Speaking as someone who pretty much fits this description(50 instead of 60) but otherwise pretty spot on, it’s really not necessarily that sad. For me anyway, I realized about the time I turned 30 that while I like the idea of marriage in the abstract, and yes had kids names picked out, wedding dress, etc.. since I…

what do either of those things have to do with her marriage though? are bad actors not allowed to get married? is being perceived as likable by strangers a requirement before the officiant pronounces the couple wed? 

buddy movies always had gay subtext, it’s just that most straight people didn’t notice it.

I’m confused. Is this a midwest thing? Is it a small town thing? I don’t mean the racism, I mean the polite, restrained reaction to it. I literally cannot imagine anyone I know working someplace where this was going on more than one day without snapping and getting arrested for assault if not murder and yep, that…

It’s joke but it’s a warning too. It’s not just about that actual drinking the poison, it’s about not believing or accepting the things people tell you so easily, being vigilant and questioning. I always knew exactly where it came from, I was a kid when it happened and one of my grandparent’s neighbor’s daughters was…

For most corporations it doesn’t work that way. People don’t care if something is a franchise, if your name is on it, they are looking at you.

Exactly. It’s up to you to clearly post/state your policies and to make sure your employees do the same *politely*.

Hey, some of us liked them *because* they were horrible human beings. TBH in some ways it was like wish fulfillment. Most of us in life try not to be horrible and because of that, we often swallow a lot of shit rather than ruining the day. It’s a nice fantasy to not care about what other people think or feel, not…

We have to go boxes so that people can grab breakfast to take with them. We also have trays so they can take breakfast back to their rooms. We are genuinely happy with either scenario. The problem comes when people take 5 plates stacked full back to their rooms or empty the melon bowl every morning or come from their…

I mean I know multiple people, myself included who spent 20 + years at jobs they hated because they were steady and paid the bills pretty well and maybe offered retirement, so doing something that seems pretty incredible in a good way for 25 years? Hell yeah. 

But death is “our” loss, either generally, a loss from the human race, of potential or imagination or kindess or talent, or a specific loss of a relationship.

The Jacob and Queenie recreating Bewitched with a “Darren” that is actually in awe of the magic world portions of Fantastic Beast was wonderful.

The Xanth series also uses it and it’s pretty common usage in the real world too, probably why she didn’t use it. 

you’d think white women would have loved Ted Cruz enough to want Heidi to have that 2nd house in the hamptons, smh. 

I’m really hoping that the trailer leaves out the part where she got her degree but like from a non ritzy school and she’s been actually *doing* the manager’s job for years anyway and just can’t get a promotion, or has a small business on the side consulting or something. I mean lets skip the actual fraud that gets…

this. simple, sweet and everybody moves on. TBH, I’m black, plus sized and older than her and I’d forgotten most of those movies existed so I don’t expect her to know about them necessarily(I’m always surprised by how much people don’t know about their profession...including me). But, when it was brought to her…

agree. Considering most of the behavior exposed on video, this is positively saintly. I think it’s not so much an expectation of privacy as an expectation of decency.

we have 8 and most of these suggestions are impractical with that many. Our two older cats hate the recent strays we took in which means they don’t want to eat with them which means they have lost weight, which is good because they were overweight. The new strays on the other hand are all now piggy. They eat twice a…

I can’t believe he didn’t go with “cut me Mick, cut me!” To which his trainer would have replied “who the hell is Mick?” and demanded a doctor. 

This.  We’ve always been democrats but I did at least have some respect for some republicans, even if our ideologies were at odds but that convinced me that they really don’t care about the people in the country, even their own constituents.
