The ability to tell the entire world what you feel or think is dizzying. 'How should I phrase this?' 'Do I include that?' 'Is this oversharing?' So many doubts are lurking around that share button.
But believe it or not, some people are immune to them. They post every thought that crosses their mind. And they can be anyone! Parents complaining about their kids, high schoolers "analyzing" political discourse, celebrities interacting with fans, or everyday folks venting about their lives; we can't keep count.
Here's a collection of tweets from people who decided to get personal online. Too personal!

I heard once "Everything I know about the Kardashians I learned against my will.", I totally agree.
There are 2 ways to look at this: "Yay Me! I never watched it! "And there is "How did that 'show' last 20 years?'
I will never understand honestly what was so interesting about that show and it lasted more than half a season!!
Load More Replies...Soooo much truth to that statement. No one around me watches or cares about them but somehow we all know too much about them.
Load More Replies...Me too. Anything I know about the Kardashians is through involuntary osmosis.
Congratulations! Neither have I, and our brain cells thank us for it. 🎆

It is really sad that the asian community was targeted because of Covid. I really dont get people. That said most people wont be able to distinguish between the Thai and Cantonese languages by hearing them just because they wont hear any difference. Just a foreign language. Same with any pair of uncommon foreign languages.
It was a really sweet idea by mom but proves ineffective. She didn't anticipate the utter stupidity of the racists.
I can't differentiate between them, but I also wouldn't judge someone for speaking a different language than English, so I hope I'm okay.
They can't tell the diffrence between spanish and french in one of my encounters.
normal people who has no knowledge of asian language won't be able to make the difference. nothing to do with racism. but i get his point
America is a big country. Some people have never heard Thai or Chinese spoken. I can tell Vietnamese from Chinese from Japanese, because I have friends from each background. But since t do not have Thai friends, I would not recognize it when spoken. Lack of experience does not equal racism.
Reminds me of my Spain born gran who wouldn't speak Spanish in public because she didn't want anyone to think she was Puerto Rican...because she was racist.
One girl was attacked by an elder man because she is Asian in the beginning of all Covid chaos where I live. It was a bit scary to go outside but not much scarier then before and that thought was a scary revelation for me. The fact that one is never safe and it's always been more or less uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to look different. And I always tried to laugh it off and this got more difficult now

Yes, I think that. I don’t have a particular goal but I still enjoy everyday. Hey, look the neighbours sent cake. Funky. I’ll bake them something too. And this will go in my journal as a fun day.

Load More Replies...This may well be the finest motivational statement ever written. I am genuinely moved and life makes a little more sense today. Miss me with that 'Live, Laugh, Love' crap.
This is refreshing but I'm also kinda scared by it because I feel like I have to work a 9-5 for the rest of my days or else I wouldn't be able to survive.
I can understand that. The thing is you don't have to do the same 9-5 job for the rest of your days. Try different things? Some jobs are great because the people are great. All jobs have boring aspects but as long as you enjoy most of it or get something rewarding out of it - might just be knowing that you are providing a necessary service. Also, work to live and not live to work - get that work/life balance right.
Load More Replies...I just want to be happy, really. I don't want to be rich & famous or climb the corporate ladder. I make enough to afford rent and basic needs and I can sometimes get a tattoo and go on vacation. That's fine by me.
This is exactly what I ever wanted. Never mind if I had to go to the ballet studio every day, all day long. But I did it, with honors. I became a professional ballet dancer in Royal Theater in Amsterdam. That was my dream job. :)

Load More Replies...The staff at CollegeGrad, an entry-level job site for college students and recent grads, believe there are at least 9 things you should never post on social media.
1. Profanity. The language you use on social media is often the same one you'll use when casually interacting with coworkers. A minor four-letter-word once in a while isn't a crime, but if swearing is a big part of who you are, it may affect how employers look at you.
2. Abusive content. Social media can be a great place to share opinions, but if your feed is full of arguments and rants, you may come across as an overly negative person, probably not the kind of employee companies want in their office.
3. Adult content. A snapshot on the beach is perfectly fine but posting explicit photos of yourself can have a noticeable impact on your image. The Internet is a public place. So, before posting a selfie, consider if you are OK with being seen like that in the office.
Genius
This could work for when you need to choose where to go eat. It would just have to be adapted for both. Brilliant idea.

