Yessss, I used to work next door to a deli that made bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on Kaiser rolls and it was amazing.

Put a bit of cream cheese on it as well and that’s my favorite breakfast ever.

My husband sees a lot of the opposite as well - he works at a luxury car dealership and he’s amazed at how many people come by to buy a brand new ~$100k car but can’t afford to tack on the extended warranty because it would raise their payments $15/month. The first time that car needs new tires they’re going to be SOL.

My point was that it was amusing to me that you’re being dismissive of people as “slacktivists” because they aren’t actively solving the problems they’re discussing, as you yourself repeatedly say you don’t have any solutions.

Slacktivists point out the problem and do nothing. Activists point out the problem, look for solutions and carry them out.

Plus, when you have family members who are relying on you for support - parents who you know won’t be able to support themselves once they become elderly - you have to demand more money because you have more people relying on that income.

But don’t you understand that the Internet has made everyone an expert in photoshop?

God yes. “If what you described was rape, and I’m not a rapist, so you have a ridiculous concept of rape!”

“She filed charges and the police came to his house and arrested him on only her word. The only reason he didn’t go to prison is because she admitted she made it all up. It totally ruined his life.”

I do most of my shopping at thrift stores.

It is this narrative that citizens — both police and the citizens who live in their jurisdictions — must be saints and the police sinners or vice versa that does us all a disservice. It is one of the reasons there is an us-vs-them mentality on both sides.

It’s like a Bingo card - “S/he reached for my gun.” ‘S/he reached for an object I thought could have been a gun.””I feared for my life.”

I love that she’s explaining to him his job as a politician and he’s getting uncomfortable/defensive... when that’s exactly what he was doing to reporters.

Well I haven’t seen that to the extent that you clearly have, but I’ll take your word for it.

I get that, and I was actually speaking more generally. You made the statement that complaining about clothing options for skinny women is unwelcome here, and I was countering that it’s only unwelcome when it’s expressly on a post about the lack of plus-size options in the market.

Look for tunic tops in general! Or the style (I don’t know what it is) where the shirt itself is all flowy and then and the bottom there’s a stretchy-ish band - this is a kind of example:

It’s not that “anyone with body that is perceived as “more ideal” is not allowed to express the difficulties with their body.” It’s that no clothing lines have come out and said they’re not going to make clothes for skinny people because they think it would be bad for the image for them to be wearing the logo (the way…

Piggybacking off your comment here:

OK, I’ll bite: Since I did say “many,” how does the existence of some critics saying otherwise make my statement “factually incorrect?” All you demonstrated was that there were some people making other criticisms than the one I said that some people made, which I allowed for in my original statement.

I said this in a standalone comment but I’m grey so no one will likely see it:
