You got scolded because you disclosed someone else’s confidential information without their permission. You had no business seeing that check, so repeating that information to others was completely out of line and in many places would have gotten you written up or fired (this would be akin to reading someone’s diary…

... and he does realize that the Constitution of the United States would specifically prohibit the workings of government - even a municipal one - within the United States from being dictated by tenets of Islamic law, because as you pointed out, it’s a religion.

Dammit, why isn’t “thou shalt not suffer an idiot to live” more of a thing?

Well, unlike certain chickenhawks who love wars as long as they don’t have to fight in them and love the soldier but hate the veteran, she’s recognizing that if we’re going to send people to war, we damn well better take care of them once they’re back/

In fairness, I don’t think he was looking for death prevention so much as liability and accountability.

I’m pretty Libertarian leaning, yet I can see the sense in this. Regulations should exist where the individual can not be expected to be able to police their own safety. For example, I can’t personally go inspect the conditions at every food plant that manufacturers and packages the food I eat.

I’m in the same boat as you: every product, never ever stood in line for a single one. I’m ordering a new Apple TV now lol. I’ll happily watch one of these movies if they come across my Netflix recommendations but otherwise can’t be bothered.

I own pretty much every Apple product, including the goofy watch, though I've never actually stood in a line for anything so maybe I'm still not that much of a fangirl. That said, I had zero interest in that movie even though I really like my phone. If I care to see something like it, I'll watch Pirates of Silicon…

If a hotel or a B&B has (and especially if they advertise it as a reason for booking with them) a service or amenity that then malfunctions and kills a guest, they are liable. Because they know they are clearly going to be held liable should such a thing occur, they put some of their resources into making sure…

SHOCKINGLY, amenities at hotels are inspected for safety- pools, gyms, saunas, ect. Most likely, had this been a hotel, safety standards would’ve meant that the swing wouldn’t have existed in the first place. I know, I know, logic is hard sometimes for the “any regulation is the death of everything because…

The cognitive dissonance is basically bouncing off the walls here....

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

because they are, except they use chocolate made out of despair and toothpaste made out of tears.

Thank you they're DISGUSTING

Thin mints taste like chocolate and toothpaste on a cookie.

The level of professionalism (or lack thereof) is astounding. And considering the anti-intellectual strain in the Republican party, I have to wonder if they’re doing it on purpose. “We should add an apostrophe to the end of this plural noun even though it isn’t a possessive because otherwise our electorate will think…

There are a couple of apostrophes in that letter that I’ll have nightmares about tonight.

Gotcha Questions, i.e. actual information that you as a leader of a large country should know/have an opinion on, but you don’t because you’re not prepared/it reflects badly on you.

If they don’t want “lightening” rounds, can we have some “enlightening” rounds?

“Because I love my children and I want to be home on Sundays and Saturdays like most people doesn’t mean I’m for taking money from hardworking taxpayers to create a brand new entitlement program.”
