a real fine line between “precious” and “previous” for those moms

Suggestion for Improved Software: Make it go both ways.

Plus like, I was broke when I lived in the middle of nowhere too. Middle of nowhere jobs pay less than city jobs, and minimum wage tends to be much lower out there. We’re all getting screwed everywhere.

That’s fascinating to me! I wonder why that is?

I love Trent so much, I totally get why Daria was into him even though she was way too smart and driven to ever actually be with him.

Nah, you just need to reframe the problem: if you’re never going to be able to repay the loan, just take out more! Infinite money! Same logic Mike McClintock used on VEEP when he bought a new car after sinking his money on a shitty boat. Flawless logic all around.

I mean the truly depressing thing is I am actually quite fortunate and have access to several of those things on your list, but it still doesn’t amount to escaping the paycheck-to-paycheck life. That’s how fucked our current system is, even the rigged game is near impossible to beat.

I mean it’s not, that’s not how they argue, nor the purpose. A good argument helps you flesh out your position, and is an excellent thought exercise (among other consenting arguers, of course. Devil’s advocate is a shitty thing to spring on someone who isn’t interested in arguing). 

So I know that this reply is from the Honorable Judge John Hodgman, and I just want to say I like what you choose for your screename, your Honor.

Nah, lawyers just like arguing. They’ll literally argue the opposite of their own viewpoint just for the sake of arguing.

True true.

Ocasio-Cortez has $7,000 in savings...experts recommend she have between $8,750 and $30,000 put away for a crisis

Les Mis also has a particular stronghold in musical theatre because it is often an introduction for those who aren’t inherently interested in musical theatre.

All of us children of lawyers are broken in exactly the same way lol

I’m genuinely sorry to hear that! I mean, I think lawyers are awesome. Lawyers are the people who truly go to the mat to protect our constitutional rights. Lawyers are the people who showed up in droves to airports to help immigrants when Trump tried his first Muslim ban. Lawyers are the ones now defending migrant…

Oh I know, GarbageCat. And guess what, when you have kids THEY’LL be like that too. Cannot tell you how many times I’ve been in a casual shouted debate (what, are shouted debates not casual for you? weird.) about what constitutes a sandwich when my opponent and I will pause for breath, and then ask “Hey, are your…

As a child of lawyers, can confirm that they (and also now, me) really do enjoying arguing that much.

Agreed, although I think it’s not a terrible idea for the dad to be there at the birth and for everyone to just be cool. Just because when True gets older she’s going to want to know about her birth, and it’s good for her to know her dad was present, and to not watch all her aunts yelling at him.

Splinter seems like a real cesspool, and I don’t really understand why. I try to go on there to read the news, but the atmosphere is just awful.
