I work out late at night in those scenarios. Mornings are for sleeeeeeeeeping!

LOL whatever. I just think certain crimes are absolutely punishable by death. As noted, they don’t happen very often. So the death penalty - exercised only by the federal government - would not be used very often. The feds have only executed a handful of people since the 1950s. That sits right with me. What’s…

Nope. That blood vengeance is important. You want to blow up a federal center and kill 180 people, including dozens of entirely innocent children? You want to walk into a church and massacre completely innocent strangers because they’re black? You want to stalk and slaughter 30 women, at least, through the upper…

Well yeah, exactly. The federal standard for the death penalty is much, MUCH higher.

The death penalty should be outlawed at the state level and nearly abolished at the federal. But only nearly. It should federal-only and it should only apply to that tiny, minuscule iota; they deserve it.

I actually think as professional dress codes have become more diverse and expanded, ‘business casual’ has completely ceased to exist as a real thing. No one knows what it is anymore. I have a lot of friends in business casual workplaces whose workplace fashion thoughts go something like “????????”

You dress professionally because at work which means you are providing goods and services for other people and it’s a sign of respect. And every single industry — including the myriad with actual uniforms and not just dress codes — has a professional dress code to keep social interaction lubricated as you transact…

Mornings are for sleeping, not working out.

Meteorologists have the most FASCINATING wardrobes. I am always staring at our lady meteorologist (who is also young, and beautiful, and very fit and thin, and stylish, and, like, that girl) because her transformation from girl-in-workout-gear coming in and Broadcast Meteorologist is stunning. And the dresses are so…

To be fair, when I spent a bit of time after college being a receptionist at law firm on the East Coast (but not NY), things were relatively lax when it wasn’t srs business. Nice jeans and button-down, slacks and button-down, fine, cool. When they suit up, they suit up. But that was a relatively small firm. And…

You speak truth. Weekend nights I think I could deal with — people go out late, and you’re available for an earlier brunch (which, where I now live, all brunch is “earlier.” the fuck do people want to get up and out at 11 for??) during the day. Hangovers are doable. But the mornings? FUCK NO. The weekend 5 a.m. alarm…

LUCKY YOOOOOOOOU. I’m moving off weekend mornings soon (PRAISE HANDS) but I regularly wear the same outfit both days. Without showering in between. And the shirt is also my pajama shirt.

I think what constitutes “professional” is highly dependent upon the industry you’re in. Lawyers, bankers, finance folks, much traditional “business” workplaces — those are suits or half-suits (aka: suit pants/skirts and blouses for women, or suits pants and shirts but no jackets for men) or go home, period. For most…

Sometimes the dumbness of teenagers makes me inordinately sad. Sometimes it makes me incredibly happy. This is the latter. Be weird and irreverent, teenagers. Never, ever let them take that away from you.

Oh hahaha, that’s cool! I was so confused! Thanks! :)

I quoted your comment at the top of mine:

I think one of the most astonishing, impressive, admirable and just stunning things about Hillary Clinton is shit like THAT has been happening to her on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis for the last 25 fucking years and she doesn’t bat an eye. She is made of steel.

I don’t even think her plan is bad, and I agree that kids that are super wealthy shouldn’t be getting free college. It is her attitude that made me not trust her as much with the issue. The way she spoke about it made me feel like she had zero empathy for the workload and the difficulty of being a college student…

You’re right on the 10 hours, and the tuition sliding scale and 10 hours of work to cover room board food and expenses is supposed to make full time off-campus jobs unnecessary. Instead of having to scrimp and save and work an extra 40 hours a week to make ends meet, you pay as much tuition as you can reasonably…
