But I must have religious freedom from your government mandate that I not steal priceless historical artifacts from other countries.

Apparently it’s more likely than not that you won’t find a match in your immediate family, which I didn’t know before I looked into registries. Which means a lot of people depend on them to find one.

I’d like to piggy back on this and point out there are bone marrow transplant registries! That you can sign up for for free! They send you a swab kit, you send it back, and if you’re a match for someone in need of one they contact you. There are age cutoffs and guidelines (I think the one I joined said no diabetics)…

This is why we need better education on being an organ donor. There are so many myths around it. I hear people say things like “but then if I’m injured the doctors won’t try to save me,” as if you’ll get mangled in a car wreck and some guy who’s paycheck depends on their mortality rate will size you up when you come…

When I worked in a liquor store I ID’d a guy and when I was looking up his purchase history and couldn’t find it, it turned out he’d changed his last name to take his wife’s. I was impressed, and had never seen that before.

“I, in my expansive study of me and my wife, who are also not low income people working minimum wage and therefore entirely irrelevant to this article, have determined time is not an issue!”

Not to mention poor neighborhoods get shafted with food availability. I did a “food justice” project in college where we surveyed neighborhoods and their grocery stores. My group got a low income neighborhood, and the city I went to school in had pretty shitty public transportation. (The focus group we went to had the…

I’m not Jewish, but this literally reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Krusty the clown had a giant televised bar mitzvah. And the whole premise was his rabbi father found it shameful.

I am 22 and can confirm. We are quite dumb.

This is my objection. These people didn’t start a “she said no” chant after thinking deeply about the impact of rape culture and athlete worship. They just want their stupid sports team to win. And you know, you can’t really be pissed at the NHL for not suspending him when you willingly bought tickets to go to a game…

Yes. Quite clever to start an anti-Patrick Kane chant despite buying tickets to a game you knew he’d be at, in jerseys purchased from the league that supports him. I’m sure all these people give a shit about the alleged victim and wouldn’t dare trivialize a sexual assault for entertainment purposes 3 beers in.

“message they have not chosen” welllll that sounds like a personal problem if the message you chose is factually incorrect.

This. I have a small scar on the side of my face from a surgery I had 10 years ago. It’s faded a lot so this doesn’t come up so much anymore, but when it was newer and I finally got the courage to wear my hair up (you can’t see it with my hair down) PEOPLE WOULD ASK ABOUT IT. I was in middle school so you know it’s…

Rats eat garbage. Rats in New York. Rats everywhere. That is a thing we all know. We only have ourselves to blame for making pizza rat, aka “normal rat doing gross rat things except someone whipped out their cell phone” a big deal in the first place.

I was busy looking at the legs of the woman in the pink sweater. They also look too thin.

I see this as a reason to stop junking up the ocean, not a reason to keep SeaWorld.

The worst was when my dad used to talk about working and being able to pay for college in full with money left over. “I worked all summer and it paid for everything during the school year!” ...I worked all summer and it paid for my books and not much else.

On the plus side, people are pleasantly surprised when they get old stuff re-appraised for insurance and find out how much more it’s worth than when they bought it.

One day I wasn’t there but a guy came in and demanded my coworker sell him a gold engagement and wedding band for $250. She told him that wasn’t possible. He said “well fine, I’ll find someone who will sell it for that much!” GOOD LUCK TO YOU SIR. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU FIND THAT PLACE, HONESTLY BECAUSE I WILL SHOP…

I worked at jewelry store and the customers were the WORST about complaining about things that didn’t cost what they did years ago. You paid under $1000 for your engagement ring in the 80s? Fantastic. Unfortunately I do not control the gold market or inflation, so please control your outrage when your estimate for a…
