Most workplaces have policies/guidelines for employee conduct and a dress code, some include hairstyles but that's not common. Let's not blame this young victim of racism for signing up to work for a company that doesn't have a formal policy on hairstyles. It was her first day, and the managers further humiliated her

“When did you choose to be straight?" - that makes sense to those of us who understand. The blindness in someone like Ms Renae & their stuttered answer to that question is that they still cannot conceive of the idea that a person was born, "created", LGBT. They are so fixated on their religion's condemnation, that how

I think that's why she threw a bone to those "sweet, nice people" that she loves dearly...she thinks she has already adjusted her approval matrix.

It's more inappropriate because as their coach, he is in a position of authority/power/control relative to his players - the dynamics in the relationship are highly unequal. Even if she never felt threatened, the 'safety' she felt with him was thanks his image as a caring coach...that's him using his image to his

I think for highly body-conscious celebs, the mix of verboten carbs, cream, pancetta - all suddenly together in ONE dish - ups the ante of desirability to them, in comparison to the rest of us.

Exactly my thought - the above-mentioned accidental scrambling, while disturbing, is not as much of a concern as the raw egg...

True, there's no official word, but the unconfirmed rumors are that the player is pregnant...which takes "inappropriate relationship" to a new level. That he's also "highly religious" adds another sleazy angle to the whole situation.

I’m still surprised to see variations of “woke” on Jez...that it has very specific origins and powerful meaning should have been clear from the enlightening discussion in this comments section:

I agree, Richard was such an important part and Edward Hermann played him so well. On a previous thread there was discussion about how most of the male characters were less than exemplary...Sherman-Palladino clearly loved Hermann & the character they created together.

I’m sorry about your history. It’s sad and nice to see a few of us, I’m not alone...growing up I didn’t realize it affected me. Whenever I was thin I was objectified/re-victimized in relationships; and then I gained weight which I now see was “protection”. Back & forth. Now I want to be healthy for me but I’m still

Congrats on the weight loss! Sorry about your dad, mine too. And my mom doesn’t see that her “she has such a pretty face” “she could be so pretty” about an overweight cousin is so wrong. It took years to finally realize why i had so many issues!

You were very perceptive. Interesting - you're right, his obsession with overall 'propriety' was a good clue he had skeletons...many people will quietly keep strong opinions to themselves, when they know it's just their personal thing. Cosby was so vocal & righteous about the very thing he was guilty of, major

That is the unusual charm of a sociopath...part charm, part image they have curated - but all smoke & mirrors. They either cut ties & run to avoid 'contamination' or they spin stories. They can be a heinous scumbag yet others excuse it or gloss over with "yes, but..." or "that's just because...". On the sociopath in

Elizabeth Banks as a proponent of women is ironic, with her unprovoked snark on Tara Reid last year, comparing how "a lot of us" survived but not all women in the industry do, using Reid as an example. Narcissistic self-worth based on others' failure/misfortune. One can discuss sexism and industry issues without

Sad but also about time - for years various backwards groups have tried to put the squeeze on corporations for actions/beliefs/support those groups disagreed with. PayPal's decision is just the same, and seems to be the only way to defeat bigotry.

I also recommend checking an osteopath. I mentioned up-thread they will do a whole-body assessment because many issues are related or compensatory. They focus less on spinal adjustments and more on healthy movement and functioning. A good one will give you take-home exercises to help you change how you do things

Depending how it goes, consider an osteopath. Their approach often involves less spinal adjustments & more of a whole-body assessment - your lower back issue could be due to tight hamstrings, or walking/foot position, etc. An osteopath will likely give you exercises/stretches and tips for self-care to build a better

While I personally would not seek out a chiropractor, at least the ‘farmers and factory workers’ in your example are adults, fully capable of choosing treatment & of assessing and expressing any concerns they have. But the idea of sending kids to a chiropractor wigs me out, maybe I’m just old-school. There are many

No one's body shaming here, it's her attitude that has been questioned. As someone posted below thread, it's also how she poses, and the expressions on her face. The way she poses is very girly, like a young grade-schooler 'look at cute lil ole me'. And she plays up the 'oops am I even legal'. She could dress like
