right, I am sorta confused about their use of "depressed" here (just going off the the article, haven't read the study). I'd be very interested to read more studies about how mood swings—not clinical depression since it seems obvious that would be debilitating— affects salary. and thanks for the kind thoughts :)…

I didn't! that is hilariously good to know, and ensures i'll be keeping this name forever.

My mom always made a big effort to make her handwriting shaky and weird, ("Santa's handwriting is bad because he's shivering/wearing mittens") and then she said we needed to help Santa because he's very busy. actually, my mom basically never stopped believing in him as an amorphous Spirit of Christmas guy, and would…

so let me guess, you're constantly surprised/offended by The Onion, right?

i think by "dissatisfaction and unhappiness with the status quo" you really mean "ambition". some people are super ambitious and can't rest on their laurels even when they get to a place financially and emotionally, etc, that they are happy in. These people are achievers. The article, on the other hand, seems to be…

same for me! and he was my mom's (totally hippie feminist) favorite director...i'm betting she didn't know either :/

unfortunately I just routinely lose stuff/leave it behind, hook up or no. Usually I don't actually WANT to call a one night stand to get it back, which is how I've lost: a phone, a couple t-shirts/bras/panties, a hoodie, and my favorite pair of flip-flops (thankfully the guy also lived in my building so no long…

wait wait wait i really get to be the one to post this?! yeeeessssss Neil Gaiman's wife is a boss (who loves her lady parts)

SORRY NEW HERE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO EDIT: ** "Western mainstream culture" fixed it

its definitely not only offensive when a white person does it. i know plenty of black bigots (in my family, personally) with this attitude that just because they went through segregation in the south they can be assholes to white people, latino/as and gay people. its not ok for anyone, that's why its important to…

this article was clearly not for you. why don't you go and comment on the article about sober people having whatever it is you call fun? (see also: jello molds, milquetoast )

i would totally platonically lick the face of the guy with the gloves.

to everyone who is saying this is okay because native american war bonnets are a "part of the cultural melting pot", and nobody should be overly touchy about this: can we please, just for a second, remember the genocide? we destroyed much of the very land, animals and culture that are their church and history (their…

:D

for a long time i thought all rich kids were crazy/destructive assholes because they knew this deep down, but felt so weighed down by 'the family name' bullshit that they acted out as a way of separating themselves from that.

this is great for women who wait until they feel responsible enough and are in a good place to have kids. but just as a different side of the story: i am the youngest of 3 (with an average of 6 years difference between each of us) of parents who started in their 30's, and it is rough when your parents, (and…

you're the greatest.

everybody else has gotten the good points already, so i'll just say this: you sound like a douche.

skip to around 11 min if you don't want to listen to the whole speech (although, for what its worth, she kills it through the entire thing)

oh wow, thank you. you have just prompted a great wikipedia wormhole
