So agree

Sean Young had a tough time with her career and felt she was unfairly labeled as difficult and crazy mainly because she refused sexual advances and was vocal and direct about her roles & work.

I was harassed at a work Christmas party by the on-air talent. Blatantly, brazenly and shockingly. It was only half an hour in. One minute a group of us were discussing politics and then out of the blue he stated that I had magnificent breasts and he wanted to suckle on my nipples. After a moment of shocked silence I…

My grandfather did this financially, rather than physically. As he retired, he split possession of his business among his kids.

Thankfully, between the time when she signed that NDA and today, GoFundMe was invented. Weinstein can sue but he can only bankrupt her if we don’t support her through something like that.

Its a very old religion with no singular central authority. Its not necessarily the same religion in every country. Just look how many different version of Christianity there is. And its not even half ad old.

And after thousands of people are dead and the killing tapers off, we’ll all read long-form pieces in The New Yorker about this, Netflix will produce a documentary on it, and a movie about it will win an oscar and everyone will say “Never again...”

Use the china and crystal, and if it breaks, it breaks. When My mom died I got this beautiful china that she would pull out only twice a year. I use those suckers every day with the silver and such. My friends come over and think I am extra but honestly these beautiful things were made to be used.

I’m successfully well off. I own a home. I make enough that budgeting is easy. I also recognize that I live in a society, and that society helped me get where I am. Schools, roads, health care, law enforcement, unemployment insurance, etc. And since I belong to that society, I am comfortable paying into the system a…

Taxes being raised on income below $418K is not giving up everything you worked so hard (debatable) for.

I would suggest that, if you think you are “(moderately) rich”, you are probably not the focus of HamNo’s ire, nor the target of the tax increases progressives propose. Even if you are being modest and you are actually in the top tax bracket (>$418k), you are extraordinarily well off and are in no danger of being…

My grandmother is doing the same. She wants to know that stuff is getting used and loved by family members now, not something that will be fought over later (not that I expect any fighting, that’s just her logic).

I’ll be doing none of this. When I’m gone, anyone who feels the need is welcome to rifle through my stuff to their hearts content, but it’s a huge waste of an opportunity.

Lol. That’s better than mine who insists that I’ll regret not having one when I start having dinner parties. Ma I’m over 40. If I was going to throw dinner parties that needed chafing dishes I would have started by now.

My Grandmother has started doing this, and it’s unsettling. Both of her parents lived to be over 100, and now at 80, every trip to her house becomes a 4 hour conversation about her impending death that may well be in 2037.

I’m not a fan.

I keep begging my parents to start getting rid of things. They have almost 4,000 square feet of stuff that I do not need/want. It just sits there causing large amounts of anxiety that one day I’m going to have to go through it all since I am the only one left. My mother tells me it’s worth something, but to whom I’m…

Don’t. DON’T. Assume that because you have elected to hold onto something, that your children will assign the same value. Marie Kondo talks about it in her book. My mom, god bless her, tries to declutter her house, but inso doing ends up cluttering my house (which we manage to do quite successfully on our own).

Im a swede and I can confirm that this is quite common in Sweden.

When I first read the title, I thought it had something to do with a metal band or something. I’m picturing the album cover being a bunch of long-haired burly dudes in corpse paint wandering around a winter forest carrying mops and brooms (with lots of spikes on them), or some such.

I wish I had Photoshop skills. I…

It’s a matter of culture. The second job I had out of college, I was an executive assistant at a very small office in Mexico City. There was no one else. Still, I was able to take an hour lunch break every day. Half an hour when it was super busy. Nobody expected me not to. Everybody knows that it is entirely possible…
