This is a nonsense comment and you should be embarrassed.

May his days and nights be filled with burning disgestive agony from food-borne illnesses caused by underpaid food sevice employees with no paid sick leave handling his food.

I swear the people and their minimum wage bullshit- like this gem “If you don’t want to make minimum wage then don’t settle for minimum education and minimum effort” Hey. Fuck you! I have an Associate’s Degree and a Bachelor’s degree- I am working in the kitchen in a long term care facility as cook’s help. Eventually

I work in management and make less than $15/hr, and you know what? Good. They fought for it and they earned it. I continue to fight for it at my job too, and hopefully someday we’ll get it. It’s not a competition, it’s life.

My mother has broken the software of every electronic device and service she has ever owned. Phone, computer, iPad, Samsung, coffee maker, ordering from Lands End, Amazon (seriously how do you end up with 3 duplicate accounts with the same pw and email?), and the public library. If the robots try to take over, I’m

I’ve been contemplating writing a longer “why the arguments that increasing the minimum wage will lead to all fast food jobs being replaces with robots are horseshit” post for a while now. I might do that for Saturday.

Remember, there’s no magic wage threshold for restaurants to replace employees with robots. The point employees will be replaced is “when the technology exists.” And only when a touchscreen can handle your 92 year old Aunt Nona’s electronic device incompetence without employee assistance is the day human order takers

20th and 21st = centuries! Don’t you even math?

My greatest extremely-hypothetical fear is that wonderful brilliant aliens will find us and come for a visit to say hey ‘sup . . . and they will land in the back yard of one of these fucksticks. Who will promptly either dispatch them with a Remington 12-gauge, or will so thoroughly humiliate the entire species that

Wikipedia and Google, whose contents are largely based in reality, are notorious for being what wingnuts refer to as “liberal.”

Do they mean “Kenyan” as in “Swahili”? Because according to good old (FUCKING FREE, EASY TO FIND) Google Translate, black power = nguvu nyeusi.

Pretty soon. We are prioritizing our efforts. There was a two for one tuna sale at the local store. So after we have a solid tuna horde politics is next.

Revenge is a dish best served at blister-inducing temperatures.

I proceed to exit the cooking area and whacked him with the hot cookie sheet, chocolate chip and white chocolate macadamia flying everywhere.

If getting spanked “once or twice” constitutes “wild” as far as parties go, then I am your new Bacchus. Please line up, single file, to my left. You are each entitled to One, but no more than Two, swats. Three if the mood strikes me, but NO MORE. Four would simply be over-indulgent and quite frankly I do not believe

You make a good point... AND YET.

At least it’s better than her Met Gala floral number? Idk, that’s about the only silver lining I can find.

That’s the one thing that I find cheering in all this: the fact that most people—certainly not all, but most people—will read this and think, “This lady is nuts.” Even fifteen years ago, this probably wouldn’t have been seen as a particularly outlandish thing to say.
