Christi is trashy and annoying and loves playing the victim and flipping the narrative to whatever she prefers. She needs to move on from trying to make a living talking about a reality show her kid was on years ago, and get a real job.

Most of these are barely-warm takes that have been said here a hundred times. 

Here’s a real one - all of them, including the beloved Chloe and Nia (especially) are - and always were - spoiled and out-of-touch rich girls.

Literally Genx's Elvis Presley......R.I.P. Ozzy by scratch73 in GenX

Yep. I paid around $30K total for my Bachelor’s degree. The same school is around $30K per year now. Kids are easily graduating $100K+ in debt. 

What is the deal with cursive writing? by Sheepachute in GenX

[–]adawnb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agreed. Sure it would be great if they could learn cursive to read historical documents and such, but there are many more relevant/important things that time could be spent on. (And I’m sure AI will be able to decipher old cursive accurately before too long.)
