"Would force you to work under someone else's name if you were close to 40 hrs"

My church teaches that the only valid marriage is between one ketchup and one mustard.

"particularly in a country founded in part on the principles of taking advantage of others' hard work for little or no wages"

You have just described my dream job.

At the place I work now, they only have bussers and dish people on about 2 days/week. If your manager is feeling chippy, you might be sentenced to an hour in the dish pit after your shift. For $2.83, of course.

I would say "I don't understand how they're going to try to justify this," because it seems so laughably impossible to justify, but come on. We both know better than that by now.

I'm kind of with you on this. His characterization was a lot of setup for certain stereotypes and I kept waiting for the subversion but it never really came. I did really, really like the romance between him and Kimi. I thought its basis in how their individual circumstances as an immigrant and bunker-dweller put…

I loved Kimmy Schmidt. I watched the whole thing twice already. The Dong/penis jokes were hilarious because of the counterpointed Kimmy/penis jokes (Carol Kane says "Ah! Kim-Mee! What were your parents thinking!) and Kimmy eventually gets to the point where she says "Enough with the penis jokes, it's a very common…

"the stereotypes the are butt of the joke, not the character." Perfectly put. Some people cannot tell the difference.

I'm Navajo and I loved this show. While I cannot comment on how the Asian community thinks of Dong, I feel pretty strongly about the Native American arc. In the third episode where Mrs. Vorhees parents are introduced, I died. I thought they captured a part of Native Americans that I don't see in media: our sense of…

I think that joke especially worked because Gil Birmingham does great deadpan. His character is about 70% sarcasm and it's awesome. He gets all that, "are you fucking kidding me with these stereotypes" feeling in there without it being campy or feeling fake.

Netflix runs a show featuring not one heterosexual cis white male lead? Pick it apart, it had a few uncomfortable moments!

I really think all the racial stereotype jokes come around, even Jane Krakowski Native American thing. I am a little uneasy about that particular plot line and I think they could have done without it, but they bring it back way later in the series and I think tie it together ok. I think the joke about the litter was…

I'm not Native American (at least not very much), so I'm not going to tell them what they should and shouldn't be offended by. But I find the "legit" Native American characters (Jenna's mom and dad back in South Dakota) to be great modern portrayals of Native Americans. Dad was in the Air Force and mom is just as…

This is a show with an racially-integrated cast, and it's working its way through stereotypes. Given that they've already go the white lead choosing the Asian guy over the white guy, that suggests a progressive bent to the show. I say, give it time.

Jacqueline's parents are the only rational people on this show! How demeaning!

I'm pretty sure I felt the same reaction you did to: baby killing doulas. Like.... what?

I also wonder how many of these folks are also anti-vaxxers.

No, no, no. Animals eat the placenta to cover the smell of blood associated with birth. Not for any other reason. Ruminids like deer can't even digest it properly to gain any sort of nutrition from it, for strength or whatever people claim. Safe to assume that most women aren't being actively hunted. The placenta is a…

Motivated enough to consume your own placenta, yet too lazy to make it oneself. I have a hard time picturing the intersection of this particular Venn diagram.