I'd need an app for me. Just for me. Something that suggests things based on my level of boredom or itchiness. (I get itchy when I want something but I don't know what. Is that just me? I feel like I'm sitting in nettles )

Load More Replies...I love Sir Ian and I celebrate him and I am a passionate supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, but I think it's naive not to recognize that in many places in EVERY part of the world, being openly gay can get you jailed, beaten, fired, victimized, ostracized, disowned, and even killed without legal consequence. Some people stay closeted to stay safe, free and alive.
Sure. And yet, the moment they CAN say who they are because they don't have to fear it anymore, they're probably happier than they were before. Right?
Load More Replies...4. Illegal content. Not only could this get you fired, but it may also land you on America's Stupidest Criminals. Even worse, you could be arrested if authorities see credible evidence of certain kinds of illegal activity.
5. Offensive content. Racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination should have no place in your (online) life.
6. Negative opinions about your job, employer, boss, or professor. One comment about how you hate your job could cause future employers to wonder if you really like the work you are doing or not. And a comment about your "stupid boss" could make your next conversation about the raise you were hoping to get a lot more difficult.
7. Drug-related content. Some employers may require you to pass a drug test as a hiring condition. But chances are you won't even make it that far if you post about substances publicly.

Load More Replies...Cute, but in real life what I usually find is that they recommend that I buy something that serves the same purpose as the thing I just bought. Like okay, if I buy a box of chocolate candy, maybe a week later I want to buy another box of chocolate candy, because I hate the first one. But for example I bought a laser printer, and so they sent me ad after ad for other laser printers. Umm, guys, if I just bought a laser printer, probably the last thing I am likely to buy for at least a few years is another laser printer.

Imma take the unpopular side here; EVERYONE has their challenges. Yes it is easier when you don't have to worry about food/shelter/clothing but insecurities, depression, mistakes, regrets affect ERVERYONE. I have a huge mortgage, drive a 20 year old beater car, and sometimes have to borrow to get over a rough patch, but I am still in the top 10% income in the world, live in a free country with (mostly) honest government and a social safety net. I STILL struggle with the issues I noted above. I am sure there are millions in the developing world who would claim I have nothing to whinge about. There are many reasons to dislike the top 1%er's but this is not one of them.

8. Poor grammar. A comma here and there is nothing but if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", it's time to learn. Communication, including writing, is an important part of professional life.
9. Threats. It is not OK to threaten others, no matter the situation you're in. Wishing someone ill, whether it is a friend, family member, colleague, politician, celebrity, whatever; if you don't like someone else, social media is not the place to be hurling threats of any kind.
The Internet is public. Remember that when you're posting from your personal account.

Amen to this one!! People have no idea how gut wrenching it is to be pestered about children when you’re trying and want them so bad. This is coming from a 36 year old 6’2 220 country boy/construction worker type of guy, yes men like us do have hearts. I’m tired of brushing your badgering off with a joke shut the heck up about it already!!!!!
Thank you for that. We don't always think about how a male partner may feel about this
Load More Replies...It gets easier when you are in your 40's. People know there is some reason you don't have kids and they don't ask. Although they do ask if you have kids and when you reply with a simple 'no', they just don't know where to go from there. I think people find the topic of their children such an easy starter conversation, they forget how to start a conversation without it.

I did something similar being told by a man to smile. "My mom just died, so I don't feel like smiling. *Is that okay with you??*" Apparently it was.
Omg!! Relatable! The first interaction I had with a new coworker was that she “hopes I don’t want any more kids because I’d never put anything in my body Bill Gates funded.” (Regarding me having had the Covid vaccine) it has been pure hell working with her ever since. She hasn’t learned you NEVER comment about someone’s reproductive abilities when you don’t know them!
I had an extremely difficult pregnancy and almost died during the delivery. 6 months later my family was asking repeatedly when I was going to have another baby. How about NO.

