Yeah, when I worked in retail/food service, I had no problem working most national holidays. Want me to work Labor Day? Sure. But, it's funny, your friend who "loves working on time and a half days" still doesn't work on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Those are, really, the most important ones for most people and…

That's not true - up until a few years ago, department stores and big box retailers were closed. That's recently been changing, and being able to see such a stark change happen year over year is what is making people frustrated. Sure, some non-essential bars and restaurants might always have been open, but I guess…

I think the difference, though, is for some people, time-and-a-half isn't worth it for them to miss out on family togetherness. We can't just assume that an extra 4 dollars an hour is some amazing "blessing" that these shoppers are bestowing on people who likely don't get a lot of opportunities to spend with their…

Because things like hospitals, gas stations, etc. are 24/7 necessities. Shopping for a bargain price on a TV isn't.

It's okay to morally judge people who go shopping on Thursday, forcing underpaid hourly workers to miss Thanksgiving merriment with their families, right? Shoppers on Thursday are just bad people, period.

The 'percussion'/'beat' people in a cappella is always the most amazing to me. A lot of people grow up singing and taking classes, etc., but I feel like their roles are usually self taught (maybe I'm wrong!) and such MAGIC. Looking at their lips move and figuring out how they sound exactly like a set of drums is…

And we're done:

Oh, it gets better: "It needs to snow, so that I have the list of recently proposed legislation in Congress?" Does this mean that I'm THAT facebook friend who posts about annoying political shit all the time on facebook. Oh, brother.

Oh, Jesus, what sort of crazy shit have I been spewing on my facebook page:

It's harder than making sandwiches and not writing a blog post about it. But I'm not about to wring my hands over the hard work of people who get book deals over sandwich blogs.

I disagree - I thought this was a lot more entertaining version of Masterchef than some of the recent seasons - all of the kids were sweet (even the little blonde girl who liked to mimic goofy adult reality sayings) and supportive of one another and there was so little interpersonal drama. Just a lot of little kids…

It was my first weeks in high school and we were reading the Scarlet Letter in English. At the time, I remember I had just convinced my mother to buy me a second pair of jeans ("Why do you need more than one jeans?") and I thought the height of fashion was matching my socks to my wildlife preservation t-shirts. So,…

I agree - if nothing else, this would be a good way to figure out if your kids have anger issues. Like that car kicking kid - that was wayyyy over the top.

I want to get some parenting tips from the parents of the kids who reacted with an "It's okay." Also, I will be using "You don't even have a gallbladder" as a retort to anyone who annoys me from now on.

I know, those sweeties break my heart.

Jesus. No. First I never said "tribulation" so you can keep that out of "scare quotes" throughout your whole comment. When someone walks up to you, within a zone of personal space most people like to keep in public, stands in front of you and says "good morning" yes, it's a lot more aggressive than some friendly…

I'm not asking for it to be centered around black men, just not to make the claim that somehow white women were worse off than black men.

They did sign a consent form for this.

Sexual violence CAN be gendered. This is not an example of it.
