Bah. I don’t believe the whole ‘falling in love’ thing. It’s a hackneyed trope. I think you’ve got to find someone you’re compatible with, who makes you feel good most of the time. You’ll go through an infatuation phase because it’s fun and new, but really the object is to find someone you enjoy spending time with.

I am going to be awful and hate me for it.

I am doing it all right now. And everyone keeps telling me once I get to the MBA program it’s totally going to be where I find a dude. Which makes me feel gross as a woman and as a woman who is trying to get a post grad degree. How is it still that when I go to school for myself, it’s something to my family that means

I had a guy who messaged me 4 times; I finally told him “thanks but no thanks” and then he messaged me 3 more times after that. Geez, dude. That is NOT the way to go about it. Have some chill.

Trying out a Paloma (grapefruit juice, lime, tequila, omg) and feeling super lucky for finding a neat person via online dating. But I’m also really new at maintaining anything resembling a relationship? Which this isn’t, officially - we’re just dating, but it’s the most time I’ve ever spent hanging out with one person

Two for one wine.

Dark Horse Pinot Noir. It is delicious.

Your point about online dating is absolutely true. I think guys who self-select into dating sites—especially the free sites like PoF, Tinder, OK Cupid—are not looking for commitment. I’m moving to a new city in the fall and already started talking to guys on OK Cupid. Not that I was expecting much, but I feel like

I cried.

I will never be a Clinton fan and I voted for Bernie in the state primary. That said, Bernie,

Unclear leader. Bitter convention battle. Failure to come together. Splintering party. Opportunities to fight the real threat are lost while infighting distracts. The other candidate pulls ahead.

“A nearby surveillance camera shows multiple cars passing by the scene as Di Pietrantonio screamed for help. Monteleone notes that had someone stopped, her life might have been saved.”

are we starting to rev up the feminist support of Clinton? BECAUSE IVE BEEN HERE WAITING!!!!!!

Thank godthere was a beats brand music speaker thing in there! I was worried that Charlie was gonna exclude that part and in that case her career would have been OVER.

The way she’s vilified reeks of misogyny to me.

I’m voting for Hillary in the California primary. I think she is a policy wonk who really knows her stuff and she prioritizes reproductive rights, equal pay and paid family medical leave rather than treating them as afterthoughts or “women’s issues” to be shunted off to the side. Also, since we represent 53% of the

What an eloquent and well-rationed response. I also get jazzed about competence. Almost as much as I do about someone who campaigns on infrastructure. I’m a huge nerd.

I hope you don’t mind that I’m recycling this response from another post, but it’s a long response and the questioner basically asked why I was excited about voting for Hillary. Good luck making your decision!

Yeah, I will say that the Bernieorbust people actually infuriate me... Because it’s actually a really good (but fucked up) strategy to get people like me to consider voting for Bernie since so many Bernie supporters refuse to vote for Hillary. I find it terrifying that they would allow the GOP to potentially win the

For a long time, I wasn’t going to bother with the primary at all, because I was equally not-enthused-but-not-hating them. But I’ve decided to show up and vote Hilary after all, because I don’t think Bernie has strong enough plans to actually pull off implementing anything he’s talked about.
