Engineers never admit that w-word. 

My FIL is a bad joker. Because he wants to fuck the waitress. And it’s old and tired and creepy and every 19 year old trying to carry microwaved pasta sees it and gets it from ever other Boomer guy. Sure, maybe (a hypothetical reader) “you” are just trying to break the ice or make conversation, but that kid has had…

I’m apparently a heartless SOB to judge by my reaction to most of this, but I find that funny and am okay with it. It’s the “hardly working” questioners when they see I’m on my phone (ie, answering email because our ancient terminals crashed again or maybe even taking a break), or the gross dads “flirting” with young…

As a lawyer, I enjoy reading lawyer jokes.

Common sense hasn’t been edited out. Having to put on a polite face as someone condescends to you while you’re working a job has been edited out. More power to this cashier. 

Speaking for myself, not the original comment, but that fake forced “ha ha, aren’t you clever” is emotionally taxing and a distraction from what I’m trying to do, ie, work. 

Good.

One of my old jobs rented space to a government agency that was much more progressive than us on, well, everything. A couple years back they wanted clarification on what space was set aside to comply with state law on nursing or expressing. I told my boss that designating the less-used women’s restroom on a separate…

True. You’re right on that. He did have a very aggressive challenger last time out who wasn’t inclined to just take the L like is the norm for Erie County Dems in the non-union burbs.

I became a Foxes fan by pure bandwagoning as, after a lifetime of being a casual American fan probably more inclined just to like Man U by saturation, that title year was the first time I had access to every game in real time and I got to watch it unfold. Their struggles since have further kept me interested in a “can…

I’m not clear if it’s just public schools, but in the past few years, the four SUNY “university center” colleges (the big PhD granting/research universities of the system) have gone D1 in all sports and this would be a mechanism to get them some better recruits if you’re going to be paid and almost make the tournament…

Just like Tom Reed a few miles south--as long as the R is by the name, the voters don’t care. 

But in this case, it’s a really high end white Alabama. 

I’ve wanted various Gawker sites to opine on how they saw this Second Civil War breaking down and who various knowledgeable talking heads saw on each side and how that might effect things. It would be, at best (from a handicapping standpoint) a web of shifting alliances, but who are the real players? What are the…

This is all getting too depressing to handle. 

Sort of like the Pirates. They didn’t rezone the neighborhood completely (yet) but the owner has no care what happens on the field as long as the revenue stream is consistent. And the fans keep letting him do it. 

I hate to multicomment, like I’m every leaving the greys anyway, but thank you for some woso coverage.

Tobin Heath takes notes, buys Briseno jersey. 

My first college game was SU and Rutgers in the Dome, right when R was becoming surprisingly respectable. Now both teams are terrible and I’m okay with that. 

Harris has been fiery on twitter today too, including covering this moment and calling out Krieger for getting in her way on another.
