Thank you, I came here to say the same thing.

Honestly, I’m so sick of political labels of all stripes...what the hell even is a “liberal,” anymore, other than anything and everything that Republicans hate? Are you still a liberal if you voted for Hillary Clinton but refuse to donate money to homeless people because “bootstraps”?

Yeah, I know China is heavily involved there, too...I’ve also heard loads of stories from Black Africans about racism and disenfranchisement from those same developers. So I guess saying “fuck the West” doesn’t quite cover it enough...it should be: “Fuck everyone who feels like Africa should be their…

I really struggle with my position re: U.S. policy on Africa. Our actions, official or not, are never going to be in Africa’s best interests; that’s not how we operate. So I hem and haw between thinking, “Leave Africa the fuck alone — it’s not your dumping ground or your gold mine” and “It’s your fault these countries…

I wish I could have it both ways — an office job that lets me telecommute a few days a week. I don’t like chitchat and I can go whole days without talking to any of my co-workers because my job is so independent, but at the same time, I get easily distracted if I’m not in a structured environment. Telecommuting…

Right, and since a lot of people who work from home are freelance or contract workers, I don’t see how you could justify spending that much money when your income fluctuates so much from month to month. I wonder if these people have ever tried just going to the library? You can usually reserve conference rooms for…

Have you ever heard any of these parents actually claim that names like “DaShawn” are meant to sound African? I haven’t.

Stay away from vanity presses.

Life is such unfair bullshit.

The other was curiosity over how that loud mouth woman in Walmart or that wheelchair-bound man who reminded me of Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump managed to hurl racial epithets and other strains of abusive language without catching a fade.

I’m at the point where, once a month, I type in “Final Fantasy VII” and “Kingdom Hearts III” and just laugh and laugh at all the search results.

Well, fuck. :( At-will employee in a right-to-work state, reporting for misery.

Yeah, I have a lot of chronic health issues, unfortunately... prescription co-pays alone were $800 last year. I see a therapist at least twice a month, so that’s another $800. I get one free annual check-up, but if I have any random issues before I’m due for one, I have to pay up. Found out I have pre-diabetes last…

Have the same question. I’m still under 26 and on my parents’ plan so I don’t pay premiums; just co-pays. Even that is tearing a huge hole in my budget, though. I had about $4,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses last year, which apparently is unusually for twenty-somethings?

It’s called “The Gray Lady” for a reason.

Google “gaslighting” and then crawl back into the hole you came from.

I wasn’t traumatized by any means, but just the fact that I had to pause and think of the likely repercussions of calling him out, even though I had every right to...it’s a lot. I laugh at nervous white people, but I still try to stay far away from them.

It took a 5-second Google search to confirm that while bidets in public bathrooms are far from universal, they do exist. But I’m glad you were able to use your false sense of superiority to improve this conversation and my work day! Au revoir!

You have a comic book character as your avatar, Jeff.

Fair enough.
