All of you parents catering to your child’s every whim are setting yourself up for a disaster when they become teenagers, and beyond that, expect them to have a hard life, constantly needing to be propped up by you.

For me, Costco is for both non-perishable items and frozen items, though I also buy prime cuts of meat in bulk and vacuum seal and freeze them. Since I cook them sous-vide, I end up cooking them in the same bag they were stored in as well.

Yet another shiny bauble on food labels to attract the dim-witted new-age-y food consumer. :-/

This is what happens when they choose who to endorse based upon identity.

And the attempted buying of votes continues.

Yes, I think the “average monthly fee” gets skewed heavily by the people who have no ability to avoid overdrafts.

I do free basic personal finance “classes” (usually one on one or with a couple), and it amazes me how few people take a good look at the spend side of the equation when they realize that they have too much debt. I know that sounds pretty basic, but once you understand THAT side, debt is easier to pay off (as you have…

The best investment I made was an electric blanket with separate controls for each side. We make a joke out of who has theirs set to what. Cost was $50, have had it for 5 years, and have saved FAR more than that on not turning on heat for the whole house to heat one room for 8 hours a day.

Interesting how “that sex is immutable and that “men cannot become women” is seen as a “shitty thing” to say by you.

I’m an atheist but even so, I hope I never accidentally say “God bless you” to you should you sneeze.  FFS, you’re an asshole.

Super interesting, but I guess I see it as far more simple than that:

Of course, being California, they likely would have been sued for NOT keeping the grass mowed as well, so there’s that. :)

I’m bummed out that this looks suspiciously like one of my favorite hiking areas.

This is SO true; it seems almost NO parents teach any basic personal finance (likely because most are financial disasters themselves) and it is not taught in school to any degree.  I actually do free personal finance sit-downs with friends and acquaintances for this reason, and I will have to take a look at this app…

Don’t you need your own evidence to call them “utter bullshit”?

As someone with anxiety and panic disorder, I consider it my responsibility to learn how to operate within the world as it is; sometimes I do well, sometimes not so well, and I need to keep working on my “toolbox” that I use to get through situations that might cause me difficulty.

As the snake eats its tail....

I think the quotes in the title were in the wrong place; corrected.

I wonder what the Jezzie positions would be had it been a man having sexual relationships with his subordinates. I mean if the power imbalance is the issue, should be the same opinion for both, no?
