I agree that this was horrific, but duty to rescue laws don’t require you to fight an armed attacker, and in a situation where you can’t safely intervene, there can be significant value in documenting the situation. Since the victim and the murderer apparently knew each other and there were so many witnesses he…

That was probably three more letters in response than the post deserved.

A thing to consider Kara; I’m not a frequent or regular commenter on here but I do READ the comments (I just don’t tend to have time at work to comment on things). Having never read one of your articles before I was initially like, “jeez this is a hilarious review and smart writing” but also thought the high chair…

I can understand your snark but birth control comes in many different hormonal doses. Would you know which one to pick? I would’ t. Anymore than I would know what antibiotic to buy if I needed one for a skin infection or bronchitis. I had a mild stroke due to being on the pill and luckily my doctors picked up on the…

When you run your business on the assumption that your employees will not get ill and that you can use the bare minimum staff all the time, it is mismanaging. Yet somehow too many incompetent assholes in mismanagement schools are okay with that.

Honestly, it’s mostly a period piece about a modern day guy who comes to love living in the 60’s. 11/22/63 is one of King’s better books, and was handled really well.

There’s not a preference for robots over humans. People react most quickly to humans, but there’s some response to robots too. I don’t know that it means anything except that our brains are hardwired to react to anything that looks like a hand being in danger of damage. The reason we think baby animals are so cute is…

If you’re experiencing things like sleep disturbances (sleeping too much, or unable to sleep), lack of energy, feel like you’re in slow motion, and if this has lasted more than a couple of weeks, you should see a health professional; doctor or therapist. You could be slipping past a point of slight depression, into…

I’m curious if you also worry about long haul truckers and female bartenders’ safety, as those are two of the most dangerous jobs for women. And do you feel angry for models, dancers, and athletes who also use their bodies as objects? One knee injury and a dancer is no longer of value to anyone. Her body and skill are…

She is not doing her job. She does not have a “right” to have her hateful views tolerated. There are plenty of people in need of a job. She needs to be fired now.

I like how your two comments on this article are attacking women for their looks. That’s awesome of you.

Starting from the time lag confusion and the cat, going all the way through all the literary references and Cambridge eccentrics, to the Bishop’s Bird Stump, To Say Nothing of the Dog has me in giggles every time I reread it.

Yeah I couldn’t stand that one for entirely different reasons...

As a matter of fact, that’s pretty much exactly what I like about Mieville. I can totally see why it comes off as needlessly complicated and ridiculous pretension, and maybe it’s just a skill to ignore that garbage. I really like the circular or circuitous and complicated world-building style, though. My favorite bits…

QRT....

I get the “waitstaff are so put upon, it’s the worst job in the universe, life is so hard” attitude most of the time, but is it really necessary here? There are about a billion articles on Kitchenette about bad customers, can’t you put aside your obvious bias towards waitstaff for one article to think “this was a bad…

I love anything with an unnecessary hood. It is a weakness.

My Dad re-upped the subscription to CR and National Geographic for my mom until 2022 before he died in 2012. This and the childlock code on FoxNews are my favorite of his weird Dadly behaviors.
