Which is why we need to blow up the current accepted system of higher education. I graduated in a relatively unsexy field and you still need a masters to just get unpaid internships unless you have a very solid inside contact. We are basically at the point where you need 6+ years of college just to start your life.…

It sounds fake. Why would a waitress put her name out there like that? Since when do blackjack dealers check IDs in Vegas? And it would seem inappropriate for the dealer to proclaim his presence after doing so. Also, Planet Hollywood is a third rate resort. I find it hard to believe party guy Manziel would waste his…

And I bet this company gets hundreds if not thousands of applicants for every white collar opening that pays more than 35k a year. Most 20 somethings don’t bother to look at benefits. An ex-gf was so excited to get her first “real” job out of college she didn’t notice or seem to care about only having 1 WEEK of…

The ID thing for a $10 dollar tip on $400 just seemed excessively mean spirited to me. Server in tears? Working a tipped job is peaks and valleys, just accept it. Fine, be rude to him, but effectively “losing” his ID was just too much.

On that note, one thing I’ve noticed is that substitutions and special requests have gotten out of control in the restaurant industry, particularly at the lower end. You can’t even go to Wendy’s without some idiot in front you running off some list of customization, rendering the simplicity of FAST FOOD moot.…

It never ceases to amaze how idiotic people can be about directions, and if anything, mobile phone navigation has made it worse because people become dependent on spoon fed directions and never develop an awareness in their head. I have a friend, even with GPS, gets lost every time he deviates from his known routes.…

The only people that could conceivably make a living off streaming royalties are acts that have broken into the national spotlight and already have hit songs, major tours, big labels behind them, etc. The new economics of the music biz means giving music away for free in the name of generating a fan base and selling…

All Sandler ever did on SNL was appear on Weekend Update either singing a song about current events or doing a character based on that baby voice he does. I never understood why he blew up.

It was fun in his 20s when he’d go on late night talk show dressed like shit, but he’s old now and it’s just pathetic and immature. It just reeks of insecurity and a passive aggressive play for attention and special treatment.

What’s never been fully appreciated is Nicki Minaj’s miraculous crossover appeal. Seriously genius tight rope act her and her handlers have managed to pull off for a few years now. On one hand she’s ghetto and plays into the drug fueled and misogynist lyrics of hip hop, and on the other she’s poppy/EDM-ish when she…

I like Jersey Mikes too, though I noticed they are expanding considerably and I’m skeptical if they can maintain the quality. I saw a local franchisee hiring a store manager for... 9.50 an hour. Yikes.

I remember when I was younger it was such a treat to go to Subway and it seemed so fresh and delicious. Maybe my tastes have just matured, but it is noticeably terrible. Everything from the bread to the meat to the veggies just tastes of supply chain optimized fake-ness. I’d suspect over the years the quality of the…

Car design has plateaued in general. Most mass market cars are very attractive these days but every brand has adopted the same general language. Everyone has stepped their design game up but at the same time have minimized their appetite for risk in the name of mass appeal. That’s why these days half the time you…

Yep, but those are the ones that will post pics of their bad tips to instagram and whine about how the world owes them something, and bitch about making less than X amount on a Saturday night. Lots of people have shitty jobs, I'm not sure how servers became some sort of charitable class as opposed to anyone else.…

The starving server is a myth. Everyone I know that serves or bartends does it because they make a lot of money off people's guilt and sense of charity. Not unheard of for servers and bartenders to top 50K at busy places in big cities, that's why servers are always entitled 20 something brats that think you OWE them a…

His whole, "I'm a shy, insecure, recluse that wears flip flops and t-shirts" persona is just fucking sad at this point. Grow up, dress presentable for TV interviews and stop acting like an aloof 20 year old. You've been a Hollywood sellout for like 15 years now, nobody is buying it.

To the contrary, my liberal arts degree has left me with long term head injuries after banging my head against walls and wondering how I ever thought this shit was going to get me a job and why on earth I borrowed all this money. Stick it out for a couple years, pocket the money and retire before 30. It's about…

There was a second inflator

None of the points you make changes much about my argument, which is really just skepticism towards Amazon's broader business plan and long term "end game" so to speak. We get it, Amazon's plan is to sell a lot of stuff at a loss to build consumer habits and lock them into the Amazon world for higher margin products…
