Are you my wife?

I agree. The outdoors are going to be prohibitively toxic soon enough anyway, so we might as well start training our youth to fear the sun.

NO DAMNIT! We mean all the GOOD stories about how serving for low pay in an organization that sends you off on long deployments away from your spouse and children, with no regard for the toll it takes on them, to situations where you might experience the horrors of combat that, even if you aren’t killed, can have

No matter where you move or live, rising rents will catch up to you.

I’m starting to get a nagging sense that when people say The Economy is fine, they mean that it is working exactly as designed: funneling more and more money into fewer and fewer grimy hands.

The one with the six-month grace period sounds okay if you’re between jobs and are fairly confident you’ll get one in a few months. A 15%-17% interest rate on rent payments is going to snowball quickly and brutally.

Loans to pay your rent? The Economy is fine y’all! No need to worry! Unemployment is at 4%! The Stockmarket is the highest it’s ever been!

They need to be taken as seriously as white nationalists in terms of the damage they can do.

It would be remiss not to note the role the current regime in the United States has had in fostering incel culture. Gamergate was a watershed moment in mobilizing online misogyny. Some of the key people fanning the flames of online anger associated with that event include Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos. They

It’s also not about the ability to attract a woman, it’s about the ability to not be ‘given’ the ‘right’ woman by society. For your 60 year old friend, a 60 year old woman wouldn’t be acceptable, she’s past her prime while he is still a virile man!

Well, women are taught that a man is a necessity that they must earn, and men are taught that women are an entitlement they deserve.  Seriously, when I have you heard “you’ll never get a wife/woman that way” the way you hear “you’ll never get a man/husband that way?”

I have a male friend I would categorize as “incel-like.” He’s certainly never expressed any violent thoughts but is filled with resentment over the women who are not interested in him. He’s in his early 60s, does not take care of either his health or his appearance, and can be extremely condescending. He believes the

And here’s the thing — real diamonds aren’t precious. They’re not rare. If De Beers were to release the stockpiles of diamonds they’ve held back over the last century or two, the market would be so flooded, diamonds would be worth less than amethyst. Their value is based on a manufactured scarcity and an aggressive

DeBeers greatly inflates the price for sure by hoarding diamonds and increasing demand through marketing, but they are still a rare mineral. The geologic conditions are highly localized so they don’t appear over wide areas like other gems and precious metals do.

The whole thing is a farce. Diamonds aren’t rare at all. DeBeers has literal warehouses filled with them. They artificially constrain supply to dramatically increase demand under the myth that diamonds are “rare.” They’re anything but. 

My current favorite is “generic grocery store brand” Ultra. (I currently have Publix, but other chains carry ‘em with their own branding). 9000IU in a single individually wrapped, pocket friendly tablet.

“Murrah is currently out on $2,000 bond”

Yeah, I suppose you’re right.  Hershey’s milk chocolate is definitely better than Palmer, but then again so is potting soil mixed with water.

My husband played Fallout 4 for ages, and I refused to sit anywhere near him until he explained that Dogmeat is God, and therefore immortal. To quote a Kokatu user, he is Godmeat.

What they really need is a service like “Does the Dog Die,” only to tell me if the dog is immortal. The change to an immortal Dogmeat in the later Fallout games might have been the best improvement in the whole series.
