"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." Stephen Colbert.

Stewart/Col…

In my experience, many of the people I know with poor self-esteem have overcome a lot of challenges. Adversity tends to scar people.

I am far, far too hungry to be watching videos about rabbits.

I agree. Most people don't actually like root canals or hip replacements, but that rarely comes up in conversations about root canals or hip replacements.

Yes, still cats. Cats that are surprisingly good at opening doors.

Mine likes to sit on my lap. He is generally not a cuddler. This is the only time he sits on anyone's lap.

But if you just work harder for the people who are screwing you over, you'll motivate them to stop screwing you over!

That's how it works, right?

Yes! I'm infinitely more motivated to give a client something of value when I'm being paid and paid fairly.

I agree that sometimes it is best (either for the individual or the relationship) to simply take a breather, but I think that is very different from intentionally withdrawing in order to hurt someone else.

How are modern school curricula biased in favor of girls and women?

I don't think that anyone likes overcooked vegetables!

Have you tried cutting down rather than eliminating dairy entirely? It's helped me a lot.

I think that's the first time I ever heard of anyone using "white people food" as anything but an insult.

These articles are so great at bringing people together.

I don't think so, but I've never really been to one. A small, shady-looking day spa may get that association, though.

Do you have any other weird sensory stuff going on? A sensory processing disorder runs in my family and what you're saying sounds familiar.

Not to mention, a fair amount of trafficked women end up working in massage parlors and nail salons :(

(If I remember correctly.)

Pardon me if I'm asking a silly question, but what are these people drinking the coffee for? The caffeine?

It is not pathetic to expect professionals in a professional setting to act professionally.

I think it depends on the cat. My sister's cat had the same problem, and never stopped doing it.

I feel like this would make much more sense if I were high.
