There’s one unintended, ironic effect of Marie Kondo’s show and it has nothing to do with getting rid of shit: I now understand why 70% of married women initiate divorces.

Of course US tipping culture sucks, but it’s what’s in place right now, and not participating in it isn’t an interesting intellectual exercise or protest, it just makes you look like a prick.

Morality and legality are two separate things. Are you really an adult in 2019 and don’t understand this? Apologies if you’re actually 14.

Virtually all American servers make below minimum wage, so the rest of your bullshit comment is completely irrelevant. 

But we currently inhabit the world where servers and other folks are not paid a decent wage, so...tip.

Yeah. That does seem somewhat odd.

You’ve also pointed out a likely racial and income/resource bias in the study.
I checked the Methods section, and that would be correct:

I knowI know this is morbid but mymom has a hospice social worker and all I want to do is buy an old Victorian Mansion in Maine and fill it with terminally ill dogs that I can just give lots of steak to and to keep very very comfortable. I don’t particularly want terminally-ill dogs, but I just feel like since they…

Buy an island and fill it with rescue dogs.

I’ve never understood why flight attendants are expected to wear such constricting and uncomfortable clothing, full stop. If, heaven forbid, there is ever an emergency, they’re there to handle the situation. Give me a flight attendant in khakis and a polo who can unfurl an emergency slide and evacuate passengers with…

They’re stuck in flying metal tubes for hours and have to deal with close contact with the public. Just let them wear polos, for heaven’s sake.

This sounds like one of those charter schools Betsy DeVos wants to give more money to! You know, those great ‘traditional’ values, like sexism and wanting to defund the Special Olympics. Don’t forget not caring about students’ civil rights on school property.

I’m glad they fought and won the right to have the dress code modified to be more inclusive.

It would appear that Rebecca is in for a very shitty surprise when she begins researching the literal tons of poop left behind in all National Parks and oh yeah, city parks too.

“Decades? Pssh,that’s nothing-I managed to turn the entire country into that in two years!”

“except God, who isn’t there and/or doesn’t care”

The Christian right loves to use public prayer as the loudest form of passive-aggression. Newsflash: everyone hears you loud and clear (except God, who isn’t there and/or doesn’t care).

I’m not entirely sure how this conduct jibes with the Establishment Clause—but assuming for a moment that a legislator praying during sessions isn’t necessarily out of bounds, there must still be some point at which religiously-motivated, open hostility towards another legislator (on the basis of the targeted…

My parents and I shared a hotel room while on a trip to look at colleges (I have no memory of my younger brother being there, but maybe he’d already fallen asleep?) and my mom suggested we rent American Pie.

“So I took my mother to see ‘Deep Throat.’”

And we’re sure he’s not talking about his wife, like Pence?
