I appreciate that it takes a fair amount of gumption to start and maintain a business but you HAVE TO treat your staff and vendors and customers respectfully or shit will just never really work out for you. Not that the shine was sparkling all that hard on these businesses that resell cheaply made fast fashion at…

It looks like it’s a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran church, which I believe is the same ultra-conservative branch of the Lutheran church Michelle Bachman belongs too. Obviously these folks aren’t Lake Wobegon material...

Brief useful bit of additional information, this is WELs. They’re the extreme right of Lutheranism (i.e., I grew up thinking Missouri Synod, the “normal” right, were liberal). They also have issues with women being in any sort of authority over men. This is hearsay, but after I left I learned there was an ongoing…

Yes, and places like these can be a HUGE problem, since they drastically impact rents and make bad housing situations worse.

Nice, I’ll have to check that out!

Right? This is the thing: I just don’t need to see it any more. It’s become a sort of bullshit shorthand for “serious” treatment of female characters. You want to show me what a great auteur you are? Show me the relationships between your (named female) characters. Show me a sisterhood, or a mother-daughter…

She’s standing next to Caitroina Balfe, star of Outlander, one of the rapiest book series and shows ever conceived.

I spoke about this to my friends last year. There are way too many of us out here who have been sexually assaulted. We don’t need to constantly see it in movies and shows. We get it. We fucking get it.

It’s an extremely tired trope. I’m also so sick of seeing it everywhere. Also included in tired female tropes ‘not being able to have babies'

There’s an old joke about it...

Infuriating. My tiny corner shows that 40% of my passengers proactively ask to tip in the app.. and then, of those, 20% give cash. Fuck.

THE NO TIP THING. WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT??

One must have a fingerprint on file, in Cali where I live, to drive one’s child on school field trips. Uber/Lyft are full of shit saying it is an undue burden on drivers. What is an undue burden on drivers, is the lack of benies, no pay while waiting, no tip in app (Uber), high phone, gas, oil, tire charges (some…

The fact that we went from the Wright Brothers to WWI fighter planes in a freaking decade will never cease to blow my mind.

It’s alway best to tell people you are 10 years older than you actually are. I’m really good lookng for my mid 30s

Semi-related: you know you’re getting old when you hear on NPR that it’s Dennis Rodman’s birthday today and he’s FIFTY MOTHERFUCKING FIVE years old. 55!

Are you around Orlando’s age? Because I am and completely share your thoughts, but held the same views as the people who are arguing with you when I was Selena’s age.
Maybe we (everybody) feel super grown up and adult when we’re in our twenties, but once we’re near forties, see how naïve or inexperienced we were?…

I didn’t know about those other relationships. But yeah, a 39 year old dating a 23 year old is gross in my opinion. Regardless of the genders. 23 year olds are not children, but they are less experienced at life, less independent, and less self-possessed. They’re still figuring out their values. A 39 year old knows…

Can I think it’s gross if I also found the other examples you used gross too? I am skeeved by large age gaps in relationships until everyone is over 40 and has had a chance to live in their skin a while.

Both ladies can do better, and I’m not a stan. My 13 yo self would hate current me for disavowing Legolas like this.
