She’s using dramatic overstatement to make a joke. Lots of women in their late 20s/early 30s feel a lot of societal pressure to have children and meet other certain life milestones by certain ages.

Right, plus like, Iggy made the very conscious choice to come here and make herself a white rapper. This girl’s mom basically exploited her behavior problems and we are a rabid nation so she’s just responding to the reaction she is getting. And she’s 14 and how is really supposed to understand what all of this means

I was thinking the same thing bc I just finished reading the Iggy thing this morning. But then I realized this girl is 14, her guardians allowed her to participate in a nationally syndicated show that exploited the behaviors it was simultaneously deriding. I actually feel bad for this girl. We all have the awareness…

“Readers are smarter than we give them credit for, mostly.”

Thank you for this. I’m really tired of people, on both sides, taking a superior stance because they deem most people to be idiots. 

OMG SAME SAME SAME SAME. I had the skin of a fucking supermodel in high school and college when I had accurate pumping through my veins. I now have the skin of a teenager at 32. I try to soothe myself by saying that since I still have acne people probably assume I am younger than I am

It’s like how when you went to Ikea when they first started in America and there were like, no employees, because that was the point of ikea, but Americans couldn’t really get with it so now they have employees around every corner ready to ask you if you need help.

I’m going to ignore the condescending attitude and answer you respectfully, because as you think i have deep misunderstanding of the issue, I believe you do.

I’m not disagreeing or making excuses-I’m stating facts. Corporations exist to make shareholders money, therefore their biggest concern is keeping costs as low as possible in order to appease their shareholders. Having permanent direct employees is expensive and has many legal implications so it makes their…

Exactly. I found it really surprising that wasn’t addressed more directly in the article. It’s the biggest impediment to organizing!

A huge hurdle that unions are going to have to clear is one you brushed over quite quickly-the use of subcontractors. Having contract employees means that the contractors amazon has aren’t necessarily entitled to anti-union-busting protections that employees of the company are. Ideally the presence of a union would…

Okay look, I hate the trumps as much as the next jezzie commenter, but it feels weird to me that we are supposed to hate on Melania for wearing expensive shit when so much of the internet was dedicating to fangirling Michelle Obama’s wardrobe (which I very much enjoyed, fwiw). Is there a difference here that I’m…

But then someone has to get dressed for the delivery person!

Thank you for solving my problem of how to get dinner made when the only time of day I feel like having sex is between 4p-7p!!

First of all, you are conflating opinion with fact. Saying Chapelle and Rock are legends and she isn’t is opinion, and no matter how many people share that opinion, it will never be a fact. In any event, that has nothing to do with negotiating the price for any of these comedy specials.

No matter how much you’re getting paid, whether you’re making $1 or $1 billion, it has nothing to do with what anyone deserves, but has everything to do with what a company is willing to part with to keep you from going to another company.

She has a joke in her hbo and Netflix about how when she posts naked pics on instagram everyone on the internet talks about how she is “brave”, so she’s making a metacommentary about shifting narratives.

When my sister was breastfeeding she said Shen loved being able to catch up on celeb news since for the first time in 15 years she didn’t have to think about work. So like, since they’re celebrities, I would imagine being on your smartphone while you want to be immersive in something OTHER than your job, it would kind…

Their talent, whether you’d like to recognize it as such or not, is being able to drive engagement in a measurable way, which companies love. Numbers don’t discern whether you’re hate reading something or responding negatively, only that you are engaging. It’s the funny thing about it. The people that hate them the…

I’m so excited for the in-self conscious commentary from Tendermen on the Facebook post I just shared this article because it will just further solidify their awfulness and also out themselves as such so none of my awesome lady friends or queer dudes waste time on these ain’t shit dudes

I think I made it clear that I am considerate of my neighbors by making sure there’s other noise going on so people can’t hear. Learn to read.
