It’s like 1 of 2 days where the whole country shuts down. Even if a person doesn’t celebrate, they shouldn’t have to work (actually that makes it like so much worse to make the non-celebrator work on the holiday).

We should all be mad if any store makes their employees work on Christmas. That’s just an asshole move.

Wait, no - I was wrong. Not a trial attorney. Not even a licensed attorney at the time of the murder. He had to get his licenced renewed to be a volunteer assistant attorney on the OJ case. BUT did create MovieTunes, the business that brought you music between movies in the theater. Huh!

I think her dad was a trial attorney. Maybe that has influenced her interest (and possibly there’s some hidden genetic talent there too).

I personally find the thinking on this is too rigid. I get putting boundaries in place so people are not abused. But it isn’t a moral failure of a person if they don’t fit into this box. I work a ton, but it is from home, with family, and supported by a stay at home husband. It isn’t right for everyone, and people should be protected from this if it isn’t right for them - but there isn’t anything wrong with it. Likewise, my maternity leave was 8 weeks, because I was ready to work and my work situation allowed for it. The American system is absolutely misogynistic, but the fundamental problem underneath both issues that we have managed to get ourselves into an economic situation that requires a two income household or to work a crazy amount.

Work-life balance is super subjective (what works well for one person may be debilitating for another) - and using it to make weird jokes like this is probably alienating for many in their audience. Poor choice all around.

The flaw in this argument is that Beingness isn’t defined by whether or not someone is on my (or anyone else’s) property.

Besides, land ownership is a cluster of rights (land surface, subterranean, air, etc.), none of which are owning humans. Did you know you can sell your land, but keep some rights, such as mineral rights? Crazy! And typically a functioning society has public lands like roads and forests and parks - and because of the way the market works, shops want you on their property to buy stuff.

Is your big complaint that non-landowners (unhoused) have no place to go?

Isn’t it just trespassing?

Agree to disagree. 😉

I saw a mauve one yesterday. Could they start there?

Obviously A cry for help

Not any weirder than attaching plastic hairs to your eyelids.

Agree to disagree.

JFC. These guys are morons.

I think of it as sweat equity.😉

Didn’t they announce EOL in February of last year? Who is still using this anyway?

Congrats! I deeply regret not investing in beanie babies when I had the chance.

We’ll, there’s Amazon go, which is actually slightly better than having to scan and check out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Go#%3A~%3Atext=Amazon+Go+is+a+chain+of+convenience%2CKingdom%2C+operated+by+the+online+retailer+Amazon.

Also Kroger did what you are recommending like 10 years ago, but it looked silly compared to Amazon go, so it didn’t really stick in my area.

THANK GOD. I was trying to get more poop in my life.
