Death isn’t cool generally speaking. But I’m sorry, my give a damn has been busted. He was too old to know better yet still wanted to Ruckus it out. My neighborhood uncle used to say “Everybody has their time to die. But you dumb young muthafuckas can also rush your own death by being stupid.” Obviously this doesn’t…

The term is a definitely annoying, but if you have the space and/or money I think having dedicated areas that you can go and enjoy whatever you want without feeling like you are disturbing your partner (or anyone else) is a pretty great idea. I think everyone needs some alone time and if you have a 70 room chateau why…

Agreed! Her joy is infectious!

Some STRONG hate in these comments. Good lord, y’all.

I watched her Instagram tour and the pure happiness and joy that she and Offset had while walking around that house is infectious and adorable. While I’m sure to all of the high end art collectors here the house is tacky, these are two kids (neither is even 30) who…

Let me set the stage. My husbands boss, who was also his friend could be very inconsistent with paychecks. Especially around the holidays! This was the 2nd christmas in a row where we were left wondering if we were gonna be able to make Christmas happen, fun times. He kept us hanging till the 23rd so we made a vey…

Jesus fuck I’m pretty amazed at how many people are posting about shit gifts they’ve received instead of shit gifts they’ve given. Can they just not read, or are they deliberately ignoring the heading so they can tell a story even though it’s off topic? XD

I’m going to request a redo of this Pissing Contest as almost no one actually followed the prompt...

For their wedding, I bought my friends a single serving spoon off their registry. Nothing else. Just a spoon. It was the cheapest thing I could find off their overpriced registry. I never received a thank you note.

A blouse, for my mom. My narcissist, somewhat estranged mom. It was totally her style and colour! It was on clearance! I hoped the size might be ok (because I was out of fucks to give) but NOPE. I found out in joint counselling three YEARS later she was pissed when she went to exchange it for the correct size she…

For a secret santa in high school, I gave some floss and mouth wash. My rationale was that this person once shared that he hadn’t brushed his teeth for a month. He was fairly good about it and said, “Oh I need this!”

We don’t seem to be having much luck with the theme. One year Walmart or something had gag boxes to put your real gift in. They looked like those made for TV boxes, with features on all four sides. I am not a prankster really but these seemed too easy to pass up. I put my sister’s (a consummate at home chef) gift in a…

One year for a secret santa gift I bought a coworker a pad of really cute recycled paper made from animal exriment. They were very upset and I am still not sure what the big deal was. 

I’m Jewish and I approve your comment. You’re a mensch/ette.

Maybe a bit of a salve on that. Hanukkah is not a particularly important holiday religiously and wasn’t culturally super important until recently. It bears a lot more weight in modern America than it was ever really meant to, mostly because it just happens to happen around Christmas. And Christmas is so god damn…

I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).

I think the issue here is solely semantics. A phrase was created to speak to a very specific phenomenon, so when used to describe other things it doesn’t fit. Always happens with words outside of academic use. That being said, SO MUCH OF OUR SOCIETY IS BUILT AROUND CAPITALISM AND CAPITAL that to find a useful phrase…

I came here to say this. Many of my friends suffer from anxiety, depression, dating problems etc. And as a friend I always want to listen to them. But I also have those same issues, and sometimes I can’t handle dealing with it. Being low on spoons takes a toll.

That’s not the point at all. It’s that all of us are already carrying a certain amount of emotional burden on any given day. There is nothing narcissistic to recognize their are moments in which we don’t have the bandwidth to safely carry other people’s.

Relationships are work, though. Not all work is paid, nor does it necessarily make sense to change that. But they are work, and they do involve labor. Being there for someone to rant to, providing them emotional support and/or advise, scheduling future get-togethers, figuring out how to communicate with different…

This is super hilarious and definitely not at all expected as a comment to a post like this. Hey everyone, get a load of friggin’ George Carlin over here!
