It frustrates me to no end that the current refrain is that the best way to resolve unfair pay practices towards financially vulnerable restaurant employees is to exacerbate it by stiffing said employees. Like, what the fuck do you expect them to do, just quit and hope like hell they find a better paying job?

Case in point: Japan has a non-existent tipping culture (service staff will be even embarassed if you try to tip them, which can be considered a faux-pas on the part of the customer).

This is fairly predictable, when it’s long been extremely obvious that the only thing that makes gun manufacturers happy is more money in their pockets.

Mangroves would help with the erosion and also helps to reduce the effects of storm surge! They’re also fantastic for local wildlife.

Typical republicans.  

Why should tax payers pay for their private property? Typical freeloaders.

If they want tax payers money to be used to fix it then tax payers should have access to the beaches. Otherwise let them pay for it themselves 

I still vividly remember the episode where Jay’s son - a student at the United Nations school - was in charge of building a float for the school’s parade. It was supposed to be a man on horseback, but because all his classmates left after they ate the pizza Jay provided, he was only able to complete the back half....

I expect there’s a seal inside, joining the upper torso to the legs. What you see externally isn’t the pressure bladder, on any spacesuit, so it’s difficult to really judge the integrity of a spacesuit just from a photograph. They’ve probably just made sure the outer layer of the suit overlaps the gasket that joins…

The ISS EMU also has a join at the waist, as did the Apollo EMU, allowing them to be donned sort of as if they were pants and shirt. The upcoming AxEMU for Artemis will lack a waist joint, as it’s a “suitport” design. The Gemini suits also lacked a waist joint, being one-piece suits custom-fit to the astronaut and…

Dorsey… also seemed to call X a “freedom technology” in a tweet on Saturday, warning users to not depend on corporations to grant them rights.

A good tailor knows how to measure twice and cut once.

Technically the first Captain Marvel was a dude but Carol Danvers was and had been a far more popular character in comics than the original was. She just had a bunch of different character names before taking  the Captain Marvel name. At that point a black woman had already used the name and led the fucking Avengers.…

Are they gonna make AVC subscription-based like they did with Jezebel and Splinter? Because 1) If Teti or O’Neal or whoever had asked for readers to do that back during the site’s glory days to avoid being bought out by Univision in the first place, I would have gladly said yes, but not for this husk and disemboweled v…

Jiffylush ain’t wrong at all here. “Shareholders” paying off his fines. Suckers.

I know all that.

Still not worth 3 freaking billion dollars....

Yeah, still not convinced that making me wait even longer behind that horrible person with the list of 6 completely different customized sandwiches while the Subway employee slices 3 different kinds of meat for each one is going to to drastically improve my sandwich enough to make it worth it for me.

This seems fine. Moffat wrote some very good episodes but was a terrible show runner. Popping back in to do the thing that he did well makes sense.

In unrelated news, malpractice lawyers nationwide all seem to be ordering new boats.
