Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Because you've posted about the book already.

Oy. Maybe I should stay away. This all feels so stupid. And yet...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

No, I don't think you should. It should be fine.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

hmm, I was thinking maybe "back server", because I need to distinguish between the server and the busboy.

I worked in restaurants for years and I would have no idea what that meant. Busser is the only option I can think of.

I wouldn't worry, paperdol. But I might pick a different alias, so that if you start feeling uncomfortable, your [other place with that name] isn't compromised, too.

You know how sometimes at work you'll randomly get tasked with something without anyone explaining to you how to do it, and so you put it off, and then you forget that you put it off until someone e-mails about the status of the thing you've been putting off?

Yeah.

I like "busser", I'll use it. "busboy" just seems derogatory to me.

"Busser" sounds like someone who runs around kissing people to me.

"member of the waitstaff"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Busboy is clearly terrible, but there really isn't a great alternative, is there? Damn the power of oppression through language.
