Now I just really want to know what Miko’s parents taught her about the bees.

Because the police erased security camera footage of the execution from a nearby Burger King, and lied about nearly every aspect of the encounter?

Because it took them 13 months to even bring charges, largely because the department was trying to bury the case, including trying to get this video sealed away from public view.

The real problem here is that you think Hawaiian and Buffalo chicken toppings are indicative of “artisan hipster”-ism

How do you not have Buffalo Chicken Pizza? Do you live in a box on a deserted island? That stuff is everywhere.

buffalo chicken and hawaiian pizza are, like, normal pizza types that a lot of places carry. Neither is my cup of tea, but there’s nothing hipster about it...

were reported to the police by Walmart (fucking Walmart) when they went to get the photos developed.

Yes. Thanks for your comment. I’m deeply confused at the equation of not crying with not having empathy. These are professionals in a professional setting behaving professionally. I have total respect for the frustrations of the students in that meeting, but their equation of visible displays of emotion with…

I was also struck by this. Somehow if the administration and faculty don’t show visible emotion in a professional context they lack empathy or the ability to listen and consider what they’re hearing?

This lovely man came in every day, I burned his bread, and he left a $5.00 tip on a $4.00 meal. One time, he heard me (quietly, I swear) talking to another waitress about how I couldn’t afford to have my other cat spayed yet, and when he left, I found $100.00 under the cup for my cat.

Seeing as the only times it pops up ads are when you’re at a dead stop, I think it’s a pretty reasonable compromise. If the ads really are that painful, Google Maps keeps carving closer and closer to Waze by the day.
