Don’t be too hard on the Boomers. Millenials won’t need to lift a finger as long as they stay in the good graces of their Boomer parents, then inherit their wealth without having to work for it.  Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.  (Fyi, I’m a Gen-Xer, so I don’t have a dog in this fight).

Yeah, I think American employers would just cut hours way back so they don’t even get near the overtime range (and they can avoid being considered “full time” under ACA), which would lead to more employees having to work multiple part-time jobs. And part-time jobs are less likely to provide benefits. In theory I agree…

Not just differentiating on wealth, but race too. Extremely straight hair is less likely to be seen as “ethnic”

I can’t say why Phoenix did what he did. But could it be possible that DeNiro is such a good actor that Phoenix was caught up in their scenes together and thus never felt compelled to walk out?

Chrissy Teigen is a national treasure.

Sorry, I posted my own before I saw your post. Our school also had girls on the team, but mostly because it was a public school and there weren’t enough boys with a 2.0 average to make a full team. This was also around 20 years ago. Maybe that’s when things started to change (Title IX taken more seriously?)

I went to a pretty crappy public high school, and we had girls on the football team because they couldn’t find enough boys who had at least at 2.0 average, which was required to play sports. I don’t know if the girls only came in as kickers or other limited play time, because I’m a nerd who didn’t go to football…

The T-Rex costume is a cry for attention, as much as (if not more so) than any Bridezilla.  Plus, most weddings (although not all) also involve a religious ceremony, so a T-Rex costume is just an inappropriate there as it would be in church.  The sister was very gracious about it, which is nice.  But it was still a…

Thanks a lot, Lego - now my 75055 Star Destroyer looks like a piece of crap.

My wife is an engineer - not chemical, but her best friend from college is, who went on to work for one of our largest companies. Over 20 years ago, when almost nobody was talking about plastic, she said it was our biggest polluter industry and would be our downfall. Even though it was her livelihood, she wanted…

I don’t agree with the implication that “humane and ethically produced” also means “higher quality.” Because it doesn’t. So when you say “humane” producers are switching to plastic, you should say the real dilemma is chosing between humane or ecological (cardboard), NOT between humane and “lower quality.” That may…

I saw the original 10 times in the theater. But there is no way in heck I would pay the kind of price I’ve been hearing just to stay in an “immersive” hotel room. Even if I could afford it, it seems stupid (like paying extra for gold flakes on top of your food). I’m sure there are people willing to pay, but . . . I’m…

Not just minorities, but no elderly and (considering these are nerds) no obese people. Are they not allowed?  Or, rich people who can afford this hotel can also afford the plastic surgery and liposuction?

Can I use this card to purchase a $1,000 stand for my monitor?

Mikan, Alcindor — the rules rarely work and end up making them better players by forcing them to focus on other skills. LMAO.

I don’t want people to stop trying because the longer we can delay catastrophic change the better, but I also feel we are too late. The climate change models we’re used to hearing about generally discuss the release of methane from arctic permafrost and a mere 1.5 degrees C as the “tipping point,” but not the mass…

Well, unlike other “investments,” if your home drops to even zero value, you can at least live in it!

As someone who rents out my second home, I can tell you that home ownership is one of the few investments that pays for itself.  My renter is paying off the mortgage for me.  In another 12 years, I will own that home outright, with very little money put into it other than the downpayment.  If you are a renter, then…

I agree.  And younger people probably don’t think about “fixed income” but once they retire, they will realize that “monthly fees” -- which only ever go UP -- are a poor replacement for owning something outright.
