This also works wonders when you're on a diet! /s

"For black women, (and often black men) anger isn't an emotion they feel or express. Any show of anger instantly characterizes them — it becomes who they are. Our society would rather reduce black women down to a single lazy stereotype than to allow them the fullness of the humanity and understanding afforded to white…

Oh I love this. This word clock is my sort of rodeo. I wonder if I can replicate this for Windows. I'm sure there's something I can do with Rainmeter, but I haven't used that in years.

Seconding the cool factor thing. I may not buy Apple, and I may not find most of what it does cool, but it still oozes cool. Apple is a taste maker.

I've found over the years that the people who think their accents adapt to the region are always wrong. I always hear "oh I wish my accent wouldn't change so much based on where I am." They always think they blend in after a few weeks or months, but it only sounds blended in to them. Not to the natives. That's because…

His response showed me he was one of those Internet argument types. "I'm right and god damn it I will type my fingers numb until you agree with me." (later evidenced in his response to my conciliation) That aspect of internet culture bores me. So I moved on to something more interesting.

I don't really care about this topic at all. It's kind of silly how butthurt people get about this, and fight over it. It's just a word. I gain or lose nothing here. Dictionary accepts both, pronounce it how you want.

That man is a giant in the game. (pronounced guy-ant, obviously).

Texas still maintains the option at a judge's discretion to give life in prison for marijuana possession. Ridunculous yo.

lol Execution? Please. Another famous actor in china got some months in prison only for having a large Meth party. The kid will be alright.

Are there statistics showing that child abductions are actually up and not just more reported? I grew up walking to and from school on my own from about age 6 till 16. This was in different countries and were often anywhere from a mile to 4 miles. My biggest danger was heat exhaustion once.

How did I break my paycheck to paycheck habit? Easy. I lost my job. No more pesky paycheck problems. I jest, obviously. But I noticed how much more disciplined and how much smaller my bills were and how much less I want things during those periods of unemployment. I am strangely more stressed about money when I have a…

I started a daily challenge. I found that I had a hard time achieving long term things. I could exercise for a day but not complete a three month program. I can spend hours learning something new, but only if it takes hours. I jump to other things if I have to come back to it. Lots of things like that. I was stuck in…

yup yup, this is exactly me now. At this point I feel like I'm cheating Amazon, and as an introvert, it is perfect. Now if I could just get my work to allow me to work remotely permanently, and Amazon could start delivering groceries in my area, I can complete my transformation into a full hermit.

I went to purchase a bed and it would cost me $55 just to have it delivered to my home. Then I had a brain spark and found the exact bed set on Amazon Prime and ordered it for about the same price but with scheduled delivery and assistance putting it together, completely for free. That one purchase almost made up the…

We have Alamo Draft House. Reasonably priced food and alcohol with our movies. What is this... immoral price gouging and barring of food you speak off? :P

My mom got struck by an oil company job scam. It was nearly two years ago and she was on the job hunt. She wanted to go back to working for a company after the stress of running her own firm started damaging her health. Luckily they didn't take her the whole way. The whole scam relies too much on greed and my mom…

Everything you said just got negated the moment you used "M$". What are you, 15?

Right there with you. I scoff at the idea that a cover letter somehow communicates better. A resume is an itemized list of your skills and history. In a second, especially if you formatted it brilliantly, I can know your schooling background, skill sets, and years of experience. I can parse your history at a glance…
