The truth is — he falls in love with a beautiful brilliant (probably young) scientist, she can’t figure out how to both save her career and decline a Nobel winner, she cries when she realizes that she’s valued much more for her appearance than her work.

Exactly. A bullied child needs their home to be a safe space where they are loved and supported, otherwise they feel like they have nothing and no one.

Not knowing about cars or how they work isn’t a problem. If you really wanted to know, and approached the topic nicely, I’m betting that the large majority of mechanics or friends or other knowledgeable people would be happy to teach you. (Just like any other hobby, we’re happy to share our knowledge if it means you…

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

Just wanted to say that you should not flush cat litter down the toilet, at least not on the West Coast — sea lions are dying here in California due to cat parasites in the water.

Disagree! This is the world's greatest natural (and flushable) litter! http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracl…

This is why you are alone.

It is not "hyperactive political correctness", it is the tiny remaining portion of a people decimated by genocide asking for a shred of compassion in an attempt to maintain some dignity. And where exactly will it "take us" that's so bad? A place where businesses worth billions of dollars don't offend a whole race of…

Girl, I have a MS in Eled with 30 graduate credits post masters and I'm substitute teaching. I get what your'e saying. Honestly, yeah, it sucks, but most of the shit we buy is produced in awful conditions. You're looking to save a buck. I don't blame you, nor do I think you're a terrible person for doing so. If you…

Don't feel shitty!!! I'm a year older than you, and I'm pretty sure these holier than thou types are way older. They just don't get what it's like for our generation. My parents too can't seem to grasp that this is a whole new era of insecurity, anxiety and stress and graduating isn't the golden ticket to a job for…

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, you are getting all sorts of shit for your post. It's really easy for people to be sanctimonious and rude because of their anonymity on the internet. So you're unemployed with a Comm degree...I know unemployed Business and Biology majors. The job market isn't exactly poppin' for recent grads. I'll…

If your going to troll, at least do it with a bit of panache. Weak effort.

Yeah, I'm just on edge tonight. Had a very bad week. The world is a shitty place. But we can all help in small ways. Your right.

I don't want pity. I've got bigger things to worry about. I won't be shamed because I can't afford to buy god damn fairtrade socks.

Is it gross that I just throw my wipes out in the bathroom trash? It probably is. I wrap them in a piece of TP just like I would a used pad. I was trained from a young age not to flush anything but TP down the toilet. We had a horrifying incident in my childhood involving sewage caused by a blocked pipe.

Anyone who tells you those things are flushable is lying.

Ummm, I do. Because I live in freaking rural KS and there aren't a whole lot of radio stations around. It completely sucks living here. I dream of moving to a state where women, education and civil rights for all people are celebrated, but, as I am married to a farmer who will never move I'm stuck.

Today, we'll be preparing... YOUR KIDZZZ AHAHAHAHAHA!
