Mostly just corrupt politicians, hopefully.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
See it's this kind of shit that gets me fired up. The audacity this girl has. The sense of entitlement. The nerve to even use gofundme like this blows me away. You English majors, who move to the most expensive city in the country and complain about not being able to afford to live there.... So happy she was fired.

Her story was so ridiculous.
I find the politics of which GoFundMe pages go viral really interesting, because I see pages like that all the time. Some of my friends have created online fundraisers for far more frivolous or avoidable reasons (like vet bills or vacations). I don't usually mind them, because they created them with the expectation of only being seen by family and friends, and I don't mind giving my friends money every once in a while. So these things usually don't meet anywhere near their goals, and then they go away. I'm curious just how some of those personal stories would even be found and shared by the public and go viral. In this case, I saw all the "omg this hardworking inspiring person perfectly rekt this entitled girl" shared posts before I even saw the original story got shared, and got way more invested in the history of that than the actual debate about its necessity. Like, was it a kind of social network alchemy based on the kind of Facebook friends you keep, or are there just a number of trigger words that fit into a cultural narrative in the media so it's easier to feed them certain cases, or what? I can't figure it out, because her story is so predictably basic.

Yeah - absolutely ridiculous.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Haha, this is great. https://medium.com/listen-to-my-stor...dff#.u7jmkx82b
I still think the first girl's fundraising effort is presumptuous, but I really did fucking hate that smug second girl's article that i was referring to earlier.

That was a great read.
There is one thing I did like about that second article, and it's that it made me want to send Talia a check for 50 dollars with "fuck stefanie" written in the memo.

I've been listening to it so much it's coming out of my ears. We've been quoting lines left and right these days. Just now, in "Agent Carter", when Dottie was hiding in the closet, watching the Council, Dina missed what happened, and asked "What, where is she?", and, of course, I went: "She's in the room where it happens, the room where it happens...". :P
Also, I've been going through the annotations at genius.com (LMM wrote a bunch of stuff there, too), and I think I've learned more about the period through the musical than through my entire education.
I would miss you.Quoting MadMan (view post)
There's a girl at work who snarkily says "It must be nice" regularly and then I'm humming THAT for the rest if the day.

Still.
More than likely I'll show up here one day and discover the site is gone.

Guys-- I went looking online for a friend from high school and ended up going down a rabbit hole of looking up all these people I used to know. It turns out we're all really old. Like, 98% of them are middle-aged and 2% of of them look like they could be starring in CW shows, and they were already beautiful in high school. How is that fair?

I thought my PC was hacked or I had some kinda malware.
