Isn’t them looking perfect kind of the point of this whole movie? I’m in it for the hair, the makeup, the outfits.

It would be amazing if local businesses “got lost” delivering food to Fort Hamilton for a while.

I didn’t think there could be a worse way to tip than a Christian pamphlet but here we are.

This is such nonsense. As a high school teacher, former teenager and mother I cannot fathom how completely out of touch and deluded Jada Smith can possibly be. Like, almost devastatingly out of touch. This is the same mother who defended her adolescent daughter lolling around with a nineteen year old in bed too. When…

Why isn’t tipping a viable solution?

I think about this everyday. On the outside I am a fairly successful attorney/writer working in nonprofit in DC. I volunteer, I went to law school as a second career late in life. I travel extensively and I’m a photographer who takes pretty good wildlife shots.

He’s a douchecanoe; end of story.

Seriously! When I was 15 I thought I deserved out too. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’m endlessly wishing I could just go home and be taken care of.

I have a kid who’s 6 months from being 18...and has no earthly clue how much the real world costs and doesn’t give a single fuck about you. Not that we haven’t tried (Oh lord, the trying has damn near killed me), but at this point Mr. Levy and I just have to be like, “He’ll learn, one way or another.”

This is the exact explanation of being 15.

The Smith family reminds me a lot of the sanctimonious rich parents I grew up around that bragged about how independent all their kids were while they ignored them to go on adult vacations to Necker Island, and then threw trust funds at them to “support” them through college, and then were shocked when their kids died…

I don’t understand how Jaden or Jada thought emancipation would get him out of their bubble. Everything he’s ever accomplished derives from his parent’s fame and money. If he wanted out of the bubble, going to college, preferably abroad, is the only thing that might have done the trick.

EVERY 15 year old thinks they are grown up, their parents are holding them back and they need to move out. One good thing about being lower middle class, my parents could just reply “How are you planning to pay for that?” 

It only looks like a big bucket, remember he has tiny hands.

in fact, they probably think tipping is very odd, because in their country, server’s are paid a decent wage instead... which is standard for most of the world.

I’d like to make a request. Although I agree this show is behind the times in terms of progressive feminist thought, this is the only place I’ve found where watchers can talk about the show without being bombarded with comments about how fat acceptance is wrong or bad. So could we have at least small weekly posts so…

While I do tip, I agree that it should be $0. Just tell me what you want me to pay. Pay the servers a real minimum wage. I think tipping has gotten out of hand. Panera now expects you to tip their cashiers. Taking my order correctly should be their job. I shouldn’t have to pay them extra just to get it right. Just…

I also support mandatory tips added for foreigner tourist who are also notoriously cheap.

Enough with this shit. Instead of automatically including a tip in the bill, why not try PAYING YOUR EMPLOYEES DECENTLY!

Fuck that. Pay your servers a living wage and the problem solves itself.
