I mean, I’m fine with it? There’s nothing wrong with being alone. There’s a lot wrong with being with a guy with a comment history like yours.

You guys ever see a horse eat a baby chick? I have. The only thing surprising about this is that he wasn’t eating the pigeons.

Oh absolutely not. No thank you. The world at large has my permission to smother me with a pillow if I hit 90 and don’t die. But it’s fine, I’m sure the microplastics/ultraprocessed food/climate change/whatever will take me out before that.

I haven’t had any issue finding those amenities in hotels in Europe (at least in Berlin, Munich, Madrid, and Málaga, which is not an exhaustive study by any means). I’ve seen a few that look to be entire small apartment buildings converted into hotels, which isn’t great for the local housing market, but all the ones I’ve stayed at were clearly built for that purpose. So that’s the good news, I guess.

And you know they’re in favor of mass deportations until it impacts their family members that are still undocumented. They just want other people’s family to be deported. It’s like all those stories that came out about white Trump voters who were upset about their undocumented spouse or their favorite restaurant owner or whoever being deported.

No offense, but that’s some real thanksimcured material. If people could just say they’re not going to care about the opinions of others and have that switch actually flip, society would need like, 50% fewer therapists, but it doesn’t work like that.

The pants were hideous, but she was a size 4 in that picture. People called her fat when she was a size 2, though, because she wasn’t as bone-thin as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

I can’t speak to everyone, but for a lot of women my age, it’s because we grew up being bombarded with images of objectively thin women and being told that they were fat. You couldn’t go to the grocery store without seeing magazines talking about celebrities with cellulite and the tone was always, “can you believe she went out like that?” I remember Jessica Simpson wearing this outfit and being called awful names for how “big” she looked. It’s hard to get past literal decades of that shit.

Ha I’m about to turn 40 and same. I got married in 2013. No one brought any nerf guns. ☹️

Man, I was great at tests and history was my favorite subject. I’d love for a history quiz to be the thing I was worried about instead of like, the election and global warming and shit. Don’t get me wrong, you couldn’t pay me to go back to high school, but at least I could affect the outcome of a quiz, you know?

Depends on if you care about making set playlists. That’s the feature that generally costs more - Pandora is like $5 a month without that option, and $11 with it. I only listen in the car and don’t care about picking exactly what songs are on my stations, so I have the cheaper one, but for other people, that wouldn’t cut it.

The government should’ve bailed regular people out, not the banks.

Oh yeah dementia is a hard no for me. My dad had glioblastoma and it was like cancer and dementia combined. Watching him made me even more positive that I’d rather jump off a cliff than live like that. Every day was confusing and scary and he became really volatile, but he turned down assisted suicide when he was still lucid, so there was nothing we could do. If I’m ever in that position, give me the drugs, I’m done.

I see that going so, so poorly for him. He’ll pretty much have to disable comments, but I feel like he’d hate that because he loves attention.

Nah, I’ve only worked at the city/state/county levels, never federal. I think they’ve all been in the neighborhood of 8-10% from both me and my employer, it’s just that I’ve made shit money for most of my career because I wanted to help people and those jobs pay like crap. I also lost about 50k the last time the market went in the shitter and I’ve spent the last few years just making up for that.

Yeah, no fuckin shit. I’ve been incredibly fortunate and started saving for retirement at 22 (not because I could afford it, it’s mandatory when you work for the government) and I’m almost 40 and still only have about $220k saved. I’m miles ahead of most of my friends, and miles behind where I’d actually need to be to retire at 65. I realized a few years ago that my options are to work until I die or retire when I’m ready and off myself when I’m out of money. Option 2 is a lot more appealing - at least I’ll get to enjoy myself for a few years instead of none.

I’ve given up on the idea of owning a home. That’s just plain never gonna happen on a single income.

You know when people complain about privileged white men who always feel like they need to make every conversation about them? This is the man. He’s the one we’re talking about. If this isn’t a very late, bizarre April Fool’s joke, he really thinks he did something with this. What an absolute clown.

I haven’t listened to Madonna since the early 90s and don’t give one single fuck about her. As others have pointed out, it’s not doxxing if the guy publicly filed a lawsuit and his name is featured in most of the articles about it. His social media is (or was, as of yesterday) public and when you google him, his dad’s firm is one of first things that comes up. And they’re relevant because their motto appears to be, “we will sue somebody for you,” so it’s clear he’s following in his father’s footsteps. Suing Madonna, a performer who has had sexual content as part of her performances for 40 years is clearly a money grab and he deserves to be mocked for it.

Unless you are Justin, I’m not sure why you’re going so hard for this dude.

I’m not saying look this guy up, but I’m not not saying that either. He’s a complete dweeb who apparently clerks for daddy’s law firm (which looks like a bunch of ambulance chasers but I didn’t care enough to do any research) and is almost certainly just looking for a payday. Then again, that may have been the first time he was ever in the presence of anything even close to sex acts, so who knows.

They didn’t say GIMP itself sucks, they said leaning to use it sucks. Those are two different things.
