The public labeling someone speaking about abuse and airing family secrets as “exploiting a personal matter” is why so many people stay quiet about abuse, rape and incest. Who wants to open themselves up to criticism and questions about one of the most painful periods of their life, especially when they feel they…

People always forget both things can be true. Michael was a pedophile and La Toya was exploiting that for her own benefit. It’s not an either or situation.

You could retire four hours earlier if you saved that money instead of spent it (really earlier with compound interest etc but it's a start). You don’t have to spend every dollar you take in.

For all those who are impressed by this move, kindly remember that Gov. Jay Inslee (a 2020 candidate) spearheaded a similar death penalty moratorium in Washington state that was signed into law last year. I’d love to see this site do a write-up about him. Inslee 2020? Why the hell not.

If you call your daughter a dumb bimbo for choosing to do something that you don’t personally find valuable then supportive doesn’t mean what you think it means. 

Hooray, my next flight is in May on AA. 737-800 both days which is not the same as the 737 Max 8.
I wasn’t overly concerned about the Max 8 until I heard this morning that several US flight crews have complained to the FAA about control issues. And since the Federal government seems to now always side with big…

Been too many folks exonerated and released from death row for us to keep it as an option in our justice system. We’ve likely already killed some innocent folks. If we for certain did, I can’t remember off the top of my head but it’s likely.

Yeah, thats pretty fucking gross to be whoring while pregnant.

Hell, this topic exposes divisions among feminists in this comments section.

Not that I think these kids are smart and hardworking and just needed a little help but there is no correlation between ACT/SAT scores and college performance. Ivy league schools are also notorious for grade inflation so as long as you show up and do some work you can probably skate by. For example

The funny thing is, if a black person works their ass off to get into a school, racists will yell about affirmative action. MEANWHILE.........

reserve them a hotel room.

scoop the litter box every day, replace all the litter every week or two at most, take your cat to the vet if it goes outside the box.  

This is true for the small things (like a bad cold), but not the big things (like a miscarriage). I trust people can figure out which camp a given event falls into, and if in doubt, assume it’s big.

But sometimes it’s not the point. You already know the positive side. Being heartbroken and being told “eh could be worse” just makes it seem like your pain is trivial.

I find that saying is most often exclaimed by those who are insecure of their intelligence. I’m not saying this woman wasn’t stupid, just that that saying is stupid, too.

“in 2019, it’s still rare to see a black family portrayed in a loving and complicated dimensionality.”

One of my favourite things about self-checkout is if I’m unlucky enough to have acquired change I throw it all in the machine and then pay the remainder with card. Would never do that at a till obviously!

Yes, of course. Because stopping at every single checkout line to peer at customers, cashiers, and items that are hidden behind convenience-item shelves saves time. Thank you for that lifehack.

I judge them first for being cashiers and don’t even sweat what they think of my foul purchases.
