Example: I asked my very rigid boss if I could leave an hour early for a doctor’s appointment. She told me to take an hour of sick time along with a reminder that the work day is 9-5. Okay then. A few weeks later, she asked me an urgent question on Saturday of a three day weekend. I responded to her first thing…

I agree with Natalie’s original statement. I think what rubs me the wrong way about Jessica touting her virginity while wearing a bikini is the implication that a woman’s sexuality exists to be enjoyed by everyone but her.

I’m working the booth at an event a few weeks back, and as happens, I start some small talk with a man and a woman at the booth next to mine. It’s your basic stuff: where do you work? How old are your kids? How do you like your job? Etc.

It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

Honestly, the thing that aggravates me the most about this is that I really thought that she was smarter than this.

I’ve probably posted this before, but I love it and it cheers me up when I contemplate the wasteland that is dating

I’m not defending his statements—he also apologized for the various tweets around that time. Personally, he has taken ownership of and responsibility for his statements. We have to figure out a way forward from this kind of stuff. No one is perfect...and some people actually are sorry for dumb things they’ve said in…

Gunn addressed the jokes a while ago though, apologized, deleted the jokes, and didn’t make more.

So... What is up with this, I’m wondering.

Much worse. With your ACA plan, you have to pay until you reach your high deductible but then it covers everything above that. These won’t cover the things you really need insurance for.

Exactly. Now if they companies who produce those containers and bags had to pay for the disposal or recycling of them, it could get interesting. It might force them into using biodegradable plastics or less plastic all-together.

Anyone else feel like scheming asshole soul-less corporate bosses feel emboldened to treat their employees *even worse* with cheeto in office and the state of the world as it is?

driving you to stress and bleak thoughts?

There’s a huge feminist movement behind this. Their main arguments of sexual education so we can decide, contraception to not have an abortion, abortion to not die have resonated. They haven’t watered down their demands either, legal, safe, free abortion is the demand. It’s going to be a tough one in the senete but up…

Ireland, then Argentina. I’m going to allow myself to be happy for a moment (and forget that Trump exists).

Aw, they’re so happy.

It’s worth noting that this data comes from an Uber investor.

I’m getting tired of saying this. It. Is. NOT. An. Age. Thing. I’m not saying that because it’s ageist, even though it is - I’m saying it because if you keep looking for the grey hairs you will never find the perps.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants children and teachers.

So, I guess I’m a more private or reserved person, but I feel about doing MDMA with my friends the same way that I felt when my friend asked me to be in the delivery room while she gave birth: I don’t really want to know you that well.

YES. The smell from my downstairs neighbor smoking weed at night literally wakes me out of REM sleep. Sometimes I have to go sleep in the living room to get away from it. It’s infuriating.
