Plus in my neighborhood there are places selling phones all over the place. Would be easy for a kid to buy a burner.

All of those things may be true, but the service at David’s Bridal SUCKS. Maybe not if you’re the bride, but anyone other than that person is just given the “fuck off” vibe. My spouse had to deal with them for a couple weddings prior to ours, and by the time she was looking for her own, she vowed to never step a foot…

It’s best to not have a tax refund at all - getting as close to even is going to save you money, as even with the stingiest savings account you’ll get more money than with the governement holding your excess money.

A far better thing is to have people sell their souls to you. Back in college, in response to Campus Crusade for Christ, I created Campus Crusade for “Bob” - the protestant chaplain LOVED it, BTW. I would go to the student union and people would join by signing away their souls over to me; when people asked me what I…

Your picture of the mandoline may be pretty, but it’s missing that hand guard.

Nyaa - they’ll find someone else to blame. It’s what they do.

*snicker* Going to make Philadelphia look bad. *guffaw*snort*

When I was at high school working at a Perkins (hated it - liked working at McDonald’s more, and that’s saying something) in Tennessee, they could pay under minimum wage because of tipping. How many places are putting tipping in there in the, at least hopes, of paying employees less?

It’s not bad, but their cheese curds are not good. I can find better curds elsewhere. But maybe not in Arkansas.

Don’t feel sorry for Melania - by all accounts she’s not a very nice person.

One of those resources is money, IVF is so stupid expensive it’s out of reach for many people.

Better rates for consumers absolutely. Better service? Than giant banks absolutely, versus the now hard to find community bank that has as much roots or more in the community that a credit union? Maybe. Better employers? Not guaranteed. Full disclosure: I had a job in a community bank for nine years, loved the living…

Dry scooping? Ugh - it sounds like the gym-rat version of people who chewed coffee beans.

In high school I lived in suburban Nashville, and as an outsider that was just a white yankee that place felt so oppressive. I can’t imagine the stress of being trans in that environment. If it wasn’t for the BBS community in the 80s I’m pretty sure I would have snapped.

Strangely enough, the NRA and all the gun humpers stay quiet when a black person dies while legally carrying a gun (see for one example: Philando Castile). It can’t be... racism... could it???

Anyone want to give a synopsis for those of us who can’t/won’t go through a video.

Which we know is bunk, because any superior life form would look at the humans and declare, “They have to go.”

“Better” does not mean “good”.

All of which basically proves, yet again, that the cruelty is the point.

Arthur Dent just wanted tea because it made him happy. I’m with Arthur.
