The point is that “the Academy” as a traditionally white male establishment has decided the kind of movies worth nominating. They look down on lighter fare — rom coms, comedies, and tear jerkers — as not being serious enough. Those are the kinds of movies studios let women direct. Studios traditionally haven’t given…

The Sugar Ray Glove is not signed by Sugar Ray Robinson. It is signed by Sugar Ray Leonard. Different people.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure HOAs don’t address this. This would be on the city’s/town’s building codes. I’m reasonably certain that there are legal requirements as to the foundation of a home for its safety.

That would have been good information for the author to include in the article for those of us who don’t follow basketball; it gives some context to why the employer might be less than supportive. Otherwise, the sentence sounds a helluva lot like victim blaming.

We all like to think that we’ll have clear heads in a traumatizing and potentially violent situation, but the body will do what the body will do. That’s why police and soldiers have to train in simulated situations and even then, some of them still can’t function.

The response is not just “fight or flight”. It’s “fight…

Ft. Wayne native here. Coney Island is heaven. Three with everything (four if I’m really hungry) and a coke in a glass bottle.

Otherwise, Ft. Wayne is a culinary meh.

If the human race is going to die off, I know who should go first.

Unlike a bonus, though, a 5% increase to salary will compound over time. Say you make $50k. Your increase is $2500. The next year, your increase is 5% of $52500. It’s probably a good deal for both employer and employee over time.

I’m with you on the tax returns. Don’t give the government an interest-free loan.

The problem is that rules are subject to change with the administration. We’ve seen that with the Title IX ping pong since 2015. HHS should change the rule, but that doesn’t mean we can stop the work on closing the loophole through law as well.

Yeah, I’m sorry he was abused and I hope he gets help to process that. I have a hard time with rich people’s unresolved trauma getting inflicted on others. Most Americans don’t have access to quality mental health care because it’s too damn expensive. What’s Armie’s excuse?

If you’ve had friends 30+ years older than you, did you think about dating older women? Cuz I can think of 4 women I know over 50 who are smart, funny, engaged with the world and attractive. Also, many women over 50 have college age (or older) kids who are out of the house. No raising kids necessary. Ask yourself why…

These people sit on juries. 

Yeah, we all like to think we would assess the situation, grab a weapon and defend our friends or die trying. But we all don’t and we all won’t. I’m not gonna fault someone for reacting to keep themselves safe during a traumatic situation that no one is prepared for.

Yup. The thin veneer of social justice and activism makes it palatable to a lot of people.

All those things are great, but the idea of marriage as love match is a relatively recent one. If you were rich, you got married to secure your wealth. If you were poor, you got married to someone who could help you with your work: farming or doing the work in the house while you were a blacksmith or whatever. It was…

Cheap is fine. I make liqueurs and use the cheapest 1.5mil handle I can find. Once you add the simple syrup, it mellows out nicely, especially if you let it sit for a few weeks before drinking.

I like the addition of brandy here. I also have some maple syrup bourbon that might be useful for this.

Fixing it would entail clear and consistent messaging that harassment will not be tolerated and consequences for instances of harassment and retaliation. Culture does not come from the bottom up. It comes from the top down. Musk clearly does not value a culture of respect and workers know it. If management held…

Even if it wasn’t racist, it’s not appropriate for kids to put stuff in each other’s hair. I sincerely doubt any of the kids asked for consent. And what is the child supposed to do? Get upset tell them to stop when the camera is on him?

Poor kid.

Breaking News: Women aren’t guaranteed romantic love, either. No one is. You could do everything “right” and still never have romantic love in your life. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try for it, but it does mean facing that reality and letting go of expectations.

Just live your life doing what pleases you. If…

Don’t you remember that bikini photo of Harriet Tubman from the cover of Maxim in the 90s?
