Qi comments:
The way this lady has phrased her "looking for work" request reveals a lot about her mental capacity. Specifically, she's said "Located in Southern California."
Now, to people who live in Rhode Island, that may seem like an adequately specific directive. But California is big. Really big. Especially on the Y axis. It's big in the way that the national debt and Kanye West's ego are big. It's big in the way that Bob's Bitch **** in Fight Club were big.
Depending on who you ask, "Southern California" covers the region extending from the Mexican border all the way up to San Luis Obispo and Bakersfield. We're talking about a land-area of over 40,000 square miles. That's larger than some European countries.
And don't think that the traffic in SoCal is light, either.
Unless this lady owns a helicopter, which seems unlikely, she's gonna have a bad time commuting to a job in El Cajon if her definition of "Southern California" is Pomona. As in "You literally will spend every waking hour of your life either at work or in your car. No sleeping. And your entire paycheck will go into your gas tank."
So, yeah. Some people get what they deserve...

Why We Need Gender Neutral Language for Abortion Access - Everyday Feminism
Do you think only women need access to abortions and reproductive healthcare?
That’s the common assumption – and it shows up in so many conversations about reproductive rights.
But the truth is that there are transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people who need abortion access, too – and society’s assumptions about gender are making that really difficult.

So, chicks want to be dudes but then decide they want to sleep with dudes and end up getting knocked up. Does that mean they wanted to be gay dudes? Or were they just ***** who liked to play dress-up and look like dudes?

It's so funny on so many levels.

Maybe we should have someone read war of the worlds and see how many millennials get victimized by it.
edit:::: I should point out that I consider pretty much any habitual "twatter" user a millennial.

Twitter's just a medium like anything else. You can follow a bunch of vapid people and perpetuate the nonsense, sure.
But I like it. I follow some writers and comedians I like, a bunch of sports news/updates accounts, handful of people I know personally, and that's about it. And since the "famous" people I follow are not really famous people, but more like regular people who have actually done something cool, they actually run their own twitter account and interact with people! I can ask them a question or make a comment and they will respond and carry on a conversation. I like that aspect of it.
Also, I have a weird thing where in 2011 I was watching an episode of Cops and a guy's name appeared on screen and I tweeted about it...and my tweet has been the top Google result for that name for the last 6 years. So every couple of months, whenever that episode of Cops re-runs, I get a handful of likes and retweets and replies from people who are watching the same episode.

If you ever wonder why all the kids today are confused, it's because we confuse them:
Menstruation-themed coloring book wants you to stop blushing about periods
Menstruation-themed coloring book wants you to stop blushing about periods
Now, Toni and an accompanying cast of menstruation-themed friends are starring in a 20-page coloring book called The Adventures of Toni the Tampon, illustrated by Clemmer. And it's all an effort to destigmatize menstruation for the masses.
...
Yes, Sebastian the Sponge is a man. And, yes, men do get periods.
"I'd rather help just one genderqueer or trans menstruator feel like they were seen, than sell a thousand copies..."
In fact, Toni the Tampon isn't a female character either. Clemmer created the tampon, who goes by a gender-ambiguous name, as a form of representation for genderqueer people with periods. The artist was intentional about bringing diverse gender representation to the book's cast of characters, hoping to create something that was "affirming to all menstruators."
Clemmer admits the decision to include genderqueer and transgender characters undoubtedly makes the coloring book harder to market in a world that largely believes only women get periods. But risking profits and popularity in the name of inclusivity and accurate depiction was more important to the artist.
"I'd rather help just one genderqueer or trans menstruator feel like they were seen, than sell a thousand copies only to reinforce the boundaries society draws by gendering periods in the first place,” Clemmer says.

FEMALE STUDENT HAS SEX WITH DRUNK MALE. GUESS WHO GOT ACCUSED OF RAPE & EXPELLED…
A male student who was expelled from Drake University after a woman took advantage of him while he was drunk and later accused him or raping her is now suing the institution for failing to rectify the situation.
According to Reason.com, the incident took place on October 8, 2015. The male – referred to in the case as “John Doe” – met with the female (Jane Doe) at the campus bakery after midnight.
Both had been to house parties that night. In his lawsuit, John claims he was heavily intoxicated after consuming large amounts of beer and whiskey.
In her complaint to Drake University, Jane alleged she was also drunk. Investigators subsequently found she was exaggerating and witnesses refute her claim that she was stumbling while going to meet John.
