IMO no, they are not a scam. Get a stinky old cheese that has been aged and stored correctly and it’s choirs of angels time. But it is possible to ruin cheese - if it smells like cat pee it’s not good. If it’s been stored in plastic for longer than it took to get home it’s compromised. Go find a cheese nerd shop that…

And if $800 didn’t entice people, they should have made better offers until enough people took the bait, not go thug life on some rando.

I just started watching it, and I am hooked.

What about the ugly babies, though? Who is going to speak for them?!

At lunch time at my work you could go out in the parking lot and find dozens of people napping in their cars, including me.

I’ve had good luck with the pieces I bought at J Jill. They don’t the have the ethical made in America cred of AA, but their pieces are holding up nicely after over a year.

I’ve had this problem in my professional life — I thought that it was a Midwest conservative thing, but maybe not. I have frequently taken customers or coworkers to dinner, and was shocked to realize that I had to recruit a chaperone for appearances’ sake. It’s especially acute because I am single. I am a…

I never heard of the Fanta controversy. The truth is way more interesting than the lies. Thanks for posting.

A small but substantial percentage of breast cancer occurs in men. These people are terrible.

Dammit White Collar misled me into believing that FBI agents are classy and competent. Screw you, television.

Right? We already have the moderate republicans; they’re the Wall Street wing of the existing Democratic Party, aka the reason nobody knows what the Dems stand for (except gay marriage). I mean, there are so many noxious beliefs in the Republican Party platform that picking up your toys and going home over one…

I think that “happened” refers to the grief and sadness he felt at losing his heroes, not to the events themselves—but framing Cosby’s crimes alongside the illnesses and death of the others twists the knife extra hard.

I just checked the rating and it’s up to 3-nearly-4 stars as of right now, so it seems Netflix is on it.

Cristela was gone too soon. The creepy cousin in law was a confusing downer and should have been jettisoned or resolved, but the workplace stuff was insightful, and the family dynamic between the sisters was interesting and counterintuitive.

If the leadership has the votes to pass the bill without him AND your district voters are strongly motivated by Great Lakes issues to the point that your district could flip, then they may allow him to vote against the bill. The Republican Party is so, so good at maintaining discipline; if his vote is needed for some…

So they can schedule a round of layoffs to get rid of the high risk employees...

This. Hamas does concrete things like provide food, schools, and emergency cash assistance. They have run an effective “hearts and minds” campaign that doesn’t line up with the all hat, no cattle crew they’re being lumped in with.

Ok so we’ve narrowed it down to 30-some states. 🤔

Renault, Nissan, BMW et al came to the US south specifically to get away from their domestic unions. Corporations can’t feel shame; they are not people. Anthropomorphism is easy, but dangerous. You can’t shame a company into doing better; it either has to be a choice made to improve the bottom line (carrot) or a legal…

And GM, at least, decided to try for a “disposable car” model of business wherein cars were designed to hit their end of life at less than 100,000 miles. My dad bought one of these POS - it was a Buick Skylark in 1981 or 82. At one point (I can’t recall if it was 70k or 80k) this piece of white plastic fell in and…
