Yeah, I’m on the oldest end of the millenial scale, and this kind of baffled me. I love this movie, but some millenials were barely even born when this came out. It’s really a Gen X movie

I LONG for the brief period when I first came out of undergrad and I had a cubicle. Since 2011, I’ve been in open floor plan hell, constantly ambushed, fighting for little glass booths to make a phone call without everybody hearing, and in one job, subject to company-wide desk sharing. You couldn’t even bring in a…

Ahem.

I’m glad someone said it. But again, I’ve given up being surprised that no one remembers we exist. “I was 12" yes I’m sure this had a profound impact on you, unlike 25 year old me who was actually working a office job in tech. 

I agree that loving your job and ~following your passion~ is bullshit, but I also don’t want to go too far in the other direction and normalize hating your job. IMO it’s not normal or healthy to actively dread going into work everyday, to be constantly miserable at your job. Work should be something you do to get a…

Office relationships are the worst. I’m dealing with a bunch of cliquey hags right now.

You took that low-hanging fruit and you sprinted to the finish line. Good job.

The Kardashians Koverage has gotten me so cynical that I just wonder whether Jordyn Woods has her reality show contract signed yet.

Actually, it’s kind of the exact opposite--this shows how very difficult it is to convincingly fake an attack, and how easily the stories of people lying about being assaulted crumble under investigation. Nobody is sincerely equating “believe victims” with “don’t investigate crimes”; that’s a straw man used by rape…

I wasn’t addressing the issue of whether social media is “carte blanche grounds for firing.” I’m simply saying that public-facing social media is not your “private life.” Your private life is what you keep private. The things that you choose to do publicly, on purpose, in public-facing media, are not private. They are…

What you post on public-facing social media is not your private life. It is your public life. On purpose. Because you’re choosing, voluntarily, to make it public.

One of the things I read said that he (probably) sent the letter,and when it didn’t garner a significant media or authority response,he ratcheted up the stakes. Either way,this is so messy. He was on a hit show. He had an album coming out. He had a lot going on. And all that is going in the garbage now.

I’m just confused as to why he did it. Like, what did he get out of this? Didn’t he think that he’d be found out eventually?

I just love that storyline in the book.

The primary impediment to showing direwolves on screen is how expensive and tricky it is to shoot with regular wolves.

For what it’s worth (little), the books did also have multiple extremely unsubtle hints that Nymeria was gathering her wolf army unto her, so this all clicks.

I love this article because I see and understand both sides. Wine can absolutely elevate a flavor palate. I totally see the benefit of drinking red wine with steak, or white wine with pasta. But I’m glad that a master wine-o is here saying that if I want to drink a red with pasta, or chicken, or whatever, then I can…

Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans, and every male neighbor from Sesame Street, as well.

When MeToo really got rolling my friend and I made a list of men that we desperately needed to be not guilty of sexual assault/harassment. As we are from Pittsburgh, Mr. Rogers was one of them. Thankfully I’ve literally never heard a bad word about him. The bubble of hopeful morality also contains Sir David…

Bullshit is deep. How many guys at your job know of assholes who make life difficult for the women around them but just stand by rather than actually do anything proactive?
