You feel that this is an appropriate response to a mother defending her offspring? This attempt at humor is actually rather disturbing. And even more disturbing if it’s even partly serious.

“‘She is crying for help:’ Britney Spears sparks concern,” blared a Daily Mail headline.

It’s odd behaviour, nudes but not nudes and not even really plural nudes more like one nude done several times, but she’s Britney fucking Spears; God bless her soul if she wants to do it and it gives her some joy then all the more power to her.

It’s not that Britney has a poorly curated Instagram... it’s bizarre behavior. And it IS concerning.

Joe and Taylor could already be married and have two kids for all we know

Hey, I love vegan food as much as the next guy — my wife and I are moving apartments and a top criterion is closeness to the vegan restaurants in the Lower East Side and Bowery — but this headline gives waaay too much weight to some rando.

LOL. I’ll believe it when I see it.

‘What’s the point in the cost of keeping all these animals when we can make it just as good and grow it in the ground?’”

The problem with the housing market is the increasing percentage of homes purchased by speculative investment firms. The market, as paid for by people who live in the home, is self-limiting. People will only pay a certain premium above what renting a similar property would cost them. But an investment firm, they’re…

Freedom to live as whoever you want to be.

We could also accept that she got her support and now the man also needs support. 

I have worked from home for 15 years (I am a proverbial “indoor cat” now LOL) and I think the dirty little secret about WFH from the corporations perspective is: employees for the most part are far more productive WFH because there are so few distractions relative to working in the office. It is extremely easy to sit…

Meh, I think imperfect ends when you slice a finger off your partner’s hand and abusive begins. Or when you berate your partner and mock him openly for being a man and taking a beating from you.

Yeah, the median price in Memphis is down but have you been there? 

Yeah, as a GenXer, pretty sure our generation was the first to experience crippling student loan debt.  Not sure where the whole, “we never had to deal with this!  Wheeeee!” attitude is coming from. 

I started my undergrad at an in-state public (R2) university in 2001. Tuition was around $3000/ year. It was over $5k four years later.
Eight years after that it was at $9600. It’s stopped there only because the governor instituted a system-wide tuition freeze. (That’s just tuition though, looking at what they project…

As an additional data point, I graduated from Syracuse in 1994 and my total student loan debt was right around what yours was. SU is an expensive-ish private school (TCA is about $77K/yr now, it was around $25K/yr when I went there).

“Give me five bees for a college degree,” we’d say

Yeah, $200k is insane for an undergrad degree in 2001. Had to have been private school in a large city where cost of living is out of control. I graduated in 2001 from the largest state school with $0 debt - tuition was just under $2000/semester, which I easily paid for by working. I graduated law school in ‘06 - from…
