it almost looks like a stage kiss

Yeah.... and the fact that Kim watched the guy walk into an office (kept tabs on him) and then Kanye actually had to seek him out to punch him... The two wrongs don't make a right.

... or a setup to make kanye look like the amazing savior so he can begin rebranding himself or trying to somewhat repair his image?

...or things like 401ks that the person isn't drawing from and would pay a huge penalty if they liquidated.

but they don't even truly know the person they are following and defending! or the person they are cursing off/threatening! All they know of these people is their public persona, which may or may not be truly reflective of who they are as a person or leader.

Why on earth do people become so obsessed and passionate about celebrities!?!?! I really don't get it.

I don't think it's necessarily true of any study; studies in the sciences are different than studies in the social sciences. As a scientist I feel that many studies are objective in nature, but one where you are testing a lofty concept such as "happiness" there are so many extraneous items that you have to account…

it's perhaps a valid question to ask, but it's possible that the two groups measure happiness differently, and that even when researchers try to normalize for said differences they are still comparing apples to oranges. Not everything can be compared on a level playing field, especially relative and lofty terms such…

and those questions cause SUCH pain to people that are facing infertility issues

You also ask the same question in about 10 different ways to try to triangulate what the responder actually means/feels.

Agree.

Everyone could be lying. There's always an inherent bias with self reporting surveys, and since happiness is a relative term I would definitely say that there's tons of bias and a lack of normalization of the data.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't control for or normalize many factors. Afterall, happiness is a relative term and surveys on topics such as this have a huge responder bias built in by nature if what is being studied.

I am sure and would never argue otherwise or against what you have said.

Or mothers with children feel that they should be incredibly happy and they skew their responses through gritted teeth, afraid to admit that they're anything but incredibly happy out of fear of being judged.

As someone who has miscarried twice and had to make a really difficult decision at 5 months gestation with my most recent pregnancy, I don't think I'll be able to even read some of these comments as they are going to infuriate me and set off fits of rage. In fact, I may turn into the Hulk.

Not even getting into all the emotional and intangibles that surround reproduction and pregnancy, there's an innate desire to pass on your genetics and to be perceived as "fit" enough to reproduce. When you find out you can't reproduce "naturally" it's like a slap across the face on a multitude of levels.

That's really frustrating. I know some companies try to be extra vigilant during the holidays, but your situations don't sound flag worthy, unless your company was just flagging random transactions and researching them for some sort of internal project. Chase sent me an e-mail stating that they were going to send me…

Oddly, I thought I noticed a weird spike in my bill all of a sudden.... Time to print out past statements and reconcile against orders. Why the hell am I finding this out via the web and not NM?
