I think my favorite one was one I actually ended up doing two days after Christmas one year. I called it a “second chance” gift exchange, and encouraged everyone to bring their most terrible gifts they received that year. IIRC, I ended up with a Snuggie.

Nepotism is definitely racial in that white people have so many more people at the top and a larger network period. But it’s funny for blackish to address this. The lead on Blackish (who I happen to love) is Diana Ross’s daughter. She’s insanely talented, but has benefited from nepotism.

White people: “doesn’t look like anything to me”

That is a huge problem indeed. On top of investing in a computer (which would be at least 100-150$ for an old used one that doesn’t fall apart), an internet connection is a pretty big investment as well. Many people will find television to be more important for daily information and entertainment.

Well, I’d like to go talk to Josh, but Josh is in Cleveland and I’m in Miami.

My wife once told me that the way I talked about my mother and sisters was a big plus for me. I didn’t really notice I was doing it, but she said I always spoke about them like I admired and respected them, which I do. Any man who denigrates the women in their life should be put under serious scrutiny before a woman…

we’re being shown multiple time periods out of order. It is my job as a viewer to piece them together. It’s very sastifying.

Friend - has it really gotten weirder, or are we just older and more sober now?

I’m totally on board with Bernard being Arnold. There have been several clues in the show, IMO, and as others have pointed out ‘Bernard Lowe’ is an anagram of ‘Arnold Weber’.

Did he turn millions into billions? How do you know? Because he says so? He personally estimates the value of his BRAND in the billions. Not sure that is the same thing as having assets worth billions.

Plus, what’s exciting to one person can be blah to another and vice versa. As you pointed out, excitement doesn’t mean shit if you don’t also get people registered and showing up to vote.

Seriously, you can’t tell me that when he first climbed on that computer he wasn’t prompted with “Windows has downloaded 143 updates...click Yes to install.”

As a corporation Westworld seems like a real disaster!

I’m kinda more worried that this woman has a heart rate of 111, a respiration rate of 40 breaths/minute and an oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 92%.

I like to substitute vanilla or fruit yogurt when I get late-night ice cream cravings. The texture and taste are just similar enough to quell my craving, but obviously it saves about three billion calories.

Sure, and if you asked a kid from Astoria, they’d say Astoria and not Queens. You’re nitpicking this and losing. Harlem is logistically, geographically part of Manhattan. In fact it’s the part that starts north of 125th st and extends north, and even Harlem isn’t exactly an inexpensive bastion of the impoverished…

Maybe they’re assuming 20% down which takes your 300,000 price down to a 240,000 mortgage. At 3.75% (which should be doable with a 750+ FICO and 20% down) the monthly P&I is about 1100.

Less immediately striking but in some ways more interesting is the lawsuit’s allegation that the performance review system was, in effect, a way to conduct layoffs without the notice required by California law—which wasn’t related to the gender claims. “Marissa Mayer became CEO on a wave of optimism and then engaged…

What if the men in management positions were really shitty at working with a female boss?

So where was this guy’s lawsuit when the top managers were 80% male?
