if u ever find a genie and you’re really craving a dessert that looks like this:

do NOT say “i’d like a lifetime supply of raspberry crowns”

while this is, in fact, the name of the pastry, it’s ALSO the name of a species of wasp for some reason. the genie, being a nasty trickster, will no doubt give you a bunch of wasps.

Hasan Minhaj’s segment on the Ellen DeGeneres Show is a powerful teaching moment

“My biggest pet peeve is when people don’t take the time to learn how to pronounce other people’s names, which is why I appreciated a recent segment on the Ellen DeGeneres Show from comedian Hasan Minhaj.

Just a few seconds in, DeGeneres mispronounces his name, and Minhaj corrects her — making the audience laugh along the way. The moment teaches viewers why it’s so important to spend the time and effort to avoid mispronunciations.

“If you can pronounce Ansel Elgort, you can pronounce Hasan Minhaj,” he says.

Later on, he jokes that he uses the name Timothée Chalamet for his Starbucks orders.”

The other day a man came to install my internet in my new house and he told me about his wife. He said her name fast and then said “she usually goes by Mia though” and I thought about this post and wondered if the reason she went by Mia was because of the pronunciation thing. He said people thought his wife’s name was difficult. I asked him to repeat it literally one time, and then I said it. It wasn’t difficult. And then I got mad that I was right, because people shouldn’t have to change their names for the sake of others. I told him “people just need to try harder,” and his face lit up and he said “exactly!” And I think it made his day. This post genuinely helped me in real life make a positive change. A little effort goes a long way

Okay, first? Pay off all your debts. Take out a small loan and pay it off right away.

Buy several hundred vacant houses. Schedule repairs for said houses with reputable contractors and make sizable down payments in advance. Get everything in writing and hang onto those deeds.

Buy a large open parcel of land that is being auctioned for development. And when I say large, I mean LARGE.

Sink millions into paying off people’s Kickstarters / college loans / medical bills / mortgages, and give generously charity organizations. That alone will carry off a lot of money.

Once you’ve got things down to a reasonable level, say $1m, buy yourself a house, furnishings, appliances, and a dependable car. Pay everything off so that you own it free and clear. Purchase about $200k worth of something easy to liquidate (i.e. gold, gems, bonds, stocks). Put the rest onto prepaid credit cards and wait for Monday to roll around.

NOW THE FUN BEGINS.

You now have commendable credit and a shining public reputation.

Fix up and flip those houses, sell them for fair market value or below to families who need them, or create non-profit homeless shelters. (After all, it’s not like you need to “make” money, this is all running on the proceeds from the property sales.)

Sell the parcel of land to developers, or donate it to public works as a park or open space. Have them name it after you.

Retire to your fully furnished home. Liquidate your extra assets, or leave them to appreciate in value for a later date. Make Christmas epic with those gift cards. Keep the extra money in the bank and keep your day job.

And don’t worry about taxes when return time rolls around, because you’ll be able to write off several millions’ worth of charitable donations.

Basically this

This is someone who paid attention in finance class.

Maybe I’m weird but I do not understand dudes who propose and get turned down like….how did you not know she would say no? Like…are people asking out of the clear blue sky? Again, maybe this is abnormal, but my boyfriend and I have had many, many conversations about marriage. Deep conversations and also sleepy pillow talk where one of us whispers “Let’s get married.” and the other one is like “Heck yeah.” We’ve discussed who will take who’s name and the idea of public proposals and the style of rings we like. Maybe you’re not SUPPOSED to talk about all that but…it just seems like it shouldn’t be a total surprise. Like I want to be surprised about exactly when and where but, that’s the only thing I want to leave up to chance.

Like, I feel like if you had no idea your girl would say no, you aren’t ready for marriage anyways.
