Really glad she’s okay! I understand the urge as a teenager to go off your meds once you start feeling “normal” so you can just be a regular kid. I hope she realizes how helpful they can be to avoid situations like this.

I feel like neither of those thoughts demonstrate either empathy or compassion for a fellow human being and her family who are, it seems, going through some rough shit. I like a contrarian as much as anyone else, but come on.
For all their screeching about Sharia Law and freedom these assholes are basically saying that MAYBE if you put all the interns in burquas they won’t be gross towards them. Maybe. But probably not.
So a woman cuts her hair and stops wearing dresses and heels and still has to cut her internship 3 months short (Hooray women being punished professionally for dicks that are out of their control) and they’re STILL going to try to make the argument that a dress code is going to help. Maybe they can issue binders as…
Society tells us that men should be leaders because they’re superior to women yet they can’t control themselves around women they find attractive. I don’t get it.
FFS. I can suggest they wear very tight nooses around their necks and keep tightening them until they stop blaming the victim. Or until dead. Whichever comes first.
From the linked story:
“Do not rush into a legal dispute, for what will you do later if your neighbour humiliates you? Plead your case with your neighbour, but do not reveal what you were told confidentially, so that the one listening will not put you to shame and you spread a bad report that cannot be recalled.”
I’m sure there is a spiritual dilemma in giving evidence that takes to task the oldest lie religion tells, which is that faith and religion makes people act in a better and more moral manner.
Since this is literally the only thing religion seems to have going for it and is the first tool the faithful with whip out when…
Honestly, that pissed me off. I feel like people don’t want to call them out because it’s so rare that we get films with POC as leads, but bull fucking shit. A lot of WOC, including myself, can’t stand these guys. I can separate the art from the artist, but the problem is the misogyny that characterized the artist…
“I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat on and told to sit down and shut up.” This is followed by an uncomfortable silence. “My part has no value to, probably, what they really want to talk about,”
No the whole drink is covered, it works the same as the free drink reward (or it did up until sept 2014 when I left, One year free woo!) I had a regular come in once and order a venti caramel frap with three shots ($1.50 at the time I believe) a banana ($1) mocha ($.60) Protein Powder ($.60-$1 I cant remember) whip…
We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…
I used to work in a bank, we had another branch less than a quarter of a mile down the road. Pretty much all banks in the UK are only open 0900-1700 (if you are lucky, a lot of them close at 1600) in order to give the most coverage we opened at 0830 and closed at 1630, the other branch was open 0930-1730 so there was…
I was riding my bike the other day, stopped at a red light in the bike lane, and a mother crossing the street right in front of me said to her daughter “Watch out for bikers. They NEVER obey the law” while staring straight at me. As I was very clearly obeying every single traffic law.
Regarding the screaming woman in the pizza place: I did have an occasion once where my then 2.5 year old daughter asked me why some woman was yelling at an employee at my local grocery store. It gave me great pleasure to explain, very loudly, that the yelling woman was mean and nasty and probably very unhappy with her…
The second story reminds me of one of my wife’s tales of waiting tables at Dead Lobster while in grad school.
You gotta love managers who can’t schedule. I had one job where the way the manager decided how many people were needed was by looking at the sales on that calendar day of the previous year - regardless of the day of the week or the weather. Both the day of the week and the weather were the main deciders of how busy…
And then spray her in the face with the little squirt bottle reserved exactly for these instances of being a horrible person.
