I am fortunate that we have a lax dress code at work (or else everyone is just ignoring the fact that jeans are my go-to). I cannot imagine trying to get through the week if I worked some place that required a nicer wardrobe!

Man, what I really need is a source for nice women’s tee shirts. Everything I find is either a dreaded tissue-tee that falls apart if you look at it too hard, or a literal box of fabric that can stand up on its own. I would not mind having a capsule wardrobe, but I just cannot find the quality I need to have only a…

An acquaintance of mine blames the fact that they are always late on their kid. Did not matter if the kid was 2 days old, or 2 years old. Kinda calling BS on that one, because they were always late BEFORE they had kids. Poor little guy is getting blamed for the fact that his parents do not care enough about other…

Now everyone has multiple points of access to the internet, and it is so easy to diagnose the problem remotely! Great for the user, bad for the business! ;)

Do you mean other than computer repairs for a company? My company has a contracted group that provides repairs (small mom & pop type shop). Most companies have either a tech team like that or an internal repair group.

I just think there are bigger issues at stake than whether someone says I am a person with “x” disability, or says I have “x” disability, or just shorthands to “I am disabled”.

No, I don’t agree it should be used in the media. I am disabled. If I choose to see that as minimizing my humanity, that is my own choice, and my own responsibility. We do not need to hedge around words.

That’s great that some disabled people are up in arms. I am disabled. My father is disabled. We both think the movie/book is great. Why? Because we are so darn sick of everyone pretending that love and money is enough to smooth over any quality of life issue. I do not want to die, but, if I my disease were to be…

I have a fairly major disability, as does my father. I think the movie/book is brilliant. While I do not wish to die, and feel that my life still has value, I absolutely applaud the movie/book for not falling into the trap of “love cures all”, and being realistic that, even in the best circumstances, some people may…

Women are not necessarily “worse” at negotiating, but men are frequently offered better deals than women, particularly when it comes to car buying. Edmonds, CarMax, and a load of independent groups have supported this with blind studies.

Fair enough! The sad truth is, however, that you are likely to be quoted a lower price straight out of the gate based on being male.

Women are put at an automatic power imbalance, which is only amplified in a highly male-dominated field.

I would wager that is much less likely to occur than the chances of any male stepping onto a lot getting the better deal.

Anecdotally, if you are a female, get a male to negotiate for you.

I was approached to remove a Yelp review (unfortunately it was for services rendered in my house, so they knew where I lived). I firmly and politely explained that my review was an honest and unemotional recounting of the events as they unfolded and that I would not remove it. I then updated my review to warn others…

I disagree with this assessment. There is a difference between taking to the internet to intentionally harm the business’s reputation and taking to the internet to provide an honest accounting of a transaction.

As with most rules, enforcement depends on the person in charge. Good point!

My dumb ass was wondering why you were saying “press up up, (upside down up)(upside down up), up up up...
