I tried to watch GWTW for the first time last year and just.could.not.do.it

I guess we can agree to disagree. Having lived in Europe for the last almost 10 years, my experience has been that Bavaria, compared to the US and Scandinavia, is still very traditional in expected women’s roles. Politics aside, the culture is still one that values the woman as a support to a man, not as an autonomous…

My mom and I visited Bavaria and she said it reminds her of the 50's. Nice people, but women definitely have a clearly defined role and it’s not exactly equal to men. For example, a terrible joke I heard from a Bavarian man:

Yes about the loose clothes and baggy bras! I didn’t realize how much I lost until my trainer pointed out that I kept pulling up my leggings because they were too big. And then I tried on my favorite bra and it was so loose. I am happy that I’m down a few sizes, a little annoyed that I have to replace so many things.…

Not sure if anyone has said this already (I haven’t looked through the entire thread), but maybe when you’re feeling tired, you push yourself to do some cardio. I know it is counter intuitive, but it works for me. Unless I’m sick and fighting a cold, I feel better having worked out, especially when I’m tired. It’s…

Darling, I lived there on less, hence the sadness of giving up the RENT CONTROLLED apartment.

I just have to assume you have never been impoverished to feel so comfortable criticizing other people’s decisions 

I can’t speak for others, just myself, so here is my humble opinion.

I just wanted to say, I love you

I loved our rent controlled, LES apartment more than I loved him. And cried like a child when I broke up with him, because I had to move in with my mom in the outer boroughs.

I was just talking to my mom about my brother. He doesn’t have a college degree (he passed up a scholarship to stay with his hoodrat girlfriend), cannot hold a job for more than a few months, and at 42 has almost nothing to show for his 4 decades on this earth besides bruises and scars from brawls. My mom and I truly…

I was doing high intensity cardio and working full time with no indication I was sick, until I got so sick night and woke up feeling too weak to even get myself to the emergency room. It was pneumonia and I had to stay in the hospital for a week. I had no idea and thought the nurse was joking/ mistaken. Until I…

The only “star” chef I had any personal experience with literally snatched a plate a food from me, while I was eating from it and threw it in the trash because no one told him there was a delivery for him at the front of house. Mind you, I had no idea what was going on in the front since was in the kitchen eating. But…

Married with Children

I thought they were being sarcastic

Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. If you feel that the author is attacking all teachers, you need to work on your reading comprehension. Many teachers are not racist. But many are and it does no good to ignore the ones that are since they have direct access to children at a very vulnerable age

Sorry, people are shady and disgusting. And for something like makeup, which is impossible to disinfect, you should not be able to return in. But if a makeup is high-end, then they should have enough confidence in their product to make tiny testers. Just enough so the client can get a feel for it, not enough for them…

At least all of the characters were open with their depravity

Then that $600 is not just SNAP. I used to work with HRA and I know the guidelines. So either you are lying about the amount or mislabeling it all as SNAP/ food stamps when they are receiving other government payments

you are lying, unless they have about 10 kids
