Oh man is this true. People act horrified and offended when you negotiate your salary. The only reason I have my current salary is that my boss-a 50 year old white man-backed my request during my most recent promotion and had the clout to get it done.

Again, I want someone to answer my question:

I feel with you. Its bad.
But, looking on the bright side, if we all survive this, it could help to finally change the US for the better. Trump personifies the US’s biggest problems in an almost cartoonishly extreme manner, from racism and misoginy to income inequality and dangerous nationalism and more. If you survive

Don’t think that I didn’t consider that! But it was too ripe for the plucking.

To be fair, that might not be much longer.

His image will be framed in the halls of the White House for the remainder of US history.

We’re definitely defiled for decades with the damage that’s been done so far.

He will be referenced for the rest of everyone’s lives until there is no longer a USA. Even then, the country will be mocked like any other failed country for having a leader so inept.

You know what sucks? Besides the obvious. That even if trump gets kicked out of office and publicly ruined, all this shit has been put out there and exposed for the world to see. If the world was a neighborhood, we’re the family whose dad went outside jerked himself off and then took a huge dump on his next door

No, he can’t. His belly is too large.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: great presidents are going to piss of everyone at least a little bit. The fact that some of the stuff Obama did infuriated me and I still hold him up as the best president in my lifetime means he was making decisions for the country as a whole.

My Babel fish translates all that as “take Thursday and Friday off.”

What’s funny is that even IF Democrats are “doing nothing” for DACA, that’s still a hell of a lot more than “the Republicans and their president” (wtf, is Trump talking about himself in the third person now?), who’ve characterized hispanics as drug dealers and rapists, and are dragging all those “bad hombres,” you

It’s covered elsewhere in the day.

Make the punishment fit the crime.

I can’t afford to go to concerts anymore because I have two teens who now go to concerts. And ticket prices are fucking insane. One saw a bunch of smaller shows last year - $20-80 each, and both saw a couple of big tours - after the first one for $45 was nosebleed with obstacles, the rest have been over $100 each. It

I had no idea there was that much babysitting money in circulation.

I used to go to concerts all the time when I was younger. I don’t go anymore because it’s all too damn expensive. I have no problem sitting in the nosebleeds (I actually prefer it) but some of the ones I’ve been interested in lately are $50+ for nosebleed seats. Multiply that times two, add the taxes and fees, add in

Plus, the Ticketmaster fees, stadium fees, breathing fees, etc. for two tickets work out to basically the equivalent of a third ticket. Which... they don’t really tell you until after you check out. At least, my mobile screen didn’t. I would have definitely bought cheaper seats had I known just how much I was dropping

Lord have mercy. May the child rest in peace. May there be some peace for his siblings and mama.
