    I fantasize about a grand internet tribunal that punishes the wicked of the internet.

    Like, catdoglover144, did you indeed post a stupid comment on a youtube thread on June 15th, 2014?

    Benita Hallaway, were you responsible for a navel-gazing listicle titled "20 Things Wasted White Girls Can't Live Without"?

    I'm reviewing GotG for a local culture website. I'm going to love the movie and then slate it in print JUST BECAUSE.

    Again, I get where you are coming from, but this is a thing that is done in both directions. It's a fundamental part of clickbait. Be contrary or outlandish to get hits.

    I keed. I will be amazed beyond words if I don't love every fucking minute of it. I'm certainly looking forward to a big, fun space adventure with lasers and aliens and spaceships and everything.

    It looks fun so I hope it will be fun

    I am hoping that it won't be trying too hard to be funny, missing, and ending up in "forced unfunny zany" and then I will not be able to stand watching it

    It's always possible that all of the funny bits are in the trailer but it does appear to get the spirit of funny right, and Chris Pratt does have some solid comedy chops.

    How do I explain to my friend that being a 24 year old with 9 grand in the bank doesn't make her poor and that when she says she has no money to me it is insulting?

    Staple your latest bank statement to her hand

    I told one intake nurse about some of the things that have happened in my life and how I have guilt issues surrounding them and she said, "Well yes, it sounds like you have a lot to feel guilty about."

    And then I spoke to the psychiatrist and it was a lot more constructive.

    Yes lady, I am aware my feelings of guilt are justified, it is the way I deal with guilt and how it affects my ongoing relationships with people that is the problem. Walking on eggshells my entire life because I did a bad thing once is not a healthy way to live!

    The mental health care system can be hit and miss, but I've been fortunate enough to speak to some world-class psychiatrists.

    And I've met some interesting nurses / social workers / psychologists along the way. :P

    Well you can say "no, I have no money. You have money."

    not that I'd entirely agree that just 9 grand in the bank makes you not-poor but that's with my CoL in mind I have no idea what it's like where you are


    We are in Ohio. It is cheap.

    I mean she's not in the lap of luxury but as a professional poor I am flabbergasted.

    actually I have no idea what Gathering you are talking about since it kinda sounds like it can't be The Gathering and you are also far from any juggalo so it being the gathering of the juggalos also sounds odd

    1) recognize that her problems are legitimate to her and it's really hard for you to give someone perspective (vs them developing it organically over a long period of their own observations)

    2) if after respecting her difficulties she doesn't reciprocate the decency by trying and be more tactful, stop talking about money/stop hanging out with her

    i can't imagine it's a good idea to try to force feed someone perspective

    some people won't get along if they're in different phases of their life

    That is true.

    I guess I can't imagine having 9 grand so I find that crazy wild.
