While the book is wreaking havoc on Trump and his staff, it’s not clear how much of it is true or vetted.

This commercial for Sandals is awfully dramatic.

I think there are planners and there are wingers and they are often not compatible (or the winger just goes along with whatever the planner wants). “Winging” a plan makes me anxious and angry and usually ends up with plans falling through. For example, if a girl needs to know whether she should get ready to go out,…

I caught the possum that was eating all the food for our outdoor cats and took him to a creek nearby. When I got home my Dad said the possum got there before me.

I would add that there is absolutely no attempt to grapple with the actual, functional policies that are messing these people’s lives up. You would think that given how celebrated articles like Ta-Nehisi Coates’ article on redlining or reparations was, you might see attempts to imitate it rather than simply dutifully…

Research from the Vietnam war into heroin-using American soldiers showed that it’s not that easy to get addicted to opiods. If you have a happy life, you don’t get addicted that fast. In fact, statistics show that the vast majority of heroin-using American soldiers just quit heroin after returning to the USA.

That was a big deal in this case, I know the defense was trying to argue against them being tried as adults, but the insanity/mental health issue came in to play more than anything else for these girls. They actually thought they could *walk* to Slenderman’s “mansion”, and that it was in the nearby national forest.…

Well, thank God you were able to share that with us.

Failing upward is a common practice among white men.

pfft. Be as judgy as you want. Fuck Burning Man; once the money showed up it turned into a giant party for basic wypipo. Let’s not forget the “native-inspired” cultural-appropriation fashion show, the mountains of trash, the ongoing problem with serial rapists, alongside the more fundamental problem of a bunch of rich…

I have met enough burners to feel like your opinion isn’t that far off from mine. The reality is that burners have long since made a mess of what they love and now it is a tourist attraction. It is the hippy equivalent of Disneyland and that is all there is to it. As it is, most burners have grown up and gotten real…

Burning Man has a landing strip for private aircraft. Its an elite event for the rich.

I think most politicians are corrupt on some level. Our system encourages it. I think Obama would have had more skeletons if he had had a longer political career. And ultimately I don’t think a “better” woman could have made it to where Clinton did. There is so much hatred towards women (hatred that people won’t even…

This person is acting like a creep. If it was a guy, I think people would be even more creeped out. It is incredibly relevant that they haven’t kissed a guy yet at this age and yet are creating some fantasy where they might be “the other woman” or “home-wrecking”.... They are combining adult concepts with childlike…

Imo, the only reason Spacey is good at all is that his inherent sleaze informs his sleazy characters. I always thought he was creepy.

Cranston’s comments really irk me.

One thing it took me a long time to learn in my 20s was that I don’t even actually WANT to be friends with a lot of people I used to know. They’re fine people, but their lifestyles diverged from mine and it turns out that simply living down the hall from someone for a year in college isn’t enough to sustain a…

I don’t get the hate. Some bored house wife turns her kinky Twilight fanfiction into a dumptruck full of money. We should all wish to accomplish as much.

Meanwhile my fanfic ‘Gundam Wang: Operation Sodomy’ has yet to make me any money at all. :/

Making new friends as an adult: how do you do it? Mine are either all A) scattered across the country or B) dudes.
