Fantastic advice. At 48, i finally recognize that i’ve spent WAY too much of my life trying to figure out what it is i’m “supposed” to do. Even worse is the time i’ve spent fantasizing about a “Peggy Sue Got Married” scenario, where i’d wake up in high school (or at 21, 30, etc. etc.) with a chance to do it all over.…

I am a young American graduate student in the state of Iowa. I am buried under a mountain of student debt and have lost all hope of ever paying it back. Neither of the major American political parties care to assist me.

I actually have a really similar take on this that might help, Perpetually Bored. I figured out really early on (like in my teens early on) that the whole ‘only do what you love for a living’ is total shite. I mean I’m sure it works for some people, but I find it hard to find peace within myself and I also struggle…

I think an undersold aspect of this is the death of the middle class. The ultra-wealthy are still buying Gucci, the rest of us have been demoted to fast fashion and athleisure.

I aspire to be a willowy 5'9" someday and look very chic in a preppy collared shirt. I’m 43 now though, so growing an extra 5 inches of height probably isn’t in the cards for me.

“Like most brick and mortar retailers in the past decade, J. Crew couldn’t compete with online retailers like Amazon, a broader problem for the industry at large.”

Unlined dresses drive me insane in general! And raw fucking hems!

It was years ago, but the last time I was in a J Crew, all the clothes were papery, see-through. Nothing looked like it would last longer than one cleaning. Yet I was supposed to pay $100+ for a dress with no lining?

As opposed to evidence that affirmatively proves a negative (i.e., that something definitely did not happen)? Biden definitely has a problem here because (among many things) he hasn’t actually demonstrated an absence of documentary evidence until he permits a search of the Delaware archive, and such a search comes up…

What we have here is a whole lotta people that have heard No too little. Oh, I’m sure they think they’ve heard no, but they just haven’t had to live with the nos that they have been told.

I really don’t want to hear another story or see anymore footage of police officers abusing black and brown children with the bullshit excuse of “I feared for my life.” If those officers could stand there and let those low life sacks of shit scream at them and act like the fucking gestapo and not raise one finger or…

They aren’t protesters. They’re domestic terrorists.

Let’s recall, again, how peaceful protestors are treated when the target of the protests is, ya know, tuition increases that might push them out of school or drive them into perpetual debt?

Defending a man accused of sexual assault is sure a weird way of fighting for other women, but whatever.

So I’m just going to make a wild guess and say the people storming the government building with guns and masks were white and that’s why they were apparently allowed inside instead of being shot dead?

You know damn well if black or brown protesters showed up at the capital building armed and yelling, there would have immediately been tear gas deployed and officers with itchy trigger fingers surrounding the scene. 

Second time I’ve read about this today. It’s only when I couldn’t find any comments that I realized I was on Deadspin. GO FUCK YOURSELF SPANFELLER.

There is no mystery.
