I don’t get it. I have always tried to be as polite as possible with store staff when I go somewhere. I lost my temper once when a pharmacist was being super unreasonable, but that’s it. For years now. If they’re out of something, they’re out of something. If they don’t know an answer, they don’t know an answer. They’re not getting paid enough to deal with abuse.
Prince wanted people to call him Prince. He changed his name to that symbol to get out of a shitty contract with Warner Bros.
“Warner Bros took the name, trademarked it, and used it as the main marketing took to promote all of the music I wrote,” Prince once said in a press release. “The company owns the name Prince and all related music marketed under Prince. I became merely a pawn used to produce more money for Warner Bros.”
Hi. American Jew here. I do not support Israel. I have no allegiance with Israel. I don’t even have any interest in visiting Israel.
I’d like to not have to tell my daughter to hide her ethnicity because America is filled with antisemites. I was harassed for my ethnicity all through school because I couldn’t hide it (I look too stereotypically Jewish). She has a chance, but it’s disgusting that I have to tell her to hide it because “the world is tired of Israel’s shit” as if that had anything to do with either of us.
I come from Jewish parents. I’m an atheist, but I still consider myself Jewish.
My daughter is half-Jewish and I have advised her to tell no one in school because she will get treated differently, especially since this is Indiana.
One year in elementary school, one of her teachers assumed she was Jewish after meeting me (I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen) and singled her out for it multiple times. She thought she was singling her out for it in a good way, to teach the other kids something for example, but it just made my daughter feel embarrassed and othered.
Reminds me of a place I worked for in the 90s. We were the premiere catalog of contemporary radio drama in the country. It was niche, but doing okay. One day, this company comes up to us and says that they’re starting a satellite radio network and if we work on a commission basis, the company will make a lot of money. Only about five people worked there and we all begged and pleaded with the owner to take the offer, but he was nuts and kept saying things like, “there’s GOT to be a catch!” So he ended up passing.
Boston city workers began to clear tents Monday morning near the troubled intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Avenue as part of an effort to enforce a new encampment ban across the city.
What if they figure out they’ll just set up their tent elsewhere? Just keep kicking them out and repeating the cycle eternally? Because other than being cruel, I don’t see the point.
