No matter how you spin, the move to freelance/ temp/ contract work is not good for sustainable economy. The freedom one gets from a flexible schedule is negated by the lack of economic stability you experience by having to constantly look for new contracts. I worked for 5 years as a freelancer and while there were…

Why is there so much hate about Kit's comment? How do we know that he only likes thin girls that eat? Projection much?

Or maybe he likes girls that like food. Food is a big turn-on for many people and it is definitely possible that he likes curvy girls, big girls, AND skinny girls that aren't afraid of food.

Colors are not as important when the construction and fit are on point. The clothes are well made and the details are what makes her wardrobe so amazing. Flair would be inappropriate for her character.

My mom actually told me she was happy that guys avoided me during that age as well. She knew I would not have kept my heads in the books and been the little nerd I was. Looking back, I can see she was so right

Could be the cold. The Danes get crazy in the winter due to the lack of sun. But the sun has come and it's still cold as fuck. Hopefully, people will calm as the temperatures raise. Hopefully

I found a cream and grey shearling coat that I am convinced was a made for a child (far too short in it's proportions to be for an adult Scandinavian) for $20 in a thrift store. It was literally waiting for me outside the shop and I am so happy I listened to the little voice that said "take this street instead of your…

I agree with NiceHopping. If you are picking a specific person, then it's cool (as long as no face paint is used). But dressing up as a generic person of color is not since it will most certainly use generic stereotypes to make the costume convincing. As in, pretending to be a black girl will often cause you to…

Thank you!

The "can" part is debatable since the app allows them to do so, but women still aren't welcomed in that community. I can't speak about them as I do not know their motivation. But I used privilege because the person who is a male pretty much said that he should be welcomed into a women's only space because he liked…

as a straight bitch, I co-sign this statement

You seem nice, so I hope people don't jump down your throat for this. But your attitude (unknowingly on your part) reeks of male privilege. I know that word is overused, but it is totally appropriate in this case.

I read the part about her begging for stranger's leftovers with my mouth agape. As a former poor, currently less poor person, I want to punch her in her fucking kidney >:(

If this is something that you really want to do AND can create a feasible plan to support yourself past grad school, then do it. I'm in my early 30's and recently finished a grad program in Scandinavia. I planned it out for the better part of a year and found full funding for my degree.

I think a large part of it is because you have a good job and a stable home. With those things secure, you're free to choose to enjoy life instead of worrying about making ends meet and keeping a roof over your head, which can lead to worrying about marriage and being unprepared for raising a family

I see that a number of people have responded so there will be some overlap in my comment. I had two friends that did the same thing and it made me feel the same way you described. I would get so upset with each passing tardy moment that by the time they arrived, I was in a foul mood that I had to get past in order to…

I too found it hard to eat well. And then i moved to Scandinavia where they have an opposite system which makes eating bad really expensive. So I eat better because I am too poor to buy junk food. E.g., I wanted some pre-made "thai" food in a box that is about $5. But I didn't really want to spend so much and the…

Maybe I can provide an intelligent response.

Hey guys, I'm new around these parts so please forgive my ignorance. But can someone please explain how a machine that only runs internet-dependent programs is a good thing. I honestly cannot understand the logic. Someone mentioned additional hardware that would make such programs accessible, but shouldn't that be the…

I had a similar experience with Brian Dennehy in Desire Under the Elms. When he came on stage, he commanded attention. During one particularly boring scene between his castmates, I started to zone out. Then he came on stage. My seat was pretty close and when he spoke, he looked directly at me! I actually stopped…