If I learned something from the pandemic is that a lot of people (surprisingly a lot) doesn’t give a crap about others people lives. Apparently comfort and going out is more important that not making others ill. I hit bottom when my in laws refused to wear masks near me when they know that I have lung problems and COVID would be dangerous for me.
Load More Replies...There are actually three types of people: those who can count and those who can't.
To any and all a-holes out there. I was EXTREMELY careful not to get COVID. But I did anyway, probably because of a-holes out there. I wasn't dangerously ill. BUT I have brain damage that may be permanent. I've met numerous people who were VERY fit (triathletes, personal trainers, etc.) that have similar problems or things like permanent lung damage.
I am so sorry this happened to you. I work in healthcare and I have seen soooo many people that have brain/memory issues post co vid it's alarming. May you continue to heal.
Load More Replies...I watched a documentary once about a large boat that sank somewhere (I wish I could remember the details better). But the doc analyzed who survived and who didn't. The survivors weren't the selfish people who fended for themselves, or the people who jumped in and tried to be heroes to everybody. They were the people who banded together with the small group around them and all worked together to get out. I thought that was interesting.
I also learnt that people who think you shouldn't wear a mask have no issue pointing it out to you, not only with words but also with violence. I was followed around a park not long ago after I asked someone to social distance from me (no immune system) and I was spat on
I never realized just how selfish we Americans are until Covid. Before Covid if someone had asked me if all the people I know would wear a mask to help other people stay healthy & not die, I wouldn't have hesitated to declare, "YES!" Sadly, I've learned that far too many people don't care about others at all.
One thing I learned is that when there's is some crisis, like the covid epidemic, there are three types of people in the world: Type 1: We'd better stockpile food and medicine. Type 2: We'd better stockpile guns and ammunition. Type 3: We'd better stockpile toilet paper.
Yes. I live in the US. I believe one reason why so many people have refused to wear masks, is that we went about it all wrong. Officials recommended people wear masks in order to protect others. That's the problem. There are so many people, from all walks of life and from all over the country, that truly couldn't care less about others. If masks were recommended as a way to protect the wearer instead of those around them, I think it would be a very different story. Just my thoughts...
I thought exactly the same thing very early on. Unfortunately it is now a very selfish society and so many people are out for their own self interest. So many people don't care about protecting others. But tell them it's all about them, they're right on that. Which confuses me about getting vaccinated and refusing. It's to protect you from getting it! Just keep it vewy vewy quiet that it helps others.🤫

Load More Replies...I was once saved by the 'belle', the person for whose job I was applying. It was her last day; she was sitting hunched over behind a desk wearing a corsage and a haunted facial expression, but said nothing. One opportune moment when my interviewer was distracted, she caught my eye and ever so slightly shook her head, mouthing something that might have been 'run'. I never regretted taking her advice.
Wow. In my case, the interviewer made a few half-joking digs at the business owner. So I gave a ridiculously high figure when asked how much I wanted to be paid.
Load More Replies...Seriously, though, when you go on a job interview, unless you really desperate that you just HAVE to get ANY job, you should be interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.
After all these years of working I've learned to ask many questions and i believe the references from other employees should be a thing! We should demand things as well! Luckily I'm working in a small touristic place where we all know each other! If someone is a bad employer EVERYONE around knows and avoids!
Load More Replies...In the third interview, before accepting a job, I actually asked to meet other employees doing the job. They seemed downtrodden. What nailed it was I noticed the owner and HR person listening at the door. I changed my line of questioning so as not to jeopardize the employee. Declined the job two days later.
Yup. It goes both ways. They agree to hire you, and you agree to work for them.
It's a bit problematic though, I have read the few descriptions of the company that I work for and I realized that the experience may vary significantly between departments. Not to mention if it's a global company. It may be great in some department or in some countries and really suck ass in others. Trust me, I know this first hand.

And A Family That Takes Care Of Their Elders
I always thought that was the whole point of the Addamses: they don't conform to societal norms of what is acceptable but their relationships are ideal, unlike the rest of suburbia. Like being authentic breeds happiness.
Spot on - they are also supportive and make time for their kids, nurture good relations with their whole family (Granma, uncle Fester cousin IT etc). They're also good neighbours (in their eyes ;) always welcoming to guests ("welcome honoured guest") and they have a really tolerant attitude towards the strange ways of others.
Load More Replies...And that Gomez doesn't mind having his mother in law living with them. I loved granny in the 60s series. She was my favourite granny next to granny from the Beverly Hillbillies. They had the best shows in those days. With the best theme tunes.
The Addams Family should be a role model of a healthy family. A loving couple, which doesn't resent each other. Lived with their elder family members and not sent them to a retirement house. And supporting their kids in their interests. They even accepted when their 3rd child has changed to a "normal" baby. Morticia even read a normal child book to him (Bambi I guess). They were perfect.
Grew up watching the movies (presented to me as "scary") and fell in love with them. In my 20s now and still watching them every year during the holidays, still hoping to have that kind of life one day. By the way, try the TV show from the 60s if you haven't seen it yet!

