Did you decide to not read the linked article from Out with numerous examples of Bernie supporters harassing her on Twitter or....?

It’s not a conspiracy theory. Franken was repeatedly inappropriate with women and his behavior caught up with him. He was not politically savvy. Smart? Sure. Savvy? Nope. If he was savvy he would still be in the Senate.

You can’t possibly know that what he did to those women was not intentional, so I don’t see how it’s possible for you to know (or even suspect) that he’s a “good man”. You might like Al Franken, but let’s not confuse those feelings with innocence. 

I’m not seeing how your “one mom and six lesbians” comment is relevant or helpful? 

In January of this year, I was feeling next-level fatigue. I waited a few weeks to see my doctor, assuming it was just a cold or a flu. When I finally did see my doctor, he did a ton of bloodwork and my Epstein-Barr Virus current and recent infection numbers were off the charts. So, at 35...turns out I had mono.

I mean, okay big guy. I’m a former industry professional and educator with 7 years of experience in this exact matter, but sure. I coached literally hundreds of former students on this matter, and worked with current restaurant owners to set up mentorships and helped with access to investor funding. 

Banks do not lend for restaurants to people without capital. Period. You come with money or investors or VC or all of the above or you don’t come at all. And if you’re coming with the latter two, you probably don’t even own “your” restaurant, anyway. 

While I agree with the sentiment, it doesn’t mean that inequities shouldn’t be addressed. A lot could be done through personal responsibility. I know plenty of people who tipped out the bar and their busers for quick service during shifts. Not many servers feel responsible for tipping out the people who make their…

I worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant in the pastry department. I made $13/hr just out of school; dishwashers made far less and many worked multiple jobs to make ends meet or to have enough to send back to their families abroad. Our servers, on the other hand, often made upwards of $80-$100k per year and were…

It’s almost like it might be difficult for an ornery and unpleasant 77 year old man to make meaningful change. Who would have thought? 

All of the presented examples are children...do you think children deserve the Darwin Award or that their parents deserve to lose their child to drowning? Be better.

I spent high school and college working as a lifeguard and had to go in after multiple people — including adults — but most were children who had drifted…

I worked on the Hill for years. Bernie Sanders is the guy that sees you coming and won’t hold the door. He’s the guy who pushes “CLOSE DOOR” on the elevator when he sees you running for it. Fuck all the “you don’t have to like him to like him” bullshit. He’s not a good guy, and I witnessed repeated instances of him…

If you feel personally attacked by a statement like, “Men can’t take rejection” then you, sir, are 100% part of the problem. Because no one said “all men” -- you simply chose to read it that way. One can speak of men broadly to mean “most men” or “lots of men” or “the majority of men”. The fact that you read that and…

As far as abusive, mean, spiteful Members of Congress go, she’s the worst. I was on Capitol Hill for three years and watched her entire staff turn over about every 4-6 months. An acquaintance of mine took a job in her office and was promoted from Staff Assistant to Legislative Director within a six month period based…

Just coming down here to s/o to Congressman Richard Neal (D, MA-1) who has been paying his interns since forever. 

Clearly you are *not* a resident of DC. I can tell you, as someone who has lived here for over ten years, that 0% of the people in that restaurant were upset about this protest. They likely joined in and loved it because they are highly attuned to the bullshit from occupying Administration assholes. We DC residents…

See, here’s where the “gosh, he’s just so oblivious” thing falls apart. He himself said that she just doesn’t seem to want to put in the effort. He knows she’s not into it, and yet he’s attempting to guilt her into some sort of relationship (“best friends” or “girlfriend”). That’s not oblivious, that’s manipulative.…

As a former pastry professional, can I just give props to whatever pastry department human wrote “Congratulations” on that plate? That fine piping is *tight* and I love it.

I had a similar situation when I got married in 2010. My mom is a wonderful, thoughtful, reasonable person every day...except when it came to my wedding day. There was a litany of things she felt strongly about: white dress, seated dinner, champagne toast, cake, inviting “aunts” and “uncles” I barely knew or…

6'1" here. The one piece struggle is really real. I have found luck with Speedo, specifically this suit. The straps are adjustable and have a good amount of give that allows for the suit to stretch longer than some of the full strap options.
