I really wish there could be some article on the way things are done here in general. Sometimes, I have pots that are sometimes posted without any commentary or reccs, some are recc only after certain people (I'm just guessing) have recc it, and sometimes I have a thread going, and some of my posts (but not others),…

Ok here are two problems with the argument that Leviticus doesn't apply post-Jesus so Christians who call out homosexuality as a sin while doing a lot of things that are against Old Testament rules aren't hypocrites:

I know a couple. They were fundamentalist Christians and got married right of out of high school. In both cases, they divorced; one is a fairly upmarket weed dealer in the city I grew up in and has an okay band. Not sure about the other one, but I'm sure pleated khakis are involved somehow.

Can you imagine the frustration of sacrificing four years of your life in pursuit of your dream to be the best in the world, only to have all that sacrifice and progress rendered moot by an uncooperative, Russian winter?

Yeah, this whole idea that women should withhold sex so that men are forced into marrying them if they want to get laid (because why else would a man ever want to commit to a relationship, amirite?) is fucked up and pretty insulting to both men and women. It sounds like one of those shitty PUA tactics where they're…

THANK YOU.

I call shenanigans because in this day and age NO ONE properly RSVPs for a kids party. Homophobic rant or no.

How was this not included?

Wait, why are we calling him sleazy for this? Isn't he saying he thinks we should pay all workers fair wages, regardless of what country they're in? Am I mis-reading what he's saying here?
Serious question, this isn't sarcasm. What am I missing?

I am absolutely with you on this. She strikes me as a Mean Girl, pompous and entitled, who thinks she's smarter than George Clooney. I have NO idea where that last phrase came from but, in the event anyone cares to analyze me, I'll leave it in.

Okay, just got off the phone with the officer... really nice guy, asked a lot of questions about how I tracked her down, etc. He said he's off to search for her right now... really hope she's okay :(

Okay. Thank you for saying something, I wasn't sure what to do. I'll call right now.

Lori Gottlieb is America's undermining, passive-aggressive aunt, turning up at holidays and family baby showers to whisper about how our second cousin is separated because she put on so much weight after the twins, and her husband boned the nanny, and the high school valedictorian is having her eggs frozen because…

Mine too! This woman at work has a cat named Bob and I find that hilarious.

Honestly, are you sure he wants to BE in grad school? I ask this because I sabotaged myself into getting essentially kicked out of school because I hated it and didn't want to write a dissertation/stay in academia, yet I was too much of a coward to drop out on my own. Obviously not a good coping mechanism, but I am…

OMG Jezzies, the week I have had. Monday we adopted a dog (photo below), and the first night the poor thing panicked and slipped her collar. I finally got her back Thursday morning, after days and days of posting flyers, Facebook and Twitter blasts (that seriously EVERYBODY in town shared, which was amazing), and…

HEY YOU HAVE A PERSON THREATENING SUICIDE . MsFMercury. IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE PLEASE CONTACT THEIR LOCAL POLICE.

My life has been spiraling down into deep depression for a while now, but things really got bad a couple of weeks ago. I've missed a shit ton of work, but I've started therapy again and have a new antidepressant that's starting to work (it's some new drug that is really fast acting). I'm starting to feel optimistic…

Have you checked to see what kind of career resources/career center your university has? The range of services (and quality) varies from school to school, but you may find a wealth of information, helpful tools & tricks, as well as some dedicated professionals ready to assist you. Full disclosure: I worked in my…

This is the national suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Please call them. Is there anyone in your social circle you can call? Anyone you can reach out to tonight? You don't need to feel hopeless.