Load More Replies...Just saw a bumper sticker: "When God said 'Love thy neighbor, he meant it!'"
Well, when it comes to religion things sure do escalate quickly. I just take people as I find them. I do have a faith, but even with that, if you claim to be a _______toss in any religion, and you are a nasty piece of work I have a huge issue with that. I'll take an atheist who is principled, kind and non judgemental any time. As for religion, specifically the Bible, when the Pharisees demanded that Jesus define the Laws, all He said was to Love the Lord your God with all your mind, all your heart and all your soul, AND TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF (the capitals are mine to make a point, not yell) and that summed up the Law and the Prophets. Thats pretty much it I think. And you can even do the last part and be an atheist. As for equality, my faith says that society will never reach it's full potential until woman takes her rightful place beside man. As in men.
A lot of times the “ultra religious” don’t believe in the religion at all and are just in it for the power or the heirarchy. There’s the low-level crazy people who use religion as a way to judge people and get a I’m better than you power trip off of it, and there’s the high-level people who see an establishment where you’re able to fake your way into a position where you’re automatically deemed trustworthy and your decisions go without question. Narcissists/psychopaths often like to infiltrate religious institutions and poison it from the inside out while basking in the power their given. Unlike the low power level people mentioned, they’re usually very well read on the beliefs of the religion their in and twist it to manipulate. Neither of these types of people care about the actual religion theyre “a part of”, they’re just looking for a way to hurt people.

They do! Scientists played the sound of flowing water to beavers, and they did everything they could to stop the sound, including finding and destroying the speakers.
I just learned about that earlier this week...so neat.
Load More Replies...Apparently it's not the sight of water that triggers the instinct but the sound.
It's an interesting evolutionary trait with them, babies who haven't even opened their eyes yet raised without any contact with adult beavers will when they get a bit older try and build dams and nests in them so it's definitely an inherited instinct
Ok, funny story. I watched a Tik Tok on this last night . Beavers hear rushing water and they automatically start building . They put speakers out with the sound of rushing water , and the beavers built damns around them
I watched something funny not too long ago about an orphaned beaver living in a Canadian woman’s home. It would literally collect and drag random things from the house and build dams in the doorways. Pretty sure it’s on YouTube and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a dose of cuteness.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden has been rewearing things! And people are complaining of course🤦🏻♀️

Why is your political affiliation so important to Americans? Are there no people that just don't like any of them? That think, I'll listen to what they say and vote for the person that seems to have the best ideas to me? Nobody that thinks, 'I agree with the Dems on that subject, but disagree with the other thing. And I like the Reps idea on this, but not on that'?
Because it correlates very strongly with progressive and conservative thinking. Which correlates with how people think about a lot of things.

Truly A Yearly Highlight
When I was 7, I lost a tooth. I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found a $20 bill under my pillow. I rushed in to the kitchen and said "The tooth fairy gave me 20 bucks!!" My mother looked at my Dad and said "Wow...the tooth fairy was generous!" To which my Dad responds "Probably because it was dark and the tooth fairy couldn't see what he was pulling out of his wallet."
Ha! Full disclosure, not giving away the secret and being funny. I hope he’s always this sharp witted!
Load More Replies...I know this is usually the case, but I can't be the only Dad that does it all? I don't just buy the Mom and Dad, I pick and buy the gifts from siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, even ones who have passed. I have never said anything, but my kids know, kids are smart. Every year someone brings out the dads don't know what the gifts are talk, and every year my kids correct them, while I just smile in the background.
My husband and I do it together. We decide what to get and what from whom. Our families don't have a clue what to get our kids, so they give money and we spend it on things our children like.

