Boston and DC both have municiple populations under 700k. Buffalo is only 250k.

Juice is juice. It’s not really nutritionally different than soda. It’s like you’re splashing ginger ale in her drink. Yes, she’d rather have juice but she’d also rather have cookies for dinner. Just because she has a preference doesn’t mean you have to accommodate it. She’ll be fine if you just give her water.

I’m a white teacher. I teach at a K-12 school with zero black teachers. The number of times I’ve been told I’m over reacting, it’s “not a big deal,” or “that’s not a problem here” is infuriating. I work in a super liberal area and a lot of teachers seem to really believe that if they hold progressive political views…

It’s a side affect of the shrinking middle class. People are buying fewer clothes and spending less on the clothes they do buy. Most of my clothes come from L.L.Bean or Target. I believe Old Navy is doing well despite their plummeting quality and quality control.

Costco has a good reputation how their employees are treated.

That might just because you’re the one who “moved away.” I have a toddler and I’m due to have a baby next week. My family and my husband’s family both fully expect us to come to them even though it would be much easier for them to come to us.

The key is to speak up and communicate with your partner. The division of labor that you have for the first few months will most likely stick so you have to make sure you talk to your spouse about expectations. My husband did 75% of the housework for the first 3 months or so. That’s what felt fair and kept me sane.…

The cost of renovations vary a lot because of things you can’t see. Updating wiring, moving plumbing, removing load bearing walls, and labor intensive demolishion could add tens of thousands of dollars to the renovation even if the end result looks the same. I suspect some the variation on Fixer Upper also has to do…

Because if an American engineer with a masters would make 100k they can pay a South Asian engineer with a Phd 50k.* If the company can get away with it why would they do anything different? Being paid below competitive wages doesn’t mean minimum wage. The engineers on H-1Bs have no leverage once they realize how…

I assume because people don’t click through. They don’t click through to sources in the main article, no way are they following links in the comments.

Yes, I can read. It would have been unusual for a parent to seek therapy for their child in that situation in the mid-90s. It’s easy to forget that in hindsight.

I was 9 when my dad died. I was in grocery check out today and there was a magazine cover about Heath Ledger’s death. I felt bad for his daughter. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to go through life having images of your deceased parent in surprising places.

Really? Parents of 30 somethings? I think you’re hugely underestimating the stigma against therapy, especially in Charles’ generation.

The yam and sweet potato are actually two completely different plants. The names are sometimes used interchangeably now but they’re not even related. There were no sweet potatoes in Mongolia.

Chances are that exchange happened in Rhode Island since she teaches at Brown.

Huh, I went to a fairly conservative Catholic college and we were required to take 4 philosophy classes.

1. The death penalty does not work as a disincentive. No one is proposing that these men should be released into society.

I am disappointed. I agree 100%. That’s not nearly as much fun as telling you how wrong you are.

None of that explain states like Maryland and Massachusetts electing Republican governors.

Ooh that’s good to know! The nearest Workd Market is over an hour away but there’s an Aldi nearby.
