You are acting like all food servers live in abject poverty and that none would do the job if they had any other options. And that is simply not the case, a lot of people make a decent living doing that job. And a lot of them would rather take their chances with tips than make $12 an hour with no tips. Because even…

The textbook clearly states “slave trade” IN THE SAME SENTENCE. It is definitely a lie to say that implies that they were merely “immigrant” workers.

Unless that one sentence is the entirety of the textbook’s information on slavery, then no, I’m not missing it. More than likely this is one sentence, pulled out of context and completely ignoring the rest of what the textbook covers. And of course people here are aghast at that, because God forbid they base their…

It’s one blurb on an illustration. We don’t know what exactly is covered in the entire chapter, but I’m assuming that since this was the only thing highlighted, the rest of the chapter does a reasonable job in covering the topic.

So the book didn’t refer to the slaves as “immigrant workers”. But the sentence DID refer to it as the “Atlantic slave trade”. Am I the only one missing what I should be outraged about? The only outrageous thing I’m seeing here is yet another completely misleading headline from Jezebel.

And I find it hard to understand why you keep referring to a $0 paycheck as if that’s all a server gets. If that’s covering their tax withholding and their take home pay is their tips, isn’t the end result the same as my paycheck where taxes have been deducted?

You’re right, but I’m also not walking out of my job with most of my wages in cash in my pocket every day. And at the end of the year, we all have the same tax liability no matter how our income is paid to is.

So what? A lot of people end up paying taxes at the end of the year, it’s not just servers. Ultimately you are still making whatever it is you average per hour throughout the year, that most of it is coming in cash instead of in a paycheck doesn’t change that figure. My point was that nobody takes home what they make…

Guess what? The rest of us have taxes taken out of our paychecks too.

I went out with a guy who had BIID once. He wore leg braces and had a handicapped placard. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was a mental disorder, not a physical one. There was no second date. I felt for the guy, but there was no way in hell I was going to make that part of my life.

It has to be Tiffani Amber Thiessen. Tiffani and Tori, they’ve already got the porn names.

I always thought that would be an awesome idea. I don’t think I’ve ever had particularly great wedding food, so why not go for something easy that almost everybody loves?

I have B- blood, which is one of the rarest types. I’ve never donated because I ain’t gonna lie. I’ve had a lot of dick.

I’m a diet coke addict. Regular coke tastes sickeningly sweet to me now.

It seems like a really bizarre hill to die on. In what universe is the right to do a robot voice worth 50 days of pay? And why haven’t they just fired him by now?

Don’t download the Daily Mail app. About 50% of their articles are Kardashian.

Isn’t Kendall the one who posted a picture of her nipples in a see through top the day after she turned 18? That seemed pretty famewhory to me.

So why don’t you try that? It would certainly get you noticed, and it actually seems somewhat appropriate for a PR job.

N*gro? Good lord.
