That sounds like narcissist personality disorder.

But it would still benefit top earners more. If Ivanka and I have the same child care expenses, let’s say $1000, as it stands now we could get the same tax credit. If it’s a deduction it saves her more because she pays a higher tax rate than I do. So if I pay a 15% tax rate then I’m saving $150 by getting to deduct…

Yep. Grey dress I already owned. On a pier with our children and no one else. Exchanged rings that cost a total of $125 on Etsy. I did not change my name. I’m the main breadwinner (by far). He cooks almost every night because he gets home from work. Yes I probably do more laundry than him, but like I said he does a…

You think art has more reliable options for employment? And you say other than teaching as though teaching is not at least a job with benefits. You really think most people with an art school degree are employed with more reliable benefits/wages than teachers? Ok. Sure. I’m white so I certainly do have privilege there…

Yeah it’s like those “double homicide” charging statutes for a pregnant woman. On the surface what kind of monster could object? Obviously the family feels a double loss in this case. But it does recognize the fetus as a murder victim, which means they’re a legal person who can be murdered. And it’s always those…

I mean of questionable practicality. Questioning art school is all but a cliche. “Starving artist” is a phrase for a reason. To see a history degree as less practical than an art degree is not a common perspective.

I guess I was around 11. My mom had two pregnancies with complications leading to c-section (when I was between 8 and 10) and I think they didn’t have insurance. Those bills followed us forever and set up continual situations where they robbed Peter to pay Paul. At some point my mom got tired of talking to the…

Thank you! Vacations (multiple) to Europe does not=poor.

Mmm I don’t think deciding to get a history degree is exactly a point of privilege. I grew up one of five kids and we were super poor. Like some utility getting shut off most months and me fielding bill collectors’ calls by the time I was around 12. I got a degree in history and no one said a word about it. I work for…

I thought it was saying he didn’t always have condomless sex, but on days he did have condomless sex here’s the average number of partners he had on those days.

It’s just missing the piece of tape holding his tie together.

Honestly, that jewelry? That’s not Kim Kardashian jewelry. That looks like a collection that would mostly have sentimental value. There’s no big diamonds or anything along those lines in that pic.

I agree with you. I guess it depends on your life circumstances but being monogamous is super easy. I would have to go out of my way to even attempt to cheat. Just the nature of my work environment and the rest of my lifestyle. Marriage however is absolutely hard work and I also agree that marriage does change things.…

Ok look I LOATHE Bill O’Reilly but I can’t help but notice how different this is being treated than say Angelina/Brad’s divorce. He wanted everything sealed and got a lot of support for that. Then there was a significant portion of the commentariat who weren’t sure if he was the good guy or not but thought it was…

I think she’s a lovely singer but I don’t particularly enjoy her music because it’s just so damned sad most of the time. I love her personally. I just think she’s great and I’d love to hang out with her!

Except you’re competely ignoring the context of the post I responded to which was asking if this was a normal amount of bail for being caught driving with a suspended license and what I actually posted. I made clear at both the beginning and end of my post (where I literally said “Which again does not make what…

I certainly agree with you. I’m not sure if you replied to me because I said being a white woman in the south has it privileges? Because I am a white woman in the south and it is a relatively privileged position to occupy. Let a person of color be picked up for four different infractions including a suspended license…

I know someone who has rarely had a valid license and yet has never gone to jail any of the many times she was caught driving with a suspended license, much less had to bond out.

Let me be clear I am NOT victim blaming. This story is an atrocity. However I know someone who has rarely ever even had a valid license (due to multiple DUIs) and has been frequently caught driving without it as well as no insurance, an expired tag, no seat belt (yes all at once) etc. Never taken to jail and that…

Yes it’s about 25 years old! LOL
