I think you’d make your employees who came to work pretty angry if they found out they could have gotten paid to stay home.

She’s married, but you could still say that it’s because she’s a woman who dares to run for public office.

Wait, when did I say background checks for passengers is more realistic than dividers? I specifically said background checks for passengers was “a different question” than it is for drivers (aka, not realistic) and that telling people to put dividers in their personal cars was also not realistic.

I know someone whose cat bit her hand. She thought nothing of it, it was a pretty small puncture, but the next day she started running a fever. She went to urgent care and they gave her antibiotics. The next day, her hand was extremely swollen and her fever was sky high. She ended up getting hospitalized for IV antibio…

I think you are right that there is a benefit and hopefully a crime deterrent by having a ride record. They can background check their drivers, but the riders are a different question and I’m not sure what they can do. It’s a job with a lot of risks. I know some cabs are outfitted with dividers between the driver and…

Ok, but The Office did not come up with the “That’s what she said” joke. It has been around for a very long time.

This is the most logical reason.

My mom was supportive when I got mine, but she also told me I wasn’t allowed to use a tampon because I wouldn’t be a virgin anymore.

At my brother and his wife’s baby shower his MIL spent the entire time bossing everyone around while drinking vodka out of a water bottle. She yelled at her husband to go out and get more when she ran out, and then proceeded to vomit all over the one bathroom in the building. The entire shower was made up of mostly…

Fair enough. I will say, and this is a good example of it, that we all sometimes judge people who make what we consider extraneous purchases when they are “poor.” Either we deem them not actually poor (this case) or stupid/taking advantage of the system. In reality, everyone makes bad financial decisions sometimes,…

Bad financial planning =/= poor

Um, no.

It was a string of nonsensical words, numbers, and special characters that were changed completely every time. I didn’t notice any other weirdness on my email, but I changed the password on that too. I was on a Mac. It was pretty weird but I gave kudos to the hacker for changing my language settings. That was a…

A few years ago my Netflix account got hacked by someone in Germany. I noticed when I started having weird things on my queue. No big deal, I changed my password. But they got back in again, and started watching more weird shit. So I changed my password again. Apparently this really made them mad, because they got…

Yes, I love this one too.

The Nativity by Georges de La Tour.

Yeah, I’m sure I’d be able to get to the gym every morning too if I had my own personal gym and staff to make my green smoothie for me.

Exactly. I read the book The Girls Who Went Away (highly recommend), and one of the stories that really stuck out for me was a woman who was forced into a home for unwed mothers as a young girl and had her baby taken away to be adopted. She said later in life she had an abortion, and she never once regretted it, but…

He was naked to the point of not having any clothes on. The duvet was his only cover, and under the duvet he was naked. She could feel the nakedness of her own body under her clothes. She realized, in a sense, everyone was naked. But he was very naked.
