Everyone to their own - but I find both the soft white and daylight Phillips SlimStyle bulbs to be quite acceptable. Put a soft-white in a fixture w/incandescents, and I can’t tell a difference.

Well done.

Heard someone talking at the next table last night. “It’s perfectly okay to not vaccinate your kids. You just have to make sure that everyone else vaccinates theirs.”

You want to see a win against racism?

But it gets clicks. THAT is the most important thing.

You’ll probably be told they’re not REAL Hawaiians - because if they WERE really Hawaiian, they’d be offended.

“I don’t interpret the rules, I just make them up as I go along looking for something to be offended by.” - Beth.

She needs to leave a big steaming pile of outrage first thing or her day is just wasted...

This. >>> At a certain point, hurt though someone might be, it’s unreasonable to expect the rest of the world to anticipate or even heal your wounds—both real and potential. If this woman cannot handle working in a male-dominated environment, one in which jokes absolutely will be made (trust me), then she shouldn’t.

And she’s going to find other things to be offended about, most likely.

Of course they apologized - that’s what decent folk do when they’re told they’ve offended someone.

Seems like she really needs professional help.
