Probably because Woody Harrelson did the same lame(ish) bit on SNL earlier this year?

Also, seizures can just happen. I have a family history. They can also be caused by drugs and alcohol though.

. . . seizure resulting from what? It’s not like natural causes are causing these dumbass deaths. Plus, a xxxtenacion tribute song titled “Legends” kiiiinda gives me a knee jerk reaction about this headline of “Thaaaaat’s a shame.” Maybe this current group of super young, violent, drugged out, women beating, child

I’m not an actor, but I think his sense of insecurity is probably at least partially warranted. Not because we associate his face with this stupid ad. But because casting directors may balk at the implicit association. Given that being the type of commercial actor this guy is requires the advanced skills of being

That’s funny, mentioning the Jenner/Kardashians is banned in my house.

That’s awful. I remember as a teenager at my summer job, we occasionally had to process transactions with a debit card that was essentially WIC and/or SNAP. The first time I had a customer use this type of payment, I royally fucked it up on the card scanner by pushing the wrong classification button and had to call

WIC can be weirdly specific, too. I was behind a woman trying to use it to buy a gallon of milk, but it would only cover the generic brand. Which the store was out of, so it’s supposed to cover the next cheapest brand, but instead of just ringing it up, they took ten minutes to call a manager and check inventory. WE

I did some volunteer work with immigrants, and it was the first time I had to actually read WIC coupons (grew up on WIC but was too young to understand it all). They are so damn specific, it’s insane. I felt like an ass because I held up the line by choosing the wrong baby food (couldn’t be a “medley”, had to be just

If they had their way, everyone on food stamps would have to smear soot on their faces and walk around in a gunny sack.

I know this is directed at Jason Derulo, but really the world would be a much better place if all guys took this advice to heart.

No one cares about your boner

I disagree about mention of Wainwright—I don’t think she needed to be mentioned here any more than she was. I am firmly in the camp of the married party being the one who bears the brunt of the responsibility, and the issue at hand is how he acted. The biggest thing to me is that he’s co-opted his “good husband,

Complain to their manager.  Every time you see it. 

I was so happy when my state moved to cards for WIC. No more judgy cashiers taking forever. Could even use self checkout if I wanted! It was amazing.

The same people who look down on WIC and SNAP being used in the grocery stores are rocking Support The Troops bumper stickers on their cars not realizing that active duty military are paid so poorly that they are qualifying for WIC and SNAP at higher rates than “those people” who are getting it now...fucking heartless

The majority of the WIC cards at our local grocery are used by young MILITARY families. What a disgrace that as a country the pay of our bravest doesn’t put food on the table for families.

It’s also that WIC is an intentionally broken system. Ideally, it’d be overseen by DHHS, but it’s not. My students are surprised when I tell them it’s the fucking Department of Ag. Most of my students have been on WIC in one form or another. When you’re focused on how it’s feeding you, you’re not paying attention to

To me that’s a training and store leadership issue that won’t be solved by separating the WIC folks into their own line. All that will serve to do is marginalize people who are probably already embarrassed about having to use WIC.

They convince “taxpayers” that it’s actually the poor who are ripping them off and that vindictively severing a valuable and needed service is an altruistic act, as they’re “lowering your tax burden” AND forcing those lazy deadbeat layabouts to get jobs and “contribute to the economy” so they can pay taxes of their

I hate people who make faces at the people using their WIC or SNAP cards in the store. What entitles them to judge what poverty should look like? If they had their way, everyone on food stamps would have to smear soot on their faces and walk around in a gunny sack.
