mom sat on the couch next to me, listening to Oprah, tearing up because she’s one of those unnamed single moms who worked her ass off to make sure I went to college and had every opportunity. Which made me tear up. So now I need to go out in that world and be the biggest badass I can be, so I can make Mom and…

I really respect your patience because that person correcting you made me irrationally annoyed. You are truly living the Sarah Silverman compassion life! Because I leapt straight to “THERE IS A WORLD OUTSIDE OF AMERICA, SPELLING CORRECTOR”. Colour me impressed by your ability to respond with some humour at that…

Ok y’all. 2018 is going to the be the year of no shits given and no shits taken.

I recently moved to a new city and I’ve been spending most of my free time settling in to my apartment, shopping for stuff for the apartment, or watching TV on the couch with the dog. Going out just hasn’t been a priority. So I made the decision today that I would head to a local dive bar and have dinner there. I…

Earlier this week I got the results back from a food sensitivity test. I got the test for Christmas and it is one of these take-at-home tests. I suspected that it would tell me one or two foods that I know I have issues with, but. . .
