Japam has kara-age. They don't need anything else!

Alternative take: taking pictures of how much money you can afford to spend is ostentatious and an actual case of virtual signaling.

They are. I also assume that’s where this woman’s debt came from.  I really wish Jezebel would do a long piece about MLMs since they’re very anti-woman but mostly funded by women. 

When did it become 20%? Was there a press release sent out?

Building muscle in an area doesn’t remove fat stored in that area.

The whole thing just seemed like a really elaborate cover for what was otherwise garden variety predatory behavior. And it was coming from all corners of it. It was exhausting to process, let alone navigate, and I wanted no…

You are far from the first person I’ve heard a story like that from, and I fully believe you and deeply sympathize with you. And yes, it’s absolutely common and even normal to have that internal conflict of, “I know this behavior is bad but I also know that I trusted this person, which part of me was wrong?” when…
