you clearly have an agenda here. shes HIGHLIGHTING her own privilege. fucking christ, is the world out to get you or something today?

Perspective, again. I saw that as a dig at her own privilege. Like she was admitting that as a well-educated, affluent white woman, she never had to think about things like this before.

it's 2008. Thanks to the limitless cupidity of the Wall Street swine and their Washington friends, you have no job. But you do own a six year old MB which you just paid off.

It's a matter of perspective. I read the same paragraph (It's not easy. To qualify, you must be pregnant or up to six months postpartum....) and read it as her trying to educate the reader that's it's not so simple as walking in and saying "give me stuff". This article was addressed to people that haven't been on…

It's great if more body types rather than fewer are included! I think what people take issue with is the fact that J. Crew has gotten itself into this situation where they're playing this weird vanity-sizing game with American customers, and now that they're trying to reach Asian markets, they've got to create this…

I read this story off of a reddit link, and a lot of people also came to her defense in keeping the car. The fact is, a known vehicle with a known maintenance history is a relatively smart decision over selling and getting a possible clunker. Controlling risk is just as important as controlling finances.

That's not Dov Charney, that's an unkempt Steve Guttenberg.

God, that's so depressing. This study would have been different even five years ago. Let's get it together, you guys.

Even if you mean this ironically, Imma whole heartedly agree. I literally got a list of things from my therapist to keep me occupied instead of dwelling in my own head, and I'm a fairly normal person. Even now when I think I keep my hands occupied with something minimal - sort of the shower principle.

As an introvert, sometimes after using the bathroom; I chill in the stall for a little while, if I need space from others.

Fuck that. Life is awful, and the only thing that keeps me from a constant state of contemplating suicide is occupying my mind by doing stuff.

I hate the mad rush to the gate when they announce that the plane is boarding. If you are not in Zone 1, do not crowd the front and prevent Zone 1'ers from getting to the attendant! We are all gonna get on the flight.

Bless your heart.

I would hope the solder would be smart enough to use their lower body to help climb out of the hole, over the fence, etc. That is not a pull up motion.

On the one hand, yes, there are physiological differences. On the other, let's look at something only tangentially related: this year, three women have completed the first stage of American Ninja Warrior (no woman has completed it prior to this season). Two of the three are relatively "tiny" women, the third is…

OK, can we please stop saying how amazing it was regarding how the USA did in the World Cup? We won one game against a country less than 1/10th are population and about 1/1000th our resources. That is it. Let's stop making it out like it was the '69 Mets.

Five years is not nearly an adequate sentence for rape. This is disgusting the judge should be disbarred.

And any farmer who receives subsidies. Hell, any CEO whose company took bailout money should have had to piss in a cup. Why go after minnows when there are sharks in the water?

Uhh, lotsa govt grants are financial need based and don't require repayment. Why stop at welfare though? get drug tested before dmv renewals, after giving birth, parents enrolling kids in public schools? it's ridiculous and targets a specific group of people as if they're the root of all problems.
