Shockingly small amounts of real work. An hour or less a day, some weeks. It makes you feel guilty sometimes. And the boredom creates depression because there is nothing to give you a sense of accomplishment or self worth.

My ex had this one all picked out. She said her grandma gave it to her.

This is a great trick by many master shade throwers: the feigning of earnest concern. It's a perfect tactic, because no one wants to be the asshole accusing you of being disingenuous. You can get away with a lot of shady shit by cloaking it in genuine worry for the other person. Throw in an understanding shoulder…

To quote my pal Lindy West: "NORMCORE IS JUST BRAGGING."

Less scotch will also help with not getting sleepy.

Confirmed for the 386983685656th time: good-looking people look good in anything, even in these horrors.

I do this for the shade gifs

That is so fucking badass. She is so fucking bad ass!

She is incredible. She is a complete master of dry humor and long pauses. She OWNS her audiences.

I'm a Rouge who couldn't get into the website yesterday until the late evening, and even then it was timing out and not saving my shopping cart. Resellers are terrible (there was a thread on reddit yesterday with a picture of someone with like 10 bags of gift sets at Sephora), but I can't believe they're resorting to…

In the book it was just Strayed's favorite drink of choice. When you are hiking on almost no money and ending up in po-dunk towns and outposts, your pleasures have to be pretty minimal and universal.

This is ridiculous. Logistically, how would this even be possible? I couldn't log on all day yesterday and I don't have an Asian last name. This is a company that RARELY has sales, and the server crashed with everyone and their mother trying to buy shit - esp since this is holiday season.

Yeah, there are definitely large chain restaurants that do this, but there are also a lot of sole proprietorship restaurants that may do this as well.

We agree. In the instances you cite, you need to somehow figure out if the damage you are being told about is really the extent of the damage to the car. If so, buy away. But you can't just trust the person selling it to you who says, "Oh, it was totaled because of cosmetic damage. There's no need for a silly and…

That's another problem altogether: What happens to the wrecks which don't go through normal channels and AREN'T designated Salvage? (And you just gave us one answer.)

this is literally what your insides look like.

HURK.

All of it. I was fortunate enough to have my parents save for me and make a lot of sacrifices to make sure that college was paid for. At the end of it, I walked away with no debt, no hole to dig myself out of. I will do the same for my kids (who don't exist yet, and might not ever). The head start you can give your…

Started with $100/month per child into 529 accounts. I think we'll bump that up once they get older and out of daycare. The oldest child will start kindergarten next Sept and he'll have a little more than $6k to his name for college. That is $6k more than I had when I started college in 2000. Any amount I contribute,…
