On Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and 99¢ Only: Comparison Shopping, Who Will Win?

@Komura Hey now, 365 brand soymilk is tasty and only a block away from me, wheres Silk soymilk is 10 blocks away and slightly less tasty. The price points are comparable, too, so it's not like I'm being wildly hedonistic. But yeah, it is a silly place...

On When Your Brain Chemistry Screws Up All Your Relationships (Even at Work)

@blair "it's not just an empty word to make my emotional state sound more "real"" That's not what they're saying. It's specifically NOT an empty word, it's a clinical word that connotates differently than just "depression." 'Depression' being a word that manages to sound both wishy-washy and impossibly heavy, I don't know how it does that. My friends and I call it the derps, if anyone is looking for a new depression term.

On Places I've Lived: 10 Houses in 10 Years in London

Having just got back from a 2-week vacation/grad school interview in London, I have the giddy traveler's urge to tell you, "I can spot most of those on a tube map!" Also, I really liked Spitalfields.

On Anthony Must Have Wondered the Same Thing

The heartless "why couldn't he have just kept his shit together like the rest of us?" line at the end was heartless.

On Open Thread

@frenz.lo I use TaskRabbit to pick up side gigs, and it's been going pretty well. Some cities have a better market for it than others, though.

On You Should Get That Checked Out: Some Considerations

@TARDIStime The government totally gets it: they don't have to shell out time and money on single payer. The citizens who think it would be a treasonous idea to have single payer are A: wealthy enough to have insurance or B: crazy enough to think that the guv'rmint would institute death camps, etc. Soshulism!

On Logan Saw a Dude Steal Some Coffee And Said Nothing And Mike Is Like, That's Wrong

@Kate Dollarhyde@twitter I have to say, I kinda do not trust people who don't swear. It probably makes me a bad person!

On Money and Depression: Telling Your Boss, Or Not

That bit about flexible deadlines was the most true anyone has ever spoken. I kinda "got" depression all of a sudden two years ago thanks to an exciting illness, and while it's never been as bad as it was initially, and I'm medicated for it presently, it's still weird having to learn how to re-navigate life.
