the way things were u guys

HAHAHAHAHA.
normally i would dismiss this shite.
but honestly ty for proving my point and amusing me.

anyone else want to play?
i hesitate to ungrey trash like this in other people’s threads because it’s not very polite to inflict nonsense on people who want to have a serious discussion, but this is my thread! i can…

NOT ALL PANDAS LIKE POPCORN

Just yesterday, I was at the corner store buying my standard migraine hangover cure: giant ass Coke Zero and some salt-and-vinegar potato chips. I had messed up hair, sunglasses deployed, ratty-ass clothes, and Kid Electron in tow, because it’s just not a migraine hangover without a three-year-old asking for Skittles…

Jesus, that’s heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss.

Maybe you should refrain from commenting on an article until you, you know, actually read the thing you’re so eager to say something about

Skin cancer survivor here. “Tanning at the river before prom” became “second degree sunburn from hell” and then “melanoma at 20”. It is now 15 years later and I still have to be checked every six months. I have had five other precancerous spots removed from my back, and my once lovely skin now has giant Frankentracks…

THANK YOU for this. Base tans are bullshit. Don’t believe the lies, kids.

The boys are both ultra-pale with no base tan to provide any protection.

Although it sounds like the result of some freaked-out parent being annoying, these sunburns are legitimately terrible.

As weird as it sounds, my depression got loads better after I Officially Gave Up & stopped trying (on the outside) and everyone else gave up on me. They were mad at me for not living up to my Golden Child standards after high school and spent a good year letting me know all the ways I wasn’t living up to their…

Trying to figure out how much I can say on this without doxing myself...
Let’s just say I’m an Ivy Leaguer, and I have personal experience with this stuff.

I hear pieces like this say, over and over again, that successful college kids “don’t know how to fail”. The colleges say it, articles say it, bystanders say it.

Hones…

oh hey story of my life.

I went to my university’s health services and was referred to a psychiatrist (within health services, I originally went for a cold) after filling out a form/survey thing, and before I had a chance to get comfortable with her when if only said that sometimes I feel a little depressed, she told me that she would…

I feel compelled to share this bit of wisdom by David Foster Wallace everywhere I read anything about suicide in the hopes that it can help people - even one person - understand. (Kinja screwed up the formatting and won’t let me change it, but I feel like it’s kind of appropriate for the message.)

its about as rational as saying “she had everything going for, why did she get cancer” but really we do need to ask this question because people dont understand. Its not (always) whats on the outside that counts, looks, money, whatever. If you have a disease causing your brain to operate a certain unhealthy way then…

I would caution that anyone who wants to jump on the legalized prostitution wagon after hearing this to research the impact on legalizing prostitution on human trafficking. You may think something legal is easier to regulate, but it really seems to provide a market where the storefront can be legal and what flows…

Was it a fire, or was it heat mobility?

The entire ‘passive-aggressively attack a potential rival without ever facing them’ thing could accurately be described as ‘baby lotion soft’.

Yeah obviously your situation deserves a warm office! I think most normal non-assholes wouldn't begrudge you that.
