man, its like some people only care about showing up for their friends. what nerve.

unpopular opinion: you’re lucky to have a wedding and get gifts, so if getting something from pier 1 is a disappointment to you, sit down.

Yeah I weirdly find that my most “style obsessed” friends - ie the people who shop and spend the most on clothes - often look....eh. Just a confirmation to me that buying tons of trendy shit does not a fashion sense make.

"We're not exactly germaphobes, but our house is usually organized and reasonably clean, even the areas nobody ever sees. "

Grew up in Chicago. Now a long time resident of nyc. Laguardia is hands down far, far worse than O’hare. The latter doesn’t even register on my bad-airport radar.

how are they defining median income? is it per person, or per household?

but this also has a lot to do about savings and preparedness, not sheerly income. If you achieve a middle-class salary but you consistently live outside your means, are you still middle class?

and after claiming it was a joke, he made a snarky “funny” comment about how you’re a buzzkill who doesn’t get humor, right?

nothing is worse than a white dude with a predilection for cockiness who’s old enough to be given a job and young enough to never have been disappointed by a job.

yeah the end result totally outweighs the positive effort. kind of like those breaded zucchini fries from trader joes that I’m addicted to. like, cool story trying to stick something healthy in, but we all know the main attraction here is the fried butter-carb cover.

This company is a terribly-run, terribly-managed PR nightmare.

"First, I want to make clear the issue I have is not with XOJane; they've published a lot of good stuff"

...you do you, asexuals.

thank you for this. i was scrolling through hoping for a story that was (for lack of better words), more "adult" and real than "I was 21 and we were in grad school and he got drunk and I said no and threw my TORTS textbook at his head." i really hope that you work through it and kudos for you to making the right…

that's act really sad.

right? why are people not talking about that more? i watched with a group of friends and we were all like "yep, this is going to be the internet's favorite fail of the night." haven't seen anything about it anywhere! c'mon people!

breaking: people of privilege in powerful positions receive preferential treatment.

totes agree. I feel the same way about people who make blanket statements much your spouse will annoy you 10, 15, 30 years in. That's not an absolute truth. If someone has a crappy marriage or a crappy marital sex life, tough noogies. Fix it if you want, or don't, but you can't blame it on myth.
