I may be alone here but I couldn’t finish the first season of Man in the High Castle for that reason. I was a German major in college and spent a semester on Holocaust studies. I know what happened then. I went into watching that show with an open mind (mostly because I was a Philip K Dick fan when I was younger) but…

I’m open to men and women doctors, but the fact is I’ve had way better experiences with women. I had a male ob gyn perform a transvaginal ultrasound on me without my consent. This was after him saying, after me visiting him multiple times over the course of a couple years, that the pain I was feeling was in my head.…

WWII called, it wants its hyperbole back.

Poor guy. He’s clearly struggling with things and whatever the problem is I’m sure people on the internet saying he looks terrible doesn’t help. The world is rough on child stars.

Multifamily developers have been including charging stations in the garages of their high-end apartments for a few years already. It’s seen as an amenity to attract young professionals. It’s paid for by increasing the rent by $50-$100 or so per unit.

YES.

Binge eating disorder, maybe? The treatment for that does often involve keeping any trigger foods out of the house. Personally I couldn’t fight it at all until I developed food sensitivities that gave me the choice - eat the food and be very sick, or eat healthy in small amounts and not feel like my insides are on…

Baking soda and plain white vinegar will get rid of most smells, but sometimes if you’re cooking with oil, you can get particles stuck all over things you normally wouldn’t clean on a daily basis and nothing but time will dissipate them. That’s when smelly stuff helps.

I thought essential oils weren’t safe to use around pets? Is peppermint an exception? (legit asking, my vet has warned me against lemon, rosemary, tea tree etc but I don’t remember her mentioning peppermint)

That’s fine, we don’t all have to get along. You’re the one who derailed a conversation about how women should handle maternity leave, though.

I do get it. I really, really do. My family is juggling this and I’ve spent my share of nights up with my grandparents (grandpa has dementia, grandma’s barely mobile and hates the world because of it, and frequently lashes out). My mother is getting this from both ends because she is their primary caregiver, and she…

Actually, 75% of caregivers for the elderly are female. That’s according to the most recent figures from the Institute on Aging. Estimates from other sources range from 65-85%, but I think the general fact is clear, it’s mostly women doing this labor. So no, it does not affect men and women equally.

I see this with my own mother and aunts taking care of my grandparents, and honestly, yeah, it’s something we should be talking about. We have an aging population (in the world, in general) and somebody has to take care of those people. The problem is only going to get worse.

I’m basically Ron Swanson while I’m at work and I feel no need to apologize for that.

See, and this is why I don’t talk to my coworkers. I got trapped into talking to one recently, kinda similar situation. I’m a woman in my late twenties, in a lower level management-ish position. This guy is in his mid twenties, a trainee. So I have to be around him and take his questions sometimes. He’s always asking…

I’ve been in that position before. It’s just uncomfortable when your boss keeps talking about stuff that you disagree with, especially politics. I had a boss who used to go on and on about this stuff. If you want/need the job, it’s probably too risky to be direct about it. So I just got really good at making…

I’ve literally never heard of the schmuck.

You could say the same about many leisure activities. Reading novels, watching movies, whatever. Even when humans were living in caves, we’d listen to each other tell stories about made up things.

There’s not a thing he could do that would make his hard core fans turn away. Seriously. Maybe if he was caught sexually abusing a child. Short of that - murder, beating his wife, being a general asshole and waste of space - these women will excuse it all away. “Oh, he’s misunderstood, he’s a tortured soul, she…

He’s a child, basically.
