'Incredible': Internet stunned by Erika Kirk's 'slip of the tongue' on Charlie's 'grift'

Topic aside, I really dislike "articles" like this and I've noticed a lot of them lately. I know it's well-known at this point that the bar for what passes as journalism these days is depressingly low, but like c'mon. This article is literally just, "Erika Kirk said this thing at this place. Now here's a few quotes from random Twitter users".

It feels like a few essays I handed in at school when I did 0 research and spent no effort, and just wanted to turn something in to get the teacher off my ass.

Anon is rude at work

Reply in thread

I fall into "rude coworker" territory, but have managed to do really well in my career. Different groups at my company have requested me to move to them, was just promoted to Expert in my software product, and actually just got offered a job with a 30% raise by one of the clients I work with (which I ultimately accepted and start next month).

My secret is that I'm a hard worker and I'm very thorough with everything I do. I take mentoring others seriously, and although I'm not naturally a very patient person, I am always patient with my coworkers and clients.

You don't have to be good at socializing to climb your way up, but you do have to make up for it by actually being good at your job.

My sister-in-law did something similar after my brother drowned and it made a traumatic experience even worse, somehow.

She made money, collected attention, and built her music "career" off of it. Her debut song was at my brother's church funeral (he was an atheist).

Fuck this type of person.

It's the company that counts

My husband and I designed and (literally) built our own shower. It was a bitch, but worth it because it made us think about things like this. It's a nicely sized space split with a bath tub and shower. We've got a big waterfall shower head fixed at the center of the ceiling in the shower area, then a separate hosed shower head where one would normally place one. Then the other far end of the shower is slightly dryer with no direct water.

Kicks ass for having shower sex. Also great for just shower and/or bath time together to vent/chat in the middle of our work day.

The Trump Administration's $3 Meal: 'A Piece of Chicken, a Piece of Broccoli, Corn Tortilla, and One Other Thing'

Reply in thread

As a half Mexican who grew up with my Mexican family, spent a lot of time in Mexico, and has celiac disease (meaning I cant eat flour), I actually disagree. It makes me sad that I cant eat flour tortillas anymore - especially because my grandma's home made flour tortillas were the fucking bomb.

That being said, street tacos only belong on corn.

50/50 chance this is a shit post

Reply in thread

An excellent question. I suppose it depends on the type of shit. Is it an easy-going stroll in the park? Probably wouldn't bother to drop 'em below the knees. The kind that makes you pray to any god that might hear you? My panties are off, my shirt is off, and my dignity is gone. Hope that helps

Most could work on anyone really

I'm actually a little surprised at the reactions in this thread. When I read this, I was thinking of my husband and friends I could casually drop these lines on, and it's something we'd all laugh about. I guess I just wasn't thinking of someone using any of these lines sincerely or maliciously, and idk I didnt get the vibe that OP is just a straight cunt that hates men. But I could be totally wrong.

At any rate, somewhere in the thread below, u/wonderingwanderer created an alternate woman ragebait list, and that shit was hilarious as well. My personal favorite was "Act your weight".
