A lot of people who claim to work 60 hours a week probably only do actual work a fraction of that time. Let’s say you’re a specialist in databases and can make a new database in a couple of days, but someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing can spend several weeks. Did they do more work because than you because…

Well – the other trick of that is that they only give those gigs to trust fund scions, because they’re the only ones who can afford to work those hours without getting paid in the cities where that kind of work is in demand. So you have the added “benefit” that

Aren’t most shitty under compensated jobs now just considered internships that 20-somethings are graced with as exposure or similarly termed nonsense? It’d be nice if this also addressed this form of exploitation of youngand or poor workers as well.

When will people stop with the nonsense that this fictional song actually happened? And if any of you actually think Big put the heat on Anthony Mason and not only lived to tell about it but put it in a frickin’ rap song then clearly your mind is diluted due to angel dust.

I want to know how the conversation went down when you guys asked people to participate in this.

I agree to a point, but I think there are probably just as many not-tortured geniuses as there are tortured geniuses. For every Robin Williams, there’s a Steve Martin; for every Amy Winehouse, there’s an Adele. It’s not that Steve and Adele live flawless lives, or that they aren’t surrounded by opportunists, but their…

Slightly OT: I wrote to Tommy Chong while he was in prison. I just felt like his sentence was heartbreakingly unfair and I just wrote a brief note telling him so. He wrote back a thank you and when Cheech and Chong did a little local live show here in FL (in 2013?) he told everyone how much he needed that support. I…

My diagnosis? It was PTSD from being sexually assaulted as a child.

I’m relatively certain I lost years of my life that I wouldn’t have had I not been deemed “sick.” I don’t care to dwell anymore, but I was very angry for a long time and still have a very low opinion of the mental health profession. I believe they’ve helped others but they’re not getting their paws on me again.

I had a very similar experience. Had PTSD issues that were misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder, spent ages on a bunch of pills that made me a zombie (and made me gain tons of weight), kept hurting myself, crises, etc.

And the “it works” is also condescending because no, it doesn’t for everyone,...

Uhh saying she should seek professional help suggests that these things only happen with people who aren’t getting help. That’s pretty condescending to the tons of people who have attempted suicide/run off/had episodes/disassociated/etc. while getting help/treatment. And the “it works” is also condescending because…

Jesus Christ this is a condescending post. Sinead O’Conner has had 20 years of professional help. For many people mental illness is a life sentence. So your assertion that “it works” is both a lie and a slap in the face to people who aren’t going to ever permanently recover.

The paging Dr. Faggot joke is still how guys talk to each other, Drew. You know it and I know it. We just can’t say it in public anymore, but we all know its still how people talk. Which should be okay.

I feel like the point where you are putting makeup on your breasts is probably the point where a close examination of what you are doing is well past due.

This will be a tough challenge, citizen. On one robotic hand, people watched her streams because of the sex appeal she has, the main selling point of watching her streams, much like people enjoyed watching me get blown to pieces by small arms fire.

I’m a single dad taking care of 2 kids. Where are these single male benefits I keep hearing about? Why isn’t the patriarchy helping me? I'm white too. I don't get it.

Ugh, I just can’t with the Little House books. I loved them as a kid, like most kids have for the last few generations, but the racism and sexism and manifest destiny and american exceptionalism is so awful. Louise Erdrich, a Native American writer, has some great children’s books with all of the same wild adventure…

I feel so bad for this guy but I can't stop laughing.
