Because people are encouraged to take on more credit so they can raise their score. The rise of easy credit is a HUGE part of the lack of rise in real wages over the past 40 years. Credit companies loan us money so we don’t need to get raises, then they make money off of us purchasing everyday items. Also the means of…

True. When my friends complain about their husbands, I assume every man goes from knowing how to operate a dishwasher (premarital) to not knowing how to operate a dishwasher (post marriage). Then I come here, and get more of the same.

I love how someone in Kensington tried to brief the media to get some easy PR for Workshy and still somehow managed to fuck it up.

Good answer to a “gotcha” question. ANYONE asked a similar question is risking a minefield of responses that can be twisted or misinterpreted. He artfully deferred the question (that had nothing to do with him or his own actions!) with a nothing answer that took no sides.

I appreciate the sarcasm (no, truly, I enjoy good sarcasm), but that wasn’t my point. My point is that the big boards - Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, fill in your own name, are all so big and so lacking in editorial oversight despite what their owners say that I’ve gotten to the point where I figure any argument more…

Honestly, it’s probably far more likely going to be a shady evangelical donor having found and taken advantage of a group of first year uni kids who are very new to this whole “activism” thing and don’t know what they’re actually on about.

Various Mormon anti-abortion groups have latched onto “abortion disproportionately impacts POCs therefore it is racist violence” over the years. It’s a “foot in the door.”

the mortality rate of this virus was kinda perfect for wreaking the most damage in our current political situation—a little deadlier like Ebola and everyone would be triple-masking, getting multiple vaccinations, etc. A little weaker and it would probably be an afterthought even though people would still be dying (but…

The attorneys’ statement mentions that the parents own multiple businesses in the area, and that he has aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. Sounds like probably a few generations of small-town lifers.

To be fair, it’s kind of like referring to your cousins as “cous” rather than “cuz” in text. The few times I’ve done it, the response has been confusion.

She’s absolutely irredeemable, but I will give her some points for the literary flourish in describing Kushner as “Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit.” I audibly guffawed when I read that.

Except we and herself know this is completely untrue because others already have “rebranded” to become delightful pop culture figures. Sean Spicer, one of the first rats to transition, has a book, media commentator career, was a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, has several high profile cameos in the film/TV…

The fact that Jeffrey Epstein was super into evolutionary psychology should tell you everything you need to know. 

I have always contended that evo psych was invented by middle-aged college professors to justify being predatory towards barely legal coeds.

I’m not changing for anyone. The end. There’s a reputable study out there somewhere that says men’s quality of life and life expectancy go up when they are married while women’s go down.

The internet being what it is, I’m confident there’s significant overlap. The temptation for both communities to lurk and troll each other just seems way too great.

Sounds like one of those things that started out as parody/satirization of something shitty (“red pill” culture and it’s absurd misogyny), that started attracting people who bought into it unironically, and then eventually turned into the very thing it was mocking in the first place.

This honestly sounds like the fever dream of the MRA world, and I’d be curious to know what percentage of the activity actually IS those guys LARP-ing as the kind of evil shrew bitch they imagine they’re “up against”.

Catholics are only “Christian” to many Protestants and Baptists when it suits them, the rest of the time they are just those “Pope worshiping Papists on the short bus to Hell”.

‘The Pope? Sounds like some kinda Papist to me, better kill that guy just in case he’s*gasp* Catholic.’
