Honestly, I think that a huge part of it is that white americans (and I say this as a white american) are marketed fantasies of our own oppression and righteous resistance. “White guy snaps and takes revenge” is its own movie genre, ffs; we white americans have proven ourselves to be a reliable market for these…

I’m a former Forever 21 employee who has a few former coworkers who are now at Zara. They look even more miserable now, and F21 is generally fondly referred to by me as “Satan’s Butthole.”

So in other words they read the most popular mommy bloggers and mommy forums and copied the subject matter they saw there.

I was in Zara just a couple of days ago and you are right, not one person looked happy to be there. I did my fair share of time in retail hell, so I get it, but this beyond the standard “hate my retail job” look. Not that anyone was rude (one of the ladies looked shocked when I told her I’d be happy to put back on the…

Hello, I know this is kind of a random thread, but do you have any words for women who are on the fence about having children?

oh of course not. I just can’t bring myself to give a shit about anyone in this company until the art theft ceases

I don’t think the retail employees have a lot of power over whether their employer steals designs.

Good for them. Still not buying from these thieving buttheads.

that’s cool

As a mom to a 3-year-old, I completely agree: motherhood is damn difficult, and also the most basic-ass job on the planet.

No, she was doing her job the way other critics do their job which is why they have special screenings for the press.

OMFG this. I am so sick of those nasty yellow pieces of shit on my feed.

I really wish our country had the sense to do something like this. But I know even comparing us to Germany to explain how it could work, would start with the “socialist! communist! nazi!” rhetoric.

And of course (a big part of) the problem is that we have too many guns to begin with, and we really do need to talk about taking away people’s guns. There are over 300 million guns, that’s one for every man, woman, and child in this country. We do not need so many guns, and we need to actively work to reduce their…

I keep seeing Minions posts. I always want to say “You do realize that the Minions are complete fucking morons, right? That’s how you want to identify yourself? Really?”

In Germany gun permits are only valid for 3 years and people applying for one have to go through a test to evaluate their character/sanity and their need for a gun. A person must be at higher risk than the general population and a gun has to be a reasonable tool for minimizing that risk* to be deemed as in need of a…

And if they are taken away, so what? Most people in the world live their entire lives without ever touching a firearm. I just don’t get the pressing need people have to own guns (I exclude rural people owning a rifle from that statement after seeing my cousin having to shoot a rabid fox to protect his dog).

Congress has actually blocked the CDC and NIH from being able to study gun violence (even though 34000 Americans die per year).

OMG. All masturbatory, gun-loving posts irritate me, but these cutsie ones really get my goat.

It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away, but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.