I think that was the whole point of the post, he wasn't really taking a risk.
Load More Replies...Most people only get to choose between community college if they're lucky or working at McDonalds or similar.

"BUT DAD!" ...like are we supposed to feel happy for him or something?
I don't know why it doesn't get mentioned that his first "site" was rating women by looks and f*ckability. It was a misogynist , mean, sick, infantile endeavor. Other people and their ideas and work morphed it into what it is now, and he's made his money making everyone a meat market for sale
He probably made the worst community site at the time, but his success was due to his community breaking the number 1 internet rule...never tell anybody your real name on the internet!
Not completely true. If you have nothing to lose, you can afford bigger gambles. The downside risk is limited by definition.
Wait ... didn't he go to Harvard ? That's how he and his friends created Facebook. It started out with the intention of just being a thing for their campus
Good Firm Handshake Should Open Up Doors..
The first breakdown would be their wage. The second would be their zero benefits. The third... no pension. This. Is. Genius.

Oh yes please. And have them see that all the changes in their benefits that they bitch about aren't just their company, it is everybody. Everybody has similar benefits anymore. There is no 'if you don't like it work somewhere else'.
Try a union job. Unions force the suits, who don't do any of the actual, physical work needed to make or break a company, to pay fair wages and provide benefits. Not fair that the suits get millions while the folks who work so hard have to live hand to mouth.
Load More Replies...I admit it. I am not a fan of posts like this. I am a boomer. Tail end and think rather differently than some do. Yet I am lumped together with all Boomers. I learned long ago not to categorize someone simply for being born during a certain time. I fell for that "Don't trust anyone over the age of 30." stuff much to my regret. I wished my parents (and elders) would just drop dead and get out of the way since as far as I was concerned they were screwing up the planet with pollution, etc. Yet, I see this. If I must be hated for the horrible crime of being born when I was then at least don't do the same thing I did by whitewashing people because of when they were born instead of what they are like. I am not any generation's enemy and I'm sick of it.
Yeah so funny, watching an elderly person have a mental breakdown for giving out dated job advice, so so funny. Lucky you'll never get old and lose touch right? You'll be funny forever.
Back in my day you never lost touch. You walked fifteen miles uphill in the snow to hand off a letter to the post master just to stay in touch. Kids these days would never understand.
Load More Replies...I don't understand the point of this post? Are you blaming boomers for the greed of Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bezos etc. None of the greedy billionaires are not boomers. As far as applying for jobs, you fill out an application. To sum up my point, it isn't the fault of boomers that businesses are not offering benefits. That is the fault of franchisee owners, and share holders.
"none of the greedy billionaires are boomers" you are correct and people like to forget this. That said, boomer billionaires suck too.

Kids can behave without being on a leash. It just needs more effort from the parents.
Load More Replies...I used to have a harness for my autistic son. He felt comfortable with the illusion that he was free to run around at will and I was comfortable knowing he was nearby. After having him disappear for 30 minutes out the back door of a laundromat and wandering several blocks away following some teens that had passed by, I felt it was the only option to keep him safe while avoiding autistic grade meltdowns in the middle of a store, laundry or doctor's office.
your kid suddely disapering is a horrible feeling, even if it just for a moment, maybe because they got distracted.. i'm glad you got him back :)
Load More Replies...Oh, how I wish there was a sign at supermarkets that reads "children must be kept on a leash at all times". :D
If I blindfolded my son, handcuffed him to a radiator, and shackled his ankles, he'd still make it two-stores-down.
Cuz all kids have the same mental capacity and parents can devote 100 % attention to an individual kid while out running errands. What if she has 3 kids in diapers and one is a runner? Going to ditch the otther 2 to chase the autistic kid?
To all the comments on here that are scolding the parents: THEY ARE TRYING. Do you know how hard it is to keep a kid under control? And the little quote that Destry Monteith Broderick made was very rude/inappropriate, I’m sorry if I sound like a Karen, but too bad. Asking if a child is a rescue? That’s too far. Some things are better left unsaid.

Its so weird how Magic Mike is literally a movie about male strippers, yet they still managed to sexualise women/treat women as somewhat of a joke (i.e. its 'funny' but not threatening to see middle-aged women losing it over male strippers), all the while still portraying the men as dominant and strong
On the other hand, I'm sure Channing Tatum was used to a lot of people assuming he was dumb because he had worked as a male stripper. So maybe he was trying to dispel some assumptions about himself by financing and producing that film.

