Didn't Dodd-Frank get gutted a bit in recent years?

I had to dig a little. Looks to be John Anthony Castro and he's running for PotUS on the Republican ticket. I'd never heard of him. He is apparently tied to a good percentage of these lawsuits in the states.

Reminds me a little of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not exactly what OP was describing, but follows bucks the traditional magic girl trope.

I remember my wife crying saying she was a bad mother, and the baby hates her, and that she is so stupid to think she could do this. It was heartbreaking.

Same here. My wife's milk never came in. She had 3 different lactation nurses tell her "don't worry, it'll happen, just keep trying". Not once did anyone talk to her about the fact that it doesn't happen for some women. Not once did they provide support for the increasing likelihood that it wouldn't happen. It was just "keep trying, the milk will come".

I don't discount the benefits of breastfeeding, but I think our medical community needs to take a step back a little and think about this article and the other side effects of all that pressure they're putting on mothers.

Women receive an immense amount of pressure to nurse their newborns to the point where they are made to feel like they are failing as a mother if they don't or can't. Lactation consultants are the worst at this, many refusing to admit that sometimes it just won't happen and the mother will need to look into alternatives.

Don't discount the business around lactation and nursing. Some are most definitely taking advantage of the societal pressure to the mom's for the money. Any good dentist will be honest with the mother when a procedure is truly needed or not, but it's not always easy to tell if you're listening to a good one or not

Parents definitely have a responsibility, but don't place all the blame on them in this situation.

Maybe that's why he took up MMA training.

Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn't been much change since then.

And who determined steamed rice is "normal" rice.

Ricist!

Opening a walled community is always good for the end users. Promoting competition is always good for the end users.

And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where they would be no Tribble at all.

Not just his cousin... his FIRST cousin. His mom's niece!

He's such a great actor. He plays the stoic psychopath really well. I couldn't remember his name, so I googled "Walmart Matt Damon" and he came right up.

I'm hoping it's more like a much needed vaccine for the American zeitgeist. Get people discussing what another civil war would actually look like and hopefully get us to realize the need for civil debates.

I watched the trailer and Jesse Plemens delivery of "Yeah, but what type of Americans" sent shivers down my spine.

I didn't. It became so overused.

I think the joke is that whoever is badass enough to ride the bear is making the other patrons leave as fast as possible, even if it means throwing themselves through the window.

Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet that enjoyed the movie. It's my guilty pleasure watch.

It's completely ok to say "I really liked the thing, but I just can't watch it because I can only see the actor behind the character". If I found out someone punched puppies in their spare time, I would find it really hard to enjoy the things they are in. I don't think it has to be any different with an actor who's political stance you are vehemently against.

I like the fan theory that Event Horizon is a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer universe.

Gotta drive up that traffic and revenue somehow. He's done sold his soul a long time ago, nothing to lose at this point.

I disagree. I really enjoyed it. Nic Cage was giving a great Nic Cage performance and I liked the whole idea of the Dracula's relationship with his servant is just like an abusive relationship.

Plus, I'm a sucker for over the top gore.
