It’s kind of a chicken and egg scenario: would these people always suck, or is it the fact that they were born into immeasurable wealth that makes them suck?

To be fair, for St. Patrick’s Day they hand out potato blight fungus and refuse to serve food to their patrons while feeding the patrons of other restaurants.

Wisdom is relevant-being unnecessarily cynical isn’t. I’m very very concerned about the resurgence of acceptable racism in politics. I’m black. I live in America. Our racist candidate won. Do not try to tell me that I don’t think actively countering this crap is important or relevant.

There’s no need to be patronizing. It’s concerning that she got any of the vote but I’m wholly unsurprised. White people are quite reliably racist.

Say it! I so badly want to understand this urge to immediately shit on anything good.

And they didn’t even have to write an essay about how her songs influenced them in any way.

I’m pretty sure whatever reason he’s wearing glasses for is considered a pre-existing condition.

Ten bucks says being a POW counts as a pre-existing condition.

Seriously, stay angry. It’s the best emotion to have right now. You can focus that shit like a goddamn laser of justice.

“We at United Health Care have determined that 100% of those who have been deceased were previously living. As such, we have determined existence as a pre-existing condition and will thus not cover any treatments for maladies which are a direct result of existing.”

You underestimate the signifcance of white sheets to the right.

I know it’s not the case, but I feel like most people should realize that a second-hand minivan is THE WORST idea there is.

I’m to the point now where I get nervous at the thought of even going to bed because I’m so afraid I won’t sleep. Then when you don’t sleep, because the chemicals in…

I am the same way but I have learned that anxiety is normal. Even the anxiety described in the post, it is normal because that’s her experience. That is her default setting. I think the normalization of anxiety is absolutely necessary because it opens up a dialogue about how to manage anxiety.

Yeah, it’s really sad that this isn’t the biggest deal in any of this, anymore, but it really isn’t.

True. Both my parents, a sister, a close friend, a college pal, and two close co-workers died while I was in my forties. “Memorializing” them was a balancing act between reconciling my grief, saying diplomatic sentiments (especially for the more flawed among them) and trying not to reflect too much on my own…

And they’re the same ones who bitch about how shitty their kid’s military pay is, or how long they have to wait for VA care. So they vote for whoever says the phrase “increased military spending”, and don’t understand that this spending is going directly into the pockets of military contractors instead of the troops…
