Glad you made it out of the bad place!!

I was in a really bad place when the secret got big so I gave it a try because it had that patina of pseudo science to if: luckily I snapped out of it. I’m really glad I didn’t meet a scientologist that year or I’d probably be in the sea org right now.

In my day, it was Dr. Laura.

Yes because if you don’t look at fat people you won’t get fat. The Secret what a fucking joke. I bet those are the same fucks who voted for #45.

I dropped my therapist after he recommended a book from the author of “The Secret”

I don’t know if I’m just dense/not cool enough to “get it”, but can someone explain to me why this meme/girl is funny? Like I know at thirty I’m not that old, but some of these viral phenomena (like this, Damn Daniel, etc)....I just don’t understand? Am I missing something?

Dr. Oz gives him a run for his money, though. Not to mention Eckart Tolle or the lady who wrote The Secret, who had less staying power but were somehow even dumber. There are a lot of things to admire about Oprah, but her love of facile pseudo science is not one of them

Pssh, I LIVED in Ferguson at the time and it was downright hilarious to watch everyone conflate us with the city. Nope.

It reminds me of when Ferguson was in the news, and the media was treating it like it was some kind of small town near St. Louis. Uh...no. It’s a suburb in St. Louis County.

Yeah...unfortunately, that’s not a huge surprise in Jeff Co. But I would say Jeff Co. is in no way representative of the St. Louis are.

Obviously the takeaway is that wearing confederate flag shit is disgusting and any fools who try to say liberals are the only ones focusing on race/it’s not really a problem are denying what is obviously a huge issue in St Louis, and in this country in general. But yes, I also want to be precise about where it is…

Really? This is what you want to focus on? Whether or not Jefferson County is in the St Louis region?

It doesn’t make it any less racist, true, but you’re painting a broad brush by saying it was in StL burbs. There is definitely still racism there (institutionalized, and it is still pretty segregated), but no way would kids in those school systems (Webster, Clayton, Kirkwood, U-City) show up in confederate…

If it’s in JeffCo it’s not part of St. Louis or even St. Louis County. It definitely does not surprise me. At the same time, I’d say meth is a bigger problem than racism in JeffCo.

I don’t want to call attention to it but it’s in JeffCo. No surprise I’m sure.

“I live in one of the city’s safer neighborhoods, and I don’t walk my dog at night without constantly looking over my shoulder,”

I made Marcella Hazan’s tomato sauce once because I’d heard so much about it and I really don’t get what the fuss is. I ended up with bland greasy sauce that did not improve with age. Yes, I used the right tomatoes. It was one of the rare cases where I followed a recipe to the letter and that made me think never again.

“can feel it. That’s what I do in life, it’s called — like, I understand.”

We all know that asshole who walks around quoting The Art of War all the time because they think it makes them sound like a cool business person. We all hate that asshole.
