We have mental health problems in Australia too. Guess what we don’t have? Legal semi-automatic or automatic weapons, or a single mass shooting since they were outlawed and “bought back” by the *conservative* government in 1996. IT’S THE GUNS, AMERICA. IT’S THE GUNS.

Excluding people based on national origin doesn’t even sound like extreme vetting. It sounds like lazy-ass vetting—like ‘hmm we could do actual background checks on people everywhere even if they’re being brought in on the family rule—NAH let’s just exclude everyone from the countries I don’t like.’

“However, the people on the other side of the aisle would say that guns are protected under the 2nd amendment.”

Not a gun nut, but live in a very gun nut area.

Celeste makes the best single-serving pizza, but I usually cook two, flip one upside-down on top of the other, and eat that shit like a sandwich.

Thank you. It’s always a blow to have a condition I have no control over be blamed for these things. After having my illness cost me every job I’ve ever had and flunking out of 4 colleges, I’m finally applying for benefits that are almost nonexistent and certainly will not be nearly adequate if I’m fortunate enough to…

That mental health excuse would carry a lot more weight if the people using it weren’t actively ripping apart the healthcare safety net the mentally ill depend upon.

Of course, the unsaid postscript to the mental health excuse is “...and we’re not going to bother tackling that one, either.”

I fucking hate the “Mental Health” excuse shit. Not only is it demeaning to people who do actually suffer mental health problems and aren’t just domestic abuser thugs but they always go “every country has the problem”.

This is the absolute worst offense possible when it comes to food in the office. It’s one thing to do it on accident and burn the popcorn (still worthy of employment termination as the smell is the worst) but to do it on purpose?!?! FIRST THING IN THE DAMN MORNING??!! He should be put in jail. No way that guy should…

My first honeymoon started out as a disaster (and the fact I called it my first honeymoon tells you how the marriage turned out).

Tried that. HR* came back and said “we can’t restrict or ban food from being consumed, it might tread on religious, or health care related freedoms”.

I’m 34...this was also not a thing when I was a kid. Maybe it’s a regional thing? IDK.

But slightly-meat-juice-soaked bread is the best part. It’s like sandwich stuffing.

Our office building banned microwave popcorn after several 2,000+ person evacuations due to people leaving it unattended and causing the fire alarm to go off.

I never understood this parents bringing snacks thing, it was never a thing when I was a kid (I’m only 26) is this some new age bullshit that I’m going to have to deal with when I have kids? Fuck that shit, feed your own kids when you get home.

People who microwave fish (good or bad) in the office kitchen should be taken outside and put in stocks. They are garbage humans and deserve no compassion from any of us.

I once knew someone who put butter on PB&Js. That was weird.

It’s total fucking heresy but: The Duane Reade frozen pizza is actually pretty decent, and it’s super cheap. Seriously, it a perfect drunk food, pop one in the oven and eat the entire thing before bed. It’s kinda perfect.

I love popcorn, but people who make popcorn, burnt or not, in an office, are monsters.
