The in universe logic is one of many issues that Stranger Things will have to deal with. I’m guessing they’ll also have to deal with all the people who can’t remember which season was the last one, what happened, and whether they even watched it. 

I’m enjoying the new season, a bit bummed we didn’t get a Noble Team easter egg during all the Reach shenanigans though, oh well. 

apparently there are two more Kingsman sequels on the way??

This is starting to sound a bit like the M Night superhero string of movies. Or, since it’s back in the zeitgeist, those Starship Trooper sequels.

It really, really, really feels like the cultural moment for this property, both as a comic and a film, passed a long time ago. It’s a super weird choice. If he wanted to remake a film based on a Mark Millar comic, he could have taken on Wanted and make something remotely related to that book instead of the absolute…

Wendy’s seems not to realize that consistency is an important reason people buy fast food from a recognizable brand. Consistency in food quality (ideally good, but even consistently not-terrible), sure. Also price, having the feeling you’re not being jerked around or getting ripped off.

yeah, as Bill Harris put it online:

Do I need to watch Gen V to follow season 4, or is being up to date on the show itself enough?

A calling is not a job.

how many changes is this been since they announced it? 25-50, i dunno anymore? they need to just shelve it.

Contingency fee work is always a balance between the likelihood of success, the amount of recovery if it is successful, and the costs (both out of pocket and opportunity costs) of the lawsuit itself. Fun fact, this is why “tort reform” advocates are always trying to put caps on damages. It’s not that they really…

Looking at the actual complaint papers, it looks like he filed a pro se lawsuit and then the lawyers jumped in later on. And yes, it should be a hard sell, because the slim odds of getting any money out of this (much less the full amount of the jackpot) are not likely to be worth fronting all of the litigation costs…

1/3rd is the low end - that’s what you get (or at least when I did my summer work at a PI litigation firm) from a settlement if you don’t have to file suit.  If you actually file and have to start doing work it goes up and then if it goes to trial it goes up even more, usually to about 50% (plus expenses, and law…

To me that says the guy saw the posting and went and bought a ticket with those numbers. 

You’ve clearly never worked retail or customer service in your life.

We’re not jumping to conclusions because we’ve worked these shitty jobs. Your white collar ass can trust that him showing up and harassing employees was good for no one but him.

This presupposes the store manager is given enough employee hours to staff all the needs of the store, which is never the case. There is always a long list of things that need to be done and not enough staff to do it and that’s neither the store manager’s fault and definitely not the employees’ fault.  

It sucks being told by your boss that you are not working hard enough.
It sucks even more to be told that you are not working hard enough by someone who is not your boss.
It sucks more than both of those to be told by a rich celebrity that you are not working hard enough to personally make them more money.

I’m a human being who has worked retail, any moment you’re there you’re some level of annoyed and especially so when some self-important dickhead shows up to fuck up whatever you were in the middle of.

Every single person he annoyed had something better to do than help him make more money.  Fuck this guy.
