PEOPLE. STOP SPECULATING ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR. SOME OF US NEED TIME. THANKS

I legit need someone to come in here and explain how to get out of this situation, because I'm in it too. Sometimes it takes every fiber in my being not to snap, "Then fucking get good at it and do it over."

Well, he's only using her name to sell shit and it's not like she needs to defend her trademark in order to keep it, per US law.

My ex putting away the dishes in the wrong place really baffled me at the time. He was using energy into taking something out of the dishwasher and putting it in a cabinet anyway, so what was the point of finding a new and wrong place to put it? On more than one occasion I asked if he thought something (often the 2

Oh, it's TOTALLY intentional— "learned helplessness" and "cultivated stupidity" and "selective blindness/deafness" are all tricks men are taught to get out of doing Women's Work. Putting away dishes? Answering a telephone? Wiping a countertop? Placing an order with Office Depot? Allllll rocket science tasks, natch....

As someone who was in a 20+ year marriage and is now getting a divorce, my experience is men deliberately do "women's" (cough) work badly to get out of doing it or ever being asked (and don't forget the chance to be self-righteously angry if anyone dares complain about how they did it). Most of these tasks are not

My super awesome mom, after years of working as a successful independent consultant, recently accepted a job as an executive/c-suite level employee at a financial firm. She is the only woman executive. During her first week, another executive told her part of her duties would be to cover the phones when the

I've had 6 jobs since starting law school in 2006, and at every single workplace, this has been true, though I hadn't really ever thought about it until reading this.

My stepdaughter is autistic - nonverbal, with OCD and anxiety disorder on top of that. She's smart as hell, but doesn't present that way. She's 22 - and her dad is a fucking saint. He's dedicated his whole existence to her well-being (and she has no idea - she has no context in which to appreciate this). His life is

I have a suggestion. Along with banning children who are unvaccinated for anything other than a medical reason from public schools and child care facilities (private facilities can make their own determination about allowing unvaccinated children, which will likely influence the success of their business), insurance

you make a valid point, and we should be careful not to minimize the stress autism places on a family. However, I think many anti-vaxers have truly demonized autism and I have a huge problem with that. Jenny Macarthy says she saw her son's soul leave his body - what a horrible thing to say about your child. Even in

Fine the anti-vaxxers into the ground for non-compliance. Make it sliding scale, so it hurts everyone's wallets, not just the less well off ones. When they refuse to pay, and they will, jail them and vaccinate the kids during that time... Preferably right in front of the stupid anti-vaxxer.

What you're calling "a government cellphone" most likely refers to phones subsidized by phone companies. The Lifeline program began with the Telecom Act of 1934 as a subsidy to local service, paid for by the high costs of long distance service. After the breakup of AT&T in 1984 (under Ronald Reagan), the costs were

Hey guess what, I'm a vet, and I served with ALL KINDS of douchebags. You must be one of those right-wingers that think we want and/or need people like you kissing our asses all the time and serenading us with Toby Keith while throwing "Support Our Troops" magnets at us. We don't. We are not that stupid and don't

Hahaha so much of the nonsense you're spouting is hilarious, but for some reason your assertion that someone cannot be both a Vet and a douchebag is my favorite. AMURICA, right?

Just to let you know, I earmarked my tax money to pay for this particular guy's pizza, so lay the fuck off. It's paid for, we got it covered.

The upside is that, if anyone has ever deserved a shitty tip, it's you!

Those ungrateful Poors. Obviously wasting money they clearly don't deserve.
