Welcome to the fold. Someone at my Kroger keeps buying all of the Mandarin flavor and I’m on the HUNT. It’s good.

THANK YOU. It tastes FLAT. Kroger-brand La Croix is fizztastic, with a large variety of flavors. My fave is cranberry lime.

No. I’m from the Midwest and he grew up in Asia. But what you said totally makes sense too. 😉

Same. I’ve clicked with a few of the talk therapists I’ve been to in the past, but even identifying my “issues” wasn’t really doing anything to solve them. CBT was, and is, the only therapy I’ve been to where I’ve been given the tools to actually do something about them.

As someone who moved around as a kid too, I’d say that sounds about right. Definitely for KY, which waas where I was in high school.

I was in NJ, and our books said utterly nothing about the internment camps.... I only learned about them at all in my senior year, because my teacher was a Californian who was married to a Japanese-American man, and she took it upon herself to teach us this chapter of the war, outside the books.

i took AP american history ca. 1985. i remember spending an inordinate amount of time on the minutiae of the revolutionary war (and still missing the main point of the war, which was really mostly about protecting the interests of the landed/slave-holding elites against challenges from both below and across the…

So to summarize, ICE is actually ruining the promising futures of young men who came to this country as children, worked hard, and thrived. Meanwhile, the DOJ is busy investigating the tragic plight of the white kids ‘discriminated’ against in college admissions. And over at the Dept of Ed, DeVos is clutching her…

That is so horrifying. I simply cannot imagine being forced to act the physical manifestation of Absence.

In all of Hollywood and her being a “star”, she’s settling down with a camera assistant, that’s strong evidence she’s one of the rare decents among the lead-actor ranks. I’m not surprised she’s gracious in person. She seems like a gem!

Yaaaaaas!!!! So glad to hear this. I love her, and 10 Things was one of my favourite movies in high school. Her table dancing to Hypnotize was formative for a number of reasons...

Didn’t even think about a “lazy millennial” comment. This is a legit reason to be late to work. (33 year old, here). I’m all about your priorities.

I’ve gone to work late because it was on HBO at like five in the morning.

“I am a news junkie and I do not read that crap. No news junkies I know, and I know a lot, read that crap. I find your statement hard to believe.”

The twenty-four year old woman known for breaking into Drake’s bedroom to drink a Sprite, aka “Thirsty Girl,” is at it again!

That’s a great way to view something like this. I also had to dial down the news—I was upset all the time. I decided that I would stick to NPR. It is still totally serious, but they are generally so calm and measured.

I like it, flaws and all. It’s an easy read first thing in the morning to stay aware of what the current topics of the moment are. It’s certainly not my only news source. I get why others wouldn’t be in to it, but I’m having trouble not rolling my eyes at some of the other comments here spoken from their high horse. I…

I’ll start. I don’t see the issue. This is the fluff-tone that women’s magazines have been selling for decades (that Cosmopolitan would call them on it might be particularly risible). There are people (not of any particular gender) who want their news in a digestible sound bite in order to: feel somewhat informed; and…

I saw the same comment! I told my husband the lady might have gotten to the party eight months late, but I’m happy to have her here.

I am fine with him taking the lion’s share of the credit (and the heat...). His grandstanding about this was the perfect fuck you to McConnell and that dickless asshole in the whitehouse.
