I think the key here is a level-headed, calm mind to start with. If you don’t have that right now, it might be hard to apply this advice. Find a therapist to help you get in the right mindset, or a good friend (or online community you trust) to bounce your thoughts off of. Sometimes the mind or our emotions can…

I love getting flowers/plants, but the kicker is making sure they are non-toxic to my pets. Sometimes people bring bouquets with lilies, which are super poisonous to cats (and dogs too, I think) of which we have both.

He doesn’t seem to consider the real possibility that they were equally qualified but he was insufferable and clueless or more annoying to work with. Or he just *thinks* they were equally qualified due to blind self-confidence but her potential surpassed his.

Holy Crap that is terrifying. Glad you made it out ok.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It’s really interesting and eye-opening to hear. It reminds me a bit of NextDoor in my neighborhood. I’ve seen similar posts of “Suspicious person driving around near XYZ lane”

Ryan Seacrest?

I wonder about this too. Maybe some animals have higher levels of consciousness than others of the same species and can develop empathy for helpless creatures, or the motherhood instinct is so strong in some species that any young child or baby needs to be taken care of, and that is coupled with a time of easily…

I’ll take the living with the wolves option in that case.

The wolves should refer to Moon Moon and his meme skills for social media expertise.

That’s true, but if they fight or harm each other it is usually due to life or death circumstances, right? Unlike petty fights in boardrooms and office politics...

I read the El Pais profile. Heartbreaking! It sounds like he was relatively happy prior to being found and is now lost between two worlds. I wonder how long he would’ve survived just living with the wolves. I wonder if he really stuck it out in the wild for a long time, if they would eventually accept him again. I…

But cost per living IS different depending on state/city. $60,000 is what you SHOULD make after investing a certain amount into education and needing to pay back debt and afford living expenses, or at least begin saving up for a house or for emergencies. At least, where I live (MN) that is approximately the salary…

So one 38 year old person - who could be crazy due to dealing with the hospitality industry on a daily basis - spends $500 to embroider a sweater and suddenly all millennials are spending their avocado toast money on this? What a baseless local-news “kids these days” story. “Are YOUR children smoking liquid soap? They…

I know their subscription business practices are.. sketchy maybe, but I actually have had good success with Fabletics leggings. They make plus sizes now, and high-waist styles. I am thick on my lower half and high-waists are mandatory, or I’m yanking up my leggings all through class. Being my disorganized self, I…

Fancy yoga-wear is also for wearing to after-yoga coffee or lunch, or pretending that you worked out while going out and running errands. It doesn’t seem like it would really have much to do with a practice at all unless it was actively distracting you during your workout for your pants to be slowly creeping down your…

I agree that cigarettes are terrible and a really bad unhealthy habit (actually that’s just a fact I suppose) but declaring they be illegal isn’t the right means to an end. Just like pro-lifers ignore the fact that abortion rate decline when abortion is legal and available, this would actually cause a much worse…

Iggy hurts me so much because I keep hoping she will step up and become self aware and she keeps not doing that. And she keeps getting so many opportunities! She feels like a relative who you know is probably kinda ditzy and well meaning but keeps doing stupid things that offend everyone and doesn’t have the mental…

THIS is the content I live for. My dreams aren’t dead after all. Dorothy Steel, you are my heroine!

I can add some more detail to this process. Step 1-3 is usually dominated by white guys who want to win awards, not necessarily make a good commercial. So they are coming up with messages they think will sell well to a demographic they aren’t, but they won’t bring those people into the room, because then they won’t…

Britta, you are the diet coke of all sodas. You are human tennis elbow. You are a pizza burn on the roof of the world’s mouth. You are the opposite of Batman!
