Oh, it definitely applies to him. He was in those horrendous Star Wars prequels.

I love the ones that tip right over the edge from broken English into Dada!

She just wants to know if it was always a scam.

“If we didn’t win, why do you deserve to get paid? If you don’t succeed in business, you shouldn’t be the first one to step up and complain about getting paid.”

Good for you. The best thing is that it only gets better (not caring what people think).

My friend had her wedding dress made into baptismal gowns for her babies.

I just can’t get past $4,000 for the dress. That was half the cost of my entire wedding.

It’s important to remember that if you’re an ally in a movement, you shouldn’t take up more space than is necessary- and should actively try to give voice to the marginalized folks around you. Example: straight people shouldn’t have the loudest voice at a pride parade.

Ok, but what you are saying is that it has never been sustainable on its own. It has always required water piped in. And now, we are faced with some sort of crisis regarding actual water shortage - which wasn’t an issue 60 years ago. So, I think that maybe the agriculture production, which has always been…

The Bay Area is not a desert. Northern California is not a desert. The Central Coast is not a desert. The Sierras are not desert. We’re all hurting here, and we’re not all So Cal. I’ll promise not to generalize about Minnesota if you can extend the same courtesy to California. Thanks.

Agreed! We can even reuse some posters from WWII!

Ok, but serious question. Should California still be the one producing all of that given everything you are stating: amount of water needed, expense, etc. I mean I think we are all in agreement here that climate change exists. And a consequence of that is that when climate in regions change, then maybe we need to…

And once again, agriculture PRODUCES SOMETHING.

Yeah, I have a rule of thumb for hyperbolic water headlines. Millions of gallons are always deceptive. Single family homes in Cali use 1/6 to 1/2 of a million gallons a year. Most crops, for example, require 1 to 2 million gallons for just one acre. So this guy’s use, while clearly excessive, is the equivalent of a…

I honestly can’t tell if the person commenting about Whole Foods and strawberries is serious or not. Yeah, it seems like a lot of people don’t get that a big swath of the population who can barely afford fresh fruits and vegetables in the first place (and couldn’t dream of buying them at some place like Whole Foods)…

I wish we could just call these assholes unpatriotic and use that jingoistic fever people used during post 9/11-Iraq War run up for a more self serving purpose.

I’m glad you know what every single poor family is/was like.

Well, she does say “cents,” and even five year olds have access to that kind of money. A five year old really has no concept of the difference between a quarter and $10,000.

Actually, sometimes we do. We’re not perfect, especially not at 5 years old, when we think 19 cents is enough to start saving for a surgery and that because we found it in the couch, it’s ours. And sometimes, poor parents don’t want to take the 19 cents away from a five year old to pay the bills because the thought of…
