Not only are layoffs common, but so are new positions. Disney will likely increase its own marketing department and subdivisions to accommodate the new properties. But since Disney is a stickler for who they hire (which isn’t bad IMHO) they would rather control the hiring process for those folks than absorb existing em…

Her own Somali Muslim constituents think she was being antisemitic whether knowingly or unknowingly (a la casual racism), and the fact that she refuses to even clarify herself for the people that voted for her- the people she claims to represent- doesn’t paint her in a good light.

Omar’s own Somali constituents in MN think she put her foot in her mouth repeatedly and refused to address it. Thankfully, the Somali and Jewish communities in the district are largely united with each other to create a better community, which doesn’t spell good news come reelection time.

Yep!

I keep thinking back to the South Park episode where Kyle asks Tolken what he loves about rhe Honey BooBoo scenario and how it’s exploitive. He also asks “but what if it were a little black girl?” Tolken answers “But she isn’t. She’s white”.

Or it could have been a clinic that routinely has folks that can’t pay and helps them if they can.

In certain cases, I do wonder why Disney recast certain roles that go to CGI figures, particularly when the original voice actors are still around and are considered integral to their character personality.

I think part of it is knowing that your parents have your back despite the risks.

I am a rummy to the core-Alander is AWESOME rum, and I wouldn’t knock it when someone else suggested fucking HAVANA CLUB.

For what little its worth, I agree with you. The incoming left in Congress ARE inserting foot in mouth repeatedly (especially over Twitter, of all fucking places), and the left are all busy stumbling over themselves to attribute the backlash to old people enrolling in the Jelly School. We can say that her point is corr…

Even parent your little ones, parents. A few months ago, parents with a one year old were next to me (I was the aisle seat), and the kid kept leaning over and grabbing my hair ...HARD. I tried to lean out as far as I could, but the mother just smiled and said “shes like that”. It wasn’t until the kid quite literally pu…

Honestly, Jez has historically had one eyebrow raised with Bernie and most of the commenters are not and were never huge Bernie bros.

Karen was totally insufferable, especially in the 90s series. Remember when she stole Claudia’s earrings and totally let the housekeeper go down for theft? Not cool, Karen.

Dude, I stopped having a babysitter by second grade and babysat young kids when I was 11. No one I knew that was past third grade had (or would admit to having) a sitter and this was the 90s.

Yeah, I started reading them in kindergarten and got the BSC Club auto shipment through the Troll Book Club flyers until I was about 11. Even Martin transitioned to teen lit after her original characters and fans “aged out”.

Old folks. They send back food for being “too hot” as if a batch cooked soup waiting to be ladled can be made cooler; they send back shit for being “too cold” or “not bland enough”; if they are on blood thinners they will ask you to turn on the heat on a humid, 80 degree day in a restaurant filled with other diners enj…

Oh man, I worked fine dining for years and the sheer volume of folks that sent back 1/4 of a 4 lb lobster (a $120 entree at the time) or a prime cut of meat was baffling. And it was 20 times worse on amateur nights (Valentines, NYE) and the “first Wednesday of the month” (when welfare checks were distributed).

I presume so, because CFA and Culvers are the only fast food joints that seem to be populated with people that actually enjoy being there.

This is one of the reasons why I will never forgive Kevin Clash. Elmo was just a bit background puppet until the puppet was lireally thrown in Clash’s lap. Once Elmo hit the scene, it was over for the far superior Grover.

Salty didn’t really address it but LW did: From my time in fine dining, I’ve seen the expo or the runners ABSOLUTELY take someone else’s dish and run it, even if it is the biggest no no of all: An incomplete table. There is also the possibility that your GIRLFRIEND’S plate was taken and ran instead of yours.
