Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

Holy.
Well, for one thing, a dead tree can decompose and become a vital part of the forest ecosystem. The metal lock? Not so much.
I don’t understand the question.
This makes me sad since I really love these two women, as actresses and the characters they play.
Your opinion re: the minimum wage don’t impress me much.
My last job was in an oncology unit and oncology ICU. Batkid day irked me. Not outrage or anything, just irritation. It’s hard to explain... this shit happens everyday, and to kids who are much less telegenic or white. I dunno. I'm not against this movie, but I certainly won't go see it.
Or just don’t fucking travel with drugs.
Dear flygirl,
In case anyone cares to actually UNDERSTAND the issue, residential water usage is a tiny part of a much larger problem. Focusing on the insignificant stuff is exactly what shifts attention from the real problem. California agriculture uses the vast majority of the water, 80%. Residential uses just 20%. Of that, only…
Well if they have the money, why wouldn’t they buy houses that big? Let them do what they please with their money.
Wait, are you seriously suggesting that it’s wrong for customers to document it when service workers treat them horribly, because you routinely “fucking lose your shit” and treat customers horribly and you’re afraid someday you may face consequences for it? If your job is too much for you to handle without abusing and…
I’m Hard of Hearing, and Starbucks is a huge fucking nightmare for me. Usually I’ll go to a really small one that is the third Starbucks in a 500 foot radius so it’s not busy at all, but a few weeks ago I went to the biggest, busiest one because it was on my way to work. When I got up to the counter to pay, I couldn’t…
Seriously. I would have walked out (no matter how much I wanted my latte or chai) rather than listen (or give my money) to this crazy woman screaming at everyone. There’s always another Starbucks or coffee house down the block.
I really don’t see that as passive aggressive. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.” Ok. You’re sorry - legit apology. That’s normal. Also, you didn’t hear the person. That’s a statement of fact and lets them know that it was unintentional. That’s cool and a normal thing to say and makes sense. “You don’t have to yell”…
Yeah, but sometimes the double whammy of paying for a service and then having the business offering you the exact opposite of that service leaves a sour taste that has to be rectified by more than just turning the other cheek.
My father, while trying to save money and not sound like a tightwad, did give me a marvelous piece of advice: Enjoy the day. Don’t get a gown you can’t walk in, can’t breathe in, and needs a bunch of attendants to hold the train and keep you from sweeping things off of tables. Don’t wear shoes that are painful or hard…
This is like reading the great restaurant horror stories on kitchenette.jezebel.com. Love it.
You got it!
