You need to find someone who is objectively good at that thing, kill them, and eat their brain. It is CRITICALLY important that you don’t mistakenly cannibalize the brain of someone who is merely pretending to be good at that thing as that is how you get prions.

This is what supremely gets under my skin. It really does.

Hahahahahahaha...

It’s literally our job in this society and without it said society would fall apart, and everybody knows it. It’s like we’re on a giant, ancient ship, leaking from every seam, and women are the ones who have to spend our entire lives running around patching, patching, patching. Because if we don’t it’s our fault we’ll…

i don’t want kids. i had my tubes tied so i don’t have any accidents. babies especially are not for me, out of all the varieties of kids.

And then markets wine to us like it’s the cutest, girliest solution to our problem. Instead of, you know, telling men to clean the bathroom without being asked.

It is easier. Because it’s not a matter of one discussion or making a job chart: it’s facing how your marriage has shaken out, all the slack you’re picking up because it’s easier than reminding your spouse fifteen times, the feeling that you’re working three jobs and that’s just what’s expected and if you complain…

I mean, it’s probably that your husband requires daily reminding and managing in order to contribute 30% of the work you’re doing, not the occasional request to wrap a birthday present. I can see why that would drive one to escapism.

Rural, sure. But all that land is private and people don’t generally appreciate you stomping onto their farm with a fancy 4x4. In four years of living in VT and looking for places to drive off-road, I found a few random sand pits and an annual mudding event but the “trails” are for horses and bicycles.

What lunatic has a second child just so the first doesn’t have ‘to face an environmental collapse alone.’????

Outback is just a state of mind, man. We’re all outback of something.

Maybe “bomb” isn’t the right word to use there.

Thanks for writing about this. The warehouse picking/packing/stowing jobs worked in such a manner create a timebomb for serious work-related injury. It’s “when”, not “if” each employee will be hurt in a physically demanding, fast-paced job like this. $12/hr is a pathetic sum to pay when the work could permanently…

Honestly this sounds pretty much the same as manufacturing jobs, just without the constant movement. Whole time spent on your feet, slightly better than normal hourly wage, and some stupid method of tracking your location and breaks while clocked in.

Yeah, I really feel the bar is low enough that the rest of the rat bastards can catch up with me before I’m hopping on the Improvement Train, especially on my vacation.

Looking at that bedspread ... guess we know where Ivanka got her SOTU dress.
