'Irregardless' is a word.
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.
My first experience of America was a trailer park in rural South Carolina. It was fantastic. Everything was new and fascinating. I wouldn't want to live my life there, but I also wouldn't trade that year for anything else.
Rep. Mana Abdi (D) says that moving here from Somalia "was bootcamp", slams the housing provided
I think it’s obviously psychically damaging that so many people operate in modernity with a kind of low-grade sense that everything they engage in is wrong. Of course you should love fossil fuels. It doesn’t mean they’re perfect. It doesn’t mean that there are no downsides. It…
Sort of loving this girl's feminist take for fossil fuels
I can imagine not being forced to work. Just gotta hit that jackpot or become a trophy wife 😂
Some people literally can't even imagine a world where people aren't "forced to work." The oligarchs succeeded in so many ways. But their victories were temporary and the people will win in the long run.
It’s crazy how quickly the city becomes overwhelming when you’re not used to living in one. I grew up in a large city; but now that I’ve lived in a more suburban environment in California for 4 years, visiting NYC and staying for a week feels like a bit too much.
So far, most research into the physical aspects of our health has been done on men, with results extrapolated to women. We now know that it was a bad practice that led to inaccurate results and sometimes harmful advice where women were concerned. It looks like the reverse is…
Research found that dropout rates for men in therapy is around 44.8%. Why are so many leaving treatment? Many say the format and framing of the sessions didn’t align with what they need. We have to have more male-led and male-focused therapy solutions! Ideas?
Visiting NYC, I met with some friends in the morning and with other friends in the afternoon. What a beautiful city for walking.
Why can’t we have more places with beautiful tables and chairs and real cups and glasses?
The Coldplay Kisscam scandal happened for one reason only: the couple panicked. Had they both acted normally, nobody would have noticed anything, and the camera would have moved on in a few seconds. A Coldplay concert is no Superbowl: the chances that some of their friends or…
In no way I'm saying that this is a 100% great lifestyle choice. Not having a cent (a kopeika) of pocket money definitely cost me opportunities to socialize with friends whose families were just slightly better off but had different priorities. Nevertheless, a woman choosing to…
Before the age of 16, I've been to a cafe or a restaurant maybe 3-4 times total. My mom would give me a sandwich made at home and a bottle of water. She just did not think it prudent to spend money on more expensive premade food. She also remade old clothes into new ones, so we…

This is ignorant. I have dozens of women in my life who don’t work at all and their husbands do not have large salaries. They simply economize and are good stewards of what they do have. You be amazed at how much money you can save when you don’t eat out, buy used cars or only…
Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers.
I'm selling legal services. Should I put the Prop 65 warning in my retainers? 🤔
if you want to sell something in california, better put that on there to be safe, does it have anything on the list? don't know, but better safe than sorry, better put a prop 65 sticker on your prop 65 sticker too
I'm puzzled how this is going to work. Without having access to my bank accounts, how would Delta know what I can or can't afford?

College admissions are moving in the direction opposite of any independent thinking. High schoolers will be ranked by their fellow high schoolers based on expressing "correct" views on complex world problems. thecollegenavigators.com/f/did-college-…
"I'm afraid I woke up a lawyer in you" Yes, this is precisely how I want people to think about my job.
I honestly don’t know what’s sadder: criminal court where most defendants have multiple concurrent vandalism and burglary cases or family court where people spend thousands in attorneys fees fighting for things like a gaming console.
If aging was a natural biological state for people, it wouldn't permanently change our bodies. Am I right?
If pregnancy was a natural biological state for women it wouldn’t permanently change our bodies. I fucking HATE this pro-natalist bullshit. (And no, we’re not burdens on our employers but pregnancy and childbirth is a burden to women)
Immigration courts: " you must get respondent's passport copy; contact the DHS, here's the email." DHS: crickets. Not even an auto reply. Emails go into a black hole.
