I think it could be interesting to compile some of the answers people give to this, given the eye of the beholder idea.

Ha, it’s all very, very true. I am so grateful I didn’t have to deal with Instagram in high school or college because those accounts are literal highlight reels.

Yeah, that is a fair point and I did consider that, also!

I was just commenting to my niece about this. So many people leave the areas where their families live and it must make childrearing so much harder. I don’t know if you live far away from your extended family or if they simply aren’t supportive, but either way I think your observation is true.

One advantage I enjoyed: my dad was retired my whole life. My mom was partially retired most of my life. They were both lucky to be able to stop working full time earlier than many, but I guess this scenario only can apply if your parents are older!

Yeah, this whole post makes me feel shitty, even though I know it’s meant to be fun and just opinions. When people say Diana was unattractive, or up thread where Lana del Ray was unattractive before reinvention, I feel like a hag. I know I shouldn’t be reading it given my self esteem but it’s hard to look away. I hate…

Nope, this is reasonable. I’m 25 and my dad is 75. I don’t have a strong drive to have children, but I do freak out about wanting to decide sooner rather than later. A lot of people don’t think about this if they didn’t have older parents.

Tempted to write “But hey, at least I’ve got hair!” on my bathroom mirror.

GAH stylists. They need to teach them to smile politely and make up a compliment when curly haired people express that they don’t like/care to straighten their hair.

The way it is phrased (about how they “hate Jesus”) makes me hope this is satire.

Replying again to share a thing I learned basically today...

Love that wet food carb chart! I used it to pick my kitty’s food.

Unless you’re in Florida, where kitten season lasts seemingly ALL DAMN YEAR. I work with a rescue and we’ve still got bottle babies.

Good point. Also they might be itchy.

If I were rich I might blow all my money on sparkly dresses.

My cat loves “crinkly balls”. Go to a pet store and you’ll see them there, cheap and made of colored foil. Whatever gets your cat hunting is the toy you’ll need many of because they’ll disappear to who knows where.

If the cat had to be shaved anyway, it’s fine. A local rescue did it to one because of a skin issue/matted fur and the dino look will probably help him get adopted.

I just went to her concert and there were people dressed as “swifters” who stuck swiffer pads to themselves!

Ralph’s rage was a product of eminent domain though. Fix It Felix kind of represents the wealthy/elite class.

Wait, that’s why you can’t wear letters to bars? I always thought sororities just didn’t want pictures of people drinking/being debaucherous (apparently not a word but I like it) in letters. Interesting.
