Melissa was brilliant in Samantha Who - that’s where I really got the vibe that she was a comedic genius. Her genius was so subtle because her character was a bit timid, and she played it like a true Oscar nominee. I remember when Melissa Leo (yes, I mean Melissa Leo in The Fighter and not Melissa McCarthy in this…

If we can’t joke about things that may be sensitive issues to some people, we can’t joke about anything.
The sex scene on the stairs can be the world’s saddest ballet!
I have a disability which helps me hit “Loser” marks in many aspects of adulthood, including never having/raising the children I always assumed I’d have. Does that fall under “whatever reason”? Because I don’t feel slapped in the face by stupid jokes about being pregnant, and I’m slightly disturbed knowing that many…
I don’t get this AT ALL. In fact, the PSAs screamed “Sensitive snowflake!” to me. My feelings on kids and dogs (or other domestic animals) are the same: Until there are no more homeless kids or pets, stop making/buying them. I don’t have sympathy for people that have money to burn on creating a mini clone, plenty of…
Can we please be more offended by the couple that managed to adopt 6 kids, malnourish them, then drive off a cliff, while many wanting parents are unable to adopt; instead of a stupid joke?
But the sex scenes will still be awkward and terrible.
On the SHS tip: DC-area Walmarts are grim, man. Even the ones in affluent areas (Burke, Fair Lakes) were depressing as hell, dirty and always badly stocked.
Thank you. I had no idea.
Have you considered the Government Accountability Office? It’s non-partisan. I’ve been happy there. The people in our IT team and forensic investigation teams are great.
Oh totally. I just have a hard time imagining someone refuses to date you based just on the fact that you happen to be a fed working at an agency.
It really does depend on the agency you work for, though: I was called a fascist stormtrooper by a right-winger for doing my job just a few months into the current Administration. I get no love from anyone, but what can you do? Someone has to do my job, and I volunteered for it. I’d volunteer for it again, even…
I think that speaks more to the intelligence of their dates. Being a government employee isn’t “working for Trump”.
Maybe with the exception of people who work for ICE, I have a really hard time believing that career public servants for agencies like HHS and DOE are experiencing such extreme backlash for “working for Trump” that they can’t get dates. People in DC know the difference between a career fed or a contractor who is…
Enforcement and removal is one part of ICE. ICE actually does all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with deporting immigrants. I have no doubt a lot of their resources right now are getting directed to Enforcement and Removal, but working for ICE doesn’t necessarily mean any part of your job is going towards…
I live in DC, and I can’t believe there are people in this town who would care about politics so much while not understanding that being a public servant is different from a political appointment. I’m personally calling BS on the idea that someone has to cancel dates because they work as a fed at HHS. For the most…
A friend of mine who works for Interior deleted a friends-only Facebook post of mine off her wall that linked to a Hill article on Zinke’s comments on old people/disabled people being the reason that national parks were losing money. (All I said was something along the lines of “I bet Interior folks are loving this…
My church (a UU congregation in DC) has a small group ministry for federal employees that is explicitly about figuring out what your line in the sand is, and how to keep one’s integrity as a career civil servant under this administration.
The people who are rejecting the HHS employee for “working for Trump” are morons who must have just fallen off the turnip truck. We don’t “work for Trump”, we never “worked for Obama”, we work for the government. We really don’t have a choice on who we work for unless we vote. That’s just asinine.
