My gran always carried her own bags. She never drove but took the bus and then walked two blocks from the bus stop so she needed something with handles when paper was the thing and sturdier handles when plastic came into fashion. The woven strap bags were easy to find at the corner store. Gran moved on to a rigged up…

One thing Taylor Swift isn’t doing? Working for a paycheck on a talent show.

“Do I have to bring my own plate and cup to the restaurant?”

Exactly. The idea that plastic bag bans somehow disproportionately trouble low-income people is absurd. The people they trouble are oblivious middle-class idiots who care about nothing more than having their shopping experiences be as “frictionless” as possible. You just show up with a wallet and everything else is…

I remember my mom keeping a supply of tote bags for shopping. We didn’t drive so we were either carrying bags on the bus or catching a hack and plastic bags often tore. So she had different sizes of totes. This was back in the 80s and 90s and we were poor/working class inner city folks. I find it interesting how the…

Agree, the plastic bag phenomenon is a recent development for bougie folk who couldn’t be bothered to bring their own bags and could afford to pay for the cost as part of their more expensive groceries and then, throw the bag out in the trash. People will figure out a way to collect the bags they need for shopping. We…

I grew up watching K-Dramas with my Grandma. They are a special kind of insane. The Chinese and Japanese dramas just do not compare.

This is worth it. Friendship is a beautiful thing, friendship is wonderful... but friendship has parameters and criteria and tests that need to be passed with at least an 80% regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, socioeconomics, etc. And there are levels, tiers to the shit - laughing at a similiar joke will get you a…

Oh, and OMG - don’t do that ish to people when they are working! Those customers are the worst.

I feel the same way! I have personally never been attracted to or seriously dated a “flirt,” because I find them shallow and not very trustworthy.

This is how my uncle explained cheating to me:

Seems like the perspective of the question is off. It’s obviously not cheating when you know what’s in your head. “Is the flirting I do cheating? I don’t think so.”

Wouldn’t being friendly be friendly enough? I mean people confuse being friendly as being flirty enough. Why play with mixing the two?

There is a difference between being friendly, being playful and flirting, and everyone’s perception of those varies — on the giving end, the receiving end, the observing end and the “wasn’t there but heard about it” end. It comes down to intent, which is rascally difficult to measure.

“For the most part it is harmless. I’m not going to lie—I have used flirting to my advantage to get my way in public with both men and women. It’s a thing that I do.

This is exactly my take. Thanks.

I definitely have a coworker or two... ahem. Yes.

Testify!

Also those are all conservative assholes that the author listed. We’re not talking about Herman Cain, we’re talking about someone on the “progressive” side which means she has higher expectations. They could at least list white liberal women in cults- Elisabeth Moss, Laura Prepon. But they’re still not also leaders of…
