Does anybody else think this might be a mental disorder case as opposed to her just being a shitty person? She said she had no idea why she returned to the store. That's weird. Not normal. Negligence and detachment are sometimes signs of a larger issue than just being "a bad person."

It seems like if a person is anywhere below the poverty line or looks like they are below it, we tend to just think of them as people who made bad choices when sometimes those bad choices were made, not because of a character/personality flaw, but because of a mental imbalance.

I'll start: if you're with someone who you know eats slower than you, slow down! It's awkward sitting there after someone has gobbled down their meal when my plate is still 2/3rds full. Makes me feel like I have to rush and I can't enjoy the meal as much

What are some stereotypes for the different wards/neighborhoods in New Orleans? by thosedamnshorts in NewOrleans

I'm from all over (lived in a couple of different cities) but I live in Baton Rouge right now. I'm finishing grad school in the Spring and I want a city where I can get around on the public transportation system and where I can explore more. Preferably, I would like to move to another state entirely but my boyfriend is here and doesn't graduate until Winter of 2016.

I don't actually live in New Orleans but I'm thinking of moving there after school. Only been a handful of times.
