Sneaking people into the U.S. is a whole industry. The Chinese equivalent of a ‘coyote’ is called an snakehead, except they are often much more full-service. And yes, many Chinese people pay a snakehead the equivalent of $80k-$100k to a snakehead to get them into the U.S. and trying to get them a greencard (often

Motion that no one gets their nails done unless they can afford to tip 100% tbh

“I’d rather people just judged me on my personality and my character and my integrity,” he said.”

How did they manage it? I can’t be alone in a VS store more than 2 minutes without a sales associate coming up to me. That, plus the sensors. Just... how?

Gotta be to resell. No one needs 150 bras.

Devil’s Advocate: what if they stole a quote from Maya and attributed it to a white woman on a stamp?

“Restaurant food was decent but I had to provide my own bread and wine. The next day I was nailed to a plank of wood and died. Would not recommend.”

If you do have an adult cat, def. get a kitten instead of another adult cat. At least with a kitten, your older cat has a sense of dominance (though in my guy's case it was totally imagined).

Most shelters also offer personality blurbs about the cat's background and/or observed behavior, which are very helpful in deciding if socially the kitty will be a good fit for your personality and expectations.

Nah, there's no reason to start buying Fancy Feast regularly. If your cat walks away from its normal food because you temporarily fed it something it thinks is more delicious ... let it. It'll come back when it's hungry. It's not going to starve to death.

I have a cat that I ADORE. Don't wait til they're 6 months if you can help it. Typically cats can go up for adoption at 3-4 months immediately after being spayed/neutered. Get them then. This way you are their everything and you know there's no previous baggage it'll take years to overcome. You will get more

I’m a dude who works in the IT field, so I see this shit all the goddamn time. My Mom is an IT project manager and has been dealing with this shit for years.

I got fired in the last year for asking to be paid as much as a new guy they hired to do the same job as me (while also giving him the title I’d been promised and telling me that they couldn’t have 2 people with the same title - but that I could have a title at the same “level” but not that title).

nothing is worse than a white dude with a predilection for cockiness who’s old enough to be given a job and young enough to never have been disappointed by a job.

OMG SOUND GUYS don’t get me started

I am a youngish unmarried, childless woman. I work with a lot of married, childful men. Almost every single one of them works very late because they don’t want to deal with their kids or their wife. I used to think they were just busy, but they waste a ton of time during the day. So, if I want to leave when I finish

I worked for a family firm. My family’s firm, that my grandfather started. My mom was eventually made president, and she once told me that she was once denied a promotion (from her own father) because he needed to promote a man because he had children. My mom had children, too, but...no penis?

I had a boss tell me once that I was perceived as “aggressive and intense.” And let me be clear - I’m confident and competent but not “aggressive and intense.” But some people find women who share ideas and advocate for themselves and clients to be pushy and bitchy. And I do know that it was the boss and not me,

I am an attorney. I went to an interview to do part-time family law for a local firm. During the interview the attorney told me that what they were about to loose their receptionist/secretary (she was about to leave for a better paying job) and how about I take that job and they’d still let me “contribute” to the
