To be fair if you see the whole post that guy put up and the context it is not what it seems. He says this in response to those defending the piece of shit rapist and he is not referring to any of the victims in the cases here. I mean, he shouldn’t have said it like that but basically he was arguing that these victims…

LOL at the idea that a judge would consider a person’s opinion as stated on Facebook as compelling evidence that there were Brady violations and then DEMAND A NEW FUCKING TRIAL. Judges don’t hand out new trials the way Oprah hands out her favorite things.

You seem to not understand how bias works. If the system existed to screw everyone that would be draconian but not biased.

my maternal sensibilities just shifted into warp drive. Please tell me someone picked this baby up and wiped its little face and gave it a cuddle.

What’s the confusion?

HAAAAHAHAHAHA yesss yesss, your tears, they give me strength....

this part is my fav

That’s not what I’m saying at all. Marital property is marital property and if you don’t know the laws, draining your account before you run could get you in trouble in your divorce. Consulting a lawyer is always a good step if you want to avoid trouble in this kind of thing.

Just one opinion: I paid off debt first, and while it retrospect it worked out, it was a gamble. What I’d suggest for both you and past me is to figure out an absolute minimum you’re comfortable with (for me a solid month of expenses), throw the rest into credit card debt, and then resume saving to get a real cushion.…

Several months ago, a friend told me that she’d found out her boyfriend had another girlfriend (whom he met online) and was visiting her instead of taking the business trips he was presumably on.

It was from dire need and a barely marketable skill set but it has really worked for me. I get the thrill of shopping but I am making money. 90% of my wardrobe is from thrift shops. Bonus from all of the shopping, the suits I bought for $8 each got me through the interviews that changed my career path from jobettes to…

How I built my Fuck Off Fund ( and continue to build my growing fuck off fund):

I’ve been fighting myself and my spending impulses tooth and nail (really, it’s a struggle) to build up an emergency fund. Calling it a Fuck-Off Fund actually makes me feel stronger and self-determined. Renaming my savings acct at BoA now, thanks.

and that people who are doing important hard work (like you) aren’t on the brink of needing help yourself constantly.

As someone who has worked with survivors of domestic violence and as someone who is below the poverty line (because I chose a career that works with survivors of domestic violence), these articles feel like such a heavy “should” that so many can't accomplish. I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…

My last day in middle school my English teacher (who had taught the same group of kids for three years) had a sort of question-and-answer session about “real life”. There were lots of questions about high school and college and jobs but the one piece of advice I remember to this day was to keep your bank accounts…

Haha my sister has an ENORMOUS Fuck Off Fund. Probably $500k. She has a very stressful job and knowing she can leave at any moment keeps her sane.

This is excellent advice, that I try to live by.

It is consistently difficult to explain how fervently I believe in this to my lovely, sentimental, romantic-at-heart boyfriend. It’s not that I don’t trust HIM, but that I need these sorts of things for my own sense of security/independence/wellbeing.
