If rent is half your pay, that’s a symptom of the problems being talked about in the article. Older people that have been in the middle class on up historically generally did not have this problem. When you could buy a house for $120-130K and you made $50-60K a year (approx $650 a week take home), health insurance was…

You forgot Moira’s dead ex-girlfriend - officially the most pointless and unproductive plot point on the show. Laugh-out-loud moment of the series: that terrible picture of Holly-in-the-Colonies. I wouldn’t mind the Colonies so much. Who the hell would take that picture? What’s the point of taking that picture?

I’m a late Boomer myself, and I didn’t support many of those politicians. But somebody did, and since Boomers have been the largest demographic voting bloc for decades now, I think it’s safe to say that we played a role in that as a group, even if we didn’t personally play a role. 

This season has just been filled with high stakes that go nowhere.

This letter writer sounds absolutely insufferable.

I’ve never really been single for more than a few months since I’ve typically got a queue of people wanting to date me (I’m a bit of a catch).

it’s amazing how much welfare we give farmers.

I volunteer as tribute 

Agreed. Traffic safety rules are fearmongering as well. I never look both ways when crossing the street and I’ve yet to be hit by a vehicle.

Honestly this is probably not a popular opinion around these parts, but hey...the sexual revolution cut both ways. We got increased freedom of choice not to marry, to remain childfree if we wish, to have multiple partners if we wish etc...and so did men. Of course, given the choice and absent societal pressure to marry…

That part is weird.. but not inconceivable that they saw him, and in order not to screw it up face-to-face, she scribbled out her thoughts there at the restaurant before getting up.

Good for her, man. Good for her. I only hope that in the same situation I would be able to remain as brave and composed. 

Millennials are destroying the natural order of things by attempting to pay off 6 figure student debt and find a home they can afford before supporting children.

At least they’re consistent. They don’t narc to your wife or law enforcement when they know their spokesperson raped 9 year old sex slaves, really shows commitment to their marketing ideals.

“There will be no funeral, no repast, everyone get the hell out of my church” MY. CHURCH. This strike anyone else as hugely fucked up? 

I think she was just trying to remark on the fact that you normally have to be pretty precise in baking whereas in cooking you have a lot more leeway when it comes to adding ingredients into a dish.

I live in Houston now, and as an ABC, I find the Chinese food selection to be amazing

As your fellow immune system challenged one, I can second this. That was exactly my thought too, buffets, salad bars, are guaranteed hurt for me. Colds or worse, I learned to avoid them about 2 months into being chronically ill.

Most sushi restaurants serve frozen fish. Even the good ones. The big difference is that really high-quality frozen fish is frozen on the boat and remains thoroughly frozen until the restaurant thaws it. There is really no reason for a cheap sushi place to be substantially better or healthier inland versus on the…

My brother-in-law is the only person I know who has gotten this particular type of food poisoning... He is a physician and he said he knew it was from the Thai he had because apparently the bacteria on room temp rice is one of the few things that will make you sick within a half hour or so.
