Absolutely correct. The golden age of Hollywood was very female centric. From the performers to a surprising number of behind the scenes uplayers. From film editors to producers. I was surprised to learn that in the early days of color, it was a woman who guided directors on how to shoot in technicolor. And that the…

How is earning more going to help unless you save? If you’re earning $1,000 a month and saving $500 of it you’re better off than someone who’s earning $10,000 a month and spending it frivolously. So, sure, try to earn as much as you can, but then make your money work for you - either save or invest it, or a bit of…

Meh. It was my aggressive savings in my early 20s that now makes it such that some years I “make more” on my investments than I do at my full time job.

Sure, we could invent little stories, like we watched ‘X Files’ when we were young and now believe anything can happen. Or, we could be reasonable human beings, go off the information provided, and use Occam’s razor.

I completely agree with you. N. K Jemisin’s books are phenomenal and Im not sure why she is missing from so many lists of great books released in 2017.

I just bought it last week on Kindle, but seeing as how I haven’t finished “Who Fears Death” yet, I must be patient.

The 3rd book in N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth series, The Stone Sky, dropped this year. Jemisin’s world building is amazing and the story is epic. I don’t want to spoil it because, again, it’s the 3rd and final book but it’s a Must Read.

Hahah no way. It’s bad enough that there’s 70-80 year old men in government positions that insist their ancient views be forced on modern society, we don’t need those same people living another 200 years and screaming about how things in the 1950s were better than they are in 2200. Humans should never live that long…

This is one of my greatest fears as a middle school principal. I am constantly looking into bullying issues, recommending kids (victims AND bullies) to counseling, and contacting parents/guardians trying to work out solutions and end the bullying issue. Kids are smart, though, and with the advent of snapchat and other…

We disagree about that, but okay. There’s plenty of greed in investing, but there’s nothing particularly greedy about having a basic IRA or other retirement account so that you can save enough money to not die in poverty. There are also plenty of other values-based investment opportunities that have too low of a…

This is the best kind of public service announcement.

that’s the only way.

Yes! All of this! It messes us up to the extent that you don’t know how to feel or behave when they fuck with past events. And yet they’re able to recall them when it is convenient to do so - when they want to switch the narrative yet again.

My SIL sells this garbage. My wife and I refer to it as “clothes for the suburban mom who has given up.”

Thats how to do it before 35

You’d have killed her pops.

He runs like a six year old who just saw a bee.

The word he’s looking for is “sassy”. He better pray he don’t find it.

You don’t need much to get going. My first investment in the stock market was $53 when I was 21.
