NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!!

What maternity benefits?! Your PTO and a few weeks of decreased pay while you argue with an insurance company to get short-term disability? (And the intrinsic costs of healthcare, but most companies are fully insured which means they just pay the flat premium rate.) Yeah, sounds legit.

As someone who is lucky to have a wonderful (male) spouse that stays at home and does all the shit I am terrible at and nurtures our child and vacuums at the drop of a hat because they know I hate dirty floors, I say “Fuck that!” That text was gross and nasty and built to hurt — and you can’t separate those feelings,…

Aside: They actually do most closed captioning through voice recognition now — not the speaker on television, but the captioner actually repeats it into a closed microphone connected to a computer program that has learned the captioner’s voice and shortcuts, etc. Mostly b/c most captioners couldn’t do it more than ~15…

And it went IMMEDIATELY to break. Dun dun dunnnnn!

Okay, fair enough. I do remember that now that I am less tipsy.

I will never forget SH saying “A woman at the helm calms the ship.”

Omg I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that with the split keyboard. Or the roller mouse.

Uber sent me a survey right before everything went down with the DeleteUber craze that focused specifically on subscriptions and how much I would pay. I was an early adopter who used them when they first showed up in Boston and credit them with getting me home safe multiple times. I was a huge user of uber black and…

Aren’t you supposed to do two hands when doing a Western handshake with a Japanese person?

They are, with mixed results. Oregon senator was able to by removing Sessions name. (Would still fall under indirect impugning but no one objected.) NM tried but was stopped. It’s a sham!

Does anyone remember when HW cut funding for the arts in public schools? I do. We went to one music teacher at the junior high and one at the high school. One teacher to do both band and chorus. It was a shit-show. PTA banded together and raised enough money to get a part-time teacher in. Then Billy Clinton was…

PMDD, anxiety, and situational depression sufferer here, who takes a pretty aggressive dose of Lexapro. Getting medicated made me feel like I could just...stop thinking and experience the present, instead of worrying about the future or reliving the past. I did have a moment, a month or so in, where I said, “Holy…

Ohhhhh, if you are up in the Northeast, there are definitely male strippers up here that would fit your bill. Not many over-muscled types — definitely more of the twink variety as referenced by another commenter. (ETA: I guess I have a different definition of twink, b/c my friends who consider themselves such…

I love strip clubs. The lady dancers are (usually) gorgeous and fit and creative with their routines. (#notallstripclubs, as I really frequent ones that put the routine above the cheesecakse — I am not there to see a woman lazy around the pole, I want to see her on the ceiling.) Male dancers are usually pretty campy…

My spouse also loves Arnold and he’s been watching it when I’m not home (b/c he’s not a total dope). He says it’s actually quite good and Arnold is very astute at observing the situations in the board room and making decent calls. I am annoyed AF that he’s giving DT “views” (we did talk about it), and I agree with you…

This was a great tip — just sent some Whole Foods gift cards. Thanks for the idea!

Donated. If anything, this election is getting us to talk about some really difficult shit, as a nation/planet.

This is all about cocaine. Do not even play.

Early '00s. My "best friend" at the time was getting married and I was asked to be her maid of honor. I had never been asked to be a in a wedding before, so (of course) I said yes. This proved to be entirely problematic as she turned into a massive bridezilla (this was before the glut of wedding-related reality shows,…
