People still acting like Tom was taking Sally courtin' and whatnot?
I remain confused about how we allegedly have too many slave narratives yet ppl know less factual history about slavery than they did 20 years ago.
Lmaoooooo "mistress."
Also "Where did you get this (very easily searchable historical) information."
Turning Jefferson and Hemings into a #LoveWins story is the perfect analogy for how America tries to revise the horrific history of enslaving people.

I've been talking to some of my peers about putting together a kind of "boot camp" for people aspiring to entry level and/or exec admin roles, because folks think stuff like this shows drive.
There are three things MINIMUM in this story that tell me he'd be a terrible intern. Image
I regularly have peers looking for assistants or junior people and we all complain about the talent pool. Lots of education, not enough contextual common sense.
1. He didn't know Uber & Lyft weren't functional in Cody, Wyoming. That means he didn't research, nor does he have a grasp on logistics. Didn't consider the world don't move like the D. (Con't)

But it explains SO MUCH about discourse on twitter. Like, so much.
People focused on the sequence of multipliers once they noticed it was 10, 9, 8, etc., while fully skipping over the jump from 6 to 3 that was sitting right there.
Showed me how easily ppl miss the context and/or crux of the situation & make a judgment based on incomplete info.

Nope. Y'all are assuming the numbers on the right stay in sequence, but the numbers on the LEFT break sequence. So it follows that so would the numbers on the right.

People in the replies like "Nah it could just mean don't nobody need to see us together/we ain't supposed to be together" .... like those ain't essentially synonyms 🤔
"People don't need to be in our business..." Unless you all canoodling in the restaurant, what does that have to do with being in a public place together?

The lines between FWB / casual / situationships and sides have all been blurred, bless y'all's hearts.
There definitely seems to be a current philosophy that having sex outside of dating means y'all like... don't talk to each other, don't like each other as people, don't have any normal human interaction. It's weird.

THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE told this girl she made that 5 minute bread rule up, and the below was her response.

I almost gotta admire her sticktoitiveness. I mean she is DEAD wrong and being tacky in her efforts to be faux classy, but at least she's firm. Image
"Restaurants are for socializing; fast food is for eating right away." She ain't never been a single place in her entire fcking life. Bless her heart. Image
That is my sincere prayer, because thinking eating hot bread is beneath you - or that you don't go to restaurants to EAT (while you fellowship) is the kind of empty existence I don't wish on anyone.

My heart breaks for Sha'Carrie, and it was a human mistake, especially all things considered. Olympic level competition unfortunately requires setting aside all kinds of shit we mere mortals do. If the IOC had let her compete they'd have been setting a precedent they can't uphold
The International Olympic Committee is trash on plenty of levels, but this was pretty cut and dry. Weed's not performance enhancing, but it masks other drugs and minimizes muscle and body pain. It's a tough ass lesson to learn, though.
I'm looking at Sha'Carrie's coach and the training team around her, because she should have been prepared, while training for trials, to shift her mindset. And to KNOW they were gonna test her every chance they got. To me, it's a failure on *their* part
