Actual 5'8" or famous man 5'8" (which is actual 5'6", sometimes 5'5")?

This is from the report

So, like, “Zuckerberg stages photos to look average height” seems kind of bullshit since, he’s like a measly 2 inches shorter than average height.

12 grand is 12 grand, yes, but if you’re middle class, you likely have ways to raise that kind of money, like taking out a second mortgage. It’s a burden, but not necessarily a ruinous one. But if you’re like the families described in this article, that’s an impossible fortune. So the state then garnishes your…

After having my own kids get rung through the system for something that happened to them I am VERY wary of social services. My kids were the victims in this scenario and yet we had these people in our lives multiple times a week making both of our kids miserable in a way that I didn’t know was possible. My daughter…

I get this. It is really annoying to have anything that you are passionate about be labelled as a “women’s issue” just because women are the ones who speak up about it. I have seen affordable childcare/ early childhood education referred to as a “woman’s issue,” as if only women have children or care about their kids…

I think this raises an interesting question about public broadcasting in general and what we want out of a public broadcasting institution.

Given his celebrity, Sanders should be the overwhelming favorite three-and-a-half years from now.

Agreed. He is too old. We need a younger candidate in the 40-50 age range. The Sandersbase should work to keep up enthusiasm and Bernie should be looking at the Democrat ranks with an eye to endorsing a younger candidate from the get go.

I stuck it out since I grew up with the Muppets and wanted the show to succeed. I agree with the others who said it was starting to course correct in the second half of the season. Wish they had gotten a second season to keep with that new direction but such is the fickle mistress of network TV. I think they wanted to…

Same. It was like seeing a bunch of old friends who no longer were as nice as you remembered them being. It was a terrible show and they should have listened to the performers.

A big part of it is the number of guns in America: everyone has a gun, especially poorer Americans. European and Australian police departments do not have to contend with armed individuals anywhere near as often, where as in America I recently witnessed a traffic accident where a motorcyclist was knocked unconcious…

Do you also judge everyone who eats in nice restaurants? You can only eat that meal once and afterwards you don’t even have an item you can turn into something else like a christening gown or a quilt.

This. If you paid for something, it should be given to you. The perceived value to an outside party doesn’t matter.

And tons of men buy $300 jerseys without blinking an eye. A dress that is made to order and probably has a ton of lace, sequins, pearls, etc. sewn on it is going to cost more than a t-shirt. Surprise!

Right. If they were taking orders for iPads and not delivering then no one would question it. But it’s something that is important to women, so it’s stupid and everyone has to chime in to decide what these women’s priorities should be.

They choose to spend their money however they want. I lost a shit ton of money and the whole saga was on Gawker. I was subjected (I was quoted from a news source) to a lot of people telling me how stupid I was and how they would have spent that money. It didn’t make me feel better and in fact, made me feel actively…

I believe Mary Kay (or was it Avon?) had a younger leaning line for a while that turned out not very successful so I’m not surprised that milennials have switched over to Mary Kay. My college roommate used to sell the younger line and it seemed like every month I felt forced by her to buy something so she could fill…

“... an RN nurse with two master degrees and a lot of letters I can’t remember after her RN ...”

Divorce rates are so high because women are allowed to file for it. There are multiple studies showing there’s a stark jump in divorce rates that coincides with the point at which women became legally able to file for divorce.
