A college degree is a thing of value. A college degree opens doors to jobs that make more money. It cannot be repossessed, like a car or house, but it has value. So “earning money off borrowed money” would seem to apply here as well. There is no reality where, on average college educated don’t make a LOT more money…

Boy, I can’t wait until 2024 when I’m forced to choose between a president that doesn’t give a shit about anybody under age 60, or a president that doesn’t give a shit about anybody under age 60 AND wants to turn the country into a theo-fascist state. Hard choices!

The premise that freshly traumatized 18 year old Ms Sebold manipulated by the racist police and racist justice system is valid. But for decades, she knew she was not sure. Yet, she let that discomfort go unexamined. She ignored the disturbance in her survivor narrative through her book deal and was prepared to see…

I was the victim of an attempted sexual assault (I was able to fight him off) and “remembered” completely the wrong thing (I think I thought that he had a du rag and he didn’t—or the other way around). I was shocked when I saw the security footage (and thank God there was security footage). Eyewitness memories are…

The old folks might want to fight over him, but clearly the kids grew up in a world where Chappelle’s Show already had its impact on the world, and now they just see him as an old man who yells about the people they want to feel included and safe.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think Chris Pratt meant to intentionally imply that his daughter is somehow better than his son because of her relative health status. But the fact that he didn’t think at all about how that might impact his son or his son’s mom? And his kids apparently come after a baseball card? Again,…

Oh god.  And in 7th grade, when everything is mortifying.  You couldn’t win.  I’m so sorry she did that to you, 7th grade Seabassy.

I went through a major growth spurt and shot up to 5’10” by 7th grade. My family was working poor, so couldn’t afford to keep me in clothes that fit while I grew an inch a month that year, and things like Goodwill didn’t exist near my rural town. The nearest WalMart was almost an hour away.

So he likes Modest Mouse? That could be a reason to dump him....

People: he occasionally says the word ‘modest’ around my phone in hopes the phone overlords hear him. He isn’t actually using my phone or doing anything other than once and a while poke fun at the social media algorithm when it’s already part of a conversation. The algorithm is easily enough set back by me liking a…

Condolences to Her Majesty. No matter what you think of the monarchy, it’s shattering to lose your spouse.

There are totally people swapping gallons of cows milk for cartons of plant milk, and they are exactly the kind of people to fall for the marketing gimmick around it’s healthiness and then ricochet into BS science in the tweet about the sugar content.

Why should there be two Virginias, two Dakotas, and two Carolinas?

DC has a bigger population than many states. I don’t know what reason you have to say they should just be consumed by another state, unless a blue region getting control of two new senators happens to be politically inconvenient for you...

Yes, yard sign guy is a dipshit.  But, let’s not lose sight of Mr. no airport, car dealership and landfill guy.  Are you fucking serious??  First of all, DC does have many car  dealerships.  Secondly, isn’t there like 3-4 airports within like 30 minutes or less from DC?  JFC, just say the quiet part out loud and get…

It’s the impunity of white supremacy. White supremacy is, basically by definition, irrational, and always has been. It doesn’t matter. White supremacy is key to Republicans maintaining power, and denying D.C. statehood is an aspect of both. Since Republicans are already powerful and fully able to use that power to…

I for one can’t imagine why the GOP would want to stop the residents of Chocolate City from having actual governmental representation.

Now it makes sense. In a “these people are insane” sort of way.

Yeah, my 3 year old also takes responsibility (and apologizes) when he fucks shit up or hits his sister. But we don’t give him a fucking medal for it.

The only legal trouble that paying your taxes helps you avoid is the trouble you can get in for not paying your taxes.
