Holy hell, I can’t imagine thinking that was funeral appropriate, regardless of whether it was accurate or not!

That commenter was doing that in threads last night, too. Flag and delete at will.

Yeah in my town you do actually have to press the button or you’ll wait there forever for a crosswalk signal that will never materialize.

I think he is saying big league, or at least he thinks he’s saying it. I hear “bigly” as well most of the time, but it’s been explained for months now that he’s trying to say big league. Most people just keep making fun of him and saying bigly, though.

Yeah and Canadians are still kind of annoyed about that apparently! It came up at a legal conference I was at last week in Canada. One of my Canadian colleagues noted that Canada only went to the metric system because the US said it was going too, but then the US bailed but by that point Canada had gone too far down…

It’s still the standard in the legal world. I tried to change it in my office but it was a losing battle. We have to file everything with the court with two spaces after the period so it was pointless. My jurisdiction doesn’t give a crap though so single space forever.

I’ve been asking that since last week when he did the interview circuit wearing glasses that were severely bent and crooked on one side, resulting in him not only sounding but looking unhinged.

Bourbon is actually quite good in lemonade, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be in an Arnold Palmer.

Do you have any links to those? I’m asking sincerely, not being a dick, since the only interviews I’ve seen seemed to indicate she didn’t mind and actually did a memorial event for it in times square with Mendosa. It’d be interesting to see the other interviews for sure.

I bleed so heavily and so long thag my doctor actually tested me for a blood disorder. Going on the pill for my hormonal acne helped a lot but it’s still not exactly fun.

And my office is totally cool with jeans as long as they are clean and not ripped, etc.! Not all places of work have the same dress code, and from what locals have said, everyone on this station dresses like this.

Yeah, if I get a call from one of my friends, I first assume it’s a pocket dial. If they actually are calling, I immediately assume someone has died or been injured. And once, someone had indeed died.

I think you are willfully misunderstanding. As others have said in this chain, men simply aren’t conditioned with this fear. It’s possible and it does happen, but most men don’t have this internalized fear of being raped because it’s not an ever present threat. When I was 15, my english class read the Handmaid’s Tale…

I was last in elementary school about 20 years ago, but I don’t recall a ban on open toe shoes then. Granted, I live north of the wall, and the time in which open toe shoes are appropriate doesn’t overlap long with the school year.

To tack on to what dcgirl13 said, in a lot of areas (mine included), people will grumble that a politician is out-of-touch and no longer understands the plight of the people in our state if they don’t appear in the state with regularity. They have to delicately balance being in DC so constituents won’t complain they…

Echoing others, my mom made sure I really, truly wanted to cut my father off and when I had satisfied her that I was making the decision I needed to for my own sanity, she respected my decision. It would have likely damaged our own relationship if she had pushed. 18 years later, I still believe it was the right…

I’ve fallen for my fair share of loveable doofuses, so I get it.

I have to remind myself of this quite frequently, too.

All families are different, but count me in the crew that was heavily reared by grandparents. I spent entire summers with my maternal grandma, and “daycare” and later school vacation days, sick days, and any time my parents were out of town were convened at my paternal grandmother’s house. It wasn’t unusual to go over…

That’s not entirely true. Just because it’s non-profit doesn’t necessarily mean its fair use. It’s just one of the prongs, and typically a persuasive one.
