went all the way to an In-N-Out only to do an exercise and eat a fruit.

If disliking overly cheeseball earnest crap like this makes me an aggressive posturing hipster, then I welcome that description.

People who complain about having to work at home baffle me. I do both home and in the office, so I can constantly do the comparison. And I can flat out tell you that unless you’re one of those OCD people that sees no purpose in life other than working (you know the same people who don’t take vacations because they…

Grief is the one part of life where experience doesn’t really prepare you for when it hits. Every loss is a different wound. They won’t all land in the same place or feel the same way to you, but all of them will get duller with time.

Maybe he was angry because people wouldn’t stop, collaborate, and listen.

It seems every year, airlines shrink the amount of legume I get on an airplane.

I hate him.

literally just read one where the author included what she cooked and ate for breakfast before something that’s actually relevant happens. XD 

THIS was bizarrely prevalent, but my candidates went above and beyond! I saw so many cover letters that had 2 paragraphs about their wife and kids and how they all love hiking.

For next year I propose a word limit. 

Fine to disagree with her, but to call someone who wrote seven volumes of books on how to combat authoritarianism, a single working mother who became a billionaire and then used her money to tackle homelessness, promote education and family health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars (closing in on half a…

I love that Tucker’s serious face is the human equivalent of a dog discovering that you did not in fact, throw that ball.

Some of my favorites for praising kids in general are:

If you have to check their phone for apps like this, you’ve already got a much bigger problem. Instead of snooping and interrogating, try listening and having a real discussion of the issues.

My daughter, age 9, is tough. She’s funny, smart, and a total delight. She is also very intense, argumentative, doesn’t suffer fools (adult fools), and a collector of wrongs. She goes to the barber to get her haircut because the side of her head is shaved, and she thinks the barbershop is way cool.

Agreed. I also don’t like how the self care movement seems to encourage flaky and/or lazy behavior. Like yes of course, if you’re feeling depressed and overwhelmed and can’t make it to a social outing, don’t go. But don’t cancel on your friends 15 minutes before an event because “self care,” aka you’re hungover and…

Isn’t the self care the doing the laundry and making the dinner for oneself? 

I agree. I am all about self care, but when did people get so delicate and how do they survive? I also think adulting is stupid. I sort of get the concept if relates to that great/accomplished feeling after just diving in agetting shit done. I feel that way. Like when I dread paying bills or cleaning or whatever and I…
