“Robotic” and “insincere” are both perfectly fine criticisms. So, in fact, are Sullivan’s “pedestrian” and “uninspiring”. People are free to disagree with you, but those are terms that are routinely applied to male speakers as well as female.

I have been looking for a reason to use this today.

Really enjoyed watching her dramatically walk in and out of a beaded curtain.

My memories are somewhat more recent...like when I was in my 50s, 6'1", and taking a snooze half-under a low coffee table (just tired, not drugs/alcohol etc).

Situation one: Tow-truck driver freely admits to leaving disabled driver (who has Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and early stage Crohn’s disease) in non-functioning car on the side of the road solely because she has a Bernie Sanders sticker.

I don't understand the mentality that people are either flawed or deserving of sympathy, but not both. Racism is not ok, but she still just lost her son to a violent death, so I see no contradiction between thinking that she acted shittily towards the reporter but also is going through something no one should have to…

The camera is rolling from 0:24 onward. The cameraman pans to the woman from around 0:50. I’m not sure how I’m rewriting things. The cameraman didn’t shut off the camera, he kept rolling. In my experience, merely rolling can cause people to get antsy. Even non-assholes. I’m not saying she’s not an asshole. I’m saying…

Why do you feel you owe them an explanation of why you don’t drink? My go-to response to any number of such questions is “why do you ask?” or some similar question. I believe Miss Manners suggests it for nosy people who ask about why one doesn’t have children, but it is useful for all “none of your business”…

This is a great opportunity to learn about being a good friend and family to someone working on sobriety. Don’t be a dick and tempt them with bars, getting drunk, and then fault them for drinking. I see this too often with my own family, “If s/he really wants to be sober, s/he won’t drink.” You literally just ordered…

i like to run a large load of just workout wear every so often. i’ll run it through with just vinegar, and they come out stink-free! same thing with my towels.

Because you don’t realize that 80% of your success was luck and you are defending employers treating employees like shit to see who “wants” it more.

That excuse only works if the chef is has equity in the business. Otherwise you’re working slave labor wages to fund someone else’s startup.

Wait: I thought he couldn’t charge him with rape because of the definition of rape in California, which must include P-in-V. I believe he could only charge him with three counts of sexual assault. I’m not sure if I have this right. I’m quite sure I read it over the past few days, however.

Deep discounts on middling couture manufactured by foreign teenagers is exactly how we should be honoring our fallen heroes today. Free trade is what we should fight and die for.

Cool. Noted. For future reference, never come for me again, you will be automatically dismissed.

Yes, Knoebel’s! It’s still a fantastic park!

That’s terrible advice. My female manager and I are both trying to actively stop saying such things and qualifying ourselves. Such gendered nonsense.

You know how people say dress for the job you want? I say drink for the weather you want!

Somewhat yes, but I still have trouble. I’ve gained ten pounds twice and they won’t budge no matter what.
