Sheetz is primarily based in Ohio, PA, and northern appalachia. Guess which areas also have high concentrations of poverty and shortages of dentists. Some folks have to wait for travelling clinics to come into their area to receive dental care. Glad they walked it back, but this was a majorly discriminatory policy in…

The last “Ugly Laws” in America were only repealed in the 1970s….

Hey this is America, if you want to keep your teeth, you have to have a separate, even shittier insurance that covers no actual dental work, and then pay out of pocket for anything other than a checkup.

The strangest thing on this one was the lack of any benefit to Sheetz, normally we see corporations being terrible in order to make or save some money. Here, they were firing a good employee and gaining nothing.

I was thinking something more like the new manager felt the need to follow the “rule” to the letter for fear of being fired (and then being without their own dental/health care). Same root cause though: it was Capitalism all along.

Bad PR: the only thing that will make corporations even gesture in the direction of doing the right thing

This has to be hot bullshit. Not the pregnancy part, obviously. There isn’t a single contraception method that is 100% effective. The baby holding the IUD while being birthed? Bullshit. How did it get it? Basic biology and human anatomy says this is a physical impossibility. Even if the IUD got inside the amniotic…

The funny part is that Republicans are the first people to fat shame but also the first people to flip the fuck out any time someone (usually a liberal) suggests making school menu alterations to be more healthy. If they tried to regulate food at a national level to mandate healthier options they’d be screaming at the…

100% agree that the health issues associated with obesity are a social problem. You’ve left out poverty, though. The “real bread” you mention is a lot more expensive than the less nutritious bread with added sugar.

Any woman who’s also a minority who thinks she’s going to get the GOP nomination, regardless of how much she prostrates herself for the GOP, is delusional. Nikki, they just want you to be the “good” minority woman, they don’t want to vote for you for president.

Two things can be true: obese people should be treated with dignity, respect, love, and validation; and we need to confront the food problems that are causing unhealthy obesity and killing people. The former is a social issue; the latter needs to be led by the agencies who are supposedly built to help combat public…

It was exhausting just spending a couple minutes reading the article about that family, I cannot imagine interacting with any of them.

Sounds like they showed remarkable restraint in limiting themselves to just the one tequila after dealing with this family.

How are you going to run truck stop-gas stations and have reservations about how the employees bodies look? 

He paid? That's not an accident you cry over. If you know anyone that watches his videos, disown that person. He's a creep. 

“but defended Counts’ manager, stating that she ’was handling this type of situation for the first time.’”

Reason 14,045,999 why America is so totally fucked.

The thing I keep wondering is why is his wife just crying besides him through the video. If I were her I would not want my husband who already violated our friend’s and I’s trust to put my heartbreak on display for content.

I don’t hate it. I’ve seen, heard, and babysat worse.

I don’t even have kids, but I follow a guy called TidyDad on instagram. His posts are soothing as heck. There are definitely many neat men out there, but I am not sure why we don’t hear from them more often.
