But back then, they called it capitalism.

There was a time when the CEO of McDonald’s made about ten times as much as one of his lowest tier employees, and he thought it was a travesty of justice. Not 100,000 times as much, but 10 times as much. He felt ashamed because the board offered him so much money for doing so very little. He felt ashamed at making…

Don’t. Just don’t. Don’t explain one damn thing as to why you take birth control pills. It is none of their fucking business. If they don’t like paying for your medication, they can leave society. Being part of one means we all contribute to things we don’t agree with. I’m not fond of paying for many but tough shit,…

This insult only works because we place such a low value on human labor. Capitalists believe all of these blue collar jobs just get done. I’ve worked at factories, and I can assure you that the work doesn’t just get done. People do it.

Soon they’ll have a binder full of black people.

Only if we can also kill the phrase "borderline genius."

I got a free shot glass-sized sample of the S’mores frappuccino. I was like good god almighty, I just consumed my allowance of sugar for the next week and a half.

I’m allergic to crispy!

While we’re at it, can we stop calling tips “hacks”?!?!

She stopped eating meat a year ago, so she has fully transcended from her, like, baser instincts.

On one hand, it implies that the lives of livestock are worth the same as, or possibly more than, human beings held in slavery. On the other hand, it dehumanizes human beings held in slavery (both historically, i.e. Black people enslaved in the US, and those who are still in slavery today all over the world) by…

It never ceases to amaze me that these Teahadist idiots keep bringing up the Nazis; they should be doing everything than can to AVOID mentioning them. I think the comparison is unbelievably crass and insulting for any group that isn’t actively engaged in genocide, but since these morons insist on bringing them up…

I know, it’s a bit shocking. It’s not like London is steeped in any other kind of ‘history.’ Personally, I think a Ripper exhibit should open at all of the airports, and visitors could ‘step back in time!’ into a city-wide theme park celebrating old Jack.

As a London resident, I can say we don’t have nearly enough Jack the Ripper tourist traps. I wholeheartedly applaud this man’s innovative (and may I say... daring!) vision. This is a great day for female murder victims.

Thank you.

Who goes out on a first date in a big forest alone? That screams “YOU WILL BE MURDERED” to me.

The Pacific NW has a few name issues and anxieties. The aforementioned “portland/portland, me is one thing and I saw the mention of Dallas Oregon (add The Dalles, Oregon to really make it fun)

I have taken a page from my mother's book on tipping - I almost always try to give cash to a driver or waiter to prevent the owner or employer from taking the tip. Mom had started asking her waiters if they got their tips and was surprised how many times she was told they had to share or pool tips (or even that they…
