yeah it kind of happens to me (on a much smaller scale, and almost entirely because i don’t take precautionary measures to mitigate the effects) because i’m prescribed adderall and it really suppresses my appetite

agreeeee plus CNN is run by that craven fuckhead Jeff Zucker, who wants nothing more than to put on a good show. Jeffrey Lord and that other smarmy ex-politician get buckets of money from the network and their only role is to derail the conversation and make people yell at them - by design! it’s infuriating,…

so i’ve had most of a bottle of wine and didn’t read down the rest of this thread, but this comment is the closest i’ve ever come to seeing my own experiences with religion & faith written down in words.

a dowry, by definition, is given from the bride and/or her family to the groom and/or his family or is property/assets/money that the bride brings into the marriage.

i’m at work and therefore can’t browse YouTube for the clip, but there’s an Australian morning show hosted by one man and one woman and one morning the guy says “today marks the 365th day in a row i’ve worn the exact same suit and no one has noticed”

oh absolutely. those posts were taken down but just the fact that he put them up in the first place is fucked up.

and, as we’ve seen play out time and time again, if he did put his hands on her and she reported it, there’s a not-small number of people who will NEVER EVER believe her because he “has money” (even though he doesn’t really, compared to his sisters/mom) and “she’s making it up”

i dunno - there are plenty of white 16-27 year old boys who are outwardly “sick of PC bullshit” and are willing to do/say things in order to “stick it to the whiny feminists/liberals/protestors/safe-space pussies”

in addition to your first point - THIS ISN’T EVEN FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE. he is essentially bringing this up out of nowhere! and saying that because they were at Mar-a-Lago in JANUARY means they can’t be talking shit about him now is SO laughable.

i haven’t read all the way down this thread, so apologies if it’s mentioned later, but - check out the Jesuits. i know they’re a branch of Catholicism, but i was raised Catholic and went through the whole rigamarole and after i got confirmed i was truly ready to never have to step foot in a church again except for…

YOLKO ONO

there’s a reason 90% of the impact of this bill won’t be felt until 2019 - so they can 1) continue to fuck the crumbling remains of the ACA into the oblivion of their own making, thus allowing for “look how awful Obamacare is, ours is better” campaign speeches in 2018; and 2) so that once the bad shit does start…

nope. Mitch McConnell gets on television and lies to the face of the American people already. they’re out here saying this is a transparent process.

i still think 80-94 is way too big of a group. people graduating high school in 1998 grew up in a fundamentally different world than people who graduated in like 2006 and that was completely different from the kids graduating in 2011. people born in 1994 just graduated from college in May.

i think the designations for generations definitely should be shorter - people who graduated college in 2005 had such a different childhood/adolescence than people who graduated in 2015, it’s almost absurd to continue to lump them together in one generational group

YUP i was in 3rd grade and i was in school in Greenwich, where everyone had at least one parent working in Manhattan. so obviously i have specific memories of the day but not in any real meaningful way - like, they stopped teaching us after 9am and my friend’s mom took me home, but i didn’t go to any of my parents’…

i think the Millennial generation really needs to be divided in half - “old Millennials” were in 8th grade or older for 9/11 and “young Millennials” are the next ~8ish years after that. basically - when did you get Facebook? college? Old Millennial. high school? Young Millennial.

yes to all of this. plus the way benefits are currently distributed in this country is incredibly inefficient and does not allow for much, if any, flexibility when it comes to purchasing things a household needs, such as diapers or toilet paper or other non-food items

ohhh my god peach Fruit on the Bottom was one of the defining foods of my childhood
