‘Laxatives are for gross people, mostly fatties, or old people. Coffee cleanses are for people who *care* about their body, their temple, their root chakra’s health! Goop is a wonderful organization that really *gets* me, and respects my health. There’s no reason to smirk like that, Pat, it highlights how unbalanced…

i think it’s like ginger but with a j for jesus.

she was contacted by a NYPD detective

And then, of course, his wife, Evil Dipshit, would post a photo of herself holding up the insurance check on Twitter while standing on the back of (one of) their (many) housekeepers.

It’s funny/sad to think that the box was less full of shit than he is....

I got a book of matches somewhere, do you have any lighter fluid? We can fix that.

I would like to add that my mom teaching me Finnish and Sami was probably the biggest push to my career, unknowingly, as a linguist. Being trilingual gave me a huge advantage. I would strongly recommend people teach their kids any language they know, because it is so useful. It also shapes the way we think about…

Foreign service? In this day and age? How is it going? I passed the exam last Jan and I’m waiting on clearance but not all too excited about the prospects...

People elected Bush Jr. thinking he was like the guy in the bar you want to have a dring with. Now they elected the creepy, spoiled rich kid who will bulldoze the bar to put up a statue of themselves.

This. Before Prozac everyone in my family was an alcoholic because it was the only fix around for That Feel. Now, I might live to be a senior citizen and not die of suicide or liver cirrhosis. That’s pretty fucking fantastic.

Chocolate and Mexican food. Soon no emotions will penetrate the blubber.

I agree. I think we are so overmedicated it isn’t funny. Of course there are people who truly need antidepressants because of a chemical imbalance. I get that. But everyone I know is on anti anxiety medicine. Yet they still drink 4 cups of coffee a day. Like guys, not for nothing but caffeine is a cause of anxiety.…

I call it victim mentality. Everyone wants to be the victim. We’ve even started out victiming each other in order for the power to speak. It’s very bizarre when you take a step back and look at it. And then on top of everything, everyone has anxiety about everything.

I know. I feel the same way about anxiety/depression that I do about ADD. Do all of those kids REALLY need meds? Do all of us REALLY need anxiety/depression meds? Do some of us just need some exercise and a kick in the rear? I don’t know what the answer is.

I totally agree with you. It is sad. It’s not sad that people take antidepressants or anxiety medication, it’s sad that people, especially so many people *need* to take it. I’m happy people get some kind of relief but there’s something wrong in a society where so many people are debilitatingly sad and anxious and…

I understand what you’re saying. I’m not anti medicine. I’m just asking if it concerns anyone that everyone seems to be extremely depressed and anxious and can’t deal with life. Doesn’t anyone care why? Thank good for modern medicine that helps people feel better but it’s much much deeper than that.

I know. But I drink a lot and pretty sure the flight attendant was being judgy on my flight to Japan when she said “You must really like champagne!” So I guess I should have said I’d request constant refills w/o any lip service :)

Presumably they’ve already been paid. Rather handsomely. You tip waitstaff and taxi drivers because their base fare is too low to live off of. (I hate this fact as that shouldn’t be my problem, it’s their employers, but I’m not heartless, so I still tip.) Pilots and taxi drivers are not in the same category for that…

If it looks like a douche, swims like a douche, and quacks like a member of Fallout Boy...

another customer requested that their flight attendants sing Christmas carols for the duration of the flight
