Wow.

I normally feel like child actors are a little smarmy, but the kid from Room is killing it on the carpet. So cute!

Maybe come back to it tomorrow? I understand if my comments would make people upset. FWW, I really do welcome real dialogue, even the hard kind (which is different than just being called names.)

Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate that you engaged me instead of calling me a whiny moron. Harassment feels shitty regardless of race.

Exactly- it’s a short version of “This is why I’ll never be an adult” which is hilarious and relatable and shows how difficult-to-navigate our world can be. I honestly wonder how I do it a lot of the time.

I don’t think our parent’s generation were really that much more mature than us anyway. My parents married in 1971 but didn’t have my older brother until 1981 because my dad wasn’t sure he would ‘like’ us. Proto-millennial.

Yeah I don’t get it. The other day I read a thread somewhere about “makeup trends that you hope will end in 2016” and I honestly couldn’t think of anything, because like... if I don’t want to put something on my face, I just... won’t put it on my face? I don’t have the energy to get annoyed about shit like this.

Not to mention, there’s a reason people were able to afford to have families and buy houses at the age of 28 decades ago. We actually had a middle class, benefits at jobs, and minimum wage kept up with inflation. The reason people are not having children and buying houses today is at least partially contributed to…

Yuuuuup. I saved my pennies and bought a house at 23. I got married at 25. I had kids at 27 and 29. Perhaps a more old school adult. But I fucking haaaate adulting. It still sucks. I have to talk to people and crap. And rent cars and worry about the door getting dinged by someone else or something. Yeah, that’s one of…

it’s used by the person saying it to skewer themselves for being childish or lazy, not to garner praise.

i feel like it’s also a way for people to be like “WHY DID I LEARN CALCULUS BUT NOBODY EXPLAINED INSURANCE FORMS TO ME” sort of thing. it’s nice to know that everyone else is also totally lost...

“Our parents lives sucked...our lives should suck, TOO! Put down that phone and stop playing games, time for you to suffer old-school style!”

This is like the opposite of an Onion article.

Right? “I am ridiculous and I know it” is the whole point.. Rather similar to “first-world problems.”

And can I just add that’s is annoying when someone starts a story about how their generation or their parents’ generation did things so much better and subsequent generations will never know what hard work really is. Also, and I know this is shocking, but a lot of people still have kids at a really young age and have…

I wanted to hope that whoever wrote this was being tongue-in-cheek here but it really reads that they are not, and are in fact serious as hell. And if a site designed to help adults waste time can’t show humor at the idea of adults laughing at acting like adults, then it’s time to close up shop, because really wtf.

I’m borrowing it from someone else on Jez (wish I could find it), who said “I’m not pro-choice. I’m pro-abortion.” And I am, FOR ANY REASON. Because I do not (nor does ANYONE else) have the moral authority or right to condemn anyone for exercising autonomy over their own bodies.

I’ve been following this hashtag on Twitter and it makes me so happy to hear people stand up against bullies and refuse to be defined by other people’s expectations. You rock, Amelia and Lindy!

This was my Hannah. Gentle to a fault and loyal as they come. Late in her twelve-year life, she developed a degenerative nerve disorder that caused her to lose sensation in her lower back and hind legs. There was no treatment and we were told it would only get progressively worse. It caused her to lose bladder…

I've worked with animals my whole career and this is what I tell people who are struggling with whether to put an animal to sleep: It's a gift to offer euthanasia to our pets when they are suffering or have a poor quality of life. Pets are not capable of understanding why they are in pain, or why they must undergo a…
