Once a guy at some sandwich place started making my cheese-and-veggies sandwich right after a sloppy tuna for another customer. Tuna salad was all over his gloves (and obviously getting into my food). I gently said, “nevermind,” and left.

I’ve been in more than one Deli in New York where the countermen wore gloves preparing food and wore the same gloves handling money.

The problem also is that, at least in my restaurant experience, you’re less likely to realize you need to wash your hands if you’re wearing gloves. When I get something on my hands, I can feel it, and so know that they need to be washed. Wearing gloves makes me less able to feel when sauces, spices, oils, etc. are on…

People I’ve worked with seem to think that gloves are some powerful germ-repelling item, like still handling money and things wearing them, or wearing the same pair forever. Handwashing is so much better.

That’s the bottom line for me: if someone’s going to fuck up handwashing, they’re going to fuck up glove use. Mandatory glove laws don’t help anything.

Some guy walked by me with a dog that licked my face.

Honestly? The answer to when you tell a kid “Ya know, you could lose a little bit of weight” is “never.” There is never any reason for you to tell her such a thing. Unless your child is locked in a cage and never interacts with society in any way, she is going to grow up aware of what body types are valued. She is…

They already do and they always have Nancy. Let’s change it.

The poor man’s Psych.

So this is going to be a 5-4 split with Kennedy deciding, right?

The more things change, the more they stay the same. When abortion was first made illegal in the late 1800s, pro-life doctors argued that abortions were dangerous and making them illegal was in the best interest of women’s health. This is pretty much what they’re doing now. And in both cases, the end goal was never to…

As a current Texas resident - though hopefully not for much longer - I want to be hopeful about this, but am finding it difficult. Scalia and his cronies worry me too much.

I’m scared.

I understand the intrinsic need for legal procedure and protocol in our society but there should be like five times a year where we can just push a button that invokes a ruling of common sense over shit like this.

Or Trump naked with a bunch of dead fish.

Could be worse. Could be a topless Trump calendar.

My niece may never win a beauty contest but to me she is the most beautiful girl in the world. I’m being honest when I call her ‘lovely’ and ‘beautiful girl’ - in the eyes of this beholder she really is.

I'm fine with people telling their kids they're beautiful as long as it's not just the girls getting this treatment. Kids definitely notice when the girls are largely complimented with "pretty" or "nice" while boys are complimented with "smart" or "brave".

You could actually click the link provided in the article and read the abstract to see whether the study actually supports the headline (which, incidentally, uses the words “purport” and “tends,” which are pretty big qualifiers). Or, probably, you could just lob an unfounded accusation at the author before bothering…

If you don't live in a giant city, and you take everything with a grain of salt, it can be useful.
