I actually thought this story was clearly fake (out-of-touch person in a “scary” place like Baltimore, awkwardly describing one of those “fast food” establishments), until he told the gunman to shoot the cashier. Then I was like, “Oh wow, it’s real!”

so lost and lonely :( :( :( :( :( :(

They would probably need to lap the entire White House 40-50 times to talk out the crap from just the past three days from the GOP.

This is only semi-related, but I swear this is true (it has shades of the alleged McCarthy affair). I was watching The Daily Show a few years ago that featured an interview with Paula Broadwall. I was immediately sort of weirded out in the way she talked about Petraeus. Super weirded out. I turned to my friend and…

Actually it was a misunderstanding (see my other responses if you care, though I know you don’t), but thanks for playing: WOULD U RATHER!

The universe doesn’t revolve around us?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? You must be the one true, good American out there who really gets it.

MOST assuredly not, sir!!!

NO! Someone beat me to “Bye Felicia.” It’s not fair.

Thank you, someone is finally talking about the REAL ISSUE here.

Yeah, so now that I have been properly educated that Meryl Streep is playing Parkhurst (tbh I haven’t been paying attention) and it’s a real quote...I still don’t think it’s okay????

Haha, and I can hear the last part in Dame Maggie Smith’s voice!

Agreed! And as I said above, thanks for the education. I didn’t bother googling the quote or movie and I can see that I pissed off a loooot of people. I just think using “slave” lightly is so cringe-worthy, especially given all of feminism’s problems with being race-inclusive.

I know, I was actually joking, and didn’t bother to take 30 seconds to Google that quote. I can see I am paying for that from the vitriol from some others here, though.

“I’d rather be a rebel than a slave”

I don’t know much about Indianapolis, but I would guess that this would be a much fairer price there than in NYC or DC, just based on cost-of-living.

That’s amazing. I live in DC and you can’t get a decent manicure here under $20— and that’s basic, no gel, nothing.

...so I just read the abstract and am dumbfounded.

Anytime any one of them says “Benghazi,” I just want to keep repeating, “9/11, 9/11, 9/11” over and over.

Scary, but you also won out in that one. I was just on the cusp of the generation where some of us were vaccinated against chickenpox (everyone I knew in school), and some of us went to “chickenpox parties” in which parents would forcibly infect their kids to get it over with (some people up-county, I guess).

The protesters strike me as tone-deaf. The article is not about shutting down every nail business in New York. It’s about how they need to be better regulated. Ostensibly, there should be a lot of good (for workers) that comes from Cuomo’s task force, and if your salon was following the rules and paying fair wages…
