I used to work in oilfield construction and the laborers would get paid $3,000 a week on average. A couple of times the checks were a day late and a lot of people were freaking out b/c they were literally out of money. These were dudes living for free in trailers out in a field in North Dakota, outside of a tiny town…

I was at a work lunch thing recently and a woman on our table was just quietly eating her lunch when someone commented on the fact that there was no meat on her plate. She said she was a vegetarian and tried to change the subject but HOLY SHIT people would not let it go and it turned into the this huge conversation…

Yeah. You might have already gotten a similar reply, but PETA went on record during the Michael Vick case saying the dogs were all vicious killers who should be put down. MANY of the dogs were extremely fearful and turned out to be absolute sweethearts. Thank goodness people who deeply care for animals (and who are…

There are many healthy food options beyond what you’ve listed and I can eat a LOT of food and stay under 1500 calories (not to mention netting 1500 when you factor in a workout). Sorry you’re not very educated on food options.

Or just . . . try to lose weight at a slower and more sustainable pace.

Typical abortion situation? Did you conduct a poll that the rest of us don’t know about?

My favorite part is the thin film that covers whatever kind of sauce is included. Mmmmm film.

I’m so bad at portion control that when I’m eating something really good I get SAD that I’m getting painfully full b/c it means I have to stop eating soon. So. I feel you.

I’m probably being that obnoxious person but diet /= starvation. It doesn’t necessarily even mean eating less food (by volume or weight). Just eating food that is much less calories dense.

Whatever idiot student made that page is woefully misinformed on a number of points (not to mention there’s a typo in the first fucking line). Unless you’re ready to point to the actual SCOTUS constitutional jurisprudence to prove your point, I’d call it a day.

Also: “don’t have friends who are assholes.”

Or there was a massive fucking recession several years ago and millions of Americans are living in (or nearly in) poverty?

Well then what’s with that guy outside the grocery store between my office and my house? If it weren’t lucrative why would he be out there ALL DAY EVERY DAY?

It might not be fun for you, but I’ve never had a problem with it at all. What type of social activities are you doing regularly that are restricted by your economic class?

Why is it different for guys? I’m a woman who had a lot of financial ups and downs from college through the late 20s (I’m early 30s now and financially happy). When I had the money, I’d happily cover my (real) friends, and vice versa.

Are you saying this person’s friends should buy materials to MAKE their own tents?

Right, but no one buys those anymore either.

UGH. Everyone was like, “It goes so fast,” and “Once you hit x weeks time will start to fly by.” Well I’m 26 weeks and time is still inching along at an extremely slow pace. Everyone is full of shit. Not to mention I have a weird baby who keeps kicking me in the butthole. People keep asking me they can feel a kick and…

Haha, yes, the whole “being prepared” part is scary. Congrats to you! If you’re SUPER impatient, my coworker informs me that if you walk down the street with one foot up on the curb and the other down in the street, you will induce labor (my coworker is an idiot, but a nice lady).

I think you should call Comcast and cancel your internet for a while. Go play outside with other humans.
