I mean, you’re welcome to have that opinion, but that doesn’t actually change the law. I’m not sure if you really know how pregnancy works given your description above, but even if you hired someone and they *immediately* became pregnant (or found out that they were pregnant), they would still be able to work for 6-9…

it’s actually illegal in the US in an interview to ask if someone is pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant.

I’ve been calling it, “Multiplicity, but make it dark”

When I was 10ish, I was walking somewhere crowded with my (super tall, broad shouldered) brother and people would make space for him, but not me. And I kept moving to make room for other people to walk past me and apologizing every time, until my brother pulled me aside and he said, “when you’re walking, people move…

seriously. I was in a situation once where it was me and one other younger guy in a row, no one in the middle seat for an 8 hr flight. And I thought, hell yes, this is going to be great! Lo and behold, some woman “didn’t realize” that she had to book a full seat for her child who was like, 3 years old, so the flight…

The “of” is included/implied already in the word “comprise.” So then if you say “comprised of” what you are really saying is “the team is made up of of players of all skill levels”

It really took me a minute to realize that that image is john stamos and not jim carrey

Obsession with accents in general is mine. Some voices sound nice, and I get being attracted to a voice and maybe that voice is accented, but I’ve dated men before who positively coo over any woman with a british accent and then they try to do some fake cocky-by way of Dr Who-mixed with the Crown bullshit to be “sexy” …

Your last paragraph is what took me from being a person who worked out a lot for 1 week and then nothing for 2 months to someone who works out 6x a week, no matter what. I got an exercise bike, threw it in a back room, and put a small tv near it. Now I have 0 excuses: the equipment is right there and I can watch 30-45…

I love this, congrats on hitting 1 hr! I do a lot of yoga, and usually they ask you to make up a mantra for your practice. A while back I struck on one that I really like and have been applying to my whole life: “strength through consistency”.

If I’m ever having a hard time, I just remind myself that the consistency of…

Great video! I’m also cautiously optimistic given all the same reasons you mentions here, along with this:

I don’t know yet! but luckily Soma and Laughing Planet are still here.

Oh, I am just an idiot - it’s not closed for good but it moved out of the downtown location near Soma!

Cactus Flower just closed! :(

I think what’s missing here is a discussion about the relative socio-economic levels of everyone involved. When all of the parties I threw were with coworkers/other friends with jobs, I would absolutely leave the bottle of wine & expect people to leave the bottles of wine if they came to my place. However, in grad…

you should wait until the pan gets hot, add the oil, and then in about 20-30 seconds it should “shimmer” and that’s when you can start cooking.

I’m going to go with 100% derogatory. Pretty sure the only other place I’ve ever heard that phrase is in “Song of the South”

Yeah, it’s upsetting that all of that history is relegated to the slave quarter tours becauase (1) not everyone takes those tours and (2) this plantation wouldn’t exist without slaves and they were a part of daily life, so it’s a disservice to everyone to act like somehow the two things can be kept separate. We’ll…

I went on a really great tour of Monticello last year where the guide directly called this out, and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. There were children on the tour, so he was still a little euphemistic, but he did purposefully point out the power dynamic and how Sally Hemmings had no real choice in the…
