Oh, I like the surge pricing idea. Tipping is for food delivery doesn’t make a whole lot of sense anyway. The customers only see the delivery person for a few seconds. There’s not a whole lot the person can do to provide great customer service in that time and the single biggest indicator the customer will use to…

I don’t have a problem with people ordering delivery in inclement weather, so I don’t think that the businesses should close down (unless we’re talking dangerous weather), but I do think that people should acknowledge the increased difficulty in making the delivery and tip accordingly.

Yes, that scene was a total misfire for me. I didn’t have a problem with Winn expressing his feelings, but I did have a problem with the way he did it. First of all, making a physical move on a friend while either you or they are in emotional distress is crap. If the other person is the one in distress, you’re taking…

It’s always so hard for me to understand the distrust for the medical community and then I remember that things like Tuskegee and forced sterilizations actually occurred in my lifetime.

This reminds me of a book I’ve been meaning to read.

Overhead fixtures in the bedroom and living room seems so odd to me. I’ve lived in half a dozen apartments (both older and newly-built) and have never had a light fixture in those rooms. I even have a ceiling fan in my bedroom and it doesn’t have lights on it. I just use lamps. Usually, there’s a wall outlet connected…

I think truthfully every 10 years until 60 and every 5 after that would be more than enough unless you fail one. Then it would be annually for you.

It isn’t an either or situation. The reporter being rude doesn’t mean that JLaw wasn’t. There’s a difference between firmly, but respectfully correcting someone, correcting someone in a teasing-goodnatured way, shaming someone in a butt of the joke way, and responding to rudeness with rudeness. People disagree on how…

End of times? It happened last week. And the whole kerfuffle probably would be just about over with without reminders like these.

Reviled? I think that’s pretty overblown. Anne unfairly caught a lot of flack for a long time, but JLaw has been and is still very popular. She’s fine and this controversy is silly. It would be good for her to just be a bit more careful when she tries to be funny though. She’s often very amusing, but sometimes she…

Ugh, I hated that scene too. They were really hammering on the sex implications of his transformation through out the pilot with that and the hooker stuff. Yes, the first thing I’m going to do when I get resurrected and de-aged by a super secret experiment and that experiment has given me superpowers and other weird…

Seeing that actor being so funny and adorable in the new heroes panel at Comic Con is the only reason I gave this terrible looking pilot a shot.

Really? I guess I’ll give the show a few episodes to win me over then, because I loved Life. Funny, even though I didn’t know it was from the same creator, Life was what I thought of earlier today when I was describing the show and particularly the corruption plot to someone. Unfortunately, it was in a “Life’s…

But you’re cool making other people miserable and uncomfortable?

From what I understand, asexual people can and do have emotional relationships though. Also, while I’m not a hard core fan and am open to correction on this point, it seems to me that Spock has never been portrayed as truly emotionless, but rather someone who suppressed (sometimes with great difficulty) his emotions.

With this news and the arrest warrant being issued for the affluenza kid, I’ve been smiling for the last 24 hours.

Exactly. I know there are parents who lord money over their kids heads in a manipulative manner, but I know just as many kids that view their parents as little more than wallets and withold their affection unless they were being financially rewarded.

Why would you even think about confronting her for not getting you a Xmas present, when you stopped talking to her for not paying for your school of choice?

I’m an American that grew up in California, but my mom is an immigrant from Korea. Many of my friends are children of immigrants from various cultures. The daughter’s behavior would not fly with most of them.

The letter says that the daughter complains to the sister that she texts her during class, so who knows if she’s telling her mom that.
