What kind of an asshole would choose to vote for Bernie first, but then have Biden (instead of Warren) second? Or have Warren first, but Biden (instead of Bernie) second?

She’s a lumberjeack and she’s OK/She sleeps all night and she works all day...
Does anybody else read the name Stassie as rhyming with “sassy?”
Thank you, I have been seeing a therapist and she suggested the same thing.
Seriously, don’t feel bad for those people. I posted above - my parents live at the resort. First of all, yes, they are generally assholes. Second, the place is structured to look like an old slave plantation, with a literal ‘big house’ and slave cabins where the guests stay. Third, there are 4 pools and at least 5…
Disagree. I think this is on the resort. They made the decision to accommodate the Bieber requests at the expense of their other guests.
I lost my brother to suicide 3 years ago last June. We had always had a strained relationship, his wife died at the same time. We’ll never know what really happened in that moment. He made some truly fucking horrible decisions in his life. In retrospect, after we found out what he’d been through as a child, it made…
And I also know that being a white male, I’ve got it so much better than 99% of the population. I wish nobody felt like this
This is a good candidate for the best piece I’ve read on Jezebel at all
White male or not, EVERYONE has problems and it is MORE THAN OKAY to ask for help to take care of ourselves and become stronger. It is common to go to the doctor when we have an issue with physical health after all, awful insurance programs notwithstanding
I’m so sorry to hear your pain. Know that there is a way out - I have been where you are many, many times. I knew exactly how I’d kill myself and actually made sure I always had enough pills on hand to do it if I ever finally decided to go ahead. I’m very lucky that I could share all of this with my sister who has…
Reka Prasad is as goddamn rockstar. Fellow therapist here, I was nodding in agreement to every one of her quotes. I’m so glad that Prachi has her!
Prachi, I am so moved by this essay. Your brother sounds incredible. It’s difficult to read how beguiling the MRA movement can be, especially to Indian men. I can’t imagine the pain of losing your sibling.
Im glad this was posted to deadspin. As an older white male, it may seem like I am unable to relate. However, having recently changed jobs, I struggle currently with depression, questioning my value, my worth...I now become paralyzed at the slightest stressful decision, and I’m not sure that I’ll last.
This is the best piece you’ve ever written on Jezebel, and I’m so sorry for your loss.
make sure he knows you love him, include him, and respect him. that he’s not the sum of these unfortunate circumstances (particularly underemployment and infidelity). if you look at his situation and start telling him not to become an mra or white supremacist, you’re effectively pushing a perspective into his mind that…
As a middle aged, first generation, Desi guy; this was eye opening. My condolences to you and your family. I am sorry for your loss. I want to write more, but I will refrain. I am going to reread this again as I have nephews, nieces and sons and daughters of friends that feel this sense of alienation.
“He was very inconsistent with his use of SSRIs and so he was constantly going on and off them,” she said.
[heart emoji] My brother went missing (presumed dead) approximately 18 months ago. After he went missing, my mom and I found some google searches on suicide and time spent on conspiracy theory sites. I did not reach out to him enough because he so rarely reciprocated and because he put on a brave face to the rest of…
Thank you. I think anyone that has a sibling that they worry about in any sense can find a connection here.
