First off, I’ve seen it. It was pretty good. So was the book. But they are no substitute for reading hundreds of Pooling & Servicing Agreements, which are the governing documents for those toxic mortgage bonds they described in that movie and pouring over gigabytes of raw performance data on the trillion plus dollars…

When a company pays a $5 billion fine for doing something that’s illegal, yeah, I think we can bring charges against the executives.

Guys imagine if HRC had said something about fucking subway tokens.

I fully believe in smuggling illicit alcohol to the elderly.

Surely you can smuggle some in? The nursing home my mom used to volunteer at had this bullshit no booze policy, and all one of the ladies (in her 90s, no family around) there wanted for Christmas was a nice bottle of red wine. You can bet we made that happen for her.

While this isn’t for me, the less-snarky aspect is that it is encouraging community in a society that is ever-more less-communal. As a young adult after college I moved to the other side of the country, lived alone, and had no community. This is one positive side of housing like this.

Excuse me. It’s a contact lens.

hahaha! like, is this a joke? I DON’T WANT WATER AS MY DESSERT!! I can eat brown sugar right out of the box thankyouverymuch.

We all eat girl. bwahaha. ;) ;)

Quality journalism. Samoyeds are like if cotton balls came to life and just wanted to snuggle everyone.

Narcissism for the win this time? Whatever works. Glad to hear the young lady is doing well.

Yeah, she’s a well-adjusted adult now. It took a lot of effort on the part of family and friends to get her out of there - she technically wasn’t in enough “danger” to be removed by the state because except for that police call, she played the perfect parent in front of social services. She was finally convinced to…

Holy shit. Thank you for your final sentence, otherwise I’d have been haunted by this all day. :(

She most likely had the pictures done so she’d continue to get sympathy from the outside world. I doubt she cares very much about actually losing her child. I knew a mother like this. She had a personality disorder or two and everything was about her own needs, not the child’s. If her four year old threw a perfectly…

The reason was that photography was really rare and expensive back then, so most people only hired photographers for special occasions, like weddings. So if a kid died young, it was entirely probable that the parents had never taken a photo of their kid when he was alive, so this was their last chance to get a photo…

My dad was in the military, so I grew up around military people, and there are certain people in or married to someone in the service, that are pretty much obsessed with getting everything they can get from that connection and milking it for all it’s worth. Not just tangible stuff either, but sympathy and attention.…

Always seeking an opportunity to post this.

oops. We’ll miss ya.

“I regret that I’m attached to a situation that is so evil, and is so vile,” he told Fox News.

And she put up a GoFundMe for her funeral... stating she was a single mother that couldn’t pay for the funeral. Despite being an active duty soldier (Service Group Life Insurance policy for dependents & kids-from her or the child’s father) & separated from her husband..
