I applaud their commitment to authenticity by having a former president played by a former actor

Counterpoint: you don't need to make a case for sleeping with stuffed animals. You're a goddamned adult, sleep with whatever you wanna sleep with.

Correction, we're back on the road in about ten hours.

I'm not a praying man, but boy oh boy am I praying for clear roads as I shoot an interstate-only beeline for Cali (which is gonna suck, but I'll have my fun times later; right now I need to get home for the holidays).

I suppose it's better than how they used to do it

It helps that I had one and wasn't lying, but honestly I could've just as easily forged a screenshot if I wanted.

This probably works with buying, too.

As someone who spent much of his high school career being called "Ricca suavé," I feel this post.

Damn you, Gerardo.

I'm sorry but how do you spend a decade aware you are 100% financially reliant on someone and then act surprised when you finally realize—after they leave you—that it left you vulnerable.

Also, stop fucking filming while driving, you reckless asshole.

I do feel for her. And maybe "stupid" is a little harsh. But the tradwife movement is such an obvious con that to me it's like investing with Bernie Madoff in 2009. So it fills me with ire when someone is all "But I didn't know!"

Baby how? In the year of our lord Twenty Twenty-Five, how?

If the video had been, "I knew I was taking a risk, but I loved and trusted him, and he betrayed me," it'd have been another thing completely.

But it was "I spent ten years subsisting on his credit cards and his generosity. Why did no one tell me I was financially vulnerable?"

That's the stupid part. The whole "Nobody prepares you for how financially vulnerable you are."

Baby, we been knew. We ALL been knew. And even if you somehow didn't know prior, you had ten years to figure it out, and now you're acting like it was a big secret? Really?

It's not the 50s anymore. Barring extreme circumstances, women fully have the ability to find some measure of financial independence.

But that's not the issue here (for me). The issue is she was in this arrangement for ten years and it only dawned on her that she was dependent on him when it ended.

She spent ten years relying solely on his credit cards and his income, and at no point in that decade did she think to herself "Huh, I'm entirely financially reliant on this guy. If something happens, I'm screwed."

And then, when it does happen, she's all "Why did nobody tell me?"
