Not just British people. I know a lot of people that drink a shitload of tea, me included. If it’s old enough that it won’t throw me into a hot flash, I can easily do three or four 12 oz cups in an 8 hour period at work.

reading and writing are two different skills. I can read basic Spanish pretty well(...eg things like signs, notices, instructions etc...) because it uses pretty much the same alphabet, I know or can extrapolate a lot of basic vocabulary in context and I understand the sentence structure but that doesn’t mean that I…

as someone who works at a hotel, I have no problem with the screen checking and the verifying and the not taking the # from you(hell naw, that’s the number one rule to avoid fraud).

I would absolutely watch that movie though

this is the reason I stopped using my Neti pot. I was upstairs and too lazy to go downstairs to get distilled water then come back up and use it. I was using tap water until I heard this was possible.

Trump isn’t fit to be compared to a single character you named. Hell he isn’t f it to suck the toenail fungus off the shit encrusted flip flop of a single character you named.

Oh he can fuck right off with that “ruling class” shit. I said the other day that Trump that being President was like being a King...some pageant waves, some concubines/mistresses, some “off with his head!” lots of fake adoration and no actual work.

soft racist is a great term. I always quote Chris Rock ... “we like you, but you’re not a Kappa” though he was talking specifically about Hollywood.

See even though I planned my wedding since I was a kid, it was never a big fancy wedding -- I just knew in detail where I wanted it, what I wanted my dress to look like, etc.. so I don’t think they necessarily coincide though usually.

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.
