I’d love to hear about results from this. I’m a former youth services librarian and have seen so many tech programs start without follow through. So many in my profession think young people just figure out technology without help, but my students lacked even the most basic computer skills. Some of our students also

But it doesn’t work for the students who don’t have a home computer or internet access.

If that doesn’t work, just arrange for them to be locked in a room or trapped in an elevator together. Magic.

Yes. Like, can’t you just like me for me?

Yeah, I think being a regular also plays into whether or not you should tip. I often look at tipping as part of forming a relationship with local staff. When I go to a coffee shop I typically just order black coffee or iced tea, so I don’t always tip, but if it’s really busy or if I’ve come in multiple times that

As far as I know most hostesses are paid at least minimum wage, if not a little more. The restaurant I worked for was pretty shitty to its workers, a chain that rhymes with fonebish grill.

I usually tip a dollar or two on takeout because when I was a hostess, takeout orders involved a lot of scrambling while also managing the hostess stand and phones. But I also only made $3/hour as a hostess with tipouts from servers who rightfully didn’t want to share their tips. I didn’t make enough to cover the gas

They’re setting it up to be the ONLY solution to his refusal to bend the knee. They have to come to some kind of arrangement.

When his money spilled I thought he was about to desert. I guess Bronn is deciding whether he wants to be a sellsword or a real knight—or at least help out his BFF Jaime.

The governor in my state started threatening state reps to switch parties after he got elected. This seems to be a republican strategy.

I feel like it works best if you use it for a few weeks to see what your food habits are and use it to adjust how you eat. I can’t keep up with logging daily, too much effort and it makes me start skipping meals. But sometimes it was nice to see how much I was actually eating on a normal day and what recipes were

Calorie counting apps always had me skipping meals so I could drink a beer after work. It became too obsessive and since I cook most of my meals from scratch, it was really difficult and time consuming to program calorie counts. When I focus on buying more vegetables, reducing the amount of meat I eat, making sure

Trump tweeted that he would [verb] [basic civil right] and restated his commitment to Make America [adjective] Again!

But like the Queen of Thorns I lack the imagination to mentally prepare for these daily news alerts.

Shut down the comment thread, this is the hottest take.

I think you’re projecting.

It’s interesting to me that you’re saying pouty Bernie voters made Hillary lose because she didn’t give people what they want. So now, instead of putting their efforts into educating people about labor issues, single-payer healthcare, and raising the minimum wage; they’re choosing to allow in pro-birth candidates

I am telling you that in my state, which previously had Democratic control, anti-choice Democrats voted with Republicans to enact restrictive anti-abortion laws. Because this isn’t the same as voting in a couple of socialists, this is voting in people who have another block of elected officials who agree on these

In what universe is Obama “super liberal”? He absolutely did not openly support gay marriage until 2012; during his first election he would only say he was OK with civil unions. I enthusiastically campaigned and voted for him and maintain a strong respect for many of things he was able to do; despite disagreeing with

Yes, they’re open to sacrificing the civil liberties of women to attempt to sway voters who are unlikely to vote for Democrats anyway. If you have anti-choice Dems in Congress they aren’t going to be there to protect women’s healthcare.
