My cat fished out one of my mom's used pads from the trash and was playing with it under our dining room table while we had guests over. After giving away all her kittens, that cat used to hoard socks, lick and purr and play with them as substitutes for her missing kittens. :smith: I guess that night she decided a used pad was one of her kittens too.

15/hr will raise consumer prices a correlating amount. It will do nothing to create a "living wage" (an outrageous concept to begin with) except for the very short term.

My face match your avatar's when I got to the "an outrageous concept to begin with" part. Maybe all of his "well paid work" was declined because he's a gigantic rear end in a top hat. Or because his idea of well paid is a bowl of porridge. You only get a side of water if he feels you went above and beyond.

“Why are fast food workers going on strike. Go to school & get a degree so you can have a real job and make that much money! #FastFoodStrike”



"If you strike fast food for more pay your stupid lol it’s a beginners job why tf would you get paid 15$ a hour?"



"The fact that fast food workers are on strike internationally for a union and $15/hr wage is stupid. Get a real loving job."

If you fail in high school, you fail in life. Shouldn't have smoked all that meth. Bring in the firing squad. We're having your family killed. This is what all of this sounds like to me. There's so much talk of being "anti-entitlement" and yet they all sound like self-entitled sociopaths.

I got like all D's and E's in High school. Once I was out of High School I was making like 30k a year after about a year. This just continued to go up until oh about 2008 when I lost my then current job at about 48k a year. I now make less than 12k a year, and I'm loving grateful for it. Grateful for anything really. And I wish I got all my taxes back. I got 400 bucks for my federal returns.

And it's funny because I never once did drugs in high school. But during that stint of not horribly paying jobs? EVERYONE I knew did drugs. Now that I'm poor again, don't know anyone who does em because at 12k a year you just can't loving afford the stuff.

I'll skip to the punchline.
It's because you: didn't get one of the "good degrees" / didn't get the right internship / didn't do enough networking / don't have a linkedin account / should join my pyramid scheme business selling soap / are too picky about jobs / don't want it bad enough / should go work on an oil rig instead.

So this is maybe the opposite of idiots on social media, but this is the best Facebook page: Bodybuilders Against Tipping

A few recent posts:





I guess the real idiots are the people who follow the page and actually leave zero tips and write "#BodybuildersAgainstTipping" on the receipts, but I'm going to assume those aren't real...

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I'm against the tipping of bodybuilders, too. They're so top-heavy from all those benches they've pressed, their centre of gravity is all hosed up. It's unfair, to leave them flopping on the ground like a turtle :smith:

Yeah that just screams "poo poo that didn't happen made-up persona." It just reads like somebody screaming for attention by being all "oh yeah I buy and sell houses, I totally flip those things, because I'm such a good real estate agent. I have a miata and expensive poo poo oh yeah gurl you want this."

Of course it's also pathetic if it is true. Lord knows if I was a woman I'd be all over a self-absorbed poo poo head like that any day.

Actually, isn't more or less the opposite a piece of common dating advice? As in, watch how somebody treats waitstaff. Chances are they're worse to people they're in relationships with. Of course I also formerly served so my opinion is a touch biased.

The worst was when I lived in a party house with a few friends when I was in the Air Force. We had people over nearly every weekend and since we hardly ever emptied the bathroom trash cans, they tended to get rather full. One day my roommate and I came home from work, walked up the stairs only to find the ground covered in used shredded pads and a tampon that the dog had managed to pull out of the trash. The remains of several pads were scattered all over...so disgusting. We learned to keep the doors closed after that.

I live in the bible belt, and the amount of people who have posted this with some variation of "makes you think" or "pray for our nation" is just staggering. Also, if I never have to see this loving Matt Walsh blog again I'll be happy: http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/05/12/homophobic-rant-michael-sam/2/#wDeouDeEDSFm7S2C.01

quote:

Liberal blogs made much ado about the few random Tweets they could find from people expressing disgust about Sam kissing his boyfriend. What these instigators won’t mention is that, in order to get to the ‘bad people,’ they had to wade through thousands of Twitter users falling over themselves in a competition to see who could use the most glowing adjectives to describe watching two men smooch on Sportscenter.
There’s nothing brave about any of this. You can’t measure a man’s bravery by his ability to endure high-fives and congratulations from millions of fawning fans.
And heroic?
To call this heroic is to obliterate the meaning of the word. I’m sure Sam will hear some taunts and jeers, but the people taunting and jeering will be swiftly and immediately punished. He also won’t encounter anywhere near the level of accepted mockery and derision that another well known football player faced...

"a few random tweets" ah yes, that's definitely what those drat gays are complaining about, not literal institutionalized discrimination and decades of fear-forced invisibility. The tweets, those liberals!

Also, this guy's description of himself is just the turd cherry on the poo poo sundae: "Matt Walsh is a blogger, writer, and professional sayer of truths."

Today he posts a pictures of an ultrasound, turns out he's having a girl. :suicide:
