My mom has vitiligo and this doesn’t seem like it offensive, since it is part of a larger costume. Probably ok at a costume party with close friends or in a play.

Does this number include Boeing workers on strike or furloughed claiming unemployment? Because that is 33k+.

Lines can be long, polls have limited hours (often conflicting with work hours), a person may need a ride to the polling location, etc. Some states have stupid rules like you can’t give people in line to vote food or water, which makes standing in line for hours more challenging.

I dunno… It is Kitsap County.

Cate Blanchett’s portrail of Elizabeth I (who I know was real, but I’m sure there was some creative license with the character).

They’ll ask for (and probably get) a government bailout. So no reason not to run the ship into the ground!

It is criminal how badly the company has been run for the last 3 decades. I can’t believe Vanguard, Black Rock and Newport (3 largest shareholders) haven’t sued the board for negligence.

Salmon and asparagus. 😃

I am a stupid American and I am unfamiliar with all of these (might be a me problem). But now I’m gonna read up!

My kids are autistic, so this would be a -11/10 for them.

I’m currently at this part: Therapist: “what about today? Is today the worst day of your life?” Peter: “Yeah” Therapist: “Wow. That’s messed up”

Underrated comment.

Maybe I’m misreading your comment (coffee hasn’t kicked in yet), but are you saying the bot is incorrect or that people view the bot as incorrect because it doesn’t support their biases?

OMG, what a nightmare. I can only assume you are looking for work elsewhere too. Best of luck to you!!

I currently work for a large corporation with one of the worst HR strategies I’ve ever seen. Their primary focus, as far as I can tell, is to prevent employees from suing the company. But here’s how it practically works out: It is really difficult to promote or get raises for high performers, which makes them a flight risk. That is coupled with it being equally difficult to remove low performers. It takes 6 months to get someone on a PIP, then another 6 months to go through the PIP process. Meanwhile the high performers have to pick up the slack without any extra comp. No one who is any good wants to work in that environment. So what you end up with is a death spiral of talent and increasingly worse products and services. I can’t get out of here fast enough.

Figuratively: my family Literally: caffeine and sugar

Never have I ever broken a bone.

I, too, eat kiwis this way.

I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state’s rules if you want your brain to hurt: https://dor.wa.gov/education/industry-guides/restaurants-and-retailers-prepared-food/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=Sales of prepared food,food from retail sales tax.

Go to all the specialists! And if therapy is covered, indulge in that, too.
