Yeah, I get it: he's trying to play the shining white knight.
"...this one dude I know who told my friend he found her special-needs child 'depressing'"
I'm going to whip out my professional title as Market Research and Consumer Insight Manager for a large consumer products manufacturer here and take issue with "85% of shoppers place color as a primary reason for why they buy a particular product."
They actually are all you. Your personality fractured way back in college so you could work another 6 part time jobs each.
I see this attitude so often on here. "I made smart choices and did x/y/z right so clearly these other people are unmotivated moochers/morons/losers." I graduated a long time ago, but still remember the depressing sinking of the soul that followed college as I tried to find a decent McJob with the expensive degree…
I make a lot of money, and my wife makes a fair amount and will make much more in the near future. And I sometimes sit here and go, "how the hell do people afford to get by around here?" I'm not complaining personally, as our finances are solid and I have no real financial concerns. I'm just amazed that people can…
Well I'm one of those so-called "millenials" and I'll have you know through this not-so-subtle humblebrag that I graduated debt-free with a 10.0 GPA and a $90,000 job offer.

As someone who is a fantastic consumer and is well aware how much she dicked over her own finances via spending, I get where you are coming from.
Absolutely a boy's club, especially in news. It always amazed me how j-school grads and wannabe journalists (in my home country, at least) were overwhelmingly women, and yet men occupied the top positions at almost every job I worked. I'm seeing it now; my younger brother is being flooded with job offers as a new grad…
hey, Vaizey, why don't you ask Egypt how they feel about all the Ancient Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum?
I love the idea of the British government freaking out at the thought of their national treasures leaving the country, when the British Museum has refused to return so many to other countries.
This is %100 a skinny dudes only issue. Larger men cannot get away with rolling at all. Their options are cargo shorts, cargo short, or cargo shorts. The kind of dude who would ever even think about rolling up their jeans is the kind of dude who can fit in to any kind of fashion available to men.
Are you on a yacht -> yes-> Roll
Are you on a yacht-> no-> you look like douche
We have Ben Franklin, but we poors don't get to see him too often.
