i feel like it’s also a way for people to be like “WHY DID I LEARN CALCULUS BUT NOBODY EXPLAINED INSURANCE FORMS TO ME” sort of thing. it’s nice to know that everyone else is also totally lost...

And can I just add that’s is annoying when someone starts a story about how their generation or their parents’ generation did things so much better and subsequent generations will never know what hard work really is. Also, and I know this is shocking, but a lot of people still have kids at a really young age and have…
I wanted to hope that whoever wrote this was being tongue-in-cheek here but it really reads that they are not, and are in fact serious as hell. And if a site designed to help adults waste time can’t show humor at the idea of adults laughing at acting like adults, then it’s time to close up shop, because really wtf.
Yeah, at least in my circle of friends, no one is actually giving themselves accolades for doing this, but rather ironically acknowledging that we should have done it before/earlier/faster/more frequently.
As someone who is sort of 25 going on 12, I kind of read “adulting” as pointing to the dissonance between what we thought “adult” meant as kids, and what it ends up meaning once you get there....
Like in a lot of cases “adult” is a performance just like anything else. I have to attend a conference for my work this…
This is possibly the most humorless thing I’ve read in a while. “#Adulting” is obviously a joke, meant to be taken as such. Most of the time I see it, it’s used by the person saying it to skewer themselves for being childish or lazy, not to garner praise.
Why bother? You’re just going to be playing Fallout 4 again today on your parent’s couch.
Last week, Scott Weiland, embattled lead singer for the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, died in his sleep;…
Two of the gun nuttiest gun nuts that I know are perfect examples of the stereotypical gun stroker/if I only had my gun kind of guys. Neither one would survive a firefight. One is a former high school football player with 2 bad knees and pissy vision and the other has gone from chubby kid to morbidly obese adult with…
Oh man, I sat and bit my tongue (or fingers as it were) while a friend of a friend commented on her facebook post, basically saying that every single adult person should carry at all times and be ready to defend themselves. If I have a weapon loaded and ready to shoot, what on earth is there to stop my small children…
Falwell’s comments are just a perfect encapsulation of how these idiots think. The racism, of course, but also the action hero fantasy bullshit that they tell themselves.
People so rich, they’re allowed to fuck their cousins.
This reminds me of a guy I had a one-night stand with who told me that feminism was invented by the Soviet Union so that women would have abortions and keep the population of the West down.
Bigotry is bigotry. Parsing racism from xenophobia from Islamophobia is trying to distance yourself from people you consider to be bigots while defending your own bigotry. Zimmerman is not using the term “dirty Muslim” because he has concerns about theology. Calling dark people “dirty” is about the oldest play in the…
In a series of tweets, the bigoted folk hero accused a woman of sleeping with a “dirty Muslim,”
I got such grief in grad school because I worked while I went. Well, my mom and dad (as generous as they are), weren’t going to buy me a row home in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia and pay for all of my food and clothing while I went to grad school. Why couldn’t I just do x,y, z (like fund my own travel or…
Just for me personally, I grew up in a house without enough food or medical care, among other stuff that I don’t want to get into, and when I was a young adult I really struggled, so I would never be comfortable having children at all unless I knew I would have enough financial means to take care of them, and still be…
I gotta say thanks to my dad for being kind of poor and making me do it all on my own. I paid for my own college, transportation, incidentals, etc. I was the only one out of my peer group whose parents weren’t funding their education. I was also the only one who graduated early, got a full time job 3 weeks after…
People tend to ascribe their own success to their effort and other peoples to circumstance. It’s a lack of self awareness similar to the third-person effect where only other people are affected by advertising.
Based on the informal trust fund people I have known (millennial or not, and all white) they don’t think of it as help but rather something they are due.
