What you said, torch. What you said.

It may be idiotic. But the law allows it. And presumably your meal price benefits from that.

You should print that up and hand it out when you don’t tip. I’m sure the waitstaff will totally appreciate...

You don’t tip at a bar? You don’t tip at a bar? What?

Fast food workers make minimum wage. Counter service workers at other establishments may not. Worth asking or checking your local laws. If they can pay lower wages, they probably do.

If you’re in a fast food restaurant, you don’t have to tip at a counter. If the person who is serving you at the counter is also serving tables? You should absolutely tip, as they may not be making minimum wage. And if the person serving you at the counter is only serving you at the at the counter? You should probably…

I have never loved her more.

With insurance I once had $3,000 worth of medical bills in a single year in my 20s. At the time it was about 20% of my annual take home pay. It was a hard slog to pay off. During the presidency of (I believe) George W. Bush, bankruptcy laws were revamped and medical debt was no longer forgivable. So those who can’t…

I believe it’s not just academia where it matters.

Wow, Epstein, Acosta, Dershowitz, and Ken Starr, too? A true Rogue’s Gallery.

This makes me furious. Also, since some research shows that rapists tend to rape more than once, it undermines other cases as well. Imagine if a rapist (for example the guy who raped his former girlfriend) did the same thing years later. With a rape kit and a cooperating witness, it’s more likely that he would…

I was assaulted when I was 11. By a high school senior. It was horrible. I cannot imagine what it would have been like if it were a full grown man and all the other grown men had worked to protect him from me. I think I would have believed that I was trash and everyone knew it. I had some of that anyway. I will…

Thanks for the reminder. Could not make a profit at a casino. Pretty sure that a dog could run a profitable casino (though there would be much too much milk bone themed decor, I’m sure). Couldn’t make money at a Casino. Oh, lord. Lord.

You know what is good business practice? Actually making money in your businesses. Saves you all that time filing for bankruptcy. Pro tip.

Yes.

Dunkin Donuts, friend to porn! I kid. I kid. Thanks for telling me that is the same Donna Rice. Someone told me recently that whole thing with Hart was a pure set up and she was in on it. I wasn’t really listening, but now I wish I had. Maybe true?

Your response is way better than mine. Mine was “Huh.” I mean, when you start jacking around with laws to make them bend to your will, Kansas legislators, I suppose it’s only natural that others would do the same. And, of course, either way women get the short end of the stick. Huh.

I also think it’s the curse of being the young, attractive, opinionated woman. They won’t look away from you, because you are young and attractive, but they pick at you constantly to try to make you shut up so that they can impose their fantasy on you more easily. And by they? I mean any journalists, other…

I read Florida Governor Prick Scott. Anyhoodle...

You nailed it. That is a really good comparison. When someone who is searching for something more, whether a love for the ages or a way to make a difference in the world, that person can be vulnerable to an abuser or to a cult leader.
