The problem I see with retail, is that they are in competition with online storefronts, but they NEVER try to capitalize on what makes them different and then simply complains that online stores are making things hard for them.

This simply shows that the people running those companies have NO CLUE about what people…

Single staffing a retail store is dangerous and stupid. Especially when that single employee is there for nearly 12 hours. Good for her. Your life is worth more than a pittance from a company that doesn’t care about you in the slightest.

For this year, IBonds are a good idea.  Indexed to inflation, they’re going to have a near 10% return, zero risk, cashable only with the loss of 3 mo. interest. $10K max per year per IRS filer. 

I’m also a person who has zero awareness of fashion trends. I wore jean shorts unironically until 2008 or 2009 because no one ever told me I wasn’t supposed to be wearing them. It wasn’t until a company outing to a baseball game when a coworker expressed his shock that I was wearing “jorts”; that was also the first…

It should be illegal for any non-individual entity to own a single family property. Fuck these corporations for trying to price gouge people on one of the cornerstones of basic human existence.

They might prosecute the sources if they can catch them, but as long as ProPublica didn’t fuck it up like the Intercept those sources are probably somewhat safe and hard to find.

I wish people would go back to understanding that “gaslighting” is a specific phenomenon, and what 99% of what people describe online as gaslighting is a 1-2 combination of remembering things differently, and the other party lying to themselves to feel better about past them. I had a friend who regularly rewrote past…

it sure as hell makes cutting the cord a whole lot more of a headache for users who actually do subscribe for their sports.

That’s not fair! Sometimes they “downplayed” it and “minimized” it.

Except she is touting it like it’s her daddy’s administration that achieved it. Even though Trump from day one of his presidency has tried to walk back emission standards and walk away from environmental treaties. Plus like the author points out the reason they are down, which she callously glosses over, is because…

OK, care to take a guess at what her intended message was then with this tweet? Perhaps highlight how horrible the shutdowns have been for the oil and gas industry? Come on. 

Oh please. You’re well within your rights to defend the poor innocent Ivanka but we’re not living on planet The Trump Family Deserves the Benefit of the Doubt.

Another way of looking at the study results is that the stupidest people believe they've had COVID, even without a positive test. 

Thanks. I am very aware of the separation of powers and of who in the government is constitutionally responsible for which aspects of policymaking. I am also aware of how the modern American government actually works. There is a reason that the Affordable Care Act is commonly referred to as “Obamacare” even though it…

Where are you getting your information from or are you extrapolating the data to the population?

But also, maybe people will finally take this epidemic seriously. If Donald Trump has to get sick and die for his supporters to start wearing their fucking masks when in public, it’s a sacrifice worth making.

this is actually a common misperception about what “ironic” means, as illustrated by Alanis Morissette. in this post i will-

Little ditty about Carol and Daryl
Two American skids growin’ up in the Zombieland
Carol’s gonna be a TV star
Daryl greases up the backseat of Carol’s car

Suckin’ on deer jerky outside the ruins of Sanctuary
Daryl’s cryin’ in Carol’s lap
She’s got her hand between his knees
Carol says, hey, Daryl
Let’s run off away…

Considering Daryl doesn’t exist in the comics and Carol died in the comics, the show doesn’t have to worry about the story of the comics too much.

They don’t care about mistreatment of Muslims in China. They care about “scoring points” against China.
