I hate open casket funerals. I won’t go up there unless I’m forced (I was on the front row with my grandmother when her third husband died, so I had to go up there) and then I avert my eyes.

Yeah, my dad tried that argument a while back and I had to remind him that when HE spent a couple semesters in college back in late 70's early 80's at only $300 a semester, his $5 an hour job went a LOT further. Plus the fact that the first house he bought (in 1982) cost less than a car does these days. Still didn’t…

Occasionally I find myself passing through Waldo FL. Waldo has a Wendy’s, a gas station and a couple other small businesses. It is not on any mass transit routes. What does someone who lives in Waldo do? Pretty sure that there are more people who want to work at Wendy’s than jobs open. So if we have a free market with…

agreed. The amount of land used to bury bodies seems insane to me. We have tons of open land in the US but it still feels silly. My dream was to have my body shot into space (still is) but have you seen how much it costs to get like a gram of your cremated remains shot into earth orbit (which then fall back to earth…

The McDonalds near me is advertising their wages due to the labor shortage on recruitment posters in the drive-thru - up to $10/hr for regular employees and up to $12/hr for shift managers. They still have a labor shortage. Wendy's, meanwhile, starts at $15/hr and is close to fully staffed. At this point, the…

When I die, I want my remains scattered at Mar-R-Largo.

And man, is the business community getting salty about this. I have seen so many passive-aggressive signs in store windows complaining that “no one wants to work anymore =( ” as if the whole problem is lazy people and not basic economics.

Conservatives only like the free market when it benefits the owners, not the workers.

Thankfully I can put my politicial science degree to use a little bit here.

The interesting thing in the Senate, is the the dual-role that Senators have in both representing their state, and also doing what’s best for the country as a whole. Really, it’s an issue with our federalist structure, but with Senators having…

I will forever sing the praises of that calculator. I kept putting my wide, shallow breasts into 34/36 B cups and *hating* the strange gaping, weird dimpling, unnatural profiles that resulted.  Stumbled onto A Bra That Fits, and now my 32 DD (!!!) plunge bras suit me perfectly.

I’m in ScarJo’s corner, but only because I think the landscape of entertainment like this is changing drastically. I don’t think theaters are going to disappear, but I think more and more people will prefer to watch first run movies at home. Contracts in the cinema industry for blockbusters like this have had a long…

I mean, I would bet they fuck over anyone they can, any way they can, for a buck... but I also doubt this case will help anyone who can't afford to go to court.

Can we not pretend there's such a thing as "trickle-down social justice" lol? Even if she wins its not going to help small content creators afford to sue DISNEY. 

I cannot get over just the sheer audacity of the Disney response. Not just that this multi-billion dollar company is invoking the pandemic tragedy as justification to seemingly breach their contract with Johansson, but then they claim that somehow Disney+ has enhanced her capability of earning additional…

so, basically... you know better than Biles about what happened to her?

And we are all very concerned with your beliefs (also, she did withdraw from the individual competition as well too, so...believe away)

Yes she is a professional athlete, and withdrew from the team event because she felt she might hold the team back if she couldn’t perform to her highest standard. I don’t know why you would rather insist that she suddenly developed a physical condition where she doesnt know where her body is in space, rather than…

I was there in the 12 row on the floor when Moceanu hit her head on the beam and my cousin was in the same seats when Strug landed on one foot on the vault. The whole stadium had cameras and it was worse because in the 90's people had REAL cameras. Whenever they’d go for a move in any category the whole stadium would…

First, has there really been that much criticism, at least my main stream sports media, about Biles’s decision to withdraw?

While I naturally agree on the central theme, a couple of points that I found myself pondering while reading this. First, has there really been that much criticism, at least my main stream sports media, about Biles’s decision to withdraw? At least the major sites I follow have reported it as a shocking decision, which…
