It seems like Kate’s dress might have been “off the rack” and that there was no agreement in place before the boom hit.

Short version, according to the article, was:

If that is the case then why don’t more men do it? Why don’t more people just change their names without getting married?

Huh? What’s “fucked up if true”? That I don’t let people sleep on my couch? Fuck that. People are gross and oily and smelly and it has taken me too goddamn long to get sober, buy nice things and build myself a cozy place to call home. Want a good night’s sleep? Go the fuck home.

Oh my god, I love you, fellow Gen-Xer.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m part of a women’s group and I’ve been fighting about trigger warnings for a year now. It’s exhausting. How can I know that popcorn triggers you? HOW CAN I KNOW THIS?

I’m nearly 40. A 20 year old is a youth. I’m not clutching my pearls when I think that a content note on a post about makeup is fucking dumb. I actually don’t think younger people are that open minded for the reason you stated- you haven’t had enough life experience. As I grew up and grew older, I got a lot more open…

Let me just skip to the comments: Stock-bros say: “you don’t know anything about investing” “don’t tax me bro” “everything is fine just the way it is and always will be” “billionaires create jobs, U MAD?” - did I miss anything?

The problem is they are terrible at it. I dunno man, they seem a lot more thin-skinned than us Gen-Xers. Every fucking thing is a slight or trigger. Do we really need “CW” on posts about shopping for makeup?

I feel the same way about the “changing the last name” discussions that go on around here. Keep your name, change your name- do whatever the fuck you want- but stop claiming that the reason you chose to take on someone else’s name is feminist because “I have no attachment to my family name” or “I want the whole family…

I’m personally sick of cutesy, swallow, self-centered feminism. And I’m really sick of reactionary feminism that is hysterical over dumb things (i.e. I just watched a bunch of women screaming at a Twitter ad about how binge drinking affects women’s health and they called it victim blaming. Um, they aren’t talking…

Yep. I have been “poor” but I still realize that it has been a very privileged version of “poor”. Poor as in, rice is all we are getting to eat for 3 days until paycheck, and having utilities shut down. But I’ve never been homeless or actually gone hungry. Actually poor people, not just temporarily facing a hardship…

This would be confirmed if Kate McKinnon ever plays both of them in the same episode of SNL.

I may hate Justin Bieber, but he is still better than Donald Trump.

He’s Canadian, thus equally unqualified to be President.

It really hit me when we had to do class projects in 3rd grade and I did mine on the Titanic because the movie had just come out so it was easy to obtain magazines and information about it. I made a replica Titanic out of a empty plastic cat food container because that’s all there was around my house. At the time I…

yes it’s not so ‘strange’ when you don’t have it :)

Ha! I was just going to say, the only people who say “money is strange” are out of touch rich people.

When I had to lie to my mother about how hungry I was because there wasn’t enough food for the both of us.

Were you actually poor, or just not “really rich”?

Doesn’t really sound like a “money is strange” situation. Sounds more like a “you grew up quite rich, and around really rich people” situation.
