My family has had White Sox season tickets between home and 1st base, 18 rows up, for the better part of 20 years. Not a humble brag, just means we’re dumb enough to pay more than the seats are worth at this point.

“...no amount of knee pain would keep me from collecting those paychecks.”

Leeway given because I have no technical knowledge of the cognitive abilities of peacocks. Hyperbolically, literally anything is smarter than Trump.

I dunno, they make horrible noises though.

Meanwhile, the reinvented Phillies have managed to completely implode two months earlier than last year, with a much higher payroll. Progress!

The Phillies are Metsing even harder than the Mets, though. 

The housing market is brutal in some parts of the country.

Counterpoint: you can still have friends when you’re old, and having a family isn’t the be-all-end-all of existence. Some of us actively don't want kids.

It’s strictly a coincidence that the Polio vaccine innoculations and Ray Kroc’s aquisition of McDonald’s happened around the same period in time. Note that the number of reported cases of Polio dropped year by year as the number of McDonald’s outlets multiplied almost exponentially. So-called “scientists” and…

My mom and dad went to the Anti-Vaccine conference and all I got was this lousy case of measles.  

Did you try this?

Shazam was good, and its entire story didn’t hinge on a ridiculous infinite underground bunker delivered sans world building, so it was better than at least one of the films on this list.

and stop posting requirement for degrees well above the job tier, especially for an entry-level pay scale. Don’t list a master’s degree as a requirement for an administrative assistant position that pays $30K/yr.

As someone who has worked in HR I can honestly say that HR wishes they could do these things as well. However, it’s typically company policy to interview at least X number of qualified candidates for a position, even if we already have a qualified internal candidate.

not fair! At the end of 31 day months there are 2 odd days in a row.

I took advantage of a really cheap fare to Ireland once on a mainline US airline. I fly that airline for business a lot, so I have status. It was Thanksgiving morning (a family member had passed a few months earlier , so everyone in the family wasn’t too keen on celebrating the holidays that year) and I had to take a…

I once got upgraded to first class on a 630 AM flight. I was so excited, free booze! Being that it was my first time in first class and it was the start of my vacation, I had to take advantage, regardless of the time of day.

This probably isn’t even a question. But is there a worst decision than trying to sleep next to your kid?

Wow...fuck Brad. If he had been my roommate, he'd have been lucky to live through two weeks of that shit before waking up in a strange place with no idea how he got there, and coyotes sniffing at his toes.

At my job you get a discount on your health insurance if you take a health screening once a year. They take your blood pressure, measurements, analyze your blood sample and have you fill out a survey then give you a rating of your health from 1 to 100. I keep myself in decent shape. I’m in my early thirties, no…