The Elephant In The Room
Both understandable. What's the point of calling an obese person fat? They won't magically loose weight and it will probably just make them feel bad. Complimenting a person that has lost weight is a nice thing to do.
I detest people commenting on my weight loss, it’s no body’s business but mine. End of story.
Load More Replies...I hate that. Since I am ill and I can barely leave the house or exercise I have gained like 10kg (I was in a good weight before). Everybody in my family feels the need of telling me that I am fat and need to lose weight (to be fair when I had a perfectly healthy BMI they also called me fat). Thanks, I am in constant pain, my body has failed, dont have a life anymore or hopes for the future and I am caged at home. But my weight is what bothers you?
I'm so sorry for that ozacoter! I hope you feel better soon! And don't listen to anyone and if you can be rude with them then be rude! This is what i do the last two years I've gained weight! If you make me feel uncomfortable I'll show you how it is! Just the phrase " i don't remember asking your opinion" blocks them cause usually they don't expect an answer!
Load More Replies...About 15 years ago I cut my long hair short and suddenly everyone would tell me how bad I'd looked with the previous haircut.

He Needs 8 Months Of Tips
My gf found a lost phone once, which of course was locked, and we were sitting there wondering what to do with it when it rang and it was the owner's mother. So if you lose your phone, try phoning it, as some nice person may have found it and be trying to work out how best to return in.
That’s exactly what happened to me I found a phone at the post office and I was ready to take it up to the sheriffs department when it rang I answered it the woman freaked out I said look I’m at the post office come get it I’ll wait for you. She was there in 10 minutes crying and totally distraught seeing her life was on the phone. She offered to pay me and I said no thanks I’m just glad that you got your life back. I walked away thinking to myself I’m so glad I don’t have my life on my phone

THREE times my husband has had his lost/stolen phone returned to him!!!! How does that even happen to 1 person??? 1st time, lost it in park, 8 yr old kid found it, called the "home" # & we gave him $50 "finder's fee." He was super stoked! 2nd time, phone was stolen from hubby's job, dude sold it online to other dude, other dude buys it & finds out he can't activate it b/c it's been reported stolen. Can't even take it to store b/c he'll be arrested on site. Calls "home" to tell my husband what happened & hubby gives him $50 out of good faith. 3rd time, it gets stolen from work, we use the phone finder on my phone, track the guy down, he returns it the next day b/c he was scared we'd call the cops & he'd be deported b/c he was undocumented. Call the cops, yes, have someone deported, absolutely not. Don't roll that way.
I put "If found, please call (xxx) xxx-xxxx" on the lock screen, with my hubby's cell number.
Is there no way for a driver to contact the rider via the app about items left behind? That seems like a glaring oversight on the part of the company if that feature does not exist.
There is. They contact Uber and Uber contacts the customer via the email address they used to set up the account.

Yep. We were the latchkey kid generation. Get back and forth to school on your own. Come home and get your own homework and chores done. Amuse yourself. We were raised to be perfectly suited to spending over a year working from home. Our parents didn't spend their free time helping us with homework, ferrying us back and forth to various activities, and arranging play dates for us. I was expected from a pretty young age to organize my own life with minimal supervision.

if you ever go to Portugal or a Portuguese restaurant, try one of their staples, 'Caldo Verde' which translates simply to Green Soup, made with Kale and creamed potatoes, with optional slices of smoke Portuguese sausage in it. It's one of the most delicious soups I've ever had. They use kale in lots of dishes and it's always good. It's not the kale, its; the prep and how you cook it.
Load More Replies...OK, don't do that to kale. Eat it with mashed potatoes and gravy, and preferably some sausage and bacon bits. If you're vegetarian, use other salty add ons or fake bacon or whatever. It's delicious that way, because kale is pretty good when combined with salty flavors and sweet and soft textures.
Hey! I was going to say almost exactly that. Stamppot boerenkool is one of my most favourite winter dishes (sometimes in the summer too lol)
Load More Replies...When was a lad in the kitchen (early 90’s) kale was what we used to fill the spaces around the crocks in the salad bar. It never occurred to any of us even once to attempt eating the stuff.
I just buy it, take it home and toss it in the trash. My trash can will probably live longer than me though. Unless I shoot it.
Beware of kale. It absorbs more heavy metals from the earth than other vegetables. When the temperature drops you'll fall out of bed.

