Thin mints are delicious and mint chocolate chip is the best icecream flavor by far.

Did you know that they sell toothpaste, in a tube, at far deeper discounts than any of the vile stuff you've mentioned? This sounds like it would be right up your alley!

I said the term "transsexual" once in a small group of people and got a stern talking to about how that is an offensive term and they basically made me out to be a huge rear end in a top hat.

I mean maybe don't say things like that and you won't get that reaction.

That's the point? I didn't know it was offensive, it didn't used to be, or if it was, I didn't know it. By shaming me for not knowing something, even though I am on the same side as you, you aren't helping anyone. I have seen plenty of people get corrected about things in a friendly manner, which serves the same purpose without being a dick.

It was the "right term", or at least a completely acceptable one like ten loving years ago, too. It's okay and understandable that people want another word used, but the way people take it as a sleight when it comes from a stranger is dumb

It's one thing to check somebody, it's another thing to jump down somebody's throat about it and there is way way way too many people who skip the former so they can go straight to the latter.

I don't respect people who have a lot of money and hang out with other people who have a ton of money. I find them to have an extremely narrow world view and they are ignorant as hell.

I don't respect people who live paycheck to paycheck. I think they need to stop pissing away all that money they are getting from work on dumb poo poo.

Everyone has an extremely narrow world view. Even the ultra-woke people do even though they think they don't because they went on a peace corps trip one summer and/or went to Europe on vacation.

Yes, there are certainly folks that can't help but to live paycheck to paycheck.

The people that annoy me are the kinds of folks I saw a lot of at my last job. They were making the same or more as me, had significant others with good income, yet they essentially lived paycheck to paycheck and couldn't afford even a $1,000 emergency. But I would notice that these people would go out to eat every day for lunch, they would talk about going out to sit down restaurants three or four times a week, they just had no concept of saving money, it was frustrating to watch. People that literally could have had multiple thousands of dollars saved a year if they just limited themselves to one sit down restaurant meal a week and brought a lunch to work!

extremely woke people tend to just be extremely woke about the bits of rhetoric they have been told about and because of the broad diversity of the human condition they usually betray their actual ignorance pretty drat quick when they call you out

especially if you arent a person that fits neatly into their little compartmentalized bits of rhetoric

a lotta these people look down on thrifty behaviors like they are better than it but clearly would glean some benefit from not wasting their limited income on expenses for the sole purpose of expense, but it is a symptom of not wanting to appear lower class and falling for materialistic signifiers and reveling a lifestyle that the people they are trying to emulate do not live

Because there is a lot fewer jobs that pay a living wage than there are people in the developed world

Also a lot of those IT goons have high five or low six figures in college debt

I'm transsexual and if other trannies have a problem with that they can go gently caress themselves. The other week I read about how writing "transman" and "transwoman" is offensive, it has to be written "trans man" and "trans woman".

I only agree with about 2/3rds of Trumps policies but its refreshing to have a politician actually go about keeping campaign promises no matter how much flak he gets. And not immediately fold the second any resistance is given (i.e Obama and Guantanamo)

I was rewatching Mad Men awhile back and it took everything I had to get through season 5. After the first episode of season 6, I turned it off and never returned. I think the long break between seasons 4 and 5 ruined something, because after season 4 it just doesn't seem nearly as good.

Which season was the one where Pete got in a fought on the train and then later the British guy? MM had a season that was both the best drama AND comedy on TV

That was season 5 and I remembered that season being amazing as well, but when I rewatched it, there seemed to be a lot more lovely boring moments than those two awesome moments.

Not to presume anything about you, but this seems to be something that has a pretty sharp generational divide. I recall an interview Dan Savage did with Kate Bornstein where they both expressed pretty much the same opinion you are.
