I’ll second the vote for Kingdom.  Let me tell you, K-dramas aren’t really my thing, and I think zombies are totally played out.  But somehow Kingdom managed to keep things fresh, and I wound up binging both seasons.

I’m not changing for anyone. The end. There’s a reputable study out there somewhere that says men’s quality of life and life expectancy go up when they are married while women’s go down.

Now if only I could find Cadbury Crunchies or Violet Crumbles that AREN’T $4.50/ea in the little ‘import’ section of the candy store...

Also, anyone involved reserves the right for the middle armrests to be placed down.

Midwest bar culture is different just better than in other areas I guess.

From Reddit:

“Thanks for bringing my attention to this - it looks interesting. I did a bit of googling in Japanese. Wikipedia explains that the 2011 performance of the stage play was adapted to film as part of the “geki x cine” project in 2013 (it goes for around 3 hours so I doubt much was cut). I believe that is most…

It’s the I won’t vaccinate any future kids things that gets to me. You can be dumb but don’t bring the kids into it. 

Also, the HBO doc Crime of the Century. I was so furious after watching it, I couldn’t sleep. The companies and their sales forces deserve drawn-out, agonizing deaths. 

Orrrr- he just needed to move on from his marriage and he was unhappy.

Full disclosure: I have an unexplainable, long-rooted visceral dislike of Olivia Munn. And until now, that black hole of scorn has been light-years from the luminous love I feel for J. Mulaney.

“Shows such as Suits led John Lambert to believe he could ‘practice’ at being a lawyer by performing tasks that he believed would be beneficial to his customers without significant risk, just as the character ‘Mike Ross’ in ‘Suits’ practiced law without a law degree or license and kept that secret without penalty,”…

I had a dream job at 24k in 2010 and I could only pay the minimum on my student loans. The principal ballooned by thousands in just a year, so I switched back into teaching in private schools because they paid me 60k. It was a really soul sucking transition—my parents and siblings didn’t go to college let alone…

I never understand that thinking. I had a boss call me a bad person who only cared about money because I was departing for a higher paying job. I was like, dude, I can’t live off of 12$ an hour.

My dad made 4.25/h in the early 80s, but had amazing benefits and a pension. Twenty years later I was making 8.33/h with no benefits or pension.

I got offered close to my dream job in 2018...for 25k...in Boston. I turned it down and went back to school instead. I actually made more as a grad student, with better benefits, than I would have at that job and that's saying something.

Only since menopause. It’s remarkable how invisible I am now. I’ve actually had people bump into me on the sidewalk, then say, “I didn’t see you.” Yesterday I stood at an empty counter in a clothing store, with a worker standing behind it, utterly not seeing me. When I asked if this was the place to pick up…

I used to work at a trade association, and the CEO was such a tight ass. He refused to adjust the receptionist’s salary: $27k in 2001. He was convinced the position was overpaid even though this was in DC and he required a college degree for the job.

The bank I used called it the “First Home Club,” or something similar. There were no income bands you have to be in that I recall either.

What is the name of the program? Are there income limit bands you have to be in to get it?

Talk to a mortgage guy NOW. A lot of banks have special deals for first time home buyers, where you save money (deposit it into a special account), and they match 25% of it, up to a $7,500 match. I believe this is a federal program that banks offer. The catch is, is that you have to make the deposits over a 1 year…
