I use FB to promote my music and events that I organize- So, by necessity, a lot of what I post is geared towards the widest possible audience. I don’t post family drama or medical issues or relationship stuff, but if I want people to buy my CD or show up to my next gig, I sort of need to mention things like “I’ll be…

Better hope your real one doesn’t get terminated. I have at least a half dozen friends who had their accounts frozen until they agreed to use their “real” names.

Yes, but from an employer standpoint, this sort of thing is a SERIOUS liability. If you ask about somebody’s age and then hire someone younger, the person who didn’t get the job can sue you because it *looks* as if you made a decision based on it.

He, but yes- If you’re terminated without a proper cause, you can usually collect unemployment. Depending on your job, any severance or benefits may be part of your contract, or even hiring agreement- If they specifically list something as a benefit, they normally have to pay it out unless you’re *fired* fired.…

Yeah- There are a bunch of places pulling that now. I understand if you’re working in the Pentagon or the White House and legitimately need to pass a deep security clearance screening, but anything short of that, just...no.

You can be terminated for lying on an application- Even if it’s something you don’t have to answer. You can answer truthfully, or you can refuse to answer at all, but if you lie and they find out, they can hold onto that if they ever want to let you go without paying your severance.

The last time I went job hunting, fully half the applications asked for your Facebook profile. I can’t for the life of me figure out how this is legal. Seriously- How the fuck is this legal?

Clearly, since they’re still treating this as if it’s an issue with two sides. It’s not. There’s the scientifically verifiable facts, and there’s whatever corporate denial the media pulls out of it’s ass. The two are not equal.

If recognizing that most people are unable to tell the difference makes me elitist, than so…

The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person…

This is deliberately done to keep the kids in line after they turn 18- Because leaving or being kicked out of the family isn’t just losing brothers and sisters, but more like losing your children.

Most of those “language games” boil down to smart people who understand proper scientific terminology trying to figure out how to dumb things down enough for the average American to understand them, without actually changing the meaning- Since many of the terms used have specific meanings that are not interchangeable.

You are clearly a cabbage or something attempting to pass as human. Stop. We’re onto you.

Many years ago, a couple buddies and I worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts on a high traffic tourist beach. We managed to survive the summer mostly intact, but it had still been full of asshole customers.

I’d really like to know what the other gestures were- Because something like:

There are not enough stars to give that.

With a couple notable exceptions. My friend’s daughter has fairly severe autism and will only eat certain things- to a degree that she literally will starve herself rather than eat something with the wrong color or texture.

I really, really try not to be a picky eater, but food allergies.

Their game, their sandbox, they can do whatever they want there.

I’ve been doing night audit for 15 years. I could tell you stories....
