I grew up on a mountain in Alaska. The house was on some sort of hill carved out by glaciers, and that type of hill is supposedly a crossroads for spirits (can’t make this stuff up...), and at the time, was completely isolated from the neighbors. The house is surrounded by trees, and at night, you can barely see…

Earlier this year, I got a tattoo of a honeybee on my collar bone. Because in a beehive, the females lead. The females do the work. And they’re willing to die for the things they believe in.

Just to be clear, it’s very important and fortunate that rotten meat stinks, and that it does isn’t something to take for granted.

I get why people want to squelch shitty speech, but this article is spot on: speech is the least impactful signal we have in life. When people say shitty things, we learn with relatively few consequences what type of person they are.

This is very apt. It’s one of the reasons I always try to differentiate between cash-poor and structurally poor. Two very different things.

Shy of the sun and meth, is there anything out there that can rabidly age you like children?

There are a lot of people out there that think any attention given to a woman, positive or negative, should flatter them. Obviously those people have never been stalked or harrassed.

I broke up with a friend who, as I was crying from being exhausted by the sexual harassment I was receiving in a muslim country on vacation, told me “you should be happy you’re getting attention, no one is even paying attention to me”. Fuck her and her fucking face.

Paul Ryan’s entire life is an example of “for me, but not thee.”

And let’s not forget all of the folks who just ‘believe and say’ they’ve been poor, when it was really all about having to endure a small house until the big one on the corner became possible.

I wish more poor people would punch rich people in the face. Honestly why are you not banding together and forcing change? the reason you are poor is because you are being exploited with substandard wages. Yes EXPLOITED. Any company that pays minimum wage is a company ran by scumbags.

If there’s anyone out there that actually thinks being poor is simple, then they deserve a right punch in the face.

Ew fucking disgusting I’m going to punch you eewwwwww. What about women who refer to themselves in the third person as “mommy”

Let’s add yummy mummy and Glamma (instead of grandma) while we’re at it.

I guess I don’t agree with, but understand why big cities profile; number of cops vs residents and all that. I find I have less tolerance in VT; there’s no friggin’ people to overwhelm the cops since it’s the least populated state in the union. No science behind how I feel, but that’s what I feel...

I loathe the Aiden-rhyming names. You're right to be annoyed by them, they're always little shits with blonde bowl haircuts.

We call that “Kevinismus” in Germany. English sounding names are/were pretty popular in the lower classes so they have earned a bad reputation here (also because those parents often couldn’t pronounce or spell these names properly). But in other countries they are completely normal names. You could take a list with…

I have to admit, I’d be thrilled to read excerpts of his “reasons” that he broke off relationships or that relationships failed to develop. They would be 100% wrong. A late-30s woman banging the coffeeshop dude in her basement is assuredly not looking to make him her boyfriend.
