But you’re not trying to be the arbiter of art. You didn’t look at what St. Vincent and Brownstein did and pass judgement. You’re trying to be the arbiter of opportunity. The gatekeeper. And come on, you prefaced the whole thing with “Probably a dick of me” and you can’t take people agreeing with that? Let it go.

Because that’s all that matters, right? Having things be red, white, and blue?

I thought it was really nice to see a real veteran get a sweet break. He also seems to like a good person. 

In high school I did a summer program in a laboratory at a local hospital. The other high school student in the lab was an African American woman who was far smarter and motivated than I will ever be. I had a 10 minute walk to the lab from my house and she had to take the train for over an hour to get there. I thought…

I love this movie so much. Frank Langella steals every scene he’s in.

How sad is your life to take the time to write all this shit. I couldn’t bother myself to read it entirely.

Counterpoint: If you expect someone who paid for a seat that reclines to not recline it because it inconveniences you, the monster is you.

“Non-sleeping hours” are not a thing, you have no idea what kind of schedule the other people on the plane are on. If someone worked the night shift (9pm-4am) then hopped on a 6am flight... guess what, they’ll probably want to sleep. Just the act of traveling all day and being forced to sit in a chair for hours can…

Fixed! 

Man, I wish Bomani and Pablo had actually discussed it more in depth.  But Bomani said a week or two ago on a different political topic “I like having a job so I can’t talk about this.”  The pressure is real.

I actually mean it, too. I worked in the public for years in customer/client facing roles, handling some truly difficult situations and angry people on a regular basis for many years. Because of this, I’ve had clients and customers open up and trust me with things that were completely unexpected— I recall one banking c…

Your take is ridiculous. My point is they ARE treating you like a human. They don’t really know you’ve heard their corny joke before-especially older folks. If you want to gripe at somebody because of that, they aren’t the asshole, you are.

That was probably the most impassioned plea for compassion in the most aggressive way possible that I have seen. I haven’t seen very much of the internet I guess.

These have nothing on my Starbucks joke.

Fucking lawyers, can’t even break their rants into paragraphs.

Server: “So, can I get you anything else?”
Dad: “No, thank you. Absolutely nothing else.”
Server: “OK then, here’s the check. I can take it whenever you’re ready.”
Dad: “Oh, no. I said we don’t need anything else, including the check.”
Server: “No, you said ‘no thank you’ to ‘can I get you anything else,’ a courtesy…

I’m intrigued by politics of a progressive death economy.

I think society would be better with at least 50% fewer jokes. Business meetings/calls would be better with at least 95% fewer jokes.

I work in a pro shop at a tennis resort. Like every cashier everywhere, I get the “Oh, that means it’s free, right?” joke whenever something won’t scan. To which I sometimes reply, “No, it just means I have to guess the price. I think this T-Shirt was $50.”

Besides that, we used to have a couple over-sized display…

This read like a article in an anthropological journal about some uncontacted tribe in the Amazon.
