I hate those memes because the people complaining don't seem to know what the duck minimum wage means. They somehow don't understand that they'd also get a raise, it's just that fast-food workers are the only ones protesting.

EMTs are glorified taxi drivers for the majority of their job, they should still be paid a livable wage. So should people who work at a coffee shop.

It's almost like the people at the lower tiers of income are not making enough money to sustain themselves while working full-time and the people at the higher tiers of income are making too much money and something should be done about that

The minimum wage increase is only for fast food workers. I -probably wrongly- assume the average PYF poster is literate.

Why do you think they're talking about that legislation, rather than SF/Seattle/etc? The post screencapped seems to be talking about a general minimum wage.

Yep, that article from september sure does reflect current minimum wage legislation passed in the past week.

I don't believe in "dating" or "being in a relationship" I believe in marriage. If you are with someone. You should be interested in building a life with them and moving forward and growing and having children if you want. If you're dating I feel like that's just a friendship where you just have sex and I think that's wasting time. So be single and sleep around. I mean oh well those are my beliefs. I'm curious on other people's views on dating. Marriage. Relationships. Sleeping around. Sex. Ect.

I just don't want voice acting. Link has a Canadian accent to me and I don't want that changed. Real talk though, it's more Nintendo and Voice acting don't mix (other M)

I'd think voice acting would just be every other character having a voice, and link still being (aside from all the yelling) silent.

Comparing deaths from malnutrition to deaths from GMOs is a really disingenuous non-sequitur even if the people commenting are dipshits, unless you are giving away these GM crops or their produce people dying from malnutrition are still gonna die cos they can't afford to pay for them in the first place. In the future GMOs might be useful for producing plants that can deal with a climate that's significantly changed but for the time being world hunger is a distribution issue and the problem is capitalism not food production; the idiots are ironically correct.

The thing that bothers me most about the mad about Zelda guy is that he has his name spelled Mårc for some bizarre reason. Probably because he thinks he's some kind of special snowflake but it just makes me pronounce it Morc in my head which sounds idiotic.
