I’m not arguing the bootstraps at all. I’m saying I know a lot of people who lived at home and were offered several good jobs that they did not take for nit-picky reasons. Like there weren’t enough vacation days or there was a no WFH policy (because 40 hours a week in an office was too “soul crushing”) or they’d have…

I disagree. Navigating your way through a shitty apratment with several roommates is way different that giving your parents whatever you can a month. Living outside the home teaches you how to deal with budgets and resources and crazy people. Living at home wasn’t an option for me and even though living in shitty apts…

In some cultures this works out. I feel like American culture is focused on being self-suffiencent and independent, so this is actually detrimental to development. The most successful people I know lived on their own asap. The ones who lived at home with familial support are still struggling. Going out on your own and…

I worked a lot of shitty jobs and lived in a lot of shitty apartments and had a lot of roommates so I did not have to live at home. My parents were abusive and although they would have allowed me to live at home I decided that I’d have to be living in a cardboard box on the street before living with them would be a…

Nothing about the response is vitriolic. It was more so that the whole point of my post was that Dems should be working together to keep Trump out of Office (which is why I purposefully did not say which candidate I supported either way), and she took the opportunity to spam me with Bernie rhetoric. Like, no. I just…

JFC. A few weeks back I posted on FB that the Dems should be united in defeating trump and not hurling vitriol at each other. No where in my post did I mention either Dem candidate or supporter tactics. A “friend” who is rarely on FB and who I frankly forgot was on my list responded:

I mostly emphasize my eyes so—eylash curler, eyeliner, and shades for diferent areas of my eyes. I just started wearing CoverGirl foundation coolers becuase it evens out my ruddy complexion. As for lips, I stick with the Burt’s Bees shimmers. I have a little makeup bag for touch-ups.

I think any skin care regime is highlly personal based on gender and skin type. I am a woman with slightly oily skin who had cystic acne in high school and is prone to hormonal and stress outbreaks. Soap wasn’t working and was drying out my skin in the winter and the moisturizer was clogging my pores. Face scrubs were…

Maybe it’s because I prefer to have insider info on palces I visit, but I only use AirBnBs that are spare rooms in someone’s place in the States. Internationally I still prefer that mode, but I have rented places where the owner travels a lot, or is on vacay, or for pensions that use AirBnB as an additional way to…

I resisted using airbnb for a long time precisely because I know all of the ways they hurt communities.

There have been a lot of good responses already (kitchen; wash/dry; wifi), but I’d like to add that when I went to Greece I stayed exclusively on ABnB’s and it was super-heplful to be able to talk to a local who reccommneded shoping ares, places to eat, the best place to catch the bus, places of interest not widely…

If I’m seeing a guy I like dick pics upon request if we’re sexting. The pic itself isn’t arousing so much as thinking about him getting hard for me is arousing. But if a random guy on a dating app sent one to me, or it was flaccid, or if I had just started seeing a guy and he randomly sent one: no go.

Every woman is different. Personally, if I’m revved up, it can take me about 5min give or take. Ten minutes top from a cold open.

Female here. If I’m in a hurry or watching the right porn I would say it takes me 2.5 minutes to orgasm; if I want to enjoy it, I can prolong it up to an hour. It’s hard to give avgs because sometimes I can masturbate 2-3 times a day for a few weeks, then do nothing for several days. This is all to say women can be…

I recently went to Crete and while they don’t have packs of feral dogs running around, it’s pretty close. They’re everywhere: streets, outdoor patios, bus stops, parks...they’ll even sit under your table in case you drop food. One morning I got up at the crack of dawn to catch a 7am bus to a ruin site. It was still…

I couldn’t tell from reading the app’s description...is it actually an app for finding friends to do stuff with, or a dating app that’s hiding in plain sight?

Does no one wonder if maybe this woman felt unsafe with this dude?

Guys. Tonight my doorbell rang. I went down to find a KaBloom box on my porch. I was really confused, since the only person who would send me flowers just proved to be an emotionally unavailable dick and I doubted he’d changed his mind. I took the box upstairs and opened it to read the card: “Hapy Mother’s Day!”, it…

How dare they be allies!

I can see both sides of this issue. Most of my older family members all work in union professions. My mom taught in inner-city schools for 32 years and I watched her fight with her union (she was a rep) to keep classroom aides; janitors; general health/retirement benefits; budgets; and prep periods because she knew…
