The breakup scene was pitch perfect. Improvising an obvious lie during an awkward situation—and then fully committing long after it’s clear no one believes you—has got to be one of the few truly universal adolescent experiences.

I don’t know these people beyond what I read in the press, but I will say that the “but we’re a family” line is entirely meaningless and generally does nothing other than sweep a whole bunch of toxic behavior under the rug.

I’m bi-racial, Korean/White, and have to identify as white because I know pretty much nothing about my Korean heritage. What’s sad is that my White family “thinks of (us) as White”, and that’s the least racist thing that’s been said (though there’s been lots of positive racism, in “You’re so smart because you’re…

Huang said the backlash against Lee and her relationship is rooted in anti-Blackness that’s endemic among MRAsians, as well as many Asian communities in general.

And I am always interested to hear why some vocally childfree people end up changing their minds, if they’re willing to share (and curious even if they’re not).

Lol, I’m right there with you. I can’t help but to lower myself down into the gossip.

Same. As a child free person, I find the switch fascinating. Granted, I’m in my 40s and I think a lot of the switch can be attributed to getting older and having different perspectives on life. When I was in my 20s I wasn’t ready yet, but over time, “not yet” became “not ever.” 

Ma’am, you mean Michelle who has a master’s in foreign policy Kwan right? Or Michelle state department advisor Kwan?, or how out Michelle who has served under 2 presidents Kwan? Because even one freaking click to her insta would have informed you that she's qualified. She's spent the last 15 years devoted to politics. 

This is like people seeing what Logan Roy is like and then saying “how did the Roy kids get to be such assholes?” 

[flipping through a few pages of notes]

No. Life does not have to be weird. Let yourself imagine having nice things.

Also,

Dude, it’s not your opinion that’s under fire. You lied about your vax status and then hung out with people. What about those people’s right to choose to hang out only with vaccinated people? You shit all over them.

I dunno man; as a person who keeps his refillable cup when he goes to the movie theaters for later use during visits to that same theater... this speaks to me on a Fred Sanford level Commitment to Cheapness. Might not be how you’d do it, but definite slow clap from me at the very least for the stick-to-itness. 

It seems really smart that rather than focus on maternity or parental leave this program would entitle workers to leave for many different reasons. A huge roadblock to mandating maternity leave are all the people who complain they didn’t receive it when they had kids or that they aren’t going to have kids. You can use…

I’m an oldster. I use FB to stay lightly connected to friends and schoolmates from my decades of life who are spread all over the country. I don’t use it to spread anti-vax bullshit or plan insurrections. It has a use for me. But it’s free and I know that I am the product that’s being sold.

Remember when these people went crazy because of someone taking a knee when teh anthem was playing and before the flag. That was “oh so disrespectful”. But completley defacing the flag and threatening to murder other americans...somehow is totally ok for these people.

As someone who already saw a civil war...and yes as…

I spent a significant slice (har) of my teenage years as a cook at Pizza Hut. The ideal pizza size is 12" because of slice size, topping concentration, and structural integrity, to name a few factors. 2 mediums is generally always the better option from a quality perspective.

Yeah no. One study on serious exercise in the cold that didn’t even show a depressed immune system or an increase in infection rates, but showed a slight change in markers related to the immune system is not nearly enough to call it a ‘myth, that is actually true.’

Most of the universities and colleges have made big strides, yes. Things are a lot safer nowadays (though far from perfect). But much of the Greek system seems stuck where it was 40 years ago.
