I’ve heard a lot of similar comments, and my response is that it’s always been natural for newborns to die of any number of causes. I’m very glad we live in an age where we can expect our children to survive to adulthood. 

I can picture my more “natural” family members’ responses in my head

For me, where my mind wants to bristle against this is that it isn’t “natural”. That somehow a newborn should have everything it needs to survive straight out of the womb. Probably because of my religious upbrining; like, why would a god create…

No, it is that most of them are considered light/delicate in regards to washing. Tossing your gym clothes in with the jeans will trash the gym clothes a lot faster.

I actually used to wash everything together, whites with colors, but I found that over time things like towels and white t-shirts would start looking a bit dingy and gray. Now I wash everything but the whites together, but do a separate white load with regular bleach. It really helps keep the white stuff looking nice.

Brand new things get washed separately in case their colors run.

Sorry, my link was removed in the editing process. There is actually a guy called The Laundry Evangelist https://laundryevangelist.com/ who recommends it, and if you look you’ll see a lot of other pieces on the subject. Tide isn’t even the best recommended product. 

Thank you so much for the ‘Ninja/rock star’ point. Spot on! These incongruous terms show up a lot in ads for admin and PA roles. Jobs in toxic environments always demand subjugation but Ninjas would waste no time in eliminating a bad manager. And watch out for the aforementioned stealth: some employers are very, very…

Pinchot called Denzel “one of the most unpleasant human beings I’ve ever met in my life”

“She tried to use his fame for clout”

Oh come on.  She was talking about a thing while filming the show on a podcast about the show.

He is well known for being a jerk and this site made it all about race.

Didn’t Bronson Pinchot say that Denzel was abusive and one of the most unpleasant human beings he’s ever met in his life and that he spent his income from Courage Under Fire on therapy bills? I’m no huge fan of Pompeo but I somehow trust Balki on this.

On the one hand: It would shock no one to learn that Denzel can be a huge dick. The man’s a tremendously wealthy superstar. Even if it’s just a product of being professionally ‘on’ 24/7, elite tier celebs are ‘not like us’.

That’s exactly how I read it. He has a reputation for being a dick to women on set and elsewhere. I think the author of this piece can’t see past her dislike of Ellen Pompeo to realize Denzel’s statement isn’t the burn she thinks she is.

Does this mean that Denzel is such an asshole that he can’t possibly recall one incident of him being an asshole?

How about “Fuckin eh!”

At a training event for a customer-facing job, I was once advised to never say “no problem” to a customer — it’s two negative words right in a row (which, if it’s like math, they cancel out, but still, you don’t want to send any negativity to your customers). Instead, use “you’re welcome” or “my pleasure” or “you got…

We had a new hire who would ask a question about how to do something.. & then she’d ask it again & again. All without even a pause to take a breath, it seemed. One just couldn’t get a break to answer.

The proper response when someone says, “Thank you” is “You’re welcome”. The improper response is “No problem”.
