What are you supposed to do if given the choice to either resign or be fired?

It’s interesting that you quote the 2nd Amendment in its entirety but, much like the right-wing legislators in robes who sit on the Supreme Court, you pretend that the first part has no meaning.

According to The Simpsons, “motivated seller” means “the house is on fire.”

The tip about being courteous to the person scheduling the interview is an important one, but too narrow: be courteous to everyone. I used to work in an office where the office manager, whose official role in the interview process was escorting the candidate upstairs from the lobby, used to weigh in on each candidate.…

So now that I’ve been cited in an article--thanks for that, by the way!--how do I get my comments out of the greys?

When I nearly asked out someone I really hit it off with at an event hosted by my college alumni association and realized that, even though she was a college graduate, she was too young for me.

I don’t think you understand what “not a beach person” means. There is absolutely nothing appealing to me about roasting under the hot sun on a big pile of sand.  Your tips to make the visit slightly less annoying won’t actually make it a preferable alternative to sitting in front of the TV with the air conditioning…

Eh.  If I didn’t have my Fitbit I’d probably get about 2,500 steps per day.  Some of us need the gamification to motivate us to move.

“Getting someone’s name right is about more than just politeness—it’s an issue of inclusion and respect.”

Has anyone used a Spinn machine?  That seems really convenient.  Too pricey for me, but convenient.

It’s not just convenience.  The charging port failed on my last two phones.  If I couldn’t charge them wirelessly, I would have had to get a new phone years earlier than I actually did.  Given that experience, I won’t buy a phone without wireless charging.

Why do runners insist on using “minutes per mile” instead of the “miles per hour” everyone else in the (non-metric) world uses?  The treadmills at my gym give the speed readings in miles per hour.  I know how quickly I like to run in miles per hour.  I have no idea what that is in “minutes per mile.”

I’m not sure that “complaining about the food” is always so terrible. I once attended a family wedding that was purely vegetarian, which was quite a surprise to my very carnivorous family. And it wasn’t even really vegetables; it was mostly bread. The wedding was in a very rural area with no restaurants anywhere…

I’d love to know what prompted this article.  Before the pandemic I was part of a group that went to a new restaurant monthly, so I knew a ton of foodies.  Most of us wouldn’t have dreamed of going to a restaurant nicer than Chipotle without making a reservation. 

“A law degree can only help you!”

I’m disappointed to see that no one has made the obvious “get a partner!” joke.

Find out which seats don’t recline (such as exit rows) and sit in the row behind them. 

I also have a hodgepodge of different views that aren’t collectively represented by any major political party. But I do believe in representative government, so I would walk through fire, if necessary, to vote against the party of sedition in every single election.

Terminator 2!  If you find a Millennial or Gen Z’er who has zero knowledge of the movie, show them the first Terminator, and then show them Terminator 2, something happens about 20 minutes in that completely blows their minds.  It’s a lot of fun to watch.

On the “the man pays the bill” point, very recently The Washington Post ran a “Dating Lab”—a bizarre but regular feature in which truly awful matchmakers on the WP staff set up two readers on a blind date and then document the carnage that typically follows—in which the two daters were polite but it was very clear…
