The Kardashians are famous for being famous. They got a TV show because one of them had sex on camera.

Kanye's legitimately talented though.

I mean, other than being smug and overreactive, this was posted by a girl who I would describe as "probably literate" and so it seems a little superior to literally suggest suicide to people who probably forgot some periodic elements because eighth grade was a long time ago and also who gives a poo poo. I also just realized that this is just congratulating oneself for being able to memorize something, which is something monkeys can do.

Also, can someone please explain to me why Kanye West/The Kardashians are always the go-to when people want to lord their basic intelligence over other people?

You are getting very upset about a joke twitter.

My news feed is blowing up with a Fox article about a black man who was pulled over in Tucson, reported his conceal carry, didn't get shot, then rants on Facebook about how maybe all cops are good if you aren't some ignorant fool.

How the gently caress is "black guy pulled over, not shot by police" news?

This could easily just be Australian and it's super topical here at the moment because the government are starting to push hard for a massive pay cut for people in hospitality because 'society has changed and weekends don't mean much these days'.

I'll support their proposed cuts once the pollies start attending parliament on weekends (or more than three days a month, really).

I obviously know nothing about Australia - how does the government push for lower wages? Was there a differential that people got by law for working weekends or does the parliament set actual wages in the private sector?

Presumably the latter, government can dictate minimum wages for various types of work, what counts as overtime and what doesn't, poo poo like that. If a specific company wanted to continue paying more or providing better benefits than they were legally required there'd be nothing to stop them, but most private companies aren't gonna do that for low level employees (hence the existence of those laws in the first place)

The government sets the minimum wage that you must pay staff and mandate shift loading for outside of normal hours type work. At the moment you get double your base rate if you work Sunday (150% Saturday) and they're trying to strip that Sunday loading away because 'lol, no one goes to church anymore'. But only for hospitality workers, aka the ones who have the least ability to defend themselves.

It's allegedly because it is hampering hospitality growth (which just happens to be one of the strongest sectors of the economy) but it's really because what will happen is that supermarket staff will get paid less and the supermarket chains are big party downers (meant to write donors here but the typo fits).

I still believe that Snoop Doggy Dogg is allowed to believe that it's weird for someone to ask him to sign their titty mousepad.

Knowing they exist is one thing, but getting asked to sign a mousepad of all things is an odd choice.

Awesome. Australia should totally become more like the United States. That'll show their economy that hasn't had a recession in 25 years. Now to just whittle down that pesky minimum wage of theirs.

Anime fans are NUTS. During SDCC, Marvel had an stream where they'd have guests on and people on twitter could ask them questions, and someone was spamming "do you watch anime???" over and over. It to to a point where their head of Social Media had to say "stop asking this question" on the stream.

If you watch Twitch streamers, and God help you pay attention to the chat, that's the most common question next to "Do you play (my favorite game)?" Anime fans really can't stand not talking about anime in any public setting for more than a few minutes, even if it's not relevant to anything going on.

Yep. I like anime, not as much as I used to though, but I still watch stuff if I hear its good or whatnot. But like Doctor Who i never talk about it because that always end up talking to someone who's way to into it.
