In our state, it literally cost us more to send our child to preschool and kindergarten (we made the choice to continue privately in K because we already knew she’d have to switch schools in 3rd and 6th grade & wanted to minimise that stress as much as possible) than it cost to attend the university we both worked at,…

If the Baton Rouge DA actually gave a fuck, that might be worth something, but given that the point of the article is that they DON’T, I’m gonna bet Blakefelix isn’t quaking in their boots 🙄

Right?! I learned to shoot a bow, like an actual fucking hunter; if you need an AR-15 to kill Bambi, you’re a shitty-ass hunter! (No shade on this girl, just her grandfather who is using her as a political prop.)

Speaking of mutual beards, have you met SCOTUS Chief Justice & Mrs. Roberts?!

When I lived in China (admittedly over a decade ago now), the wines were almost all Australian/NZ or European. You *could* drink the Great Wall Wine, but I don’t recommend it!

Hey, I was ungreyed for the better part of a decade (long-time Jez reader) and then suddenly, for literally ZERO reason that I can discern - and trust me, I’ve asked more than once! - I was back in the greys and here I remain.

According to these whack jobs, those are “snowflake children” that some people actually see as their ‘biblical duty’ to adopt. And obviously then have them implanted and (hopefully) carried to term, otherwise *they* would be hung by their own noose...

Schrodinger’s Murderer

Or of colour...

So, um, am I the only who would fuck both Young and Current Tom Steyer?

Acetone and non-acetone removers would be my guess, but I’m also not even remotely offended by this, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Hey, I never cared very about about learning languages the way they are taught in school (so. much. grammar!) but as an adult, I discovered that a love of the culture can make a huge difference; songs, movies, newspapers, apps/programs that focus on teaching you vocabulary you can actually *use* in real-life is much…

Except it wasn’t even a clip of the movie he was promoting, which is REALLY messed up! It’s a pre-recorded interview; it’s maybe 5 minutes of editing work to add it in afterwards, while doing the normal editing. It seems like Terry Gross wanted to make a point and Driver -IMO, rightly - enforced his pre- and…

Seriously, I have such an extreme phobia of hearing my own voice AND of listening to voicemails (I have *no* fucking clue why this is so psychologically traumatising, but it is!) that it’s borderline pathological. I have never set up any voicemail or left a voice message since I became an adult - as a kid my mother…

Pederasts?! I mean, a) is it 1940 and b) you *are* aware of what goes on at British boarding schools, especially with male students, right?! ‘Buggerists’ would be a more appropriate term, but there is certainly some cultural differences at play here...which is no excuse, but it is reality :-/

My Tipsy!

I’d find it fascinating if this wasn’t my local pizza place. Your tolerance for utter lunacy decreases drastically when it’s your neighborhood haunt, that you’ve managed to be in the days before both the shooting and the arson. It’s fucking terrifying that the state of mental healthcare in this country has allowed…

In my county/state, it is certainly illegal to disclose that someone has been fired, or even their reasons for leaving. All we could do (in the few years I was in an HR position) was confirm that someone had in fact worked for us and the dates which they were hired and they were left.

I know I’m back in the greys for some reason, but I would really zppreciate someone ungreying this: https://powderroom.kinja.com/thoughts-on-counter-protesting-anti-abortion-protesters-1616491461

No, the get their children stolen from them and sent to live-in“reeducation camps” where they are forced to abandon their native language and speak Mandarin and be indoctrinated into Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
