Thank you!

Thank you for not redacting the names.

WAIT. GOOP IS ACTUALLY A THING? I thought it was just a funny name we called her...

And even that is of the people they find, which is probably not everyone.

It's not really a stupid question. It was incredibly dangerous and the boy is very lucky to survive. I posted elsewhere, but 74% of those that sneak into the wheel well die.
ETA: It's actually 76% who die.

I have a coworker who is an Atheist Jew. He even keeps Kosher. He said it's quite common, and for a lot of people it's more about ethnic traditions than a beliefe in God.

The way I think about it is this:

You don't need to let go of a belief in the afterlife to reject the things organized religion teaches that don't make sense to you. Follow your gut. We're not all right about everything, and we're not all wrong either. That's where I'm at as well. The more I connect with my own spirituality, the more the written…

I'm a secular Jewish agnostic/athiest (more on that designation in a second). When I was in college I'd sometimes find myself envying people who believed in a deity, or deities, because that seemed like an explanation of last resort for when really fucked-up things happened. I've never had that. I have to accept that…

This is sort of my feeling as well. I used to be a Christian, then transitioned to believing you didn't really need to know Jesus/God by name to be "saved." That made sense to me for a while, but then I felt like if that was the case, then what is the point of all the virgin birth/Adam and Eve/Noah's ark stuff?…

This is why I watch Long Island Medium.

I'd love to believe in a god, because it would make things a lot better and happier, but the doubt arose...

They're doing something even better:

Like we're secret agents!!! But really really boring!

Great. First, I get exposed in the Target breach (confirmed by my bank) and next is Michaels. In addition, an old employer, one of the top movie theater chains in America (Carmike Cinemas), sent me a letter letting me know their warehouses were broken into where employees' W2s were taken.

He's starting to look like Wayne Newton.

I'm not sure which is worse, the premise or the fact that "wanna" is actually a word now.

Right? It's so specific. "I'm sometimes an arrogant asshole, but it's because my dad was a veteran who was cold and distant and I never learned how to empathize or communicate my feelings." Okay, cool, talk to your therapist about it. Don't pretend that your experience represents the experience of all men everywhere.

And of course, you too shall have your own lawyer/doctor and a free baby under my new regime. Congratulations! ;)

I once read a report by The Heritage Foundation (hear me out) that suggested that the main reason poverty still exists is because people don't work full-time and mothers won't get married. I just went back and found it because I am JUST THAT DEDICATED. (It's "Understanding Poverty in America," Rector & Johnson, 2004.)…
