Intern should absolutely be upfront about finances. Let people know you’re showing up for one drink & some water, then have to bail so they aren’t eating ramen for all meals that week. Odds are, most of the co-workers have been in the intern’s shoes and will commiserate.

History is full of examples of religious zealots causing misery among the masses when they assume power

There’s a part of me that hopes Jr. realizes his dad will never love him. This part also thinks Jr.’s smarter than we think. Jr.’s going to throw Donny under the bus in such a way that makes impeachment an easy walk and let’s Jr. keep the company.

Most presidents spend the first 2 years of their term enjoying the fruits of the previous guy.  We’re nearing the end of the Obama effect.  The wobbles we’re feeling in the economy are the start of Trumpenomics.  I’d imagine in about a year, we’ll start to see some serious problems as the full impact of the tariffs…

The difference between mortgage/ auto loans and student loan debt is you can get out of home/auto with bankruptcy/ short sale. With the changes in regulations, not even death absolves you of student loan debt.

I think Thor’s development grew also with his reaction to Steve wielding Mjolner. AoU Thor would have seen Steve picking up the hammer as a threat and it would have destabilized his world view. After Rangorok, and realizing his worth wasn’t tied to Mjolner but himself, he was happy to see his friend was able to wield…

In that picture, Trump looks like he just discovered he has web shooters.

Try Dearborn, MI.  Largest concentration of Middle Eastern immigrants outside of the actual Middle East.  I grew up near there and have never found it’s equal.

The best part of this show is Gordon Ramsey. I love how when he’s dealing with adults that really should know better, he’s absolutely brutal in his criticisms and on point with insults. With kids, he’s super supportive and nice. He takes all the effort he expends in tearing the adults down and uses it to build kids…

Nothing is more cathartic on a road trip than turning the page on the TripTik.  Around a big city, you could flip 3-4 pages in less than an hour and you really felt like you were getting somewhere.  Never mind the next page covered a 200 mile long stretch of crop land with nowhere to stop but the Hills Have Eyes…

You’re half right. She’ll hire the nanny, then either:

If it starts to look like he’ll lose, he’s going to bail on the race to “concentrate on his business” or something else.  Most likely, this will happen after the convention, leaving the party in the lurch.  This way, he can still claim he didn’t lose.

My kids complain about the short rotation of breakfasts on school days. I made the shaksuka last night and everyone kept wandering into the kitchen asking “what smells so good?” I stopped short of adding the eggs and put the whole pot into the fridge. In the morning, I heated it up and let the eggs poach.

I worked in the auto industry in SE Michigan a number of years ago. I remember when Ford tried to implement the Blue Oval dealers to differentiate the high performers. The sucky dealers howled it wasn’t fair they were being held to standards and expected to perform. Ford watered down the requirements and just about…

No dumbshit. It has nothing to do with fucking Joe Biden or any other prominent Democrat and little to do with union busting laws passed in states.

My sister-in-law drowns everything in ranch dressing. EVERYTHING! Baked potato - ranch.

The problem is, now other bad actors know the US will not honor it’s commitments. As much as everyone bitched about the payments made to Iran in exchange for the nuclear deal, we made a promise and honored it. That’s what honorable parties in a contract do. By failing to live up to our part of the bargain, it’s…

I haven’t dug into the story, but how they handled it is the rub. If they brought their own food, quietly asked for an empty plate, put the vegan meal on it and ate & chatted away, I would think it’s no big deal. If the vegan in question made a show of their special meal in tupperware (BPA shame on them!), threw a fit…
