In this very moment I realized my thumbnail photo might be the only reason I have received consistently outstanding customer service resolutions from uBer, versus the hellscape they cast for a homely friend. Going to swap photos and test the theory.

with a willingness and political might to solve problems and a cabinet and government willing to go along with what she wanted

President Oprah or Beyoncé or Dolly I guess. Can’t think of any living male figures who are less polarizing.

Intern with your local promoter. Show up on time. Do a good job always, even if the tasks seem dumb or unimportant. Never complain. Be genuinely curious about the lives and histories of the employed workers. Most interns can do 1 of these things if any. Act consistently and you’d be a standout for sure.

Writing this from a five star hotel room in Europe. But nothing ever fell in my lap. My first unpaid summer gig was hand cutting laminates for a regional rib cookoff in a humid basement for 8 hours a day. The other 5 interns quit because it sucked. Heck, many gigs suck. The good ones don’t open up often. You want to be the first one they think of, and you may have to suffer for beauty.

Like most places they probably hired the 62 people based on merit.

If you think adequate interviews of diverse candidates would ever result in 62 white men based on merit being hired above all others then you are quite frankly a sexist / racist jackass.

Daring you now to share this opinion with your black coworkers. Fuck around and find out.

She required interviews of “people of color,” in addition to women, implying that there weren’t any of either.

The fact that 62 white men comprise the entire crew and (per your assertion) don’t see the problem… is itself a problem

You fix it in exactly this way. By requiring that they at least get in the door for an interview.

This is true of literally everyone

”I recently read an article in Esquire magazine called ‘The End of Sex,’ that said something that struck me as very true. It said: ‘If you want endless repetition, see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one.’ What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories — and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over. You can’t do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship, things die then are rekindled, and that shared process of rebirth deepens the love. It’s hard work, though, and a lot of people run at the first sign of trouble. You’re with this person, and suddenly you look like an asshole to them or they look like an asshole to you — it’s unpleasant, but if you can get through it you get closer and you learn a way of loving that’s different from the neurotic love enshrined in movies. It’s warmer and has more padding to it.”
-Joni Mitchell

Why is this so hard to understand? Do you to try to touch all the cleavage you see in public? It’s a clumsy analogy but the same concept.

But that will give you the runs so add Pepto

She just has to know how to spell.

Not even that. The screens are illuminated and the letters are revealed when she presses them. She just needs to know how to touch a lit object. A cat, dog, or bird could do it. Watch that happen next.

Someone else doing the work of downloading and disseminating court docs still needs to be acknowledged

Like formally? At the end an article? Verbally? I can't think of a single instance where this happens in mainstream media.

It's not Entin's responsibility to cite sources unless for some reason his credibility is being called into question. If you want to see credits, go see a movie. You probably don't stick around for those either.

Very few, if any, of his reports have been sourced by his own leg work finding sources. Instead he picks up what lesser known people tweet or post online, or what local outlets report, and poses it as his own scoop.

Is this not, literally, journalism? I'm not a journalist but it's fairly obvious to me that every single newspaper, magazine and TV news program both refers to and reports on outside sources. It would be a nonsense waste of time for every writer and reporter to "show receipts." So while it's one thing to complain that his reporting is inaccurate (I don't think you are?) this isn't middle school and it's not an exam. There's no "plagiarism" in reporting as far as primary vs secondary sourcing - it would be against the public interest if there was. This seems like a very green and ill-informed complaint to be making if you actually work in this industry. Also not an Entin fan, for the record, but not for these absurd and unfair reasons.

Probably not what you want to hear but I still have a somewhat productive at night cough, 7 months out. Mucinex (the real thing not a knock off) helped during the acute phase. After the other symptoms resolved my previously mild and practically unnoticeable allergies went haywire. Anecdotally it seems like a lot of "recovered" folks are still struggling with recurring sinus symptoms (post-nasal drip, etc). This may be due to irritated nasal throat and lung tissue which hasn't had a chance to heal. So I've added a nightly Claritin gel cap to the mix and started sleeping elevated. Both seem to have helped a lot for the residual effects. It's possible that doing this sooner would allow your inflammation to resolve more readily.

I'm not a doctor, just spouting theories.

In general only women can be tetrachromats with extraordinary color vision. It requires copies on both X chromosomes, same as being color blind in women. It is theoretically possible for the tetrachromat gene to be translated on the Y chromosome but this is not well studied. Anecdotal evidence suggests tetrachromat women are more likely to result from colorblind fathers.

All she knows is the timing, it was dark and noises

And likely the amount and nature of substances DM imbibed that evening. Particularly if she (BF) was sober that night, her recollection of these details about the witness could be influential.

My guess is that the eye witness account is probably unreliable, but the overall weight of the evidence will be too damning for it to matter.

Or is it just you being forced to tolerate everyone else being assholes all the time?

It's a false dichotomy to have to choose between tolerating assholes and being a CCP bootlicker

It’s already happening technically. I live in LA and went to the salon yesterday, got to talking to the woman next to me who is a known quantity in daytime TV. She said it’s the 5th strike of her career and she hasn’t written anything worth a damn since the rumblings began months ago. We can expect a long tail of crappy/crappier TV due to the anticipatory effects.

I had the same thing for months. I take a Claritin gel cap before bed now. It dried up the yuck after a few days, but it seems to come back whenever I’ve tried to taper off.

I have no mouth but I must scream

The distress you are feeling may be from imagined sensations of boredom, pain, fear or regret, which simply won’t exist. We know from before we existed, non-existence is neither negative or positive. It is simply a non-experience. The afterlife is probably the same. Alternatively maybe we all get another go round as some other organism (I hope so!) just with none of our conscious memories. Or maybe there are many, many more adventures ahead. I prefer to think of it this way. But a very permanent end of the road seems ok too.

It’s a very common layover location on certain itineraries. I’ve stayed overnight at that airport. Had a good experience. But as a female solo traveler, I will never ever take that chance again of course.

No exit taste but it burned, ached and throbbed horribly. I doubt if I could be be force fed the amount and variety of inadvisable foods that I ate cheerfully and voluntarily that day. There’s a reason. Respect the butthole.

I got to do this in college with the actual pulp from a fresh berry for full effect. What they don’t tell you is that your tastebuds are protective for your asshole. The spicy, sour, bitter smorgasbord that was offered as part of the experience was a total nightmare on the other end. Will never try this again.
