This is very much incorrect. Alcohol use before placental formation has not been linked to FAS. The placenta doesn't form until about 8 weeks after conception, 10 weeks from the last period. Until the placenta forms, the baby doesn't have a link to mom's blood supply, which means her blood...

The idea that it was "real" because a 3 year old insisted and wouldn't be swayed is so contrary to the experience of any parent that it's bewildering anyone took it seriously. I've seen a four year old who just learned about being the namesake of a dead relative insist that the relative was in...

Because being Instagram infertile requires keeping every needle you ever injected and every pill bottle you ever got from a pharmacy during your "journey" and there's a lot of evidence of what you end up doing to yourself. I've seen about a thousand photoshoots from women in their 40s with a...

Oh damn then I'm just an illiterate and Jake really IS wrong about everything he complains about. The more fool me for thinking he could ever be right about something.

That "reply guy" chart was amazing but the lede got buried. Jake may never have experienced a "mass abandonment," but not one of his reply guys continues to reply at him for even 90 days. A single calendar quarter of relationship building is forever out of Jake's reach. The only people who talk...

Yeah, Gen Z, kids ages 6-24, tell Bad Touch Uncle Zach alllllll about what you want from your mommy. What makes grownups COOL to you and would make you want to get EXTRA CLOSE to them? He really needs to know!

Oh man I loved that kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun!

Of course someone like Zach would think tuckpointing is stupid and only for aesthetics. The idea of anything being done for a practical purpose is foreign to him. Imagine if he was an actual homeowner, how much value his house would be losing from these galaxybrain ideas that house maintenance...

I wonder if the clearly awful mold problem in their sewage-ridden Florida home has anything to do with Heather's brain issue. Most people who go nuts about "toxins" in their house are crazy but I shudder to think what you could culture if you took an agar plate into their sadshack.

Cecily's taken all this time to make her child into a living tribute to her favorite bad 80s album.

Nice digs. If Mami and Papi die soon I bet they go live there, she'd love nothing more than to get Jackson away from the supportive members of his family and also be closer to her favorite Disney park.

Becky's parents have been married since the 70s. When they married, no state in the US even had the idea of "marital rape," which is a concept developed in the 70s, in their laws. The whole reason lots of old cultures make rapists marry their victims is that then no crime has been done. Rape...

Those court documents are a genuinely hard read even for a hardened asshole like me. Imagining even for a moment what that child's life and experience of the world is -- a paralytic log capable only of feeling pain, never held, every bodily function conducted through tubes, and all while she is...

Jake is exactly the kind of "friend" who'd ignore someone trying to talk for days or weeks, then claim it was due to a tech issue when asked why he could be active on social media but not in responding to his friends. It's an equivalent lie to sending your teacher a corrupt .doc file to buy a...

Unusual for this thread, I have good news. The reality show contestant I posted about earlier, her baby looks like he's thriving at home and the doctors have given her the all-clear to move back to Memphis, where she lived before she needed a top-flight NICU (pretty awful that Memphis doesn't...

Kind of think this is a good time for it, 4/20 means if it's celebratory after a guilty verdict, people might just share a toke and go home.

I don't think Becky understands that post-babushka bomb, men no longer think your affectations like clown fandom or Disney/Star Wars obsessions or ruminations on her theater tech past are adorable and childlike. She's now become the middle aged woman who puts her clown collection on doilies in...

Libs are all "talk shit get hit" until they get hit for talking shit. Anyone have video of this totally innocent person who defended "him"self from cops?

Well I'm sure the parents who say their kid can be anything will be perfectly happy with a desister, too. Oh, right.

Since Jake is a big "technically correct: the best kind of correct!" aficionado, I wonder what the knife story relates to. He's always saying it as someone had a knife. Never that it was drawn or used. I'm going to guess Jake tried to get intimidating with his mom in front of her new boyfriend...
