He asked an interesting question at one of the debates, and then internet sleuths found that he has, in fact, looked at porn at some point in his life, which makes him a Nazi somehow.

Because it’s minimum wage, as in what you get, not minimum pay.

Do you have friends?

A) That’s systemic racism

The word “organic” significantly predates the chemistry definition. Dy you also argue that friendships aren’t a real bond because they’re not covalent?

I don’t think Trump is deliberative enough to be an effective pawn. Also, I’m not sure he expected Trump to win, or for him to still be so pro-Russia (pretty much every president since Eisenhower has come into office hoping to reset relations only to give up after a week of having to deal with Russia)

My observation is that the takeout is usually handled by the host/seating staff.

No.

and may not even make minimum wage

Also, the fast food workers don’t expect tips, and so may hold out for a higher nominal wage (although likely a lower take-home, as the autonomy and thus expectations tend to be higher for waitstaff).

I’m guessing it’s because the closest antecedents are the shop clerk (butcher, baker, greengrocer, pickle guy, oystermonger), who would stand behind the counter (or container of the product) and hand you what you asked for (A&P introduced the practice of letting the customer pick up his own groceries, which became…

Yeah, we rewrote our prosthetics policy to say “we’re not buying you a goddamn ‘shower leg,’ just get a chair at Ikea” after that one.

That’s actually my current job. We had a guy who wanted an extra electric leg to wear in the shower so he wouldn’t short his “main” one out. We told him that, even if that job couldn’t be done by a normal chair, we still know that his “shower” leg would short out and he’d be right back on the phone demanding a third…

Most countries use a Bismark system, in which health coverage is also managed by a private entity. The only substantive difference from the ACA system is that the bill for your insurance is packed in with your taxes and forwarded by the government instead of payed by the member to the insurer directly. These…

Maybe Europe should consider updating their standards to match ours, then.

That’s certainly a generous hypothetical. “You’d still be mad even if I hadn’t shot up that daycare.”

She intervened to keep him on staff.

One of us is misremembering the story, as the one I remember had her intervening on his behalf over the objections of her HR department. The standard people are holding her to is doing nothing. Not a high bar.

All she had to do was nothing. Instead, she intervened on the harasser’s behalf.
