When it said "grinder", I thought they meant like a hoagie.

(Reading headline) How stupid would you have to be to do that?

I'm 100% gaijin and went to elementary school in Japan. As a white foreigner, I was both excluded and revered at the same time. The kid in my class who was half and half was bullied beyond belief because he was neither "pure" nor foreign enough. It's really hard to be mixed race in Japan..or Korean...or Brazilian…

Seriously - I get freaking sick and tired of hearing people complain about how they never use all that math they were forced to learn in school. If tipping (or not-tipping, as the case may be) is the only time you use percentages, then your life is an endless wasteland of nothingness (possibly a slight hyperbole).

How many times can it be said that if you can afford to eat out, you can fucking afford to tip? Not enough times, apparently. Jeebus. I love to tip. I loooooove it. I feel frickin' righteous about it. Sometimes, I tip my barista FIFTY percent, btw, even though she or he has spent a mere 60 seconds on my dirty chai tea…

A more nuanced version of her argument would also include something saying that the employer is obligated to adjust any wages up to the minimum hourly if the server's combined tips don't reach it. To which anyone who's worked in food service at all can just laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

You truly are the vox populi. The people in the comments called upon you and you answered. Bravo!!!

For really real though? Some kids really are gifted. Some kids really are more intelligent than the others. In the school board I grew up in, all kids get tested with the same test in public school regardless of demographic and gifted classes happen or don't regardless of parental pushing or how much they believe their…

So they can recruit you.

There's always one in every family. Or possibly three, if we're talking Duggars.

Tom Hanks collecting typewriters is something he has talked about before. And actually, I don't think that is such a bad hobby at all. Typewriters are complex analog machines that sort of defined an era (not just of office work!). I still use a typewriter when I write to my grandma and she gets a kick out of it.

It turns out that Hanks is a big typewriter collector. He initially went to the store to have his son's typewriter repaired, but he ended up buying two vintage Smith-Coronas.

Yes, I feel the same way. It hits me not just as aesthetically ugly, but viscerally ugly. When I saw those Alexander McQueen lobster claw shoes for the first time, I thought "That person hates the human body." To me, it shouts about a twistedness deep inside, a fundamental discomfort with the actual human form.

those kinds of shoes actually always really bother me on some kind of deep an fundamental level. It brings me back to a wierd place in history where it wasn't just about transforming the shape of a woman's foot and leg aesthetically through the shape and form of the shoe, but quite literally transforming the shape of…

Clapping wildly over here.

What I find so ludicrous (or one of the 900 infuriating things about this I find ludicrous) is there are so many things the FBI does take seriously that are objectively less crucial. Any one who could even maybe kinda sorta be a terrorist, no matter how flimsy our evidence? Let's follow through. Women getting doxxed…

Kardashians source their eyelashes from cruelty-free tarantula leg farms.

What Is His Obsession With Title Case? I Don't Understand And It Haunts Me.

As a teacher, I really don't understand administrators and other educators who cover up for child abusers. We have a responsibility to protect our students. If the reputation of your school is more important than the kids in said school, you're a shit educator and s shit person.
