Yuuuuup. Folks seem to think that having money turns a switch in your brain that makes you impervious to hurt, shame, depression, etc.

Yup-that’s what i was going to say. Bathrooms are usually lined up like that and are geographically close to kitchens (typically) because it’s easier and more importantly, cheaper, to squash all the plumbing together.

It’s tape. It is really obviously tape. It looks like the edge of packing tape when you cut it off the little reel because the teeth are serrated.

This photo is so surreal. It looks like tableau of wax figures at Madam Toussaud’s. The background looks like it’s been photoshopped in. 

here we have a couple who quite clearly like having masses of their private lives in the public domain along with the press reporting on that when it paints them nicely but outraged when they focus on the bits that don’t.

Personally I find it difficult to agree that wanting to control the public’s access to yourself and your private life is a mockable offense.

Eh, I think there’s a major gulf between media attention and media attacks/stalking/bullying. They aren’t asking the press “to do only what they want at all times”, they’re asking the press to be decent people and maybe not publish large portions of private letters in gossip rags or just make up nasty shit out of…

This video is adorable, period. I won’t hear a word against it. 

Those dogs sell for bonkers money so I suspect it’s just “stealing dogs for profit” but the person who did that is either desperate or insane because they really did not need to shoot the guy four times to get those dogs away from him.

Literally what I was thinking. Isn’t that what all those aides are for? No one has time to read everything so they have a bunch of people around them to read and summarize.

I don’t live in a dreamland populated with folks who coddle me so yes, my *feelings* and I have been belittled before and probably will again. I don’t see how anything I said above was belittling.

The point is that there’s an appropriate time to talk about how much pregnancy suck and it’s not when you make the announcement-the literal first line of this story:

Nah, I was just saying, “Stay on topic” but you do you. 

In the example I used, the pregnant person announced it. I didn’t just “steam up to” her ready to caress her body. This actually did happen at work and her response was another bland platitude...I don’t even remember exactly what she said it was so unremarkable.

I mean...sure. But the person who says “Are you excited?” is likely someone who doesn’t know you well and who it likely wouldn’t be appropriate to talk about your hemorrhoids with.

I think that person is saying to continue to make monthly payments of some kind which is a direct contradiction of your title “Why You Shouldn’t Make Monthly Loan Payments On Your Paused Student Loan (Even If You Can”.

At a certain point you have to remember they’re stock phrases and that not every 30 second exchange with someone you only know by sight in the hallway is going to be an amazing, supportive discussion of your inner life.

I feel like at this point, they are just following single, wealthy-ish women who wanna be on tv.

Good for you.
