I read Jezebel through an RSS Feeder, but every time I click through to read the comments (which are often better than the articles) I want to kill someone.

not your mom's socks.
Went back home to get a cable. There were 10,000 full trash bags with our ceilings in them on our front sidewalk. . Ok not that many but almost. Looks like the 'simple fix' wasn't possible. Otoh? I wasn't there when whatever went Down went down. So I'm only about half as freaked as I would have been. Probably.

I invited him to come in and check and he just said that I could've turned it off before I answered the door.
It's been my experience that when someone is playing music so loudly that I can hear it in my house, I can hear it from outside of the door.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because every time I go to IO9 now I feel constrained and frustrated and end up yelling, "Fuck you, IO9!"
That's because you're a skimmer and don't go to [link] So you deserve the anguish.

I totally agree, the earth will still be around.
One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
But the earth abides forever.

Ahhh, so much better.
But now I'm yelling, "Fuck you, David Kelly!"

Because books.
Seriously? A fourteen-year-old isn't capable enough to care for his own three-year-old sibling for a half hour? And the kids' mother lost her job because of the caution she received.

From that article:
England's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children actually states no one under the age of 16 should be allowed to babysit!
I was babysitting at 12, and a busy babysitter, at that. I know that from what I've heard from coworkers and friends, most teen girls are done babysitting by the time they go to high school at 14.

Because books.
I was babysitting at twelve, too! Sometimes for infants!
