Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:

• Mom
• Mommy
• Mama
• Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
• Uma
• Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
• Her name (when she’s being particularly deaf)

Considering you’ve thought about it, you’re already ahead of 95% of congress.

On the bright side, that means the horse can continue the torture forever. Autocorrect is a mean bastard, but I’m thinking this one’s not so bad.

That goddamned movie made leaves look delicious and my child self did not appreciate the lesson in reality versus fantasy. ಠ_ಠ

I’m guessing it’s that the main character’s baby is the “destined” lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.

Either way, I think Meyer would’ve come up with her drivel one way or another.

To a penguin.

Yes, last I’d heard the rapist Brock Allen Turner was going by Allen Turner. That rapist.

First we had to worry about microplastics invading our junk, now we have to fend off butterflies, too?!

This…pretty much describes the Democratic Party in general: mostly full of people who, by the standards 20 years ago, would’ve had an R by their names.

Absolutely disgusting. Our common ancestors are rolling over in their graves at their inhumanity.

I read it as GLaDOS first and got a little smile, then went back and reread it as Cave Johnson and laughed.

I desperately want to unsee this and I hate the fact that I can’t.

Well, since he’s clearly unnamed, I’m naming him Speck.

You can’t be a shitheel traitor if you don’t engage in some shitheeling treachery, right?

Was his country rent controlled?

I’d get a tiny violin to play, but I don’t shop at Target.

I haven’t looked that good in a photo in ages; I’m glad they got my good side.

As someone from the US, I propose a swap program. One pro-Trump admin Canadian for an anti-Trump admin person from the US.

In advance, no less.

IAAL(BNYL). In very basic terms, here’s what happened:

First court issued a ruling saying Trump admin can’t fire everyone.

Appeals court said Trump admin didn’t need to follow the first court ruling (at this time).

Trump admin tried to fire everyone.

Appeals court has now come back and said Trump admin does need to follow first court ruling.

Result: Trump admin is (legally) barred from firing everyone (for now).
