Keeping your hat on makes it look like you’re about to leave. It’s weird and rude.

exactly, the hat thing has nothing to do with fashion, and everything to do with respect.

At the very least, the hat should come off at the table. Come on.

I still say taking your hat off is a sign of respect. Particularly if you’re a guest in someone’s home.  

My mom told me that if I was too embarrassed to buy condoms, then I wasn’t mature enough to be having sex. It was actually pretty effective. 

This whole article just seems weird to me, but I’m trying to frame it as a generational thing. It’s understandable that we’re most comfortable with what we’ve grown up with, but I think Mr. Blum fails to recognize a whole working force out here that doesn’t crumple up into a little ball when their phone rings with...…

The biggest problem with student debt forgiveness, in my opinion, is it does absolutely nothing to address the cost of higher education and what caused this in the first place.

While I don’t pretend to speak for Jewish people (or even Muslims for that matter), I have no problem with my neighbors smoking a pork shoulder or preparing other foods that I don’t eat. If they don’t intend to provoke, I take no provocation. I would hope my neighbors feel the same when I’m grilling with “ethnic”…

In case anyone forgot, Claire is the fucking best.

I tell her basically every time I edit a post. I mean I actually say stuff like, “How dare you make me read that when I don’t have any chicken skin lying around,” but I think she knows what I mean.

Maybe they recently changed from a British to an American format...

timely and useful information, considering the flip flop back and forth design of left to right and right to lefting by kinja layouts

As a kid, my mom was religious and took us to church every Sunday, and all I remember of actually being in a church service as a kid is playing the dot game with my mom on the backs of old receipts and whatever other scraps of paper she found in her purse.

I want to live in this world where a raise means more money to put toward things. This year I got a raise...and my rent went up and grocery prices went up and fuel prices went up and so on. Sure, it would have been nice to send that extra $100 a month to retirement or savings or extra fun. But, that’s just not how…

Smart House is smarter than you thought, eh?

There’s one in everyone’s area code. It’s the non-emergency number for the police department.

To be honest, anything a Baby Boomer says to me is automatically suspect. You idiots spent 50 fucking years sucking off the system and giving nothing back. You've left us all with a hollowed out infrastructure and a flattened financial system. So thanks for that. Don't worry, though. Your kids will clean up your mess…
