I’m here to ruin the fun.

I get the joke, and I laughed, but are we still under the impression that water drains in opposing directions depending on which hemisphere it’s in? It doesn’t, the coriolis effect just isn’t that strong; any difference in flow is going to based on the direction of input water not where it’s…

1) Rio is in the same hemisphere.

If you would’ve told me in 2004 that literally EVERY ONE of of Lohan’s Mean Girls costars would have bigger careers than her in 2016, I’d have said you were crazy. Of course, Trump is also the GOP nominee.

This was pure strategy, and I cannot be angry at that. We need all the strategy we can get, and frankly, those who need something more than the actual GODDAMN APOCALYPSE to inspire them, I can’t count on them to vote anyway.

He also (and people forget this) made it to the final round of vetting FOR OBAMA. And he wasn’t even a Senator then.

Just a reminder that back in ‘08, when Obama picked Biden, everyone was like “That boring old white dude?” And now we’re all like UNCLE JOE PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US.

I’ve had that same kettle for a number of years and it’s been amazing. Highly recommended at this price.

FYI, the carry on is TINY. I bought and returned it because I hair couldn’t get 3 days of clothes into it. Also, not super impressed with the wheels and the handle (very loose).

I worked as a receptionist at a nail salon in downtown Chicago while in college. I don’t really know the labor laws here, but some women were making $2/ hour but I learned it was because they were new and did not have a license. I found out that several of them actually didn’t have a license, but the owner definitely…

I hate the whole forgiveness thing most as much as “but she’s your family, you’ll work it out eventually”. I had worked my toxic, abusive, vindictive mother out of my life almost completely and she sucked me back in right before she killed herself and left all her money to my older sister. MY sister knew she was…

And even if you do forgive someone it doesn’t mean letting them back into your life, or even telling them that you forgive them.

Same here. Mom's break with reality happened when I was 12. She was diagnosed Schizo/Paranoid (at least that what her meds were usually prescribed for) When she was awake she was accusing everyone in the world of being against her. She thought the government was after her, including having bugged the house, so she…

okay you literally just described my relationship with my mother. I tried to ‘forgive’ for so long that it completely ate away any good or even neutral feeling i had towards her. I tried to cut her out of my life twice but the cult of forgiveness guilted me into diving back into her hate, cruelty, and drama. I finally…

I definitely have that same anger towards my family. It makes it hard because I do love my extended family, but I also have this twin-self who can't stand that they just stood by and did nothing, basically. I am happy to hear your mom finally got treatment, albeit tragically late in life.

This is sort of my deal with my father (he died a number of years ago, making the whole thing more confusing). Anyways, he was abusive, but because I think it came from severe mental illness this makes my feelings towards him really complicated, as I have empathy for what I imagine his struggles might have been. But I…

Yeah, thank you, thank you for saying this. It’s so in the culture, that Oprah-style forgiveness message, that I feel awful for being at all angry that my mom let my stepfather molest me. I fake-forgave her from the beginning and am just now starting to own the anger. I DO NOT WANT HER IN MY LIFE, but it’s terrifying…

Can I just add that I hate how everyone views abuse as some sort of Cinderella story? You HAVE to forgive; you need to get over it because you found a good man; you must function like someone who was not horribly abused for decades. Doesn’t work like that.

Mothers Day has gotten exponentially harder since my dad died; on one hand, my mom’s depressed, and despite our differences, I don’t want her to wallow her life away in sadness- which means being somewhat present in her life. On the other hand, this is the same woman who held a cleaving knife to her heart last year…

My mom did a hell of a job raising me and my brother through a lot of troubles. Among them...

That Koenigsegg video is a joke right? Right?!
