Oh, I know they couldn’t, but I thought I remembered them trying.

Right. I don’t remember seeing her on red carpets or anything. Like irobinson says, she was a working actress - which, no shade; she was earning a living in a field in which 99% of those who try, fail. But that also means she wasn’t the kind of famous person who appeared in the tabloids all the time - like, people…

I thought I remembered some cousins or something just rolling into Heathrow on their way to the wedding, thinking they’d be able to show up uninvited. No?

Gotcha. I’ve never had to cut off family (knock wood).

See, I don’t think she does talk to her paternal side of the family, who are the ones who keep talking to the press. She seems legitimately close with her mother, who appears to support her and be kind to her - you never see her talking to the press. It’s her dad’s people who are running their mouths, and I’ve gotten…

I think she was more of a below the radar celebrity, no? (Serious question; I don’t watch Suits so I don’t have a sense of how popular it is, but I don’t recall seeing much about her in the American press when she was on it.) 

And Max ended up with Kyle, who was a successful financier!

The masseuse I like always massages my glutes - that’s another question she asks up front, if it’s OK to do that.

I used to belong to a gym that had a branch (I had the passport membership so I could go to any branch I wanted; this one was near my work) with a steam room. I would use it regularly after my workout (with conditioner in my hair!) but I would wear a towel. One time I was in there minding my business and I heard a…

I can’t stand a chatty masseuse. I have a place I like (I’ll go maybe once a quarter for a massage and a facial) and I request one person in particular because she gets all the talking out of the way up front (usually questions like does anything hurt and if so, is it the kind of pain where I should avoid it or work…

I have an acquaintance who is a teacher and views it as a calling, and it hurts her deeply (to the point where she and her therapist spent time working on lessening her emotional investment) that there are lots of teachers who see it as nothing more than a job. They only do as much work as it takes not to get fired,…

This is the worst part. So he was standing outside, with a whole fuckin house between him and whatever was going on inside, and because he perceived a threat WHILE HE WAS STILL OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, had to fire a kill shot. There was a whole house between them! Even IF someone was standing inside and pointed a gun at…

Or when they DO say the man did something, they leave out the word “rape.” “Man convicted of having sex with 12-year-old receives probation.” You can’t have sex with a 12-year-old; that’s rape. Same with how Brock Turner is seldom referred to as a convicted rapist, even though that’s what he is.

I have been known to drop a “per my previous email” or “see below” while forwarding said previous email. That’s only when we’ve been going around for too long about some shit I know I said, or if someone tries to call me out on not doing something I know I did or doing something I know I didn’t do. “You never told me…

I, too, was wondering if Dave had all this righteous indignation ready for when his beloved alma mater was covering up child rape.

I just did a quick search. Only 8 states require employers to pay their employees for jury duty and 15 others have laws on the books prohibiting employers from requiring employees to use paid, sick, personal, or other kinds of leave for jury duty (so it doesn’t count against your PTO but they don’t have to pay you).…

Occam’s razor.

I get called for jury duty regularly and I am constantly floored by how many people roll in there late - and not just five or ten minutes late, either. I’m one of those “on time is 15 minutes early” people, but I couldn’t believe how many people showed up 30, 45, 60 minutes late. Totally unapologetic, too - in some…

Well, but if you’re an hourly worker who will lose pay if you go to jury duty (I’ve been there; thankfully I was a well-paid hourly worker so I could afford to take the hit), or you have PTO but your employer makes you use it for jury duty and you have it earmarked for something else or you have none left to spare, I…

... Oh my fucking God.
