That’s great that you decided to stop reading. I guess the question should be “why did you bother to post?”. You said yourself you decided not to read the article(which goes against your whole grilled into my head to read and research everything but whatever) so why do you feel the need to shower us with your awesome…

Ahhh so you were one of those annoyingly smug 18 year olds. See things haven’t changed much. I started voting so much earlier than you we had to carve out votes on stone tablets & postal votes were by carrier pigeon so my opinion is better than yours.

It was drilled into you to do research by others for whom that was a priority. So in a way, you were as highly influenced by your environment as the author, it’s just you were given better tools. But if you were into field hockey instead of the debate team, your parents didn’t prioritize substantiating viewpoints,…

I think you’re falling victim to the same line of thinking that plagues conservatives who believe we should all be able to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Perhaps practice some empathy? She had different circumstances than your own and in fact isn’t even blaming anyone for her lack of curiosity, merely…

It sounds like you were an unusually mature high schooler. The thing is, if everything is working for you personally, it takes an extra bit of self-awareness to see what’s wrong. She got there, but it took her a few more years than you did.

I don’t think she’s blaming others, she’s just highlighting the influence they had on her—she knows that she wasn’t very politically aware, and because she didn’t know enough about it to earnestly care about the issues, she used what resources were near at hand—her family and her boyfriend. I’m glad you made the…

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then…

I feel like I will never have so little going on in my life that I need to get into online fights with a child. And I am a very petty person. With very little going on in life.

I will not watch any one of these videos, but I will read this stories about them. Second-hand is about as close as I want to get to this.

vegans are tolerable.

“got a nose job cause you were snorting too much cocaine and you burnt your nose out.”

There’s always drama in the banana stand.

It’s there because I put it there.

This ad is under the article about the Depp-Heard divorce (on my end anyway), and I find it extremely appropriate.

He was shocked when she asked to be paid, telling her he thought the money was a gift, not a loan,” the insider said. “He’s a total loser and owes her over $2 million

Kylie had been bankrolling Tyga for well over a year”

I’m sorry his mom died, but wtf was he thinking not to sign a prenup? Dude you were having a mid life/pirate crisis marriage to a pretty young thing, and you didn’t think for just a second that a prenup might me a good call? Bad call, captain jack.

NO PRENUP!!

And even if he did choose a floundering neighborhood, it would become a gentrification nightmare. Many of the people who currently live there would be forced to move because they wouldn’t be able to afford it anymore.
