My previous favorite restaurant (owner sold it and the new owner failed) was fairly quick and not too expensive for the area where I work. I tipped about 30%. I noticed that, after doing this a few times, my order would get turned in as little as 10 minutes (Thai restaurant), as opposed to the 20 or more minutes of…

That’s when you cut off gifts.

To my knowledge, lane splitting is not legal in any state. Many riders believe that it is now legal in California, but it is not. A statute was added to the code that defined lane splitting, but it did not in any way legalize it. It’s also not illegal, but you don’t have a legal right to do it.

Sorry you didn’t get the basis for the comment. I was making a statement with the same basis as most of the jerks who don’t want to pay for certain medical issues because they can’t or won’t have to deal with them themselves.

It’s amazing how people don’t get how insurance works.

My first husband had Type II diabetes. I am aware of the difference. I was making a point about the people who start complaining about illnesses, medication, procedures, preventive care, etc. that they don’t want to cover financially with either insurance costs or taxes, which is usually based on their gender or…

You’re the wrongest wrong that ever wronged. You’re denying someone’s identity, something absolutely necessary to have a healthy person.

Yep. Doesn’t apply.

It was created for the benefit of slave owners, who wanted to be prepared and have government support for the next slave revolt. It, along with the electoral college, were both created on behalf of slave states. They need to end now.

Well, damn, I don’t want to pay for the blue pills, and I don’t want to pay for prostate or testicular cancer treatment (I mean, I’ll never get them, why should I pay?), and I’m thinking that maybe I shouldn’t have to pay for the high level of diabetes and heart disease in the southern states, because of their poor…

I had a really crappy HMO at one point, but they covered tubal ligation 100%. They knew what was cheaper.

Then you don’t understand micro-aggressions at all. They have a name for a reason.

Or you could get a better understanding of micro-aggressions and how they are used.

I tell the truth. My life is effed up and weird, and when I tell the truth, people think I’m joking. Or I pull out my drama class skills and choke up/tear up.

I was a Witness. I know exactly what you believe and what has been taught. I’m assuming you’re probably quite a bit younger than I am, so you didn’t live through the earlier end times prediction debacles. You also probably did not see the changes in regards to those who were disfellowshipped.

It’s complete BS. It’s a cult. It destroys families. It destroys lives. If you can’t even come out and say that you’re a Witness, then that’s extremely telling.

Yeah, I pretty much have to disagree with most of these definitions. I think better definitions can include:

Xander, per Whedon, was supposed to be based on Whedon. Makes the accusations by his wife that much less surprising.

It’s contributed to my kids not taking religion seriously, which I’m super fine with.

A lot of management don’t realize that making an investment up front in meeting with counsel, setting up handbooks and procedures, and following through will save them a lot of money later on, even save their businesses.
