I’ve been told they didn’t want to serve us any more alcohol and we should go to sleep like everyone else. My boyfriend went to protest, but I realized we shouldn’t push it and just turned off the light. He stopped talking and the flight attendant smiled at me and walked away. I still felt like an idiot; we were…

If you live in a city, you’re fucked unless you get out before the shit hits. Most preppers tell you this. Get the fuck out of the city before the panic and violence.

What a bunch of assholes in this thread. If this thread is anything to go by, other countries have better public services because they’re nicer people. Thank god I live in Australia, I can’t think of a single person who would utter the sentiments I’ve read here.

It’s been four years and I’m still wondering why so many Average Janes thought that a book by a Corporate Jane was somehow going to empower their career. Can anyone tell me how Lean In was going to help the grocery store cashier get a fifty cent raise this year?

The amount of discussion about this book among women has…

Huh. It’s almost as if policy and patriarchy dictate this stuff and not the you-go-get-‘em determination of individual women.

I miss the good old days.

Teacher student loan forgiveness is awesome. My wife is a teacher and met all the requirements to qualify for $5,000 worth of student loan forgiveness. We applied shortly after the end of the school year last year (that was the end of her 5th year in a Title 1 school). While it took some time (and a few…

Agreed. Most young people, that are still actively working to maximize their nest egg, see a large dollar figure as the ultimate goal. Once you get to retirement, not giving an F about money anymore becomes more of a priority.

Whenever I decide to resume journaling, I picture the deep thinking and meaningful insights that will flow onto the page.

The BBC doc mentioned showed a university study group, either here or in the UK, and their eating habits. They did not binge like some might expect on the non-fasting days. I tried this for a while and also didn’t, and lost weight and felt good. But I mean, rather than try it or accept that it may work for some,…

I still imitate Joey Buttafuoco - it got a lot more laughs 20 years ago but I can’t help myself. Now I just get blank looks unless my sister is around.
