It’s kind of weird how this article is about how poor people are being priced out of an essential need like clothing and all the comments are people who don’t care because it’s a fun hobby and they don’t think said poor people deserve nice things. I have no doubt the same folks type their fingers raw about how…

It’s more like the take a penny tray- it's there for anyone who needs it, but you aren't supposed to use it to supplement your payment. But sure, go to the extreme to make yourself feel better for abusing the system. 

I’m questioning your reading comprehension at this point, as you’re continually pulling arguments that have no basis in any point that anyone is making.

1) Given the issues being presented in the article, no there isn’t “plenty of stuff left over”. That is, quite literally, what the article is about.

This is a real pain point in my household. My partner is going back to teaching and took a substantial pay cut to do so. Using the local thrift stores to rebuild her wardrobe, since her tech job didn’t require anything but jeans and tees, is a challenge in our city. Resellers haunt the local Goodwills and snatch up…

No one has made an argument against shopping at thrift stores for personal use, and so your comment still doesn’t make sense. The only issue being discussed is reselling for a profit, and so if you aren’t doing that then I’m not sure what issue you have with my statement.

I NEVER donate to Salvation Army. I don’t shop their either, which isn’t a difficult choice because our local one is dirty and has crap stuff.

Yes to the last part. Re-sellers usually stake out shops to grab the nicer stuff, like name brands or the item is in better condition, and then sell it for 10x is worth. The people who deserve nice things but can’t afford them, or who maybe would like to dress their kids in something not off-brand AND a resell item,…

At least in the Denver area, all the good (name brands with low wear) stuff is snatched up by resellers very quickly. It’s rare to find anything good, mostly just rack after rack of crap nobody wants.

Nah, we know her answer, the audience knows her answer, and Drew is not qualified to properly refute whatever bullshit she would have spewed. The woman feels no shame and it would have just provided a platform for whatever conspiracy theory about COVID vaccines she decided to latch on to (if I had to guess, either the…

I’m at a full month. Like I want the drug company to reimburse me for how many tampons I had to buy. I’m getting my second shot tomorrow and I’m afraid my period is just going to like restart. 

So....you point out that they appeared out of the woodwork, with a weirdly polished image and social media presence, making carefully focus-grouped “edgy” music that is neither novel nor particularly edgy....

“Imagine finding out to the status of your relationship through a tabloid,” Max said on Instagram Saturday morning. ‘While [you’re] in the middle of filming a biopic movie about a pastor in a Christian church whose intention of the film is to help people. God bless.”

I already answered the stats question in another comment. It’s not hard to understand given what she just said about McPhee. If you’re reducing someone to their income, age, race and gender to make assumptions about their politics as she had just done about a rich millennial white woman, Reiner ticks a lot of…

In addition to what other commenters have said about Rob Reiner’s progressive credentials, just a week ago, he and the surviving cast of The Princess Bride (minus Fred Savage and Malcolm Storry) livestreamed a table read of the screenplay (plus a Q&A after) to raise funds for Wisconsin Democrats. So that tweet isn’t…

If you didn’t know anything about Rob Reiner, you could have at least taken 30 seconds to Google him. He’s been a highly vocal (and financial) advocate for civil rights for 50 years. He helped start the American Foundation for Equal Rights. He’s repeatedly bankrolled challenges to Right-wing legal attacks on women,…

If this had been mentioned as one of those links at the bottom of a Dirt Bag post then fine, I don’t think it would have seemed that weird.

Nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to attack Tiegen with the hope that she will respond and make you famous. And you’re jeopardizing another woman’s career in the process? This poor writer has been through enough—I read the Business Insider article about her and other BIPOC staff’s mistreatment at Bon Appetit.…

oh no, someone who wrote a celebrity puff piece got offered a more secure job during an uncertain time. Truly, will journalistic ethics ever recover?

Joan’s efforts to reach the subject would involve sending off a random emailto marieclaire@gmail.com she doesn’t expect to reach the subject, but then making sure to note her efforts to reach them as part of the story, because in journalism it’s the minimal effort that counts.
