Oh man, I’ve seen so many seminars on writing business plans, making good proposals, etc, when all along the secret ingredient was just lying.

I like that this shows how little due diligence the banks use. However, each scam makes them a little more careful, so by the time I come up with a good one, it probably won’t work.

Someone’s Grandma gets their life savings stolen: Too bad! Personal responsibility!

Let me guess - next year, an addendum to the effect that ‘a smile wouldn’t hurt once in a while’.

“Yep, the caucus that lost their minds over the suggestion that they should wear masks during a pandemic to respect the safety of others is now spending its time focusing on the fine details of what women have to wear...”

Agreed. Imagine if we brought up everyone’s worst takes over the course of their lifetime when they died.  It’s gross.

Jeff Beck dies and you bring up Johnny Depp? What the fuck is wrong with you? Get help. You're obsessed.

This was my main takeaway from the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Politeness can be dangerous.

This makes me so sick on so many levels. But especially all the “why didn’t she go to the police!?!?!” hand-wringers when stories like this come out. Also, make sure people dismiss rape apologist trolls!

I hope someone sets this son of a bitch on fire.

I mean, it’s a reason phrases like ‘fuck politeness’ became such popular mottos among My Favorite Murder listeners after a seemingly endless string of stories from female listeners of exactly the same sort of thing of women avoiding danger or realizing just how narrowly they’d avoided it from creeps like this. It’s…

I’m someone who can usually get a very accurate sense of a person after just meeting them so I’m a huge proponent of listening to your Gut, especially if you are someone who is scared of being too judgemental but there’s a reason it exists in the first place.

Hahaha!

Well, we COULD. We COULD. We used to have tabloids for celebrity news and newspapers for mostly “real” news, and the divide worked pretty well. The problem would be convincing a generation that would honestly rather consider Rihanna’s baby bump “real news” than look at the midterms. But the line is there to find, and…

Yeah, a lot of insulated Americans, especially wealthy white Americans grasp at any ‘culture’ they can find due to idealistic interest since they don’t really interact with the world outside their gated communities. Let’s be real, “American” culture is rife with A LOT of ethical oversights, and most of what we…

I know I’m probably grayed out here and you have no reason to actually believe me, but I vaguely knew her growing up in Orange County.

My BFF and I call it “phantom anal dagger”... I can’t believe there’s a tiktok topic on the subject, amazing.

I listened to her on an Armchair Expert episode and my takeaway is that she’s not very smart (certainly not in the ways that the internet appreciates). There are a lot of things she’s talented/good at, but it seems like critical thinking isn’t one of them. At least her ignorance isn’t malicious. 🤷🏼‍♀️

That part at the end is what always gets me. White people, or westerners in general, seem to want to be a part of whatever collective they admire or fetishize, but don’t want to carry the water when it really matters. Claiming something is one thing, and living it is something on a completely different level. I guess…
