Those things are not unrelated. 

Leaders need to lead, not follow a poorly informed populace. Like the fit of national hysteria when everyone decided to hate the TPP without having a damn clue about what it was. I’ve worked in medical billing and there’s nothing worth saving about private insurance. Medicare pays in two weeks, with private insurers…

Ok, you’ve convinced me to watch it.  

Over-educated people can be stupid, too. 

Huh. You know, I feel like I’m still confused. Not a critique on you, Kelly, just... my American brain doesn’t get it. Like, how does a duchy generate income? Tourism?

Idk, I agree that it’s a primary and going easy on Joe isn’t going to help anyone. 

Do you work with my mom?

Democrats are such wimps. It bums me out, where our brawlers at?

She has to live in the UK for awhile to get citizenship, but I expect them to move to LA after that. 

lol I am an old crone of 35. 

That’s a good point re. self motivation. When I was a teenager I abhorred people doing extracurriculars just to get into college, I did stuff because I liked the stuff. It just so happened that I was a two season athlete and in a lot of clubs because I wanted to do those things.

I saw my guidance counselor exactly one time in high school and I got into every school I applied to. What would a guidance counselor do? Why is it their fault? Did I not need guidance?  🤔

No, she did not claim heritage for free tuition. She does have a Native ancestor and put it on a couple of bar documents, but never used it to get ahead academically or professionally. More likely her employer used it to claim diversity, which is admittedly pretty shitty. 

Johnny Depp looks so dirty in these commercials. How does this sell cologne?

Nah, just a twin needle and some fiddling with the tension. 

This is how Proactiv worked back in the day, too. We can hope and wish and fight for a utopia, but until then we need to be able to navigate the world as it is. I bought the lingerie, I saw the line item, I read the terms and decided that it was worth it. None of this was hidden in any way. It was all right there, if…

I’ve been watching Leah Remini’s show about Scientology and they have really weird ideas about parenting. Idk if that stuff applied to the really big stars, though. It’s honestly a pretty nice thing to say about your daughter, and he put gorgeous last instead of first, which, you know, progress. 

There’s clearly something here that you don’t, or won’t, understand.  

That exact scenario happened to you? And your wife just up and left you and took the kids?

It’s never really been just a makeover show, it’s about bringing together people from different cultural niches to learn from each other. It’s quite a lovely show, actually.
