Winning 4 out of 8 world cups in a HIGHLY competitive global sport is impressive.  Comparing soccer to basketball globally is like apples and oranges.  And there isn’t a need to compare them.  Both women’s teams are very successful in their respective sports.

A&F was definitely very popular well before the late 90s.  I was in college in Ohio in the early 90s and spent a lot of money there.  I have regrets.

Did she leave out the part where she was an asshole to him too? They got together too young (especially her) and then blew up on tv. They both had some bad behavior before and during the split.  

That story about Simu Liu getting laid off  would have more impact on me if he wasn’t 8 months out of college when it happened.  I want to hear the stories from people who work for years in a career they hate and end up happier after getting laid off or fired.

I read Just Mercy a few months ago. A lot of time it’s political. Prosecuting attorneys are often elected and they want to appear tough on crime. And they get pressure from other elected officials. Add in a huge amount of racism and abuse of power.

There is a huge difference between Holmes and Sorokin though.  Both were scammers but only one of them caused people to die as a result of their fraud.  Sorokin really is more sympathetic because she mostly scammed rich people without causing physical harm to anyone.

It’s a stretch to add Ava - a fictional character who works at a public school - into this narrative.  Really weird take there.

I had a huge student loan debt when I graduated in 98. My monthly payment was more than a luxury car payment.  I was able to pay off the loan in 15 years ONLY because my mom helped with the payments and I got a large stock payout when my company got bought out.  I fully support all student loan debt being cancelled. …

This bill isn’t performative though. Maybe if it impacted you directly you wouldn’t be so snarky about it.

Same.  My depression is relieved with sunlight and running.  I love that I get to enjoy more daylight in my evening and that I can run with less risk of getting hit by a car.  I will gladly take the 1-2 days of feeling tired and out of sorts.  People are so short-sighted.  Develop some coping skills people!

She has a job in Russia.  And how do you know she wasn’t trying to get the hell out?  She was arrested sometime in February.  We don’t know the date.

There are definitely people saying he’s hot.  I saw at least 10 posts/memes about it just yesterday.  

When has Pete been a total basket case?  He’s had extreme depression which he has been very open about.  It’s comments like this that keep people from talking about their mental health.

How not safe did you expect it to be?  It’s a family viewing audience.  Were you not here for Nipplegate?

That frightens you but spreading lies and false info doesn’t? Rethink your priorities. Fucking libertarians.

This isn’t the usual “I don’t like his views”. We can and should draw the line on giving a platform to dangerous false information, especially on a public health crisis. And it isn’t just Joe Rogan’s views - he has on guests who are quacks and hacks to spread misinformation about COVID and he plays the “devil’s…

Fetishization of books as decor, I agree. Books themselves are great in any form (even digital). I am not a fan of the built-in bookcase craze with stacks and piles of books. Mainly because I hate clutter and I don’t want all of that in my line of sight when I am watching TV. And also because NO ONE can read all those…

sir this is a Wendy’s

Whether the musical acts get paid or not has no relevance to this topic. The NFL makes a fuckton of money from the Super Bowl. They can afford to pay ALL the people who perform. Especially the people who don’t have name recognition and are not front and center getting “exposure”.

Therapy, self reflection, self awareness, learning tools to disrupt the negative thought spiral, and time, time, time.  That’s how people learn to love themselves.  I didn’t get there until my 40s and I still work at it every day.  There is no easy fix, it is one minute at a time, one step at a time.  I predict all…
