Look, why can’t you just be happy for Fancy Kristen?

“You’ve got mail” was AOL. The guy who did the voice is now an Uber driver.

Reducing a complex issue into a tweet-sized sentence removes nuance
 critical to understanding the issue, also at 11. Back to you.

I stopped asking the “where did you go to college” question a long time ago, because it’s like asking “What do you do for a living?” I only ask if it’s someone fairly young I meet and they describe a particularly funny and/or bizarre personal story. One person once told me they had a work-study job that involved…

I’m an American living outside the US, and I can consistently get a “HOW much?!” by mentioning fairly standard student debt amounts and healthcare costs. Like, they are flabberghasted.

This shocks and horrifies many of us. If I lived in the US, odds are I wouldn’t have gotten the level of tertiary education I have. Not through lack of ability, because I know which US schools I had the marks for, but simply because I would have been priced out. My family is in the middle ground of earning too much…

Even when they have good relations, how many people at this point are so in the clear they can drop 50k a year on a kid’s tuition? even 20k?

Seems like this would be less of an issue if students weren’t required to list their parents' incomes on their FAFSA until they were 24 while not able to compel their parents to pay for college. It's a shit rule, and if parents have no intention of paying for their kid's school (and have such a toxic relationship that…

I think Australia also forces similar, all buisnesses must roll tax into advertised pricing. Literally, in its conception, the people who made the sales tax expected buisnesses to pay it, and not consumers.

I do not know if it still is, but back in the late 1990s/early 00s; it sure was. It was the ultimate in Libertarian state ideals. Money and “will” (read:violence) ruled, and if you were poor then you were screwed. Hopefully it has recovered somewhat, and hopefully, one day, we will too.

She ought to have logged in to her BNet account, then, shouldn’t she?

I really don’t have any memories of Bethesda that don’t involve buggy trash fires of games that only get good by the grace of the modding community.

Which is worse, a head cold or a chest cold?

This is cheating.  This is like if the debate was “what’s worse: seasonal allergies or a summer cold,” and your answer was “shitting yourself to death from dysentery.” 

Bed bugs is the correct choice. 

Mice will shit in your cereal and on your dishes. This could get you sick.

But if you don’t have family wealth and don’t have a four-year degree—and that’s 70 percent of Americans—well, the future is far less glowing. These Americans haven’t seen a real wage increase in 30 years.

Even if this graph weren’t transphobic it would still need to be burned with fire for the heinous crime of having 5 be the midpoint of the X-axis and 6 be the midpoint of the Y-axis.

I thought no one takes the trains either, but if no one took trains, then why the fudge are these amtrak seats so hard to get that someone here had to write an article about how to get one?

Pretty sure bearing false witness (aka lying to patients) is not something Jesus would be pleased with, so...
