Two things- tips should start at a baseline of 20%.  And never, ever answer a survey with anything negative.  It’s not worth it and all it’s going to do is cause undue stress to a person who most likely was doing the best they could with the bullshit, contradictory instructions their multiple supervisors gave them,…

Racism implies a systemic power dynamic.  The word you’re looking for is either bigotry or prejudice.  Racism is backed up by systems of power- cops, government, courts, etc - hence the term “systemic racism”.  Bigotry and prejudice are possible in minority populations but racism really isn’t if they don’t hold the…

Hopefully I’ll be ok since $180k is basically 4 times what I make anyway.  Also we should eat the rich.

M4A is Medicare For (4) All.  As far as what happens in Canada for ambulance rides, they basically just send you a bill later.  They’re not prescreening you for your ability to pay.  And it gets a bit more complicated because Canada’s system is a patchwork- some provinces offer for free what other provinces charge for…

Sure, because the last time I went to the emergency room I certainly didn’t have to wait 2.5 hours (and it wasn’t even that busy). And when I saw a neurologist, he certainly didn’t schedule me for 10AM and not see me until Noon.

They can certainly try, but there’s a funny thing about mass movements that the ruling class doesn’t want you to know- not only do they work, and work VERY well.  So they do their best to prevent us humans from relating to each other in any way, because you can’t stop a wave but a small stream can be easily diverted.

Putin got to work as soon as the USSR fell giving Russia away to his oligarch buddies.  He’s not and never really was a communist, he’s a right wing authoritarian.  Communism was the system he worked in as a KGB agent, but he was not a true communist (because that would mean he would support the proletariat owning the…

Zero Gravity in South Burlington is legit one of the best breweries in VT, and I’d also recommend Prohibition Pig (they have a very good restaurant too) and Hill Farmstead if you can make the trek.  And if you’re in SE Vermont and really like sours, Hermit Thrush in Brattleboro is worth the trip.

If you’re that worried about your palate as you dance between the beers in your flight just bring some unflavored seltzer, along with the 3 alarm wings or tacos you’re eating at the same time.

[To the tune of “do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants!”]

You’re going to die alone and unloved in a room filled with pizza boxes, crusty jizz socks and after you’re gone no one will mourn your passing.  

“His dad was the scary old guy in Twin Peaks.”

I’m just curious- do you have google alerts or custom searches set up to find new tomato references, or is this a research thing where you’re spending all this time tracking them down?  Your commitment is something else.

Elon Musk is basically Edison- someone who got ahead less on his own ingenuity and more on his sociopathic ability to steal work/ideas and take the credit.

What country?  And is it socialist or social democracy?  Socialism means the workers own the means of production, social democracy is heavily restricted and regulated capitalism.

“Socialism doesn’t work” says the daughter of a senator who helped the US government undermine and interfere in any country that dared have a socialist government for the last 40 years. Her war criminal dad supported trading weapons to Iran to raise money to fund the goddamn Contras. Fuck this family forever.

I guess I can’t sign you up for “abolish the constitution, abolish the senate, abolish the supreme court and every other form of oppressiono in this current government and start over with a stateless society” then. :/

As a fellow late 70's (76) baby and a dude, I’m gonna go ahead and say that most of us don’t in fact rule. Most of us voted for Trump, if my FB feed is an accurate barometer. Going to high school in the 90's meant being “rebellious” with zero ideology behind it, which is how you get 40 something chucklefucks saying…

Bear in mind that this whole campaign was orchestrated by Mike “it’s not rape if you don’t have to use force” Cernovich as a way of mobilizing his thousands of trolls.  Not excusing Gunn’s jokes in any way, but this was Disney not going to the root of the outrage to see if it was real, or a media play.
