Oh god that's up there. They had babies.....ugh.

Okay, but what is the divorce raised for different-gender couples controlled for the number of years they have been married? In my state, I think the longest a same sex couple could be married is maybe 10 years. Many marriages fall apart after a couple decades (after the kids leave the house), potentially raising…

When is this site going to stop using "mouth breather?" It's a bit ableist....There are a lot of adjectives that would get your point across.

I thought Minnesota. Reminded me of the mom from Bobby's World.

It doesn't seem very likely when only 1% of rape cases are prosecuted...

According to this, $350-$450 per week ($1516-$1950 per month). Where I live, this is beyond outrageous. I mean, it is outrageous to afford an apartment by oneself on minimum wage in the US, but still. Further down-thread someone mentioned having a 3 bedroom house at $1100 a month though. I think rural vs urban has…

I'm all for raising minimum wage don't get me wrong! I've never tried to live on it but I've done the math and it isn't fair :(.

NYC is considered outrageous regarding rent to the rest of the country.

Perhaps the sources I looked at were inaccurate, but what I saw was around $2,000 a month.

Well, I pay a bit more for a nice two bedroom condo, but a studio would be around $600 I would say (though you could find a roommate and share a two bedroom at $800-1000, so half of that). And that would be half of their income pre-tax for a studio. So it's not liveable for a single person, because then there are…

True, but your rent is way way higher than it would be in the US.

Many states have it set to as low as the federal minimum. I try to keep that in mind when I go to RI for example, I try to tip better since they make a third of what they make as servers in CT.

For servers, federally it is $2.13, though some states have higher wages (mine is close to $6). The idea is that customers will make up for the pay gap in tips for service.

They are usually the same people who think poor people are lazy....coming from people who wouldn't show up to work for less than $25 an hour.

Their kidneys are gonna love all that extra protein...

I can't be grossed out due to the number of friends who would dip fries in chocolate shakes...

They charge extra for a few cents worth of seasonings? That's terrible.

Without pics you will never get any swipes....

I don't know, I pee all the time and no one has ever said anything to me about it...

Probably because like most people she can't just pick a job out of a hat and suddenly be employed. People work where they have to work.

Seriously, my pregnant coworker was leaving work for 3-4 hours at a time, sexually harassing our coworker (and me, since I was uncomfortable hearing it), and she has her job waiting for her when she gets back. I don't want people getting fired for being pregnant, but some people sure do take advantage of it....
