Well aren’t you a special little snowflake??!!

What the shit???? When I was a kid, my parents made me go to several classmates’ parties that I didn’t want to go to. They also made me invite people I didn’t want to invite to my parties because they didn’t want kids left out. I strongly believe this taught me a valuable lesson about including people and doing the…

Some days aren’t about you.

But making children go to events they don’t waaaaaanna- robs the special snowflakes of their agency.

For fucks sake. When I was young, even if I didn’t want to go to a classmates party, my parents dragged me there anyways. Some days aren’t about you. Plus, you get cake. Go to the party!

Why would you let your child be this cruel and turn down this poor child’s party? WHY ARE PEOPLE BAGS OF DICKS!?

Has someone said this? Thank you for reading this so I don’t have to.

“So I dunno, which is worse? Being completely blindsided, lied to, and then fucked over, or knowing from the get-go that you’re fucked before you even get started? Both suck pretty hard.” This is the most relevant perspective I’ve read here yet.

I am able to keep my food budget (family of 4) around $300 - $350 per month at Kroger. The key (for us) is to buy whole grains, fiber-rich seasonal fruit and veg, lean protein/tofu, and keep a pantry full of wonderful herbs and spices. We avoid processed foods and drink water like it’s going out of style. We still buy…

Wow. That sucks for those kids. Having the cheapest parents alive. Call Dominos once in a goddamned while for crissakes.

After Flashpoint, I just threw my hands up and gave up on DC. If they can’t be bothered to remain invested in their own universe for more than a couple of years, why should I?

There are hotel service workers' unions, notably Unite Here. Here is a resource for looking for unionized hotels. I am willing to bet that more workers would unionize if given the chance, which is increasingly difficult, even in states that have not passed "right to work" laws. Unions and right to work laws have A LOT…

Right-to-Work means right to fire. I'm a loud and proud union member and steward, and I do not take it for granted.

Imprisonment for life, regardless of age, should be the result of this. It's an act of terrorism.

Fun fact: Anybody who writes or utters the phrase "I want the purity of my daughters protected" in regards to a bra commercial is going to be a grandparent at 35.

Just know this — My STEREO (in your language that's 2.0) sounds way better for movies than your AVR & Speaker Package.

Why?

Because if you spent the same amount on less channels (2 instead of 7) and less speakers (2 instead of 8) — you'd have better amps, better speakers, and definitely a better DAC.

You need to learn from us X'ers, from what our parents and grandparents did to us, and you need to not drop the ball for your next generation.

Yeah, in case you've been so busy feeling sorry for yourself to notice, we haven't actually HAD the ball yet. The boomers continue think that they are God's gift to the ages and still have terribly important and relevant things to do, specifically finding more ways to benefit themselves. When we've got a government…

As a Gen Xer here's what I've noted throughout my life.
