Whew! Now that we have that crisis out of the way, how goes the efforts on the resurgence of the PLAGUE? 

WELCOME TO JEZEBEL.

The same can be found almost every day on CNN and Fox News.

Parents negotiating with toddlers.  Yeah, that’s turned out well, hasn’t it?

I’m sorry, but FUCK the press. They want controversy and if there isn’t any, they will try to create it for clicks. You can see this in press conferences all the time, an recent example with reporters CONTINUALLY asking Belichick about AB after he made it CLEAR he would only talk about FOOTBALL.

“Scamming”?  She has no money, and they knew this when they started.  Hard to feel sorry for the lawyers; they knew what they were getting into.

Right? A buddy wrote an entire book on it! #shamelessplug

Imagine if all the time and effort that are being put into such demonstrations were instead geared toward helping those in one’s community. Granted it’s not as “Instagrammable”, but..

“Most of us.”  I seriously doubt you have any idea what being poor is actually like.

“Given all the news”?

People seem to go out of their way to find things about which to obsess, which, as someone who has my own anxiety and panic disorder issues, is exactly the LAST thing you want to do, because if you LOOK…

The Noisli app has a lot of options for creating your own combo of white/brown/pink noise, as well as nature and other sounds.

Like Ash78, I would hear women say this as a reason to not do resistance training back in the 90s:

Friend: I don’t want to bulk up!
Me: Uh, don’t worry about.

That was my issue; there are several I want live all the time, and others can be buried under a menu.

Is part of it just that in general, younger people seem far more interested in living alone? I can barely get friends who could greatly financial benefit from having a roommate to even CONSIDER it, much less consider moving to a group situation. Thoughts?
