You are wrong and there is no such thing, per science: American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, Volume 25, Number 4 http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ocean/ajra/2011/00000025/00000004/art00021

Per science, that’s not possible. People are usually allergic to dander or saliva, which is present with all dogs, and no matter what breed or hair length or type, they all produce dander and saliva. Even two dogs from the same breed can elicit different reactions in people with allergies. Obviously, I wouldn’t…

This x 1000. Anyone who has rescued enough dogs knows that you just don’t know.

With your experience, you know that how a pet behaves in the shelter isn’t how they behave outside of it, and that behavioral problems can develop and reveal themselves over time. Just like they can’t tell you how big your shepherd-corgi mix is going to be, they can’t tell you if your dog will develop a behavioral…

My dog’s severe aggression toward other animals didn’t come out until two years after I adopted her. It wasn’t me, I have two other dogs that are perfectly socialized, and they’re all spoiled beyond belief, but this dog just wasn’t meant to be around other pets she didn’t grow up with. Shelters aren’t staffed by vets,…

Dogs are forever (ahem) but boyfriends are temporary. Am I supposed to never have a dog because my boyfriend is allergic? Dog > boy, always.

Uh yeah, it’s called being held hostage by the system. It’s not a good system. People don’t generally stop having babies because their woman boss is a piece of shit. Paid maternity leave is a global thing except in the US. Take your antiquated, backward stance somewhere else. Anywhere else. I’m glad your woman boss…

“We suspended paid maternity leave because we’re a trash place of employment for women and our employees would rather leave than come back.” Think about what kind of culture you’re creating. Somehow, like healthcare and vacations, the rest of the civilized world has this figured out, while American employers continue…

it’s an opinion about something that so deeply subjective, it can’t possibly be defended. It’s like having an opinion on the color purple.

In those cases, the appropriate response is to say “I wouldn’t choose to get remarried within two years of my partner’s death” or another variation indicating you’re not judging others based on your personally held beliefs.

Just curious: why would you want someone you care about deeply to continue to be in misery when you’re no longer around? That strikes me as odd.

This is completely fucking laughable. You expect your employees to have a loyalty to you and never change their mind about their employment but as their employer, you can fire them or lay them off whenever it pleases you. Loyalty goes both ways. Employers expect it absolutely from their employees but never provide the…

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

I think the world of middle management probably suits you well. Your stance on this is gross, at odds with any civilized society, and most of all, it’s boring. Do better.

I hope you appreciate the irony in your citing basic human decency. Nobody expects praise for being a parent or taking care of one, they just hope for an iota of compassion when their life takes them down a new path. Jesus.

How about taking a leave to care for your spouse with cancer? For a dying parent? That’s also a personal choice. You’re embarrassing and your stance is at odds with the civilized world. And, as a person who hires, you should know that employees who are cared for are more productive and more profitable. When you treat…

I knew some moron would make this argument, congratulations on being that particular piece of shit! What a facile argument, having children is a choice. If that’s what you’re basing your compassion on, let’s hope you never hire anybody, and let’s hope none of us have to work for you. The cancer patient also has a…

Here’s hoping that these garbage people realize that you pushed a human being out of yourself and then wanted to bond with it, nurse it, and try to give it a good start in life. Some people call it compassion or empathy. If you got cancer and had to take some time off to do a few rounds of chemo and vomit 15 times a…

Right? It shows the real LA in a way you never see on TV. No weird beach shit (who makes it to the beach if you live in echo park?!)

A friend commented to me that this was the first time she’d seen black millennial characters on TV in settings that weren’t cliche or sensational. She had joked before the show came out that she wanted to see someone microwaving a frozen burrito while black.
