As a shy, quiet girl who was bullied a little in school, even I had friends. I knew a really obnoxious jerky guy in middle school, even he had friends. In my experience the people who don’t have any friends, which it sounds like the parents are saying their son didn’t, don’t have friends because they have serious…

I remember hearing about him and Diana as a kid, and maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but didn’t he abuse her? On the news they were talking about Diana, and she said he pushed her down the stairs, as just one example. Always thought that was weird, that he wasn’t put in prison for spousal abuse. Until I got a…

You are a wonderful person! It always makes me feel better about humanity to read stories like yours, thank you!

I’m 99% certain that only applies to trademarks. Copyright is a whole different beast.

My pro tip? Always make the deadline at least an hour before you actually have to submit the order! There will always, always be a few people who think “I need your orders by 11" means “11:45 is fine”, and then have the gall to chew you out for not ordering for them. Of course, if you had gotten them *something* it…

Right! I have 2 mental illnesses that I have been treated for and are under control. If you CHOOSE not to take your meds, you ARE a bad person, and what you do is your fault.

Not to mention postpartum psychosis is really serious. Women have killed their children, killed themselves because of it. This is NOT a “slightly miniscule” thing!

Good point.

Culture.

That’s not quite true. Humans can get all the nutrition they need from plants and animal products, like milk and cheese. Vegans, if they don’t want to die slow agonizing deaths from vitamin deficiencies, have to eat artificially created and fortified foods, because it is literally physically impossible for humans to…

Interesting. I have both religious reasons to eat meat and a doctor-prescribed medical requirement to eat lots of protein at every meal. And unfortunately vegan protein doesn’t satisfy that requirement. But I have never called my friends and family and told them they had to serve me meat. I just eat a little before or…

Great article! One thing I get sick of is people who sneer at you for wanting to learn. Another is people who sigh and humblebrag about how BUSY they are and how they WISH they had as much time as YOU do.

Both meat slicers (deli) and trash and box compacters can be deadly. At the least you can lose fingers and limbs.

YES, thank you!

As much as I have had some great teachers, I have had issues with some of those same great teachers. I really wish we instituted a system where even in small schools assignments were handed in and graded anonymously.

Sounds like you are the kind of person the ban is meant for. Those who bring small children into situations where they don’t belong and wouldn’t be happy.

Came here just to say: Do we think Lizzie did it?

ETA In the linked article you can see a photo of the actual notice they give to parents. It’s exactly the same as written here, and it isn’t in an “angry font” or anything. All the restaurant asks for is a bare minimum of decent behavior from kids and for parents to actually parent their own kids they supposedly want.…

In the linked article he says “he’s never seen such strict rule”. WHAT THE FUCK? No running in a restaurant where there are people carrying giant trays of super hot food? Oh the humanity!

Um, they acknowledged that in the article, as well as the fact that if that is what was intended, the price is much too high for the vast majority of teens.
