If you don’t think a belief in a deity is distinct from not believing in a deity, you’re really not someone who should be talking about atheism and certainly not someone who should be criticizing others religious choices/beliefs.

Fabric softener apparently reduces the effectiveness of wicking in synthetics. Synthetics dry really quickly, so all my workout gear goes on a drying rack rather than the dryer, so no fabric softener for them. I give my workout clothes two wears at the gym before I put them in the laundry, but I also shower and change

I do wonder about those house rules too. I mean, even in warm months when many wealthy residents might be off to their summer homes a lot, I don’t think it’s that uncommon for someone in the family to still be in the city working.

No, you really don’t understand atheism. One can reject a religious text - or all religious texts - and still believe in God. That is what is called a theist. It doesn’t really matter if the person who believes in a deity is a die-hard biblical literalist or someone who rejects all religious texts. They are both

Being an atheist means you don’t believe in a deity, not that you reject certain religious texts.

For four years?

Lay offs are a real bitch. Pretty much everyone left at my last job I was laid off from told me the person who made unilateral decisions about who to layoff without consulting a single other person didn’t even understand what my primary responsibilities were, despite them being included in my damn title. This asshole

Luck plays a much, much bigger role in individual success than hard work. It might make people who are successful feel good to attribute it to hard work or genius, but that’s kind of delusional. For every Steve Jobs, there’s probably thousands of people with his skills, drive, and insight, who simply lacked his luck

I knew someone in publishing who said she found the work environment more stressful than when she worked at a shelter for people escaping domestic abuse.

I realized kind of early on that it was never a two way street. My bosses never ever said, “hey, you just put in two 60 work weeks to get that project done, so since next week is slow, how about you just give us 25 hours to make up for those two hellish weeks.”

Juice is making the point that people tend to really, really downplay the role luck has in their success. You could have just as easily worked 10 hours a day, 6 days a week for 2 years, and been laid off. I busted my ass for a job that laid me off because my division head lied about my responsibilities to cover for

It seems like people think there’s only two options. 1. Stay completely silent, or 2. Tell your friend their relationship is complete garbage and they need to end it now. The idea that you can raise concerns gently, knowing that your friend might not be open to hearing how their love isn’t fooling friends and family,

In celebration of Dead Soldier Day Weekend....people who think memorial day is a celebration after thousands of military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan are horrible.

I’m sorry about your dad.

I met my now spouse on OKC. I was on the site off and on for at least four years. Keeping expectations low helps.

What does a video of a protest where a woman seems to be claiming someone touched her chest have to do with refusing to tow someone’s care? (Answer: nothing).

From a theoretical standpoint, if a Sanders support did this to a Trump supporter, that person would also be a colossal asshole. So...what’s your point?

I took my SO there a couple years ago, I described it as “the most wonderful place in the world. You can bring grandma and the family dog if you want!”

Knoebel’s? I haven’t been in a few years, but I think there are still phone booths there.

I agree about that. The thing is, if everyone is adding a negative tone, we can’t be shocked when we send something super direct and people add negative tone.
