If I have to hear someone talk about the 'public sphere' again I will snap.

I attempted to have a civil argument with a woman on facebook about the term "gender". My mind was completely boggled when she said, "the term gender is a social construct formed by the government to keep people down, and we need to overthrow the government right now." Do people like this really exist? How the fuck do you go through every day thinking like that? I mean I guess more power to ya' if you want to believe that government is solely around to beat you down. 

 

Also, I'm really really sick and tired of people being so offended by every little fucking thing. We [as a people] need to realize that not everyone else thinks alike, and maybe we should be a little more pliable when speaking with each other on all fronts.

 

I'm also getting real sick of these so called "feminists" who have the "all men are evil" attitude. Seriously fuck off /endnonsensicalrant

Oh I have really bad gas.

Every year, it's always a sad time when Halloween ends. My friends and colleagues get on with their usual busy lives and it'll be a while before I can see them again. But it's always just that, a little sad. But this year is hitting me really hard in the face. On top of that, there's no school projects - all my classmates are busy with their internships while mine only starts in January. So I'm going from stuffed with activities and social interaction over the past 3 months to complete nothingness, staying at home alone until January. No classmates, no colleagues, no friends. The coming months are going to be really hard

Feminism had good intents when it was the suffragette movement, the first and second waves, but now its main concern is pseudo-science and mansplaining instead of real issues.

Well put. Because of what you said these 3rd wave (if you will) feminists wonder why they get made fun of, and no one takes them seriously.

I've only been at my new job less than a month, and I'm already considering my next job move. I need a company that provides health insurance, cause that stuff is expensive!

[Frizzle]

How much does health insurance cost the average American?

I looked at some European countries that offer full NHS style treatment and its roughly $150 a month for most of them.

Mine was $280/month basic coverage.

[Susie]

On the marketplace, with no company help, the cheapest I could find was $180/month and that was a $6,000 deductible. Anything decent is over $250+ per month.

The crazy thing is that I make below the limit to get a government subsidy, but it tells me I qualify for a $0 subsidy. Good health insurance should not be 1/6 of my take home pay.

[Frizzle]

What does basic coverage cost and the $6,000 deductible means you have to pay the first $6,000 for any treatment right?

I get irritated quite easily sometimes.

Yes, you pay $6,000 before insurance helps out on paying for anything.

That's fucking stupid.

My job provides mine as part of my "compensation package" and it's something to the tune of $475 a month and I think the coverage sucks. I literally never go to the doctor for anything.

It makes me want to hug and kiss the next NHS building I see. Shit, I don't even use the NHS but it's a good safety net if you get stabbed/get herpes.

Health insurance is such a fucking rip off here. I'm really grateful that I have amazing health insurance through the military. Too bad I'll lose it when I get out in 2018, and I'll hopefully move to Europe after that.

i've gone nearly 4 months without eating any junk food. I'm 3 lbs away from my next weight loss goal, but right now all I want is to eat an entire big bag of nacho cheese doritos.

I'm so glad I don't have anything like that in my house. I guess I'll nibble on a cheese stick instead. Holy mother of urges right now.

TRJE15 is practically over, and I can't wait for Mancave to get home and tell me everything about it. I feel I can let the tiny envy I've been feeling about it to let go and give room to excitement. Part of me wanted to be there so bad I've been in physical pain these last weeks. I've been dragging my ass around, feeling sorry for my shitty self for leaving that life years ago, but damn it, now all I care is to see that man walking throught that door and tell me everything is to tell about it. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about anything!
