Mothballs and weird cologne and old farts

Bill Clinton is starting to remind me of my grandfather when he got dementia except my grandpa wasn’t a sexual predator.

When you are a server--if you are even working on the books, which in NYC is often not the case--there is a presumed amount of tips you declare when paying your taxes at the end of the year that makes up for the discrepancy allowed by paying wait staff a ‘waiter’s minimum wage’ which can legally be as little as $3.50…

As a server and bartender for years, I never considered it ‘cribbing’. every single person I tipped out was a part of what made my job doable, and they were all working for subpar wages. I had no issue tipping the people running around behind me. The better they are at their job, the easier mine is.

Along with the other suggestions, I’m pretty sure she feels that perhaps she and her colleagues could maybe put some of their own money towards the salaries of others. She comes from the service world, where waiters tip out the rest of the staff from their own earnings because they recognize it takes a team to make…

Hah I had no idea who that was and just read about it! Similar issues.

Perhaps this is because I did my MA in the UK and it was not an MFA, I had a very different experience. For starters, we did have research courses and papers aside from just talking about our own writing, and yes, it was expected that by the time you got to that level, you were familiar with the standard rules of…

It’s so weird.

To be honest, it’s been a while since I was a student so I’m not sure what people are using these days but there are several free software options online. 

Yes, there was a girl in one of my writing classes who would consistently use dialogue from recognizable sources (Fight Club, The Simpsons) but pass them off as lines her own characters came up with. I would always politely make a note that it’s necessary to cite pop culture references and finally just had to call her…

This is amazing hahahahha wow.

I got my BA and MA in writing and I could NOT believe how many people plagiarized work in the time I was there, most of whom totally got busted. It was embarrassing enough when people stole from famous novelists but a year after I graduated, someone turned in a paper I WROTE with like one word in every sentence…

I’m curious why you think this would be an issue? If anything IVF just demonstrates how badly your parents wanted to have you.

It’s entirely possible that the first woman didn’t want the experience of a pregnancy but a lot of health issues in the initial fertilization process are what make pregnancies end, so she was simply covering the portion of the process the other mother’s body wasn’t reliable enough to handle.

I have heard from multiple people who’ve worked with Caitlyn Jenner back in the Bruce days that she is very free with the n word. There are reasons she voted the way she did.

Isn’t it possible that he is working out his own issues feeling objectified as a young person who probably already was well aware he was gay and had this opportunity to air something? Why should anyone have to respectfully decline a public addressing of this sort of behavior? 

100%. Also this whole ‘blackout’ chain mail is from years ago and has no actual connection to what’s going on.

How about no thank you. Men love women who go dark. Women who are silent. Women who don’t express themselves as individuals. Post your faces and yell your stories. This country needs to learn to identify and respect women as individuals, not some blurry mass of wives, moms, and sisters.

Why are his teeth so small?

lol this whole thread.
