I’ve seen kids on the ponies at the fair ride better than that idiot.

Unfortunately, it was actually an instructor that made me leave the events I was participating in. There are always jerks at the events who will make comments about women or worse, but normally the instructors can be counted on to set a chill and respectful tone. I relocated a few years ago and was trying out a new…

In fairness, we don’t know if he was a victim, a witness, or just a kid who heard a rumor about the incident in 2016. The language is really unclear.

I think he’s holding out hope that the Dodgers will take him and the rest is just window dressing. If they don’t (and word is they aren’t trying too hard), I think he’ll be in Miami until they’re ready to.

I’m soooo relieved. He’s talented, but overpaid, and the addition would be crippling for a long time. Not to mention he seems like a bit of a drama llama.

I’ve found that, too. My UPS and USPS packages are almost always on time and UPS always press the buzzer to see if they can get buzzed in instead of leaving a delivery attempt notice. FedEx is almost always late and they will leave a sticky note on the door of the building instead of even trying to get buzzed in.

It depends on the rest of your tax picture whether you actually get a tax cut or not. Do you pay state taxes? Now you get taxed on that money as income. Local taxes? Now you get taxed on that money as income. Do you get a stipend from your college? Congrats, that’s income now, too, so you get taxed on that. And that’s…

This is great if you have something short to say, but I had a sales guy try this on me and his emails were literally like:

I disagree on the replying right away, because I don’t want to write two replies to every email, and because it trains people to expect a reply right away and to panic if they don’t get one. Unless there’s an urgent need for an immediate reply, I generally reply within 24 hours, and most of the people I work with…

I’ve never paid a fee for a gate checked bag. I usually fly United and they’re almost always asking for volunteers.

Huh. In my office “out of pocket” means that you won’t be available via cell or email during normal office hours.

I have that same membership and it’s amazing. I chose the place because it didn’t have the scammy feel that Massage Envy did the one time I went.

She might be insane, but this is how I do it, too. Maybe it’s because of the boobs, but it’s virtually impossible for me to put on a pull-over shirt without getting deodorant on it if I put the deodorant on first.

I used to live across from Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland and it was gorgeous. It’s fine to hang out in there as long as you clean up after your dog (and don’t let it pee on graves, please) and avoid any active services.

What’s your sample size and the basis for claiming this is an “outlier”? Men you personally know? Your own gut feeling? Yeah, that’s what I thought. So why don’t we stop with the bullshit appeal to authority here, since you have less experience than I do in dealing with men online as a woman and neither of us is a…

No, her behavior isn’t typical, but “fabricating relationship[s] on the internet” and attempting to persuade people to send nude photos is absolutely typical male behavior. Your defense of “real” men doesn’t reflect reality at all.

What’s her background that makes her think a man would generally, believably be this manipulative, this needy?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Try online dating for five minutes and come back with a corrected comment. Fabrication and bullying are par for the course among the straight men on those sites.

Precisely. I mean, good for Marcus Aurelius, but I have a life to lead and I’m not interested in spending my waking hours educating people on social justice issues when they haven’t lifted a finger themselves, just like I’m not interested in spending my working hours teaching someone the fundamental functions of Excel…

You could pay people to help you work through it instead of acting like it’s something you’re owed.
