When I was in second grade, I went to pick up my little brother from first grade, and the teacher told him in front of me that he should try to be a better student, like his sister, because he’d forgotten his homework that day (and on and on, about how I should let him see my homework from when I was in her class,…

The US women’s soccer team is widely considered to be one of the best in the world - they won the last women’s world cup. The men’s team is... not amazing. They haven’t made the olympics since ‘88, and their last world cup ranking was 15th

These are some really good points - I also want to add, that in a lot of places, it’s the law that you can’t discriminate based on protected classes (Race, gender, medical status, etc.) , and that you can legitimately sue your employer if they foster a hostile work environment. The reason a lot of hostile work…

Important shade court question:

Canada scored against Australia in the first 20 seconds. It was wild

Shit, that’s pretty good for an Instinct Gym!

I was in a small office, and we hired a second Mike, and neither consented to be called Michael. Which I think Old Mike regretted when I tested a variety of nomenclatures, including Old Mike and New Mike, Tall Mike and Regular Mike, Underling Mike and Boss Mike, Canadian Mike and British Mike...

Wolves are pretty smart, so it definitely would have been able to figure out which way the woman wanted to go and to drive her away from it. They are also known persistence hunters, so chasing her for hours on end is also not at all unlikely, so I don’t find either of those things outside the realm of possibility.…

I had to listen to a marching band play it four times yesterday because the yearly parade that goes down my street got held up for some reason.

Not only that, but I assume the zoo keepers knew a heck of a lot more about this individual gorilla and his behaviors than the rest of us. I assume they knew what was aggressive for him, and what was not.

The thing that drives me crazy about this is that I honestly believe Jones, and Feige, and McCarthy, and all the people involved that they thought that she was the best one for the part - that her personality and style of comedy worked for it, and that it was written for McCarthy before Jones joined the cast. And…

This reminds me intensely of a piece in a gallery my friend and I went to see - several galleries around the city were hosting a big exhibition of contemporary Canadian art, and in the first one we went to, I noticed what I thought was a quarter on the floor in the corner of the gallery. Except that it wasn’t a…

At this point in my career, “professionally” to me means no jeans unless it’s friday, no yoga pants, no shorts, and no sneakers. I tend not to wear low cut shirts or short skirts to work either. I’m 90% sure that these are all hold overs from the rules my mother gave me when I started working, though I’ve all but…

I think they were supposed to be filled with oil. My other thought was that tweedle dee and tweedle dum there poured in some jugs of oil on the sly when locking the door.

WHAT

I’m almost afraid to ask, but...

How they name cup sizes vary by region - Past DD, it’s kind of the wild west out there - DDD vs E, and then climbing the rest of the upper alphabet as appropriate. I’ve seen H cups.

I know a lot of people are ragging on you for not understanding the context, but I don’t blame you. At a first look, it really does look like that guy is going to shoot that scantily clad lady in the head, since he’s already finished murdering all those other people. Plus they’ve posed her doe-eyed, staring off into…

Here’s an alternate definition of bullying that dovetails with the article, but might help people who are having trouble distinguishing it from harrasment. Bullying is harrasment that is specifically targeted at your weakness. To harass someone, you need only tell them to die. To bully them, you systematically work…

It’s not like there’s a DNA scanning force field at the door that prevents literally anyone from just... walking in, regardless of their intentions. It’s a public restroom, not a bank vault in the Matrix.
