I think it's in good part because the more money people have, the less likely they are to personally know anyone who works in a tipped profession. So they're not in touch with how crucial it can be for those workers. They hear that you're supposed to tip, but they think, "Oh but they do make a living wage, surely."…

Apparently this is a thing! I never realized until I brought it up to my parents, who grew up blue collar. My mom's dad threw tips around like crazy, and then she & my dad ended up in white collar jobs & moved up in the world & saw how much less generous people are as they get more money. When you think about it, most…

Salons use 2 different techs to play on the strengths of each tech—some are great at nails, other toes (the skill sets are slightly different). A mani also takes half the time of a pedi, and costs a lot less, so if you just tip 20% on the total bill with the techs splitting it 50/50, that's not really fair to the pedi…

Chokal-Ingam says he’s revealing his race ruse now because he heard that UCLA is considering strengthening its affirmative-action admissions policies. He says it’s a myth that affirmative action benefits the underprivileged.

There is no way this dude had MCAT scores and undergraduate university grades under any name but his very own. There’s no way he has two versions and/or they didnt notice his MCAT scores were from some dude named Vijay Chokal-Ingam.

Mindy is not her brother and should not be held accountable for his nonsense. HOWEVER. So many of y’all on Jezebel were so ready to excuse her all-white (and almost) all male writers’ room, the fact that all 7 million of her love interests on The Mindy Project were (and are) conventionally attractive White guys (Seth…

what Kaling’s brother is wrong about (among many things) is that many black people who are qualified to get into a university are rejected because most universities will never let blacks studying there exceed 33-34%. So like - you need to be a child genius or you have to write an essay about how your uncle was killed…

It kills me that so many idiots will use this as a rallying cry to undermine efforts to fix a very real problem. I understand there is a very fine tight rope investigative journalists have to traverse but this, there were so many mistakes that didn't need to be made.

I’m more offended by Kylie’s well-defined camel toe. How are you gonna sit down in church with denim all up your vulva? OW.

They do not really look a like, come on the only reason he did that is because Zayn is a Muslim.

Look at this lil Bill O’Reilly wanna-be. It’s the only thing more pathetic than actually being Bill O’Reilly.

Facepalm of epic proportions. How that asswhipe is still on the air???

there are few people who make me more prone to frothing rage than that wet-faced hamster. I see him and I think he gives atheists a bad name because he’s so bigoted and misogynistic in a way that makes me realize he’s really not as liberal as he thinks he is. Fuck this fucking guy.

YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. You had me at “official Kanye territory”

..and please tell me you have learned to spell “peek” during that time!

Once I learned that she was severely abused by her mother for years during her childhood—-beaten, starved, denigrated at every turn—it all clicked into place. Pretty typical for abuse victims: Self-esteem in the crapper, emotionally immature, propensity for acting out to get attention, pretending to have “no filter”…

You’ve spelled out so well at least some of the reasons so many people (esp. men who seem to be “interested” in me, or perhaps my persona or the idea of me) annoy and disgust me.

She mixes up the crazy, but don’t believe any of it. Just dismiss, dismiss, dismiss.

It’s ok tho, she can’t be a racist because she had a kid with the black guy who was cheating on his gf with cancer while he was with Judy. If you ever want to spot check someone who is projecting their insecuriy issues, see how often they use the words classy and trashy to describe something.
