On the State of PoliticsI'm what you might describe as a "bleeding heart liberal." My biggest issue is health care. I work in insurance, and I talk to so many people in poverty on a daily basis that are struggling with healthcare. It's heart-breaking. So politically, I'm... See More »

So the Shein web ad showed me this pic... I hate how well they know me. Do I need to buy that Goth lace trip top? If I do, my body will automatically become thin like her's, right? Isn't that how it works? 😂 (2)
