When I was a kid my mom used to tell me that she knew she had started getting old when people took the same shit that had been around forever, brought it back, and called it a new name and got a whole new generation excited for it.

Here’s mine, from the ‘40s. There’s about an inch of concrete behind that tile. We’re about to do repairs in the shower, and I actually managed to find a company that still makes that pink tile. And a guy who’ll fix my shower without insisting on ripping out the whole bathroom.

Commercial as in “for profit.” Areas have to be zoned to be commerical as opposed to residential.

Why is it “millennial pink” when I’m pretty sure this is the exact shade of every bathroom that hasn’t been renovated since the 50's?

Can we all agree that the question of whether Adam Levine is or isn’t a colossal douche has finally been settled?

Yup, her fans won’t care and I agree with mediumrarefied, she shouldn’t have apologized. They can suck that shit up, like they laughed off all the threats and bullshit regarding Obama. They set a precedent of making that shit okay, but now want to act horrified. Deal with it.

Another day, another chance for people to shame Ariel Winters for doing the exact same shit 90% of Instagram did over the weekend. Darren Criss apparently gets a pass, because nudity is only sad and desperate when you’re a woman I guess.

It’s unclear what will come of the investigation (though my guess is “not much”)

Yes, I always thought there was a lot of overlap between unarmed, non-violent protesters and jihadists who send suicide bombers into crowded markets.

TigerSwan internal communications draw comparisons between the anti-DAPL movement and jihadist fighters, and characterize it as, “an ideologically driven insurgent with a strong religious component.”

I came here and didn’t see color.

CNN updated the source article with this additional paragraph shortly after Aimee made this post.

Seriously. At the grocery I worked for, we’d convince the new guys to go mop the freezer or that they had to shake the italian dressing every 30 minutes so it’d be appealing to customers. At worst, we’d convince them to lean over the mop bucket draing (had a spray nozzle int he middle) to turn the water on....

“Hahaha hey Jim, remember that one time when you guys all held me down and beat me and then set me on fire?? Oh man, what a riot that was, you pranksters, you!”

There’s a pretty broad line between practical jokes and intolerable cruelty. These incidents at this shop were clearly the latter.

We had the same thing, I shrink-wrapped a guys motorbike, he got me back by getting another guy to help him shrink wrap the doors to my truck shut.

Jeezus, setting him on fire and pressure washing him? What a bunch of bastards. The worst we ever did to each other was shrink-wrap each others’ stuff. Car keys, phone, etc. Everything nice and hermetically sealed. After a noob got hit the first time the lead would show them how to use the shrink wrapper.…

Agree with management responsibility. They set the tone and should have put an end to the shenanigans at the very first incident.

One can expect a certain amount of hazing or pranking in some industries. Basically just tease the new guy and see what he’s made of... as long as it doesn’t go far (as in no constant emotional and no physical trauma)
