That sounds like a lot of thoughts and prayers but I don’t want to rain on your parade, so you do you. Good luck. 

I appreciate your optimism, but civilians have so little control over the laws in this country. I don’t see any way we can force our voices to be heard. But we can hunker down and offer to help one another as best we can.

Oh, I’ve always liked him! What’s his new series?

Ugh, Aaron is a goddamn delicious meal. Plus, he’d go with you to eat food spicy enough to burn your face off, so win/win!

The problem is that real jobs aren’t created equal. Some of my friends are pulling in mid six figures and some are lucky to hit mid five. It’s easy for the wealthier friends to write off an $X dinner, but that’s a treat night for other friends. Plus, a lot of my friends probably couldn’t cover the bill for everyone if…

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for having misread that.

For you, what does a romantic relationship offer that’s better than friendship aside from sex? My friends absolutely make me feel human, loved, and like I belong and for a lot of people having friends is important regardless of whether or not we have a partner. Research has shown consistently that many of the benefits…

“The people who offer “self-improvement” nonsense are especially contemptuous of incels, because they want incels to chase after moving goal posts, with no clear path to success.”

Mary Roach’s stuff is so good!

That sounds interesting!

I haven’t read any of these yet, but they all have pretty strong reviews and seem to fit the criteria:

Seconding Thinking Fast and Slow. It’s been on my TBR for ages.

Or they could up the anty and do a simultaneous chill off/Hot Ones episode. Sanchez would win for sure.

I love everything about this comment.

Trump’s comments on mental health are so ignorant. Completely ignoring how that’s not necessarily the cause of the root issue, and that certainly access to weapons plays a huge part in this, he has no idea how the mental health system functions.

I wish the co-signer bit were retroactive. I have enough life insurance to cover the balance of my student loans, but I hate the thought of my family being hounded while they’re grieving. That’s such a gross and disgusting practice.

That’s great of advice, but there are plenty of students going into college without the resources for career planning. We really need to do a better job in all middle and high schools when it comes to helping students consider their career options.

Renewal time can vary by area. I’ve lived in places where I could renew my lease as late as 28 days before its expiration and other places where I’ve had to renew less than six months in to my lease. It all depended on the housing market in the area. (And yes, having to look for housing a year ahead of when you need…

With regard to disclosing other housing, might part of that be to cut down on Air B&B rentals? This case seems like a pretty clear-cut case of racism, but I wonder if there’s a legit reason for asking about additional housing in other situations.

It is a slippery slope but in the long run, I’m okay with people facing consequences for their behavior. Not sexually assaulting or otherwise excessively harming people seems like a fair thing to ask in exchange for the advertising and other things that bring these people millions of dollars. If entertainers want to…
