Good. It’s much needed. Housing costs are insane. But I cringe every time I see “affrodable housing” because what they consider affordable is still nowhere near the reality of incomes and job stability.

To be fair, Kim may actually be unaware of that. She may be some kind of savant at marketing or influencing or whatever we’re calling her brand of totally useless contribution these days, but every time I’ve caught her in interviews she is dumb as a stump. We have got to stop conflating rich and successful with smart,…

i’ve had colleagues not talk about me but talk about my race right across the desk from me. they caught themselves and looked at me and i stared back.

I do appreciate your sentiment, but I’ve worked for three CEO’s in my career, and all of them were/are inspiring, caring, highly-qualified individuals whom I would follow to the ends of the Earth. It’s just the few fuckwits that ruin the whole bunch.

Repeatedly, I’ve seen CEOs (typically white guys) complain that if anyone looked at their salaries it would be “taken out of context” and “misunderstood” in terms of the industry and “doesn’t paint a full picture.”

if he were to share his salary, he’d do so via “some third party I could trust to keep it anonymous and average it with other people in roles like mine.”

If the allergy is that severe, why the hell aren’t you ordering, like, a strawberry smoothie?  He picked the absolute riskiest item on the entire menu.  What even is a peanut smoothie with no peanuts?

So to get this straight, he had asked for a “peanut power plus” smoothie without nuts, for a child with a severe life threatening peanut allergy?  First off, call Child Protective Services because this doofus is a danger to his kid.  Second, can he be that stupid to not understand what a ‘peanut power plus’ smoothie…

He’s a good looking, young man with his whole life ahead of him.  Very sorry for that family’s loss.  Tragic.

That schedule would be golden, primarily out of selfishness. I hate mornings. I’ve always hated mornings. Pre-kids, I could work anywhere from 9AM-6:00PM and it was awesome. However, since I have to get my kids to school by 730 and daycare closing hours have always put a cap a on my day, I have to be a morning person.

High school teacher here. It’s insane that we didn’t go remote the first two weeks after Christmas. There would be so many more kids in school today if we hadn’t made them come back so soon after the holidays.

I have a friend, healthy guy in his early 40's, who developed pleurisy over the last year after Covid, which his doctor said he’d probably have forever.  I’m amazed more insurance companies aren’t stepping up and refusing coverage to non-vaccinated people because long Covid is going to be a pain in their ass (and…

I know exactly what you mean. My aunt got Covid, was on a ventilator for three weeks and “recovered”, but she couldn’t walk when she was released from the hospital. She’s starting to get some mobility back, but she’ll never be the same.

I’m sending you and your family all the light, peace and love I have, because that is a heartbreaking story. I’m very sorry for your loss.

Very sorry you’re family has gone through all that. Good vibes for some family peace.

Sorry for hearing about your loss. Unfortunately there’s too many stories like these out there.

Get the Army Corps employees to start manufacturing tests in-house?

Coach Taylor will be the forever DILF on that show. Love me some Kyle Chandler.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how unabashedly left wing the show is. Not saying this makes it good, but the show would often use the cold cases to explore racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, etc.  I feel that’s kind of rare for a cop show.

The most famous guest star was always the guilty party (very much like any Law & Order episode), but it was fun seeing if they could cast appropriate/look alike actors for the old and young versions.