She is also Queen of Canada, New Zeland amd Australia and pretty sure some other tiny places like islands.

Language Is Important
My mum is a fastidious worker. Working from home she has logged in earlier than she does when she's in the office because 'someone might have come in early'. So she sits there for half an hour waiting for the rest of the workforce to wake up then has her lunch at her desk 'in case anybody needs me'. Finally clocking off half an hour after close of business, because 'someone might be working late'. She's a PA for a solicitor. One solicitor. You'd think she was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with the level of commitment she shows. I admire her, but I wish she would take the piss a bit like everyone else.
The term, "livable wage" needs to urgently factored into our language.
I called my director out during a zoom meeting. "You mean I'm not at work? Wow, if I had known that I wouldn't have joined this zoom call. So I just leave all of these reviews in my inbox until we return to work?" He got the message. Forever more he said "return to office". But I'm in Florida so we declared Covid over in July 2020. State employee, governor says covid killing tourism, means you go back to the office during the height of the pandemic even when 100% of your job is done on a computer.
Yup. It's not back to work, it's back to the office. Which, luckily, many companies don't do. They just stay remote or hybrid at worst.
The Dutch government is now proposing a law to stop employers from contacting employees during their time off. It's because they don't want that working from home becomes a situation where employers think that their employees don't have or need any private life anymore.
It means returning to your workplace. Words can have different meanings in different contexts. But you're right, language is important and it's good to understand it.

and also why oh why do Netflix documentary makers (especially murder docs) fill the whole thing with multiple random drone footage of lakes, mountains, towns, roads, houses which bare no relevance to anything and also dramatic large letter 2 DAYS BEFORE MURDER/ 4 DAYS AFTER MURDER/ 5 DAYS BEFORE BODY FOUND/ 3 DAYS BEFORE AUTOPSY/ 2 DAYS AFTER AUTOPSY and loud dramatic music to hype the whole thing up. And random footage of victims family members AND random people not related to the victim's family and/or anyone else in the documentary walking in the woods/alongside a lake/in a shopping mall/going about their daily business. When in actual fact if you take all that away - its just about a man murdering his wife. Big deal. Grow up Netflix and stop patronising us with this s**t all the time!!

It isn't referring to white people! It was in reference to the Moors who inhabited the Mediterranean during the middle ages. They were Arabic. Generally taller, darker skinned and more well groomed than the Italians and Spaniards they ruled over. To be matched with one was considered fortunate because you would have been wealthy and well looked after.
Seeing the phrase always reminds me of Grace Jones! Says an Aspergic 57-yo white man!
I still can't believe the term "millennial" refers to people born way before the new millennia (well, I do, but still).
Is it referring to a white man? Like, wouldn't it be subjective? Who was the first dude described as tall, dark, and handsome? I just remember Pearl from SpongeBob referring to a fish she had a crush on that way.

The big trick with realestate from my experience is buy in a crap area that is next to or near a good area. People have berated me in the past for buying in a such and such area due to old reputation and all I have done is minimal work to make my home more modern and pleasing and have been able to sell for three time as much as I bought after three to four years. I only bought my first house 10 years ago and I am virtually mortgage free now in my mid 40’s. it is not without risk however it is worth it.
Wow! What a house!! My first was 30+ years old, two bedroom,one bath. In our case, the best thing we ever did was "getting out" / selling the house..... Interest rate was 19.8%; we ate ramen noodles, porkNBeans and hotdogs. I didn't know about the dollar tree then. There was no 99 cents store...
Bought my first home at 52. Now I feel ok about having kids, lol! Ok, so the house is my baby...
i've owned a home and it's definitely not for everyone. All i could see was endless upkeep, endless worry, endless expenses, and then the housing market crashed and my house was worth next to nothing. I never even used half the space on a regular basis. Apartment life for me, thanks.
I do love it when something needs fixing in my apartment and I just email the real estate and they send out a workman the next week and it doesn't cost me a cent - that is one bonus of renting, as long as you have a good real estate agent and/or landlord!
