I actually thought that picture was from a purity ball for a second there.

I was going to say the exact same thing! Evangelical Christianity isn't exactly known for being opposed to child brides or in favor of rights for young girls and women, anyhow. I always think it's hilarious when they try to mock or are outraged by other countries/religion's thoughts on the matter.

Getting creepy with a "duty to protect" and the whole "have her home by 8pm, I'll be sitting here cleaning my shotgun" is just as misogynistic and bad.

She looks pretty normal for Norn Iron, to be honest with you.

Not in my experience when I lived there or in the people I am related to, she looks like Cincinnati or bumfuck Appalachia. She genuinely appears retarded/FAS. I'm kind of surprised that an elected official still talks like that on their public Facebook, though. I suppose I shouldn't be these days, though.

Any hockey player who tried to leave the ice in the Stanley cup finals for loving cramps would have been laughed out of the NHL. Baby Bronbron should take some midol and harden the gently caress up.



I find the use of "pussy" distasteful, but let's just say that this and similar memes have definitely been alllll over my feed from my hockey enthusiast friends.

Hockey as a sport is still deeply entrenched in tough-guy mentality (one of the appeals to me personally, but yeah that macro is dumb.) It was only recently that the last player not required to wear a face shield actually aged out of play. If it wasn't required to wear one (helmet/shield/mouthguard, whatever) when you signed your contract, they can't make you start. Watch "Slapshot" or Knuckles on netflix... Ones a comedy and ones a documentary, gives a lot of insight into the mentality of hockey players.

My boyfriend was almost a pro hockey player, until a torn MCL took him out for nine months of rehab and he could never recover his speed in skating. He has a full bridge, part of his ear missing and a repaired finger from where someone nearly bit it off. The game is actually really complicated, much more a game of chess than checkers, but there is a distinct element of violence and physicality.

Just wanted to point out that it was actually helmets that just recently became mandatory for everyone - they grandfathered it in and the last player without one retired in 1997. The part you still don't have to wear is a visor, which is just as insane given that you're playing with a six-ounce piece of frozen rubber that frequently travels at 100 mph+. Plenty of players have sustained terrible eye injuries before they were finally convinced to wear one. There's a lot to be said for being a fierce competitor, but hockey still absolutely has a lot of tough-guy nonsense and celebrating the kind of thing that ends careers is kind of stupid.

You are correct, I phrased that poorly. I meant that as new things became required, helmets, then face guards, different pads, etc., players were grandfathered in and didn't have to adopt the new safety standards unless they wanted to.

So for your daily dose of sociopaths on social media, a woman is being investigated for killing her son, basically for the MySpace/Twitter/Facebook likes. She had a feeding tube port installed on him when he was a baby and then force=fed him salt until he died, all while updating Facebook. She also watched a child for awhile and claimed it was hers on social media. Mysteriously, both boys under her care would get constant severe ear infections. In the case of the boy she nannied for, they cleared up as soon as she was no longer looking after him.

Good lord, that article is horribly written and broken down into parts.

Jesus fuckkkkk.

Has a statistically significant portion of school children ever been killed by other students having peanuts on their person?

I get food allergies, I've been in the service industry for 14 years. Luckily, now I mostly work in Michelin-starred places that know and take such things seriously but I have always gone above and beyond to know about allergens and cross-contamination, it's really important. But seriously? At some point if your allergy is that deadly with that small of a trigger, there's no way you can safely go to any public place... Restaurant, bakery, mall with a food court, office building, etc. it's impossible and ridiculous to expect everyone else to accommodate you.

That's what I thought the joke was. "You're not in Kansas anymore" being synonymous with "Don't get comfortable, you're not home anymore". If that's the case, it tickles me how many people got so indignantly upset over a pop culture reference they didn't get.

agreed but I think it was more that they thought it was supposed to be a double entendre and it kinda wasnt... Still pretty clever.

Dude my mom is a very smart, capable woman. She has a double BA, two seperate MAs and has been a college professor for nearly 30 years. I cannot convince her to stop going to the loving chiropractor and he doesn't make her feel better, SHE HURTS WORSE after nearly every visit. It's loving infuriating.

I'm 21. I'm just the first-born and my mom's been slipping into "confined to the bed permanently" status over the past decade or so and has continued having children, so I've been heavily involved in the care of small children for about half my life.

The latest one is the same age as the "Forum Babby" avatar and she says there won't be anymore, but we'll see where that goes.

Yikes, that's really sad. I'm sorry :/ is your mom part of Quiverful or...?

Uh, she's spent too decades in various stages of getting pregnant or being pregnant, and didn't even take a break while she was laid up with two broken sticks. You seriously think adults can't gently caress without someone getting pregnant? Stop pretending you don't see what's loving weird about this. If you really don't, take a loving break from jerking off to broken-leg pregnancy fetish porn and read a goddamn book or something.

I am pretty sure the person who posted the story did so because she knew it was a bit unusual. How do you not?

Edit: your name rules when taken in conjunction with your post. Thank you for that.

As a non-fat, under 30 woman, I guarantee that I'm not jerking off to said porn, but yeah, it's not weird for a woman to get pregnant from having sex... Especially one that seems to like having children. Annnnnd that's the last time I'm gonna comment on this other goon lady's mom's sex life because she's right and this got really weird.

But for real, pretending fertile women don't get pregnant when they have sex or pretending disabled or injured people don't have sex is loving retarded.
