Sure for a lot of people, these are the most basic entry-level jobs. But not everyone is going to be able to work in IT or finance or medicine or store managament. Some people love working retail and interacting with the public. They’re good at it. I know I appreciate dealing with someone in a store who is…

If the sex bench is not prominently displayed, you don’t deserve to own one.

Thank you. Very kind of you. Now you know another person who got approved on the first try without any fight.  I was very grateful to all the doctors. They all stepped up for me when I was in no condition to advocate for myself.

Absofuckingloutely! When I finally applied for disability, some people in my own family started giving me shit about it. I continued to work for five more years after I got hurt because I didn’t want to give up. The whole time I was repeatedly asking my employer if and how I could move up into a more supervisory, less…

Can we just sell it someone...anyone? I’d take a hundred bucks in Dunkin Donuts gift cards for it.

My first retail jobs were full time and paid enough for me to rent an apt. by myself. By the time I was unable to continue working at the retail shipping/receiving position I was in, I never knew from week to week how many hours I’d get, only get 40 hours during the holiday season, couldn’t afford the health…

It’s been a very very long time since most retail workers could actually make a living doing those jobs. Maybe people are finally getting tired of being treat like shit and having to scramble to get by.

That would be a great campaign theme for him:

Hmm. Interesting. I remember having to say the pledge in Chicago public schools from the mid 60's to the early 70's. Wonder if I can still sue the Board of Education?

i didn’t meet my father until i was 16...when he decided he needed to get to know me because he was diagnosed with cancer. i sporadically stayed in touch with him for the two years he lived. he requested i be a pallbearer at his funeral. i declined. i also refused the same for my mother. my vision of hell for the two…

i hear you. and i feel so much the same way. i’m sorry i have nothing helpful to offer in this moment. all i can say is...i know.

No doubt Megyn Kelly’s nuanced input helped fuel this educational discussion. She always elevates whatever conversation she participates in. A teachable moment for us all. Thank you, Megyn.

A lot of good advice here. Opening up was something I was never good at and it usually had a negative impact on relationships.While I did believe being able to communicate was good, fear and shame held me back. So my unsolicited advice is make the effort. Don’t keep fucking things up like I did.

Absolutely experiment with adjustments to the seat and handlebars. If you just can’t seem to get everything right, though, look for a professional bike fitter. It can be a pricey option but if the alternative is riding in pain or giving up completely, hey....

Same bullshit as always. It’s the fascists ginning up the lumpen over a manufactured “issue”. It’s their tried and true formula that unfortunately works over and over again. 

Sure, if this was a lab leak, that should be understood and better safeguards implemented. But what the whole lab leak theory from the far-right seems to be implying that the nefarious Chinese unleashed a possibly engineered virus onto to the rest of the world in the quest for global commie domination. Trump and his…

Won’t someone demand to speak to the manager?!?!

Whoooooooa there! You expect me to believe that Walmart doesn’t actually care about gay people?! Mind boggling!

Wasn’t aware that was what they did. Guess I always assumed there was some Wonkaesque mega-factory churning out the cookies in some top secret locale. The more you know...

Ditto. Struggled with the sugar and carbs addiction my whole life.
