Better yet, owners felt that despite the restricted feeding, the cats did not turn vindictive

Also with a fauxpology which amounts to “yo, that sucks that happened to you!”

Lets be honest about the apology business. At no point in time has the Japanese government admitted to the crimes committed. An “apology” that amounts to “Sorry that happened to you” is not enough and that is not what these women have been waiting for all their lives. They deserve better than that.

True.. and with the recent changes in patent law, this dispute is getting even messier!

I partially agree. I think it’s not a gender specific erasure, but rather Lander wanting to bolster more credibility to Zhang and Broad. But I do wonder if they felt like this was something they COULD do because she’s a woman when thinking of the probability of winning the patent dispute (and actively reducing her…

Apparently he frequently exposes himself to women and/or pleasures himself randomly in their presence.

This needs to be a t-shirt.

Second this. same with three older brothers. Had two of my teeth accidentally knocked out as a kid while wrestling (granted they were a bit loose) and my mom came out to a horrifying scene of me bloody in the mouth laughing hysterically with my brothers.

My husband does this. He wants to learn, but each time I show him, he claims it’s sorcery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This has been my past and current bosses. They always said “there is absolutely NO reason you should be at work while sick. Go home.” Definitely feel lucky to have that luxury.

This was my husband. He did not want to plan and opted out of the planning (just wanted me to tell him what to do), but ended up vetoing weird little things but would not offer up any constructive alternative. When probing for more ideas to replace the vetoed one, he’d get cranky and get huffy: “I said I didn’t want…

Right, my apologies. I guess I should have clarified specifically to generalization of culture in Korea not in the US. Stereotypical in the sense that if you grew up in Korea, then this is a common experience.

If they are not your mother, they wouldn’t say this to you. This is more of a family dynamic than a free for all commentary.

Meh... I’m used to it and it mostly is background noise at this point in my life. But if I want to go to a spa, I’d rather relax than have to hear about it.

It’s pretty common for folks to talk about appearances to your face though. And I know a lot of non-Koreans who are shocked at our bluntness. And it’s a more…

It’s nice in theory, but if you have a stereotypical Korean mother, she will likely point out all your flaws and “why can’t you be thin like that girl over there? She also has better breasts.”

It means they soaked until the skin was softer for better exfoliation of dead skin. Exfoliation services at Korean spas are common and it’s easier (and less painful) if you soak a bit.

Ah in that case, your insurance company should be complying with the mandate. I would recommend citing ACA mandate specifically to the insurance agent, since a lot of the times they don’t know (or are feigning ignorance). If someone is not certain, keep going up the management chain until someone does.

If you get insurance through your employer and their plan has been “grandfathered in” (meaning the bulk of their plan complies with ACA) they are not required to change their plan until said deadline. It’s not until they create a new plan to comply with ACA that requires them to cover birth control (as in, instead of…

We decided to do a wedding with kids mostly because we have too many nieces and nephews that would have been heartbroken not to be invited. So we did a compromise: upto 9 PM is family/kid friendly (in a bowling alley with an arcade). After 9 PM, kiddos go home to their grandparents who will baby sit them and the…

When you share a concern, doctors will often respond with scripted answers, such as, “we are lucky to be able to protect our babies from many serious diseases with vaccines” and “vaccines do not cause autism,” but they are trained to provide empathy rather than unbiased, scientific information.
