We love salsa and when we eat out it is almost only at a specific Mexican restaurant.  At this point some bussers know us and are the ones who bring us lots of salsa which is literally the reason we go out to eat.  We don’t trust that things are split equally so we almost always hand a 5 separately to them on top of

Percent tipping is the stupidest thing ever developed. I will never understand why the amazing waiter at a cheaper restaurant is getting like 7 bucks when you leave a 30% tip and yet the waiter - who barely did their job - is getting significantly more. I hate the entire concept of tipping. I think it is ridiculous

I personally refuse to believe the kids didn’t know *something* was up and am okay with the kids getting booted.  That being said, vacating the credits?  That is beyond shitty.  If they took the class then they took the class and should be allowed to transfer those credits somewhere else. 

I assumed she meant weary.  As in I have had 3 other marriages and I am tired of them not working out so I need this one to work.

And it isn’t like she was overly spectacular in Mean Girls either, to be honest.

I think she should be required to get her permits. Just because you are rich and/or doing something “zany” doesn’t mean you don’t follow the laws. That being said she should be granted the permits unless is somehow against some statute or whatever.

I think the problem with your example is it is so extreme it becomes like a straw man argument. I have never seen the media call out someone for not using Latinx, I have never seen comedians attacked for not using Latinx, and in personal interactions I have never seen it. Just because there are new words being

I understand language changes and evolves but sometimes it is frustrating to see definitions added because so many people are too lazy to learn the proper meaning.

Did you just decide to pick something out from the air and claim I said it? I said that experts and the CDC itself do not recommend getting tested without symptoms. Possibly because a quick look shows how much issues there are with the blood tests out there. How does me saying what experts recommend and suggest that

A year ago I pulled a muscle and for several days it was so painful and so difficult to snap my bra from the back.  And yet I never thought of the front method. My mom puts her bra on from the front so it isn’t like I haven’t seen it done and yet never even occurred to me as a method.

Big breasted with multiple hooks and I have always hooked it from the back.  Maybe once or twice a year I mess up the hooks and have to fix.  Once you do it it isn’t that difficult.  I have never considered doing it from the front and twisting.  It just feels so wrong.

Yet these “suspicions” only seem to arise when the person is black. I am sure the cop didn’t say, consciously to himself, let me harass a black attorney today. But I won’t be shocked if he gave more merit to his “suspicions” or chose to escalate it because of bias. And that is not okay.

They did have to edit it all down to make it fit into a book so the burning bush told me.

100%.

I was listening to a medical podcast and they were talking to an infectious disease doctor.  He said unless there is active symptoms he does not test for herpes.  I am blanking on the rational at the moment but doubt it was just him, as a specialist, being a dumbass about it.  It is also the advice of the CDC to only

Actually, no, insurance is still going to cover you for you “fun” they just aren’t paying for the vaccinations. Which, really, aren’t that many. You are getting a few additional vaccines that will last years. If you get some kind of illness or trip and break your leg getting off the plane when you arrive home would

This is great!  I have always required partners to get tested (and I do too) but I always had to essentially rely on them telling me the results.  Never thought of doing it that way.

My county, once a month, has low cost testing (like $20) for I think 4 STIs. That includes counseling if you end up having a disease. Sometimes not having insurance in some places is cheaper than having insurance.

Tattoos on older people are often pretty awesome.

Something has to be pretty bad for me not to take advantage of its free status.
