I used to work in an office that offered a paid lunch hour. It was amazing and no one ever had to tell anyone to take a lunch break. I was so much happier and more productive and it was a benefit employees loved. (It helped attract talent. Imagine that!) Eventually they got rid of it and switched to mandated, unpaid…

Yeah, it’s totally not illegal to discriminate against employees on the basis of weight. It’s one of those things that seems like it should be illegal (like discriminating based on gender identity), but is not. Sucks for the Borgata Babes, also sucks for the fat people of the world who get discriminated against and…

Are you a teenager? Because you sound like a teenager. Grow up, or go back to Tumblr or something. You post a bunch of dumb sweeping generalizations about relationships and the problems people have (like, ahem, the “armchair psychiatrists” do) and you reap what you sow. However, I’m sorry that your relationships have…

It’s not necessarily a huge problem. A healthy sex life is about compromise and communication. If one partner is compromising more than the other, and no one’s talking about it, then yes. You have problems. But it’s not insurmountable. Most people have sex drives that vary based on different factors (stress, hormones,…

Emotional support animals need ZERO special training; they are not service animals (who do have special training), they just provide comfort to their owners.

But this whole post is primarily about why the dog was allowed on the plane and where she was seated. Presuming her dog was an emotional support animal (which of course I don’t know), she has a federally protected right to have her dog in the cabin with her (and airlines might have their own policies but emotional…

Her dog could have been an emotional support animal (which is fairly likely, given her behavior here). If she went through the proper procedure beforehand, she’s allowed to have her dog in the cabin with her under the Air Carrier Access Act. It’s a “reasonable accommodation” for people with disabilities.

It says what her charge was in the linked report: She was found guilty of 2nd degree murder. She shot a man 3 times after an argument, and he died 6 weeks later.

I was really happy with my Ipsy this month; the bag was cute, but I also got a nice eyeshadow palette, some pretty decent dry shampoo, a brightening facial moisturizer, the same finishing powder, and lipstick in a perfect color for me.

I think of canceling my Graze subscription every 2 weeks because they send me SO MUCH POPCORN. I get popcorn in every box. I have a collection of Graze popcorn in my cube at work. And as soon as I go through and trash all the items with pecans (because, oh, how I hate pecans), they come out with some new nut mix and…

YEP. I learned this after a break-in while renting a floor in a landlord’s house without renter’s insurance.

I have terrible credit (hello, medical debt!) and I have never had an issue renting an apartment. There are a few reasons for this:

He wasn’t from the Pennsatucky area. He had just moved there.

Innokin Beginner Starter Kit. It’s less than you’d spend on cigs in a month, comes with enough tanks to last several months, and you get some juice to start with as well. (I’m also a menthol fan, and I really like the Extreme Ice flavor, it’s very minty!) Some vapers like the “throat hit” (i.e., the burning feeling…

Well, if we are treating trans men as men, they should not be admitted to a women’s college. They are men. I can understand wanting to attend a women’s college because it can seem like a safe space, but trans men are men, and men should generally not attend women’s colleges.

I got an Innokin Starter Kit and I’m actually using the same system with the same 2 batteries. You have buy replacement tanks but they’re stupid cheap so you can stock up. There are fancier e-cigs out there but I’m totally happy with this; I know some people who have upgraded but the real difference is in having a…

What kind did you get? I have to warn against the e-cigs you buy in convenience stores like Blu and Vuse — you’ll probably end up going back to cigarettes if you try to quit with those. It’s totally worth investing in a good starter kit (like this one, which I started with) and high-quality juice (Mt. Baker Vapor and V…

Vaping helped me quit cigarettes. I know there are lots of alarmist articles on CNN and whatnot saying, “BUT WE DON’T KNOW IF IT’S BAD FOR YOU OR NOT SO THEREFORE IT’S TOTALLY BAD FOR YOU!” but vaping helped me get off the cancer sticks, and I’ve been stepping down my nicotine steadily, and after vaping for awhile,…

I’m 32, and I finally quit for good a year and a half ago. It took a few false starts and I still vape. But I’ll be honest: All the health warnings and growing up and morning coughing and scary PSAs with people missing limbs in the world couldn’t make me quit. I was finally ready to quit when I legitimately hated…

Yeah, I think the mythical “wait list” is mostly a weird marketing ploy (“We’re very exclusive here, and so many people want to be part of our club!”) but it’s really off-putting. Especially when that went hand-in-hand with multiple emails each week asking me to promote them on social media, when I hadn’t gotten…
