Greed, fraud, dishonesty, arrogance. These are just some of the ways we describe Wall Street.

Very off topic, but: I’m surprised to see him using “tod@s” and wondering whether I should be surprised. Is gender neutrality becoming that commonplace among Spanish speakers that someone who didn’t even have a FB account is using it? I’d also love to know how a native Spanish speaker would read that phrase aloud: do…

I freaking loved Hanoi. I was just stunned by it. Glad you are having fun (and sorry you are sick)!

OMG THAT LAST ONE I CAN’T! How are we supposed to have another president after this? What even is the point?

Beautiful!

Seconding what Poodletime said. A friend of mine went through nearly 5 months of intense postpartum depression without telling anyone what was happening. Once we found out, people were setting up visitation schedules, weekly phone calls, play dates, gift baskets, the works.

My mom started drinking in her 20s and didn’t stop until she was in her mid-forties. She tried and failed repeatedly. Then she tried again one more time.

In 2012 I read two blog posts in rapid succession that catapulted me from “bright curious person” into “rabid feminist”. The first was Kate Harding’s Schrodinger’s Rapist and the second was a pair of “creeper” letters on Captain Awkward.

Honestly, stories like yours give me hope, because I’ve been single so long I can barely fathom meeting anyone who hits the checkboxes you describe.

Thank you!!! That made my night! :)

There’s really nothing about this comment I would change. Not a damn thing. You are a shining star, with your Obama baby video and your delicious tuna salad (SERIOUSLY FEED ME) and your yoga pants and your excellent taste in TV-versus-people.

I am blushing SO HARD right now. :D Like I know it’s an Internet comment, but I am pasty and easy to please and the blush is real.

Why not pay half of it in April, and leave some money in your savings just in case until you’re more financially stable a few months later? You’re really not going to save that much by expediting your repayment by a few months, but you’re taking a big risk if you have an unpaid credit card balance that starts accruing…

Oh, for sure!

I feel like the outspoken, vitriolic racism took a major upswing when Obama won the primary in 2008 and it never really went away. My serious concern is that if Hilary gets the nomination, the country’s dormant sexism is going to erupt in much the same way, and if she dares to win, we’ll have to endure 8 years of it…

I have been unemployed twice and it super-duper sucks. You are entitled to all the feels.

This girl is me. This girl is all of us.

When you think about how much Obama loves kids, it’s almost unfathomable that he took on the presidency while his daughters were still so young. Look at Sasha when Obama started his term:

I am now full-throttle rooting for Ted Cruz to win the Republican primary, because Donald Trump hates him enough to run Independent against him out of spite and consequently rip the GOP into an angry red-white-and-blue confetti.

I really disliked this episode and it had nothing to do with Sam being eaten (sorry Sam, I’m with Carol on this one, you were never gonna make it and she should have just taken you out back one day to look at some flowers. Maybe then your mom would still be alive).
