If you’re perplexed by double standards from feminists in Twitter, it’s because there ARE no standards. It’s “people I agree with politically are right in everything they do, and those with whom I disagree are always wrong”.

This is such great information; I plan on sharing it with some friends who are in the same situation. Too many people think they just can’t do this, but it is indeed a learned skill. Granted if someone is drained by social interaction as many introverts are, this won’t make them LOVE it, but it COULD make it less…

“How to Win Friends and Influence People” still rings true today; most people love to talk about themselves and so if you ask them questions (in specific “safe” areas as outlined in the book), you can easily land on topics that you can either find commonality with your own experiences, or it can lead to other question…

I know for me what is less important than actual spending on groceries is RELATIVE spending on four other categories I have in Mint.com:

Exactly! My point was going to be between road bikes and mountain bikes; granted higher pressures on road bikes but MUCH less volume.  Hand pumping your 29x3 with a mini-pump is quite the workout :)

So what practical EFFECT do you think this will have, or is it just virtue signaling? I assume anyone who can afford a fur can certainly afford to get one in Vegas, Aspen, NYC, or lots of other places where they can obviously afford to travel.

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

WELCOME TO JEZEBEL.

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

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

While discrimination is crap, I fail to see how forcing the issue helps the situation.  Would anyone feel good about making a Muslim-owned copy shop make copies of cartoons that were blasphemous to Mohammed?  I assume not?

Shorter answer:

Grow up,stupid baby.

If you have anxiety driven by climate change, you truly are privileged and have very few other problems it seems. 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. I have a combo of thunderstorm (you can turn down the lightning volume individually) and the sound of a train going down the track overlaid over brown noise that I like best for some reason. …

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.
