Ahhh I have really mixed feelings about all of the PA hate going down in this article and the comments. On the one hand: everything you posted is true and it is all terrible. On the other hand: I grew up in Amish country, and I have so much affection in my heart for that conservative shithole. I remember when our town…

Same! People gave me shit all of the time in college for my insane procrastination... until I graduated valedictorian.

I'm not saying it's a great approach, and I'd never advocate it for someone else— I'm just saying that there are way more factors at play than what time you submit the assignment. Procrastination is…

Yeah, all the videos of this dog are a little too staged for me to fully appreciate them the way I want to. I'm assuming they play music in the background because otherwise we'd hear the owner giving commands. The dog is really cute and smart, though.

Please keep these recaps coming! I strongly approve of your hilarious and excited responses to the Claire-Jamie interactions. Am I the only person who got really jazzed in the beginning when a torso-less kilt appears above her head and was deeply disappointed to learn that it wasn't Jamie's? I swear the writers are…

I don't have a legal or free answer to that question, unfortunately. I use the program Graboid.

Yeah, I think you're right. And what you mention in your first paragraph there is exactly why I try not to overreact to comments from that type of guy .Because even though it is infuriating for me, I figure they have probably never been challenged to think about the accumulated impact of their behavior. And me being…

I definitely believe this. But I think there is another kind of catcalling as well. The kind you describe is just entertainment for the men— they don't expect anything out of it, they tend not to be offended if a woman dismisses them. As a woman, that kind of catcalling is annoying and distracting and insulting and…

I've never eaten rabbit myself, and I don't know if I could, even though intellectually I understand it's no different than chicken, which I will eat. But I, too, feed rabbit based recipes to my cats. It's a great alternative protein for dogs and cats with food allergies. And a lot more sensible than a vegetarian…

Agree with this comment so much. And I LOVE your username. You are my favorite person of the day.

Sometimes no one in the group can afford to temporarily take the hit for the entire table. That can be really expensive...

I know? I'm talking about the specific kind of accident that occurred to the man in this article, or the man in Florida, or the parents in this heartbreaking article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/maga…

I couldn't believe it when I started reading this article. At first I thought it was the same story and maybe the date was just wrong... Nope. 2 babies dead in 1 week from being forgotten in cars. I can't even imagine how these parents are going to cope with what they've done. It wasn't intentional, but how can you…

This just happened 3 days ago to a 9 month old infant in Florida. Blerg. http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/cri…

I've had a very similar experience working for a pet store chain. Many things are run horribly because that's the way they've always been done since someone who has never even worked at the store level decided they should be done that way. And then you suggest a change that makes 100% more sense than the old way, and…

Also, and I saw someone mention this below, research brands to learn if "made in USA" actually means "sourced in USA," because sometimes companies will be sneaky. But brands like Earthborn and Nature's Variety are wonderful and open about where their ingredients come from.

Pet store employee here. Several customers and employees regularly taste or wholly consume dog treats. It's not even an uncommon thing. No one eats the jerky, though... That's gross. Also, treats made in the USA will specify so on the packaging, and there are several American made brands, so just stick to those when…

I struggle so much with this as a future English professor. On one hand, I'm expected to teach students how to use standard academic English and hold them to high standards regarding proper usage. On the other hand, I agree with all of the comments here and feel it's elitist and discriminatory to punish alternative…

Yes. I'm a cashier, and I'm constantly treated like a second class citizen. If I accidentally make some little mistake during checkout, I'm treated like an idiot instead of a human who made an error— as humans are prone to do from time to time. When I'm not the primary cashier at a local store, I'm busy applying and…
