Jane Austin's novels primarily concern plucky young women having to choose between dashing alt-country singers and earnest Java developers all the while set in the glamorous backdrop of a three hour line-up for BBQ.

"The term "manic pixie dream girl" has become so embedded into our cultural lexicon"

Do you not understand how health insurance works? Car insurance isn't compensation for labor done, it's something you actively pay for. Health insurance is compensation (in addition to your paycheck). And Hobby Lobby refuses to allow health insurance to include the morning after pill or IUDs. This is tantamount to…

How is it that the Supreme Court is aware of Hobby Lobby having previously provided coverage for the very birth control they claim to be so morally against (not to mention their investments and importing from China) and still rule in their favor?

See, this is the kind of bullshit I am tired of hearing. I know this will fall on your deaf ears, but I cannot let this misconception of contraception stand anymore.

As a guy, all I can say is go fuck yourself. If your doctor prescribed you a drug, and your company said they didn't want to pay for it because of dubious, scientifically false reasons, you'd be pissed too.

I don't see a problem with this except he should up the stakes and make it a requirement that he kills the animal he wants to eat at least once. I'm not against meat but I do think that people that eat it should realize what goes into that delicious bacon or pork chop. I'm convinced that if everybody at say the age 12…

I can vouch for everything written here with one caveat. Inmates/patients, are constantly running games on the CO's and especially medical. They will feign illnesses for many reasons. One is that medical and the library are the only two buildings with AC and since they usually are waiting all day for their turn at…

Because my employer compensates me, in part, with health insurance

Does your employer provide health care? Then you're entitled to legal medications to maintain your health. End of motherfucking story.

That's not the point. The SC has just established that corporations have legally-protected religious beliefs.

I desperately, desperately need a Jewish or Muslim-owned corporation to cancel someone's health plan for eating bacon, or a Christian Scientist business to refuse to cover surgery or blood transfusions in the benefits package, or any corporation to refuse to cover boner pills unless the employee can prove he will be…

Former Whole Foods cashier here! It sucks that people are paying more money than they should, but I'm going to lay the blame on inefficient training rather than purposeful fuckery. (Seriously, you can go up to any employee in the store and ask them which bag of cookies tastes better and they'll open up the bag and let…

My justification...in general I don't find Whole Foods that much more expensive than my regular super-market (which is pretty awesome), as long as I buy raw ingredients. For example, the sweet potatoes at my WF are only $0.50/lb more than at my local grocery store. While it is slightly more expensive, they are organic…

I can't speak for your local Whole Foods, but I find the ones in NYC to be very fairly priced. The produce is of a far higher quality than what's at Trader Joes or Supermarkets. Also, there is a far larger selection. As far as packaged food (in my case canned beans, tofu, seitan), the stuff at Whole Foods is much…

Just want to say I've had nothing but excellent service by WF employees. Most are exceedingly helpful.

Ha! I used to work front end at WFM. If you're an asshole, trust me, you paid extra. On the other hand, nice people could get some surprising discounts...

I mean that's exactly why Airbnb is stupid to add this. They've already got governments on their heels for basically running hotels, not merely offering a couch to crash on. This hardly helps the argument.

I'm more against a completely unregulated marketplace.

There is a reason why licenses and inspections and regulations for the accommodation and food service industries were created in the first place. But some people have to do things the hard way.
