I ignore them. Act like they said nothing. This drives them fucking crazy and is super fun.

I’m fine with everybody who carved up and shot Leno LaBianca, Rosemary LaBianca, Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Wojiech Frykowski, Steven Parent, Jay Sebring, and Paul Richard Polanski dying in prison.

A lot of the “cruel and unusual!” people would likely have a different take were it their parents who were stabbed 60+ times with a bayonet, were it their father’s body who had words carved into it, and were it their mother’s blood that drug-addled nuts wrote on the walls with.

I’m fine with everyone who carved up Leno and Rosemary LaBianca with bayonets dying in prison.

I won’t have more tabs open than I need to complete my current task. Flat out won’t do it.

Until this moment, I had forgotten Tiffany Pollard exists. I still confuse her with Vicky Pollard.

It’s one effing meal. If you take care of yourself more often that not, one effing meal will not give you heart disease/make you obese.

The reactions I’ve gotten from trying to deal with noisy neighbors myself have ranged from their not even opening the door (it’s possible they didn’t hear me knocking over the Studio 54 circa 1977 volume of their music) to chasing me back to my apartment and attempting to force their way in. 

Talking to the offenders has never once worked for me. It has gotten my life threatened, though. Also, when I try to be a grownup and deal with it myself, everyone around me freaks out for putting myself at risk.

It’s a really crummy system we’ve got and it needs significant reform. But we have to work it regardless of how we feel about it and borrowing $20,000+ for a bachelor’s in sociology or whatever is not how we do that. (I actually do have a bachelor’s in sociology. If I had majored in sociology out of love of sociology,…

If you scrolled around, you’d find the other comment I left where I said I would have loved to have studied women’s studies or comparative religion. But I also wanted a job so I didn’t. :D

I think that to a lot of people, “I made a different choice for me than you made for yourself” is the same as “Your choice was bad.” The childfree by choice (of which I am one) are frequently just as defensive and intolerant as parents/want-to-be-parents.

And it was “ripped from the headlines” then, too. I believe there were multiple instances of this in the late 80s and early 90s.

Because I don’t want them and given how much it takes, financially and emotionally, to raise them up right and the high stakes of failure, it seems to me that only people who want to do that should.

I mostly just feel like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/682771837/signed-print-of-my-cartoon-those-who

It does, though. I get that I’m latching onto a point you weren’t trying to make, but if someone’s paying you do it, it’s of value to them. Ergo it’s legitimate work that’s worthy of basic respect. :)

I went to college in my state’s capital and social science majors were packed with people just getting a degree as quickly and cheaply as possible (State U.) Because having a BA in any social science was your ticket to working for the state government.

Throughout my education up to the point where I completed my gen ed requirements in college, I pulled As in the humanities and social sciences without breaking a sweat but worked my ass off for Bs in math and science. So I pursued graduate education and a career in the former area because it’s always more fun to be…

I have two graduate degrees and a good position that requires both degrees. They are not in exciting topics and were pursued with the end goal of getting the job I currently have. I would have loved to have studied comparative religion, linguistics, Russian, women’s studies, or literature and am super jealous of…

Aww, man! I thought you meant the original Hardy Boys TV series was coming to Hulu. Shaun Cassidy was so bangable.
