I agree! I usually reserve judgement until I read the comments but I chuckled a bit but then the mom in me was like “what?! You could have killed someone!!!”

She lost her license because she refused the breath test and her awesome parents took her car away.Her parents are the heroes here.

“Most people don’t find the things me and my friends do very funny, just immature, so I didn’t expect to get this big of a reaction”

2005? Oh shit you guys, I’m from 10 years in the future and I have to tell you...shit gets worse. Take all of your money out of the market in 2007, you’ll thank me.

Okay, but really. Can’t fault Coco. Pregnancy + childbirth? Top two fears, easy.

This isn’t nearly as exciting as seeing a different baby on the monitor, but when we installed some new fans in our livingroom, they used to turn on and off at will. Eventually, we figured out that one of our neighbors had a similar fan set-up, and their remote was turning on our stuff. A simple channel change also…

I was SO READY to take in some orphans and agitate for labor rights, when I was a young Samantha fan.

What about “123password”, that’s gotta be a good one. I mean really, who puts the numbers at the front of their password. It’s genius, I tell you.

Secure your network and this is highly unlikely to be a problem. All the creep stories you hear about are people with insecure networks... or whose password is “password123.”

The books are undeniably the most important part of the American Girl catalog o’ plastic stuff. I read all of Kirsten, Molly, Samantha & Felicity growing up, and they were a tremendous influence on me.

HAHA They made Joan a size two. And where is Roger’s pile of oyster and martini vomit?

On average, yes, I’m sure they do. However, they’re also making a guaranteed income on the same average they were making before, so I can guarantee their job satisfaction has gone significantly up. Not having dehumanizing experiences where you work your ass off and get a garbage tip tends to do that—as does having a…

I have no doubt that at some point technology is going to reach the point where it’s going to be possible to replace low-level low-skill jobs with automation and basic artificial intelligence. Even some mid to high level jobs. But $15 or $8 it’s not going to make any difference.

I feel like any articles about minimum wage should be required to lost the annual pay for a full time job a minimum wage. If you haven’t been paid an hourly wage this century $15 a hour sounds like a lot (far more than I ever made an hour when I got paid by the hour), but $30k a year sounds like not much.

If you like oysters on the half shell, The Walrus and the Carpenter is effing heaven. And they have the best Moscow Mule to wash them down. But good luck getting a seat, because they always have a line out the door.

You don’t even have to go that far. Higher wages means lower turnover in your staff which means less money spent training new employees constantly. Furthermore, an experienced staff tends to be more productive, efficient, and less inclined towards mistakes.

Is there any way Berman doesn’t have a monogrammed thermos?

I recently read that if every industry was actually liable for the environmental damage they cause, NO business would be profitable. I’m not sure what the solution to these problems is. The system is fucked.

Remember, there’s no magic wage threshold for restaurants to replace employees with robots. The point employees will be replaced is “when the technology exists.” And only when a touchscreen can handle your 92 year old Aunt Nona’s electronic device incompetence without employee assistance is the day human order takers…

Regardless, if your business doesn’t make enough money to pay your employees a living wage, then it is not a very good business, and deserves to go broke.
