Yeah I can't even get mad at the Pretty Princess type of Mary Sue, it's just how 13-year-old girls deal with being awkward and a bit pudgy and badly-dressed with a dorky haircut. It's charming really and they'll grow out of it  Back in the real world, purple eyes probably mean you're an albino which is nowhere near as fun and sexy as fiction makes it out to be.

TGIFYGM everyone Also, Jr. High School Friend on Facebook posted:So for those thinking that the rollout of obamacare won't affect them because they have health insurance offered through their work. ... So, you're company decided that instead of sacrificing profits or, god forbid, executive pay ... they cut employee benefits. 3% pay cut (via 401k) is fussy math because it seems what he is saying is that the company's contribution to his 401k is being cut by 3%, not his actual pay. His company is huge with a lot of government contracts. If their health insurance is this lovely, it sounds like they are trying to push their employees to buy their own coverage. But, of course, ITS THE GUBBERMENT'S FAULT! I may be oversensitive because this guy is convinced the NSA is spying on him even though no one would give a poo poo about him or his doings.

^^^^^^ You're kidding, right? I'm assuming so, with the "bro," but the Nazis were in no way socialist, though they did implement many of the same social safety net programs that other Western powers were beginning during the Great Depression.

I don't know if it's a company-wide policy, but a friend that works at a local Lowe's said that they cut every single non-salaried employee down to less than 25 hours a week after the newest round of reforms went into effect, and sent out a letter blaming the ACA for the cut in hours. Even before the newest reforms went into effect, he had been working full-time hours but had signed a waiver to not receive any full-time benefits such as more comprehensive insurance or any retirement benefits. The worst part is that he even bought into their bullshit rhetoric despite usually being an intelligent and politically aware person; I just told him that it wasn't the government's fault that Lowe's considered a couple hundred dollars a month in pay and benefits more valuable than the life of an employee they're pushing to remain in the company. My friend wants to go into academia, but the store manager has been telling him to be realistic and apply to an empty department manager position instead. As for the Idiot on Facebook, I've already defriended them so I don't have a screencap, but the first thing that popped up on my feed from a distance acquaintance that sent me a friend request recently was a link to David Duke's (KKK member that ran for president in '88) website. The preview text was, "34,000 white women raped by black men every year, 0 black women raped by white men ever." Preem Palver has a new favorite as of 16:32 on Nov 8, 2013 |

Smoremaster posted:But guys they were the National Socialist Workers' Party. Objectively, the worst thing the Nazis did was kill millions of people. But, in day-to-day life, the most consistently annoying thing they did was choose that loving name for themselves. It gives idiots a justification for calling anyone to the left of Pinochet a Nazi. An incredibly stupid justification that doesn't hold up to even slight scrutiny, mind you, but that doesn't stop them from doing it. Bertrand Hustle posted:It's really telling that the thing he has a problem with is the nebulous and spooky concept of "socialism" rather than the fact that there's a loving Neo-Nazi rally in his town. The funny part is that the counter-protest against said Neo-Nazi rally currently looks like it's going to be composed largely of socialists. Wish someone could point that out to him and watch his brain break.

We 'discovered' carbs about 65 million years ago, we've literally been eating them the entire time our line has been primates. We, as a species, really got into carbs in a big way about 12,000 years ago. All that heart disease stuff is like 50 years old for the majority of the population.

What I'm reading from this is that no human died until after carbs were discovered. All you sheeple need to wake up and realize that every major organization is just a shill in the crumb-filled pockets of big cereal! Why do you think the lo-carb diet thread was closed down, hmmmmmmmmmmm?
