I must admit, learning to work in these industries is absolutely useful. People are in there for the time being anyway...isn’t it more important to work a job where you learn a skill rather than scrubbing floors? I get that the pay is bullshit, though. That’s the primary issue I see. That leads into affecting smaller…

The city I recently moved to has more Chick Fil A’s than anywhere I’ve seen. It’s WEIRD. There’s only one Arby’s within five miles, keep in mind this is a reasonably sized city, so maybe Chick Fil A just bought most of their competitors out. There’s also a disproportionate number of Zaxby’s here, so maybe this is just…

I don’t mind it, but I don’t wanna see it or be around when it’s happening.

I read the book and it came off as pretty honest to me. Holly was admitting her own flaws and poor decisions along with everyone else’s, and had mostly complimentary things to say about the other women she met and worked with, especially Bridget. Kendra is playing right into the persona Holly describes with this kind…

Hurr durr. I broke my hymen in a very uncomfortable biking incident when I was around 9 or 10. I guess I’ll just have to face a life without one of these wonderful men to tell me how worthless I am on the reg.

It all starts with the back-to-school feeling, a sensation beloved by freaks. This feeling is prim, ambitious, organized, high-strung, pedantic and subtly deviant if sustained over time.

I’ve had one story-worthy meet cute and what makes it ~*magical*~ is the spontaneity. We were both taking a class where the professor insisted on a personal getting-to-know you, speed dating type exercise for everyone the first day. We gravitated toward each other and found out we had nearly everything in common,…

Because lawyers are definitely the number one cause of contraband in prison. Christ on a cracker, “metal detectors can’t tell the difference between an underwire and a gun”. Wouldn’t even the tiniest gun be discernible unless you have sandbags like mine, in which case it’s just inviting you to shoot yourself with your…

Yeah, I’m not gonna declare that their feelings are wrong, but I also don’t think judicial decisions should be made based on feelings. I can understand the pain and revulsion so many people feel toward those who managed to escape justice back when it would have served a purpose, but I maintain my position that taking…

I would be willing to try all of this except cutting dairy. Life without cheese is no life for me.

As a fellow convert, that’s been my experience as well. After a certain point you have to let the wound start healing. The resources that would potentially be used in a trial like this could be allocated to synagogue-run charities, immigration and rehousing initiatives, or to prosecute active war criminals.

I think of it as a practical question. If the chances of her dying while the trial is going on are quite high (and let’s be real, these trials can last a very long time depending on circumstances), it’s a waste of resources. In a perfect world and judicial system she would have had to answer for her crimes long ago,…

I really don’t know what to think of this. The idea that drives the justice system is, ideally, to serve justice. What justice is served to an old lady who aided in horrific things, but probably won’t survive to the end of the trial? A bunch of money is spent on the process but nothing comes of it, except some people…

I just moved to a state where tanning is the norm, even in winter, and it’s SO WEIRD. I used to tan because it helped with dermal allergies until I had a bit of a scare, and that turned me off forever, but I’m not sure if I ever took it as far as the women (and some men) do here. They say they “don’t want to glow in…

Mr. and Ms. unless they are a doctor, professor, etc. I rarely even bother with Mrs. because even if I know they’re married, I dunno if they kept their last name. Manners 101, if they want to be called something else they’ll definitely tell me. When I was a teacher I let the kids call me Ms. Firstname, but when they…

I tell em I’m not going if I’m not. The joys of being chronically busy, I don’t have to feel as guilty. Now the dislike button.....we’ll see how that turns out, it could either go really well or really badly. If it’s not optional and people start abusing it, I won’t be using facebook much anymore.

Cut your friends list in half, then see how it feels. If there are people you can’t unfriend without repercussions, unfollow and put them on restricted view for your own page. Facebook is a fantastic tool if you get rid of the drama and the politics.

I agree, but I just can’t with people who are actually taking it personally and getting legit angry about it. If their self worth is THAT tied up in being a parent to a child it points to some problems with them, not with Cattrall. It’s not like she’s snatching up their children saying “yes, I am your mother now”.…

Jesus. That’s some next level shit, good riddance. My facebook friends were laying it on pretty thick but I didn’t see anything like that, although one of my friends referred to an Arab accent (which later turned out to actually be Spanish) as a “terrorist accent”. -_-
