OMG, this so much! The hoop-jumping is really sickening. It’s even worse when you finally get a job and it appears to totally suck and the company misrepresented itself. It really puts you off from wanting to try again.

Thanks, I just sprayed tea all over my keyboard from laughing too hard.

Both in High School as well as in college a significant number of assignments needed to be done in teams and I’ve always hated it. In the best case scenario most of the group would focus on the work and you’d always have a few freeloaders who did nothing. In the worst case scenario it depended on popularity to even…

I couldn’t agree more. I recently got a job straight out of college and I was ready to work my ass of for this company. I also worked my butt off to get the job in the first place. What for, I now wonder? There were so many things that didn’t make sense and so many road-blocks to doing the actual work. Plus the new…

Sadly the judge would probably reduce that to below half a million. Texas has a cap on damages that can be awarded when a governmental entity gets sued.

Or you we stop creating a demand for trafficking by introducing the Nordic model for prostitution like Sweden has done. They have almost no trafficking cases anymore, because the majority of people think decent people do not use prostitutes.

People (and that includes women) deserve better than to have to rent out or…

Why do we use pejorative, anti-woman slurs to describe something negative on a site for women?

I hope you know what insanity that lawsuit has been used to justify. I was horrified, but here is the documentary about the case and the horrible aftermath:

The only feminist minded religion I know is Dianic Witchcraft. I am an atheist born and raised, but by goddess to protect my body I may just become a witch.

I’d say read her post again. Where does it say that?

How is sharing your own opinions patronizing?

I think what’s patronizing here is that you are not allowed to say you don’t like blowjobs because you think they are disgusting. I think smoking is disgusting too. It’s gross to force people to pretend to like something or keep quiet about how they really feel, because…

I am glad you posted this. The knee-jerk reaction to defend porn and call porn “healthy” even when the most popular porn is decidedly not, really baffles me. Why are people on feminist websites so eager to jump to the  defense of porn when a lot of the porn people consume depicts heavy abuse of female porn performers?

T…

Maybe, just give her the information in small chunks, rather than the whole depressing saga at once.

And make her read this and understand that it’s not her fault, but that this will show her who her true friends are and are not. That it is OK to get angry and to use that anger to build a life that works for her in this woman-hating world.

They would have complained more if you had flushed them down the toilet. Honestly, men can be such morons. How did they pass biology in highschool?

I don’t spend much time on Jalopnik, but such an attitude from car-enthusiasts is very surprising/disappointing.

I am one of those people who “doesn’t care about cars” in the sense that I couldn’t name a lot of brands or the latest fancy models on the road. Also I am cheap/a low income worker, so price is everything. I bought my first car last year and I paid for it in cash with money I had saved up specifically for this purpose.

You mean you hope duckling will be working and be able to pay taxes. Poverty and unemployment are on the rise too. Not to mention the fact that low paying jobs don’t pay enough to make ends meets. I am scared for my own situation (old millenial about to lose her job), but I fear even more for the next two generations…

I think it’s more likely that people will have only one child or none at all. The birthrates in my country (Holland) and those countries around us are already dropping and I can see why. Having children is becoming a luxury.

OMG, I already hated being in school from 8:30 till 15:00. But to be in school till well in the evening, I’m not sure I would have survived that. School made me miserable.
