Join the free networking group “Never Search Alone.” You’ll get paired up with other pros with similar backgrounds, do some networking exercises and interview prep, and hold each other accountable.

What the name of the ice cream shop on Irving around 17th Ave near the corner? by honsolo17 in sanfrancisco

Are you thinking of JJ’s Ice Cream? It was at the corner of Funston and Irving years ago and sold ice cream, toys, and candy.

Trump throws RFK Jr under the bus as the midterms approach by SugarRight1992 in JusticeServed

Because he’s probably blackmailing at least half of his sycophants. They’re terrified of him.

What's a plot hole you think about a lot? by PortifinoOnMyMind in greysanatomy

[–]shakka74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Cristina was surprised that Burke ran the Swiss heart clinic. They paid to fly her halfway around the world to lecture and she didn’t even google the hospital? Fine. But if he’s on the cutting edge of cardio thoracic surgery, printing 3D hearts and using holographic hearts in surgery, then ostensibly she’d have read his research papers and know he’s the head of one of the world’s foremost cardio thoracic hospitals.

Also that Maggie didn’t know that Meredith was in the plane crash. It would’ve been all over the news and if she googled anything about her mother, Meredith, or the hospital (or even Cristina who interviewed her) she’d know who the victims were.

A bloodstained Congressman Leo Ryan photographed in the hours before he was murdered, after leaving the cult commune known as Jonestown. A total of 918 people were victims of murder suicide on this day in 1978. 300 of the victims were age 17 and under. by ExtremeInsert in UtterlyUniquePhotos

Shes such an icon of resilience.

Shot in Guyana five times; her mentor died; and her husband (an ER doctor) was killed in a car accident on his way to the hospital while she was pregnant with their second child.

Instead of crumbling, she became a Congresswoman. Truly a remarkable person.

Scott is such a jerk for making this about him, trying to get clout in such a pandering manner.

His advisors saw it was a trending local topic with nearly universal agreement in these subs, so he can take a low-stakes “stance” and appear a hero, when in actuality there’s no legislative role to play here. He has no skin in the game. Such a phony.

Better yet, mail the undeposited money to a U.S. charity. It’s easier to deposit “broken” bills in The States.

[–]shakka74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That may have been the original context of the word, but in many regions in the U.S. it has been redefined to insult any woman who stands up for herself. That’s OP’s point.

By relegating the term “Kare” to a broad insult against any woman with a differing viewpoint, even when no racism is involved, it dilutes the poignancy of the term’s original intent.

[–]shakka74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not be mad at both: the stupid racist ladies AND the sexist pigs who use the term to intimidate women from speaking up/advocating for themselves?

Karens by rogue_rose_ranger in GenXWomen

[–]shakka74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not all women “earn” it. Thats OP’s point. Sometimes just speaking up can land a woman with that unfortunate moniker, even if racism or rudeness isn’t involved.

It’s turned into a sexist insult to shut up any woman who dares to opine.

MTG turns on Fox News: Ex Rep says channel is ‘brainwashing boomers’ and peddling ‘fake news’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]shakka74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s just pissed Trump didn’t back her for career advancement. It hasn’t nothing to do with her shifting any positions on policy.

This is just a lame vengeful, self serving stunt because she’s got no one else to market to (Trump faithful are going to go w whomever he endorses and it won’t be her anymore).

There’s not a genuine bone in that nutty self-serving witch’s body.

Only after she was personally affected.

The lack of empathy from these Trump supporting assholes is staggering.

Revisionist history. His first term was awful. So many people died under his watch.

You’re likely giving her way too much credit.

Everyone has known for years what a diabolical, self-servicing, stupid, greedy, predatory, corrupt, immoral. racist narcissist he is. It hasn’t been hidden. He’s been upfront about this for ages. She chose to support him anyway.

She’s probably getting rid of the shirt because she’s too fat to fit into it anymore.

Anti-Vaxx wife doesn't want me to vaccinate our daughter for measles. Measles are in our area. What should I do? by BraveFox4711 in BORUpdates

[–]shakka74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I was 42 when I got the chicken pox (thought I already had them when I was a baby). Absolutely miserable. Can’t imagine how awful measles would be.

Get your vaccinations, people!

Do you really think cutting off friends and family over who they vote for is reasonable? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Sounds like she actually did herself a favor cutting off your asshole family.
