I sincerely don’t see how pointing out that Lexington is a spectacularly dangerous city to be out and about in at 4 a.m. somehow lessens the tragedy of this, or is somehow accusatory of the victim. If anything, it’s accusatory of the city and state governments, which have stripped the local police force for parts and…

Legally, sure, but Trump’s been laying the groundwork to claim the election is “rigged” for months now. His most zealous (and heavily armed) followers will believe the evil liberals stole the election from him, and will “act accordingly.” It’s going to get ugly. This is one reason that we don’t just need Trump to…

Have we been watching the same election?

1) Trump has no reason to withdraw. There’s a month left, and if he doesn’t do at least one unspeakably disqualifying thing per week people forget he’s awful and the polls even up again.

Very nice. We don’t have In-N-Outs around here, unfortunately. I’m not sure how large the chain is, are they as heavily franchised as something like McDonalds? One thing that seems to be clear from the data and responses is that directly owned stores generally treat their people better than many of the franchise ones.

That definitely helps explain the wide disparity of experience on display here.

Sure. I’m going by anecdotal reports from students of mine and the (previously linked) average figures, there’s bound to be lots of variation from store to store.

Yeah, sadly that’s the game almost everywhere these days. Something really needs to be done about that.

I agree entirely with your intent, and obviously assaulting a fast food worker is reprehensible behavior. Being proud of it is just... I don’t have words.

Not just a great read, an important one too.

I’d just assumed it was a (really well done) action figure, it certainly never occrred to me it was a real person.

I wasn’t actually aware of Crystal until this thread. I’ll definitely have to give it a try some time!

Absolutely THIS. Sriracha, Tapatio, Sambal Oeleck, and even Frank’s Red Hot all have their uses and are wonderful in their appropriate context.

Plus it’s heavily implied that he was killed at the end of the most recent special.

What the hell was a magazine called “Women’s Health” ever doing using a term like “bikini body?”

Oh. Well then it’s not so much grammatically incorrect as it is oddly petty. The mom is a real piece of work here, clearly, but that doesn’t mean the kid can’t be salvaged.

Also effect (noun) being used as affect (verb). Plus, the opening line, which literally means he’s not disappointed.

Why would I want to wreck the game by making myself overpowered?
