Victims love victimhood, so it seems. Or else there is some benefit to perpetuating it.

Interesting that 1) You care enough about Ben Shapiro at all to even write this, and 2) you don’t have any quotes (at all) that point to your stated conclusion that “his real beef with the movie: that it stars and celebrates black people, and that black people are excited about it.”

I don’t think that the link you provided to that Twitter feed shows that Ben Shapiro is a racist. Maybe that he said one or two obtuse things, but you should have more evidence of things before you make those claims.

This isn’t about “bettering yourself,” friend. It’s about ignoring truth and reality. It’s about politics and the flavor of the day. It’s about calling a delusion normal, and forcing that delusion on the rest of society via guilt. It’s about finding a new class of victims to cater to. It’s absurdity run amuck.

And yet ‘personperson’ has two “sons” in it. We need to stop it, already.

And the modern invention of “gender identity” is exactly why this entire choose-your-own-pronoun silliness is.... silly. Supposedly, “gender identity” is defined as a subjective, internal “sense” of your gender. Supposedly it is unmoored and unrelated to biological sex.

There is a gap, but it’s no where near as big as you think it is—and most of it is probably explainable by factors other than discrimination.

Oy vey.

If the company you are leaving has at least 20 employees, you’re eligible for COBRA (as noted). What’s not as clear is that you don’t have to *accept* COBRA until up to 60 days after your employer has given you written notification of your COBRA benefit. DON’T PAY FOR COBRA UP-FRONT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN IMMEDIATE,…

Weighing in every day is absolutely the secret to my success. A good weigh-in is a shot in the arm. An increase in weight a bit or more this morning? Then it's a reminder to stay on track, and don't make ANY excuses today. It's as often good news as bad, but it's the daily encouragement or kick in the seat of the…

Oh! I love the upper shelf! I just made a workbench, and each end has all sorts of detritus—and now I know where I'm going to put it! Thanks for the idea!

I'm pretty sure that the reasoning behind the ceiling fan advise is not entirely correct. The actual value of a ceiling fan in the summer is that it blows air on your body, helping your body feel cooler due to the now-increased evaporative effect of sweat/breeze. In the summer your ceiling fan should blow air…
