No you don’t. Obviously their union contract could have different details, but by default you can release someone for any reason. Wrongful termination standards are incredibly strict and are usually limited to ageism, discrimination, gaming promised benefits, etc.

I had no idea Dan Romer worked on this. I loved Beasts of the Southern Wild and the music especially. My wife walked down the aisle to Once There Was a Hushpuppy.

I mean, he really could for this type of show. It’s the type he always said he’d dip into.

Maybe it’s time for one of those repeat viewings to catch the things you missed.

If it were actually beneficial to buy a big box of home necessities at wholesale rates and ship them to homes, the market would have that as an option. A big retailer could let poor families do that exact thing to stretch their food stamps out more.

Please don’t make me listen to your music.

Cure still exists? Their drinks were expensive but they were really well made. You could probably find them cheaper elsewhere, but it’s a safe bet and I’ve enjoyed everything I got there.

I recommended it, but I’ve gotten into a fight with a bartender there who accused a friend of lying about her legitimate ID because they didn’t want college kids hanging around and killing the vibe for some old tourists who were tipping well (just admitting that would have been nicer than treating us like shit). They…

We were visiting Beijing during the National Day festivities. One of our group is black, and kids would just walk up to her and point and say “black.”

Well ripped off is black slang origin, so one could be appropriating language and culture that did not originate with them. Or something.

I’m not asking anyone to grow a thicker skin or anything, but if no one is actually offended by the term, why walk on eggshells to avoid offending imaginary people? That seems pretty silly.

Is anyone actually offended by “No can do?”

But most of this is just geographic designation. New Orleans’ doesn’t top those rates if you include the bordering neighborhoods, and most of the cities at the top of these lists have built-in exclusion of the most crime-ridden areas. The cities at the top of the list are always cities where the poor live, and the…

No one’s traveling to New Orleans to go to Metairie. See also: people suggesting you go to Veterans Ave to get Cafe Du Monde. No.

Or just go catch the parades in Uptown.

Man I didn’t even make it to “You’re going to get murdered” before thinking “Fuck You”

Go to Cafe Du Monde. It’s cheesy, touristy, etc, but as a local I still went whenever I had to kill 30 minutes in the city. It’s real cheap and pretty fast (seat yourself? I didn’t know it was a thing to wait to be seated now).

The study underlying this argument (which I think has made it into mainstream news three times as of this post) is still garbage.

He shits up my otherwise enjoyable Ringer podcast feed with hot takes like “Team with glaring weakness should fix that weakness in the draft or free agency” and “WHEN I WAS IN BOSTON, BILL ALWAYS....”

Restricted Free Agency replacing Arbitration would be nice too.
