Yeah - except I have certainly been harassed by cab drivers and there is absolutely no recourse (except be nice and hope you get out of the cab with nothing worse than a little verbal harassment). I’ve been curse out by cab drivers for not giving them what they consider an adequate tip. I have argued with cab…

And heaven knows you can’t wear it to work. My work does not have a particular strict dress code, quite casual in fact, but I still have to cover my under garments and be able to do my work. I can’t do that in this shirt.

Oh man I hear you on this. I have a trim figure with pretty average proportions. I’m not “curvy” but I’m also not 10-year-old boy straight... I can buy clothes off the rack. That said, I look best in clothing that is tailored closer to my body. I have a small waist and flat tum. The booty is high and tight, but I…

Normally I’m in favor of more transparency, but I agree this could have unintended consequences. We saw with the election that there are a lot of racists as fuck people in this country, who act on those feelings, but are smart enough to not actually admit to it. If jurors know that their racist as fuck statements…

I’m sure that there are really strong HR professionals out there... but I have never met them. Every single person HR person I have dealt with is just kind of an idiot. I think it is probably because they have zero latitude for creative problem solving and are basically only going to regurgitate company approved…

That was my thought. I live in CA and in 2015 it surpassed France as the worlds 6th largest economy. If France can keep going as a country, I feel like CA, OR, and WA would be like “So let’s just do this thing” and become a country.

Looks like I’m moving back to Iowa... My folks have a nice place there and they have good internet now so I can make it work.

Ok - that may be worse...

Oh I just let it roll - nothing to be done. He lived all the way across the country so we never saw him. It was also after the wedding so it was done at that point. I was just thinking about horrible toasts that all. Though I probably should have taken it as a sign that his brother didn’t really have anything nice…

LAWYERD - LOL I love it. Like I said it’s not something I know a lot about. I think is such an interesting question because there are so many permutations/situations where the logical outcome and legal outcome would not match. The simple case of she calls it off, he says OK, she gives back the ring is cut and dry.…

I know right... At my wedding to my now Ex his brother stood up and gave possibly the worst wedding toast I’ve ever heard. I kid you not that he stood up and basically talked about how great his life was. At the very end he said it was nice that his brother was getting married. It was horrible. I never did like…

I’ve heard that there may be a loop hole that if the ring was given on an occasion such that it could be considered a gift (Xmas, Valentine’s, B-day), the woman (usually) may be able to keep it. My friend is married to a lawyer and he proposed on a random Friday or whatever so that should something go wrong he could…

That’s what I thought. I always thought it was understood that she was never a particularly successful model. I always understood in NYC, Miami, Vegas etc. “Modeling Agencies” that have girls that they hire out for parties... literally just paying to have pretty young things sitting around at your party. A subset…

Teenagers also do not have executive functioning. It’s the final, highest level cognitive function that typically does not really kick in until age 19 to 20 (in cognitively normal individuals). There are several definitions, but it is basically the ability to look at decision, quickly assess possible outcomes,…

I am in your same line of reasoning, something is going to happen so how can we minimize the damage. I live in CA, which is like the 8th largest economy in the world (or 6th depending on who you read). We have A LOT of very powerful business interests. I maintain that when push comes to shove, there is no way…

The Karen character was really fabulous. I loved how she would harass Grace (honey what is this, what’s happening here), how she treated Jack like a poodle (I think she sometimes called him poodle), and just how she was so self involved, but basically harmless. I also like early on how they wrote her in such a way…

First let me say I agree with you 100% that it pretty shitty that they are making this poor woman the scapegoat. She obviously had limited ability to mitigate the situation (for many reasons) and taking into account her history learning issues along with the pretty obvious history of domestic violence - she is a…

And not for nothing - but some sort of unspecified supportive services in middle school is not really a marker of where someone’s final adult functioning is going to end up. I worked for years with kids with disabilities and in my experience has been, in general, those that are on the more impacted end of the…

When I think of all the horrible, horrible, racist, asshole things Mrs. Obama has heard about her (and her kids and husband) I like this. I’m sure there were moments in the last 8 years (or more including the campaign) that she wanted say “fuck it... it’s not worth it.” So I hope she heard these things and realizes…

My brother and family are in DC, federal employees and they are appropriately horrified by Trump and what he could mean for their institutions (both are with science institutions). They just stay away - but I think it would be awesome if everyone in DC who shared their horror made sort of a wink and a nod agreement…
