That's true, although the waitstaff as Yasuda probably weren't the ones we need to worry about making a living wage.

So the say that, but the reason actually has to do with Yasuda's annoyance with a lawsuit brought against him by his employees regarding tip sharing procedures. Eventually he just say "Fuck it, none of y'all get tips."

We'd all (as consumers) love a world with no tipping,. But any restaurant that makes this shift will face much higher costs, and probably won't be able to capture the full price increase without loss of business, unless they're a high-end place. Any restaurant that makes the move is probably worse off unless they…

The court system is not designed to get at truth. It just isn't. It is aimed at truth beyond doubt, which is an entirely different standard.

Courts aren't meant to replace our evaluative faculties. They don't answer the question of whether someone, to the best of our reasoning abilities, committed an action. They never have, that's not what they're designed to do. They're designed to say "Are we so absolutely sure that he or she did it that we are…

OK, but why should I care? You say this repeatedly as if it is the end all be all concerning what occurred, but seeing as Brown is not a court of law and they are not sentencing him to jail, why do I care about criminal convictions w.r.t. whether he should or should not be allowed to attend, or how I speak about it? …

Or maybe you just want to get paid. Which, hey, we all have our hustle, I'm not objecting really. But if you're dating an extremely wealthy 80 year old (!) man widely renown for his decades of racist behavior, I'm not inclined to assume ignorance or benevolence.

Totally true to an extent, but you're kinda taking this a bit far. This argument can be made about almost anything.

If you date Donald Sterling in 2014, you know exactly what you're doing. He's always been like this.

Well, the NFL didn't HAVE to punish Pryor. They chose to.

Is there any reason to believe anyone was actually harmed here? Any proof there was an actual medal shortage?

I dunno. She doesn't look that little.

The university doesn't obtain financial benefit from them, though.

Someone's been listening to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse a few too many times.

This is downplaying it?

Bra-fucking-vo, sir. The responses demonstrate just perfect execution.

No, but I think you might misunderstand me. I'm just saying the reason that think they can do whatever we want is because generally we let them do whatever they want. They think they can get away with it because they do get away with it.

Why in your opinion does it not fit?

Yeah but all those teams were pretty good. It seems kinda unfair to accuse anyone of underachieving because they lost to Pop, and that Memphis squad was a quality, well-coached team (admittedly, four in a row is a bad look but it's my opinion that no one really remembers the number of games outside of NBA Finals).

If he had played all year and in similar minutes, I think he would be in this discussion with the two of them. You gotta show up in order to win, and he missed a lot of games (and a lot of minutes within those games, comparatively speaking).
