True. Even though I feel silly wearing straight up workout clothes to do anything but workout I can get the appeal of comfy leggings, tees, and tanks. They’re stretchy, breathable, are designed to be sweated in and washed, and look a whole lot more pulled together than either wearing pajamas or sweatpants or old…

I usually only wear workout clothes to workout because I feel silly walking around in obviously workout capris - stretchy, shiny, or with weird panels/striping - and a shiny workout top. I will sometimes run errands prior to working out while wearing my gear because it’s not convenient to try to change before going to…

She turned out to be really be a black woman. Apparently before she went all revolutionary on them, she was just an entertainer that happened to be black.

That’s pretty standard unfortunately. Coupons tend to be for straight commercial patients - private pay individual plans or employer plans. Anyone with Medical Assistance or VA benefits is ineligible but, usually, those co-pays aren’t sky high. The fun starts when you have Medicare Part D coverage or a commercial plan…

Very much this. Athlete privilege has been a male thing for so long, it’s interesting to see that women’s sports isn’t really all that different in regards to letting players that produce get away with all kinds of shit as long as they are producing the right results.

I’m on board with your boyfriend’s thinking. The fact that someone finds certain books, movies, etc...offensive should not be reason enough to remove those materials from an academic setting. The point of learning is to be exposed to a wider range of ideas and view points including those that are different, upsetting,…

It always cracks me up when vocally anti-PC types complain about safe spaces and special snowflakes while managing to sound just as whiny as those special snowflakes. Nothing is worse than someone who proudly claims to be anti-PC getting huffy when someone confronts them about making a clearly offensive comments.…

It’s also a BDSM term as part of the Master/slave dynamic and slave bracelets can be part of the whole fetish thing. .

This is a slave bracelet. Basically a bracelet with a chain connecting to rings. It is considered an offensive term by some people because bracelets were used as part of the African slave trade

The last time I sat in on an interview, the candidate had called earlier to ask whether or not shorts would appropriate because he was coming from his other job. He showed up in khakis but then proceeded to check his cellphone and plug his dj business during the questions about his previous employment. Unfortunately…

And stomping on kittens and snatching candy from kids out fund raising. What a piece of worthless shit.

Please do not wear large, overly flashy or distracting jewelry or other accessories to job interviews, especially if you will be working in a fairly conservative environment. It can be perceived as unprofessional. How hard is it to just say something like that? It’s a gender neutral statement that does not rely on…

I know! There’s a lot of large, shiny jewelry out there has has nothing to do with marriage in any way shape or form. Remember the giant cocktail rings from a couple of years ago? And multiple finger rings? On slave bracelets? And singling out ‘engagement rings’ and going on about jealousy, high maintenance, and…

What about a woman with a sleeve tattoo, nose ring, and a giant ass engagement ring? And nice assumptions about a person’s self-esteem and circumstances based on a piece of jewelry - which can be removed, by the way - rather than actual facts. Why not just say large, distracting pieces of jewelry are non-professional?…

There’s no hypocrisy in criticizing someone who seemed that his perception of the interviewee being high maintenance and his concern trolling that other women in the office wouldn’t like her trumped the interviewee’s actual competence. His bullshit Rollex watch add on is an attempt to clear up his first statement but…

And if you are working a job that requires travel? Or live in the suburbs where public transportation is not always a feasible option? At my 1st job out of grad school I had to do home visits. Taking the bus was not an option when I had to do 7 - 10 visits a day even though I live in a city that had an okay-ish public…

I’ve periodically tried to use coupons but I’ve given that up because, honestly, it’s not worth the time and not worth paying for a paper in order to get manufacturers coupons. The only time I use coupons now is if I get an online coupon to a clothing store or something along those lines. I do shop sales at the…

States administer both SNAP and WIC but the federal government sets the standards for what’s covered and funds the programs

First thing I thought of when I saw the post. That delicious, oily cheese. And the jars of peanut butter and cans of pork with the pig on the label. My mom used to make the most delicious bbq with that canned pig. I really think that that program really needs to be revived. I know the usual people are going to bitch…

I took the framing as a way to show how difficult it was for the author to find products she could use in a field of products that she felt weren’t really designed for her skintone. It’s not necessarily a black thing since lots of women have experienced this but it is a reminder that many companies traditionally…
