Hate to break this to you dude, but the vast majority of wage level jobs don’t bother calling to check employment status. And of the ones that do, they’re going to get shuffled over to HR for a standard “John Smith worked here from X date to X date” because it is illegal as fuck to hamper a persons ability to seek…

But he’s also a 20 year veteran of the Senate, and that trumps (sigh) racism every day.

I’m really fucking disturbed by the response to Loving Liar’s letter, both in the article, and in the comments!

This! The more I think about this relationship, the more it sounds seriously abusive to me, and almost everybody (including Nerdlove) has seriously missed the fucking mark. Reverse the sexes here, and this just screams abuse at me. A man that keeps his fiance secret for 6 years until she’s educated enough to be…

Yeah, Harris is way off base on this one. Did the guy act sneaky and concealing? Sure, but if this was a healthy and trusting relationship from the start, he never would have felt the need to avoid walking on eggshells around her. I mean, look at the letter again; he had to be a secret for six years and get a…

He’s always been an awful human being, but some bug of pure evil and malice really crawled up his sphincter this year, didn’t it?

Point the first: You’re right, far too many cops do resort to force too quickly. And I say that as somebody that works with police literally daily in my job as an EMT, and supports them more often than not in incidents like these. That said, there are a lot more cops out there that have the patience of monks, when…

What 3 fuckin’ mooks voted against the sanctions bill?

Shit, in a marathon run, nearly every human wins (assuming the not fat, out of shape modern day ones). That’s our big evolutionary advantage. We can run just about every single animal down to the point of pure exhaustion.

“Suicide Squad, one of the worst movies ever made.”

My heart breaks for the Gard parents. It sounds to me like Charlie’s illness has been terminal for a long time, but I can’t really fault them for grasping at straws.

Ah god, when did it get dusty in here?

You are best bet

You’re kind of a judgmental ass, aren’t you? You sanctimoniously over reached with your first comment, and got smacked down by someone with actual experience in the field. You could have responded with appreciation for the chance for actual insider insight into the process to better inform yourself and learn more…

I see you left out the part where mom rolled over the first kid while lying with him on the floor, and dad has a tendency to forget to feed the dog.

I gave up after two episodes. I expected something lighter and funnier, given who the cast was. I didn’t want it to be sitcom fluff, but I sure as fuck wasn’t expecting a train wreck with a smattering of jokes.

I don’t think anyone is buying that bullshit except the partisan lost causers, who were never going to vote Dem anyway.

Man. I love Malek. He’s an incredible talent, and I can’t wait to see what he does in the coming years.

My experience is actually somewhat similar, if not in the details, then in the general theme and tone. When I was 7, my parents were going through a divorce, and I wasn’t taking it well (to be expected), so I lashed out and I’m told sent kids home crying on at least one occasion. I also have that entire year of my…

Actually, it’s the institution of no-fault divorce in most states that saw the spike in divorce rates. Women being able to file had very little to do with it. Prior to no-fault, they had to have a viable reason to file (abuse, infidelity, etc) in order to file, and if one did not exist, their request could be denied.
