butting in here, but I am continually surprised that no one realizes that Maniac and Russian Doll are exactly the same show:

A man and woman who start out strangers develop a very intimate platonic relationship while trying to address their social and emotional problems that are stopping them from leading a full life.…

I’m not one of those thoroughbreds. I’m a lottery winner charity case from the Midwest who is genetically blessed with smarts. Middle class all the way, I was not prepared and got thoroughly dragged by the system. Naive as fuck. And yeah, you go to Yale, you work your fucking ass off. It caused me severe depression…

There are far more students suitable for admissions at Yale then it can ever accept; these students may very well have all the skill/grades/counts, so it doesn't look fishy they got in.

Yale alum here. Both things are true: the system is unfair and those kids work fucking hard as shit. There are a large number of very rich people in the world, all producing these thoroughbred children. They'll do anything to get their kids that extra leg up; working the system is part of winning in it. These kids…

Another issue is obesity, tho. Obesity increases risks of complications, and likelihood of cesarean. If we can’t address obesity, than numbers will remain higher.  

he’s a narcissists, and they are very charming to everyone around them.  Check out narcissistic abuse on reddit and don’t look back.

No they dont.

Well, I’ll also say that, just like I’m not against make up or looking hot, I’m not against sexy lingerie (even if VS is low quality crap). I’d like to see sexy underwear stores for men designed by women.

Maybe because it’s a japanese brand?

There is great evidence that the Mediterranean is good for you in a…

I’d also like to advance an idea I’ve had for ages: Tax corporations based on the ratio between the highest paid worker and the lowest paid worker. Skewed ratios = higher taxes; more moderate ratios = lower taxed. Its incentivized wealth redistribution without the middle man (government).

yeah of course. but don’t underestimate your enemy.

Indeed! But I don’t want to attribute incompetence to him instead of malice.

Cruz is knowledgeable and a good debater. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He doesn’t care what the right answer is, he is only going to present what supports his arguments. His only goal is to make her look bad.

There is a middle ground. I’ve never been able to stomach dramatizations of the holocaust. That doesn’t mean I don’t know or learn about it - I’ll just take it in the form of a history book. Some people have suggested that I’m distancing myself from it, but I don’t think that’s true, somethings are really hard to…

Yes, can I also say that the jez commenters breezed right over Katy, but she is killing it at the gala, and her answers were amazing.

Publishing the address of Wilson is contemptible.

I thought being a liberal, progressive person meant doing the right thing, even to people you don't like, or hate. I guess that doesn't apply any more.

It's pretty stupid to think that fashion isn't culture. Of course it is also culture. This isn't fashion versus culture. Its one culture versus another.
To think that only western societies have fashion and non-western societies have culture is ridiculous.

I don't recommend that. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendly…
