She reeeeeeeeally enjoys the attention.

Exactly! I wanted to like her supposed “kewl girl” vibe but find her so needy and obnoxious. She’s like that pretty and shallow girl who is popular in HS and gets to college and is super confused to not be adored by all.

Not diminishing your comment, but she basks in the light of social media, so she should get over herself.

She stands opposite LL Cool J in that Lip Sync Battle show. I think she got the gig because she’s famous on twitter, and I think she’s famous on twitter because she’s married to John Legend, and I think she’s married to John Legend because she’s famous for that Lip Sync Battle show, which she got because...

The thirst is real with that one. I think she can be funny and quirky at times but then I’m like, “wait, what are you famous for again? What have you done?” and then I get over it.

“Stop paying attention to us!” WAHHHHHH

The problem is, there are no metrics for success that employers can access to determine whether, indeed,…

“Being a political statement” alone is part of the problem.. nail hit on head. Taking care of your family is what WE’RE SUPPOSED TO DO. Making the lifestyle adjustments necessary to take the pay hit and take a year off work SHOULD show that you have clear and proper life priorities.

Yes. I left my job in July 2006, three days before WeePiglet arrived. I had planned to go back but we did the math and it didn’t make sense for me to do so, and I stayed home.

..Explain to me how this giant ancient terrible lizard doesn’t qualify as a dinosaur? I’m dumb.

It’s Deuteronomy not do it to me Rodney
