Where the hell was he that the soil was bad? I can think of one portion of the state that is just tundra, but that’s really close to the arctic/actually the arctic.

A store being for losers doesn’t bother me, I’m not much of a cool kid, I just like being able to buy a nice winter jacket that will last and look cute and shoes for my mother (like I said). I bought sandals that were comfortable enough to walk all over different areas of L.A. and wander around Disney Land for 13…

Unfortunately I live in a city that has way more people than houses available. It’s almost like a mini silicon valley, but instead of technology, people move here for oil jobs, university, or of course the air force/army base in town. I’m lucky to have parents who really don’t mind me living with them until I finish…

I think you’re right, I know the film crew on Survivor had nice hotels in the nearest city and got to eat nice food instead of rats.

Is there something wrong with REI? I go during sales to buy my mom new boots with extra ankle support. She almost lost her foot because of a hiking accident, She’s had 5 surgeries to reconstruct her ankle wth at least 13 screws or pins, three plates, and two tightropes, and to clean out a very bad limb threatening…

The fact that she felt superior to the 10% who got in, and actually let the lawyer use her as a marionette to further his agenda makes me think she has a Veruca Salt attitude. A person would have to lack all sorts of common sense to take their problem with affirmative action all the way to the supreme court. If she…

Disclaimer: I dropped out at 15 with the plan of going to college earlier and I was encouraged to do so by everyone in my life. How are the grades and test scores so available to a scummy lawyer and an entitled girl trying to kill the goal of an even playing field? It makes no sense that that should be okay.

I honestly think the mixture of it being summer, and the damn REI store (which I love) has convinced tourists and locals alike that they have the survival skills on the same level of Bear Grylls. This is a weird and pretty dangerous state and there’s no way in hell that I’d go to that van/bus thing. I don’t even like…

Can you point me to the GPA, SAT, and other useless standardized test scores of the minorities who got in with crappier scores? How would she even know that those other kids had a worse high school performance? I don’t know what race or gender you are (so maybe you’ve heard this all before) but people seriously…

That is so unbelievably common, it’s actually not even pathetic to me.

You can go notify her mother about her terrible parenting, since she was home on those days and let her do that stuff, and gave her the matches.

If you rent, there isn’t too much you can do to childproof an apartment or house. A bunch of giant holes in the walls will reduce what you get back in your deposit when you move out. I get that the parents need to realize that it’s their responsibility to take their childless set up and make it a bit uglier (and…

I’m going to slightly contradict what I said in an earlier post, but whatever. There needs to be at least a slightly low level of common sense to realize that if you need to bolt big furniture to the wall. My mom’s husband bought two bookshelves that are taller than me (I’m 5'6) and just gigantic. Last year we had a…

If Ikea makes furniture that isn’t sturdy enough for a 30 pound child to mess with, then the company is the one to blame. It’s not like you can watch them like a hawk all day every day. I feel like the scariest stage for (for me, a non parent surrounded by kids) is when they’re able to walk, but they can’t yet talk.…

I’m not going to lie, almost every time someone tells me they’re from Texas, I think “Yeah, Robbie would be from Texas.” It’s Texas-dar, and it almost never fails. Do Texans even really have an accent? I’ve only met one woman with an accent and I know it wasn’t exaggerated because it sounded basically the same while…

I’m probably way off on this, but I thought Frankenstein’s creation was just trying to love and be loved in a world that treated him like he had leprosy, ebola, and some sort of superbug that would kill anyone who looked in his direction.

I’ll admit my secret shame and say that I wash my hair two or three times a week, and three times is just excessive for me. If I go to a hair salon, I refuse to work out for that week because it would be a waste of $80. I wear my hair natural almost 100% of the time and my hair just gets dry instead of greasy as time…

They don’t naturally have these diseases, they don’t naturally give a fuck about premature skin aging, or which variation of plum lipstick makes their lips look more luscious. Why not test on humans instead of doing something so incredibly unnatural?

I’d say the ends really don’t justify the means. I live with schizophrenia, and I have an extremely strong family history of schizophrenia and early onset alzheimer’s. I was dead set on dedicating my life to curing Alzheimer’s when I was a very little kid because my first and clearest memories are of my grandmother at…

After my mom’s really bad hiking accident (where she almost lost her foot and had to have 5 surgeries), they started sending her big ass bottles of the harder opiates in the mail every two weeks. These things were huge and I kept thinking they were just trying to get her addicted because there was no way she could…
