I was born and raised in California and I am so happy about that. Love my state. LOVE IT. However...I will never...ever...ever be able to afford a house in Los Angeles (where I live and work) or Santa Barbara (where I’m from/where my parents live). Everyone is all like LOL move to another state then. And I’m like,…
Lena Dunham bought a bungalow in my favorite dream neighborhood in LA recently (Spaulding square) and I was always like 1.5 million isnt so bad. Maybe I’ll make it, and be able to afford one of those adorable houses one day when I’m super, super successful.
They do have a TV in Room, and Jack loves cartoons. It seemed to me that a lot of his imagination and anthropomorphism was linked to what he sees in shows like Dora. If they didn’t have a TV it would be a bit more of a stretch, but I saw his naming of the items as the natural way he would replicate the “non-real” TV…
Counterpoint: Getting a diet endorsement from the woman who has literally tried everything except tape worms* counts for quite a bit. If she feels like it’s the one that works (and that definition may vary by person), at least she’s putting her money where her mouth is. Most endorsements, the money flows the other way.
I remember an interview with Roseanne once about gaining and losing weight...someone asked her why she gained weight and she said “BECAUSE IT’S FUN!!” and she forever earned a place in my heart, regardless of her crazy conspiracy theories bring.
An employee “should” be paid whatever the service is worth to the employer. Period.
Right because your comment is totally new and doesn’t happen in every story about her. We get it, you’ve decided no one can say she is racist.
It’s actually kinda interesting. Pre-paid cards are generally not FDIC insured for 24 to 48 hours until each deposit is transferred to an FDIC holding account. If something happens before it is transferred, the FDIC will not cover it. That is perhaps the biggest technical difference between a pre-paid card and a bank…

They will reimburse individual account holders up to 250,000. The problem is that this is not a quick process and it takes a VERY long time for them to figure out account balances and deposits that have gone in since the system “went down”. For someone living paycheck to paycheck this is an absolute death sentence.…
Yes. The short answer is that the FDIC will cover their losses... eventually. Which is not especially comforting if you were really looking forward to spend your paycheck on frivolous things like rent and food.
My mom was upset this weekend because she couldn’t get a student she liked to understand that white privilege exists. He’s a smart and hardworking guy but he can’t see how certain things are a little easier for him. She’s disappointed in him. She was a little rough with him because he just can’t accept it. He’s…
I will walk a mile out of my way to get to my atom to avoid a surcharge. It's the most offensive thing to me to have to pay this fee.
So as blinkered as Damon as come off, for instance, I can’t imagine he had no idea how all of this would play.
My fear is that none of the people actually involved are being woken up to anything, though. And they’re the ones with the power to change it. It’s one thing for you and I to look at this and say, “Yeah, obviously Hollywood still has problems with diversity, prejudice, stereotypes, access, etc.” We already knew that.…
As galling as it is, I think this season is doing a lot of good, simply by pointing out so vividly the many blind spots people have around these issues. It educates and awakens everyone a bit more as we watch it.
Usually those threads are outnumbered by posts like yours. Always more posts about “can’t wait for those comments to roll in” than the actual comments about those jokes.
Not all POC have to have the same opinion. I’m glad you think she’s oh so cute. I think she’s oh so not. She’s still winning cause at the end of the day she’s gets your money. So let it ride.
True that we don’t know, but birth tourism has been a huge part of Chinese culture for several generations now.
