@Aether this is one major reason that the Left will ultimately fail even if they "win." They rely on a coalition of too many dissonant values to actually have a coherent policy. Simply opposing the Right is not enough to do anything beyond destruction. Everyone has their own standards for what they want to replace the current order, and that is where things get messy.

And I feel no sympathy for the homosexuality here. It is not as if they were not warned.

@mutagenus I understand now why there was non-stop media coverage of "look how crazy Michael Jackson is!" Meanwhile genuine abuse of child actors is ignored and covered up.

Oh, I am supposed to believe so many child actors become messed up adults because "the fame got to them?" No, they were abused by predators in Hollywood. Michael Jackson probably was too.

@Furgar No man needs to care about some random woman's opinion of him, especially at the airport. I am not at the airport to impress people, I am there to travel on a plane.

One lesson I learned from traveling with a co-worker was to travel with maximum comfort in mind. I saw him wearing sweatpants, and it made mean realize that being comfortable for an hours long flight is more important than dressing for strangers so they don't "get the ick."

And who cares how you hydrate? Not me.

Bills in Congress are a lot like women: when they are big, they are not beautiful, no matter how much anyone insists on coupling the terms "big" and "beautiful."

Making a bad choice that is not entirely your fault does not mean the choice was not bad. It is just that you were not making decisions based on correct information. The conclusion you should gather from that is not to double down and claim that you made the right choice and say that others are just jealous, but rather to use the information you now have to help others not repeat the same mistakes.

Taking the double down option just shows that you are no wiser in spite of the experience.

One of the major problems I see with the younger generations is that even though many of them will place blame on the boomers for many of their financial issues (correctly), many of them will still somehow think that going to college was worth it in spite of the crippling debt and wasted years on a degree that gets them no job.

It's okay, you can admit it was the wrong decision. The boomers led you astray there, so you don't have to defend that choice. You were lied to about that too.

@MuhSocialJustice Just because you declare yourself the prize does not make it so. With less bargaining power you should adapt to be more practical with the limited choices you have, not raise your demands even more.

"My used car with over 200,000 miles, blown out suspension, and a smoking engine that barely starts is a treasure! I won't sell it for any less than $50,000! "

@Dan_Ramos If she is not happy to take your last name, that is a clear warning that you should not marry her. Any reason she will give for not doing so is reason enough not to marry her.

I remember seeing an advertisement about an app that keeps track of your unused subscriptions and let's you cancel them easily, and I was surprised such an app would exist. It makes me realize how bad some people are with money. How can you not know what all your subscriptions are that you are paying for?

Dave Ramsey has a point when he tells people to cut up their credit cards. Too many of them are too stupid to be responsible when it comes to spending with them.

@fkq1q2r2 @DaddyO @Richard @RichardJohnson Married with Children is a notable example of the wife is also put in a negative light. No surprise that the show is almost 40 years old.

@deprecated_ii >I NEED VARIETY

This is another indicator of them not being able to cook. When I have good food, I look forward to having it again the next day.

And it does not take 50 hours a week to make food, even if you make a new meal each day. It's either a skill issue or these people somehow are trying to attempt recipes that should be reserved for stay at home moms who have a large family to feed.
