We have a really big fucking problem as a country when we entirely equate “how far someone can go” with how much cash they can hoard.

This is most likely about increasing benefits for employees while not wanting to spend a fortune to reprint menus. 

I had this happen. I lost my two front teeth and my health insurance wouldn’t cover it. I had to beg four thousand dollars off of family and friends to have a double root canal and really shitty replacement teeth made. 

Because some of us have really shitty insurance with five thousand dollar deductibles which essentially means we only have coverage for life-saving medical procedures.  

Exactly. You don’t have the right to occupy someone’s couch for the rest of forever. Go home. If I invited a man home with me and made out but he decided not to go any further but just decided to hang out in my living room I would be furious—and call him an uber. The fury not being related to sex but to the idea that…

You can’t compare the wealth of rich people and poor people because they’re, like, two different species...shrug. 

Can anyone figure out how Ed and Madeline would ever have ended up together because I just don’t see it. It’s hard to feel one way or another about them when it feels like Ed just wandered into the set from a Kids in the Hall sketch.

Not even allowing her to bid is super fucked up. Artists should have first right of refusal. 

I work at a college and I see this all the time. Spring hits and it’s just girl after girl with her jersey dress ruched up her butt. It’s not a good look especially when you add Florida humidity and the dreaded effects of swamp ass. 

This is the only sane response. 

That’s not at all how my campus works. Classrooms are allocated by a computer program that runs statistics on efficiently filling classroom space. Also, none of the whiteboards or blackboards are great because they’ve been abandoned in favor of stupidly expensive, unnecessary tech. 

Coming here just to throw shade at people who do puppy and goat yoga--even though I will never say such things to their faces. 

In academia I had to bro it up so hard to stay relevant in my department. Most of the women in my cohort never finished. I’m not proud of what I did to stay in the game, I hate that my behavior reinforced the culture in that department, but it’s crazy fucking difficult to change systemic problems at the individual…

Idk about being overpaid. At my college,  full-time faculty only start at 39,000--not much when you’re carrying a hundred grand in student loans and have completed a PhD. 

Just a point of clarification: even full professors don’t usually have designated classrooms or a reliable schedule. Our schedules and classrooms are determined by student demand across the campus and across multiple departments. Sometimes in the middle of semester we have to take on additionally classes when other…

I had to. We had a premmie who never latched properly so she only got pumped breastmilk.

We have a three bedroom and a five year old. Everyone gets their own room. Personal space is great. 

They already face that risk. Being an introvert in the service industry is fucking hard. 

Some of us communicate for a living. We talk and lecture all day at work. We go home to families and friends and then talk all night. Just because I don’t want to chitchat on my way to the airport doesn’t mean I lack humanity. It means once every three months or so I’d like some quiet--a totally human feeling because…

It literally makes their job easier to know what you want before the interaction starts. I say this as someone who worked in the service industry for over a decade. Having to guess the level of personal connection every single customer wants is a fucking nightmare.
