There is no doubt that he was a phenomenal entertainer, but he was also one massively weird, and damaged human being. The question is, where do you draw the line between the artist and the art? I enjoyed his music growing up, but didn’t really care for him as a person. Michael Jackson, and Prince were the soundtrack…

Only if you enjoy the taste of mint ice cream, toothpaste, and Listerine all mixed together.

I’ll agree with you to a point. Commercial mayo is an abomination. It tastes horrible and serves no purpose for me. An aunt of mine liked to use it as a replacement for vegetable oil in things like cakes, and sometimes added it to mashed potatoes instead of milk and butter. She claimed that once cooked, or heated, you…

Bitch needs to be medicated

AH: Well first off, a hot dog is gross

I’ve hated them since I was a kid. I haven’t had one in almost 30 years and I haven’t missed it. After watching how they are made, my suspicion that they are not fit for human consumption was confirmed.

I hated being tickled as a child. It wasn’t funny, it didn’t feel good. It was painful. I asked adults not to do it, but it happened anyway. My god-father was the one who did it the most. No one listened when I asked them not to, so I just started kicking them. It worked.

I always hated that. My aunt forced her daughter to hug me even when it was obvious she didn’t want to. I was 20, she was 8. Aside from knowing I was her cousin, I was a complete stranger to her. I told her that she didn’t have to hug me if she didn’t want to. Her mother insisted. She grudgingly did it, and then stuck…

It does that, on the surface. Beneath that is a dark, creepy underside. I’ve been on it for 10 years now and I’m about done. My friend list gets smaller and smaller as more and more people leave it. I’m slowly deleting old posts to clean it off and before too long I will follow them.

The only way to deal with that type is to ignore the behavior and be as polite as possible. You don’t have to engage with them. One word answers work when appropriate. Managers, at least good ones, are aware when someone acts like that, and being professional reflects on you and lets the smarmy ones continue to…

I did this frequently with one person in particular. We would have a conversation. I would follow up with a recap, and she would do the complete opposite of what we discussed. I would bring it to her attention, and then she would say it was my fault and I had misled her. It stopped when her boss, the director of HR,…

I’ve tried to explain this to my step-son and he just doesn’t get it. His twin 3 year old boys have absolutely no structure or schedule in their day. It’s normal for them to be up until 11:30 at night every day. He keeps the kids on his schedule instead of adapting his to theirs.

Not only does she make a career out of pretending to be other people, her status as a celebrity allows her to invalidate decades of proven research. What an amazing super power.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Iodized salt has a stale metallic taste to me. I prefer kosher or sea salt because it has a cleaner flavor in comparison. A few years ago, I picked up something called fire salt which is sea salt ground with habaneros. I don’t use it alone because who wants salty…

I got the impression that I was going to buy it, expense it, then give it over so they could load it with the basics. Then I would be responsible for putting on anything special I need. It was BYOD in terms of mobile phones, but with various mergers, splits and acquisitions over the years that has gone away. I tried…

I’ve worked in IT for the past 3 decades and the crazy thing I still see is managers blaming Y2K for their lack of budget. I ask for a new laptop every 5 years. The last time I was told that I would have to purchase it on my own and expense it back. I politely said HELL NO. I was told that they just don’t have room in…

It was only a matter of time before she caught Resting Bitch Face from Kanye

Sometimes it’s best not to take sides until the dust settles. Tell them both to deal with their own shit and contact you when they have figured it out. I’m sorry you’re both having a hard time with this, but I’m your friend, not your emotional tampon.

The Republican’s simply cannot understand that some people don’t believe in their political philosophy. It just doesn’t work for some people, and somehow that makes them the enemy. Instead of trying to understand why, or trying to find common ground to work from, you get this kind of childish behavior.  She really…

Don’t blame the server. They didn’t prepare your food. It’s possible they put the order in wrong, so if it’s not what you think it should be, there is no reason why you can’t verify it with them before sending it back - just do it politely.

I don’t know that I would be that desperate to eat kale. My birds like it, but I’ve got no use for it.
