It would make some amount of sense to treat a heroin dealer as a mass murderer, and addicts as victims.

oh, well there you go. Thanks for the clarification!

in the US some states have free meals for qualifying students, and/or reduced-price meals for qualifying students. Unfortunately somehow in many areas of life here the qualifications for such things have not inflated at the rate of the actual cost of living and there are many in need who do not qualify. Also many…

I wonder if it's to prevent the "stolen lunch money" bullying trope?

I don't see how it's on you to judge the legitimacy of their employment. That contract they signed that you love to hold against them is also exactly what makes them employees protected by the law. Because the raiders saw fit to hire them, they can see fit to follow the fucking law whether someone on the internet…

Real talk? The fact that you accepted poor treatment does not make it right for you to encourage the poor treatment of others. How about breaking the cycle instead of perpetuating it?

Which is entirely illegal. If they do not value them at the minimum wage, they should not have a squad.

If its not valuable to the team, they shouldn't hire people to do it, full stop. And what's your hang up on uniform regulations anyways? They're required to wear the uniform mandated by the team who hired them, similar to any concession worker, retail worker, or performer (actor, dancer, model, etc). Why is the level…

If it was a hobby, they wouldn't be contracted. They'd just show up, when they felt like it. If you are required to be at a location performing a service at hours not determined by yourself, and that service contributes to a product or experience that is revenue-generating, then you are an employee. If you have an…

One of the things that struck me the first time I heard about it was that yeah, if I took a few months off of work and family obligations and essentially went to fat camp where my only job in the world was to lose weight, then I would lose weight like crazy. So I figure that going on this show is probably the way…

I cannot think of an instance of that gif being used that I have not liked.

My old roommate loves that show, and I couldn't manage to sit through a single episode with her. She couldn't see why, but then she also couldn't see that she was super judgmental and constantly interpreted anyone telling her anything about their lives as "fishing for help." So, yeah. I avoid it like the plague, and…

I think the best well-worn face just died :(

Yes I'm aware of that, but how is being sexually assaulted equivalent to sexually assaulting others? If you read this series of tweets in the order posted, it seems to suggest that the two are on equal footing, and if you prefer to only associate with "nice" people (that's one HECK of a euphemism for child molestation…

The one where she compares him to Marilyn Monroe was the stunner to me. I mean, what the heck did she ever do that's on par with child molestation?

It was really good. I also thought he played the part perfectly in Doubt, though the movie overall was very uncomfortable.

My husband was just asking me what I thought would happen with his character on the next movies for Hunger Games. I *think* he'd done his most important task anyway and they can kill off Plutarch without too many problems, but still...

Yes to that. I was just thinking what his career could've been if he'd beat this, and I bet he'd be the one to beat for the Oscar, every time for anything he did, just like Meryl.

What is everyone's favorite PSH movie? I'd have to go with Pirate Radio myself.

And then it depends on what that particular hat has to say about you.
