Almonds suck less water than stupid cows. Stop being a mouthbreather.

Pretty sure more CA water gets used to grow alfalfa, which is then fed to cows. In China.

I think a lot of people are rightly concerned about a billionaire using his money & power to silence speech he doesn’t like. Regardless of your feelings about Gawker, this is not a good thing.

You don’t think that a Republican billionaire who uses his money & power to suppress gay rights being gay himself isn’t newsworthy? And no, showing 6 seconds of Hogan’s ass isn’t worth $140 million. Hogan as pissed that his racism cost him some money, and thin-skinned Thiel was happy to use Hogan to harass Gawker. Too…

Nop. You’re wrong. It’s a really important issue and if you can’t see it, too bad. Billionaires funding wars on media via proxy lawsuits is a crime against society buddy. Hate gawker all you want, the principle is a vital one.

And those same people who want little to no regulation on firearms want to regulate abortion into obliteration.

I’m a naturally anxious person, but does anyone find their anxiety about being in public spaces has gone up? Like, are you purposely avoiding doing things because of your fears that this would be a place where someone would freak out and open fire?

and we have a well regulated militia. its called the fucking national guard so like this second amendment average citizen thing has never made sense to me. THE OPENING LINE IS ABOUT A MILITIA. If you have a weapon of war with zero regulation, and you aren’t in a militia. It. Doesn’t. Cover. You.

Pencils don’t write on paper, people write on paper. I hate all of these stupid sayings.

And as a result we had 9/11.

The government is run by anti-government types that constantly claim that the government is broken. Why else are the ATF, TSA, VA failures?

And, much of the time, the money is there. The business owner is just whining about not getting rich fast enough.

Hahaha that’s cute. I didn’t “follow my dreams” to a profession that pays for shit and takes advantage at every turn. For many years I was a decently compensated writer and editor at a large newspaper that eventually laid off a shitton of people. Then that same newspaper stopped paying its freelance writers for the…

That excuse only works if the chef is has equity in the business. Otherwise you’re working slave labor wages to fund someone else’s startup.

Right? That’s always the argument. And yet there are so many examples of small businesses that already pay their employees fairly and are extremely successful. If you can’t afford to pay your workers fairly, you don’t need to be in business.

I came here to say this exactly.

“As for the question of small businesses, “the fact of the matter is if the only way a business can succeed is by working someone at 60 hours a week for $25,000 a year, if the profit margin is that small, then that business has really big problems in and of itself,” she said. “That’s not the model we need to embrace…

The “Park” here is more in reference to the traffic that will come to the area around the stadium to listen to the games on the radio while stuck in their cars.

Can’t wait to not be able to take public transit and brave the busiest interchange in the south and not find parking to overpay to see one of the most dismal teams in MLB history while sitting next to a bunch of old money assholes with funny sounding voices. But at least I won’t have to see black people out the window…

Just let all the rec-league softball teams that used to use the parks, play instead at the new stadium. Braves fans would appreciate the upgrade in the quality of play actually.
