No, in this case not. I mean, I do (I did) resent being underpaid on both my own behalf and the behalf of BOH. But when a BOH person whined to me (and a number did) about not getting a share of my tips when they had a higher base right of pay to adjust for that already and more opportunities for advancement, I did…

No, not at all. He needed to hear more from me though. I hope people tell him how cops are trash until the end of his days, until he cries to sleep at night.

This is a decade’s old pettiness of mine, but I always resented BOH people who get paid (usually significantly) more per hour and yet still wanted in on tips. My experience is I worked BOH at a mom and pop pizza place where I was often the only person at the table making pizzas (someone else manned the brick oven), I…

You’re already out of the grays so I’m just going to do this: you are a cop, or your dad is a cop, or your [someone] is a cop and you think to yourself... they’re(I’m) a good person because I care about them. But not only are police officers not necessarily good people, if they have even the tiniest inkling of…

Actually, they don’t. In the US if you’re on private property in a space with no expectation of privacy (like a zoo) anyone—including the zoo—can photograph whomever is present.

It’s fascinating that you’ve gotten so few replies to this. Nick makes many good points, but you’re also right.

Bless. Oh, my dude, women—most women—watch porn or participate in other forms of erotic entertainment. All the time. ALL THE TIME.

This reminds me of back when I was an architecture major in college, one of my classmates did a senior thesis project on/set in the Isreal/Palestine border. I wouldn’t call it an anti-Isreal project, but it was pro-Palestinian. During our thesis show review (which was open to the whole department) one professor laid…

I think this was right before spokespeople were legally obligated to disclose Instagram sponsorships (though I could be wrong).

He’s not reacting like an angry child. If you have that impression, that’s on you. I imagine many people think it’s inappropriate for him to respond at all because they believe the things he’s talking about are inappropriate and therefore he should sit quietly or expect backlash. He should not.

AOC isn’t running for president and hasn’t jailed hundreds of people?

On the flip side, the world benefits from knowing. People have false expectations around aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s unless they’ve had to deal with them up close and in person. There’s stigma associated and caregivers very rarely get the support they need.

Not contesting allegations of Michael being the dad necessarily, but those kids could be biracial (or have black ancestry, depending on if Michael himself isn’t the result of some screwing around by Katherine).

A valid point.

Fingers crossed for you!

Tapping into my other fear of being a shitty parent, are you? I’ll handle that with immaturity and mediocre wit in an internet comment section.

I hope your mom beats the shit out of cancer. I’m sure your support and love means everything to her all the time, but especially right now.

Gallows humor for the darkest timeline. :)

I’ve been having trouble getting pregnant (and carrying to term) for the last few years, and I have a hard time thinking about adoption. I’m open to it, in theory, but as you say there are so many practical concerns and it’s so expensive. Plus if I’m honest, I’m terrified of having a child who rejects me when they’re…
