(Woman in engineering) For better or worse, one of my mentors in college strongly impressed on us (female engineering students) that we should never EVER volunteer to do admin/office management tasks once we started working as it would blur the lines on our actual job duties and reinforce the idea that women do office…

I hear this.  I cut off half my family and I regret nothing.  The number of times I have heard “but it’s FAMILY”... good lord.  Just because somebody is related to you doesn’t mean you owe them a sweet g.d. thing, least of all your time.  They can get stuffed.

I think it’s great! I’m glad the refs didn’t take issue with a young All-Star getting his game on and get him fed to the rules when he hit the ground running. Yes, he’s looking kinda dumb with his finger and his thumb in the shape of an L on his forehead. But the years start coming and they don’t stop coming, so it…

A Bryan Goldberg machine is a device designed to perform a simple task incorrectly.

If I remember the original “World’s Oldest Dog” article she was rescued from a puppy mill and adopted.

So, here’s the thing about using etymological evolution as a defense for present use of an offensive term:

Yes, all of the profane words in the English language at one point or another had a polite, socially acceptable use. Many of the offensive terms (though not all of them, obviously) did as well.

These terms came to…

It’s always been interesting to me that one the one hand language changes as new words are created and meanings shift.

Honestly, as someone who basically never wears underwear and has spent years having friends question this (thus spawning spirited discussions), I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest factor here is the type of vulva you have. Like, the shape.

I wasn’t going to watch it until I saw your comment. 

When America sends you people, they aren’t sending their best.

The original lawyers should be notifying their malpractice insurance. It’s complete negligence on the part of the attorneys, and the family should be made whole by their insurance carrier. It is also a terrible optic that the lead counsel on the case couldn’t get their shit together and timely request materials or…

I’m an immigration attorney. I’ve had this fight with EOIR judges a few times. One time my 4 year old client was too scared to enter the court room. The judge insisted that the child come in and face her. I had to carry the child in (at this point he had calmed down but was still terrified and shaking). I told the…

NGL, that Playmobil burn is GOLD.

Same. I felt a little bit better after calling my rep this week.

Forget it Biff, it’s Dotatown

Except the very moment you give the government the ability to curb free speech for whatever reason no matter how valid, the first people they’ll shut down wont be the Nazis, it’ll be duped progressives like you.

PEOPLE JUST LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAYYYYYYYYYY

It is horrible, and what’s worse, it was totally predictable and avoidable.

Since when is “it was a hoax” a euphemism for “we’re a bunch of assholes”?

Of course it can happen in the so-called “civilized” world. Germany was tremendously advanced leading up to Hitler’s dictatorship, and then the Holocaust. Thanks to the stories we tell ourselves, mixed with the ability to dodge responsibility for our actions, mixed with deep tribalism, it can most certainly happen…
