When a woman named Anna worked at a Midwest outpost of Smokey Bones — a chain restaurant that requires women servers to wear low-cut T-shirts, preferably with makeup and longer hair — she often saw “comments on boobs — nice boobs,” she said.

cave diving is really dangerous, and even experienced divers can just straight up die. musk simply doesn't know what he's talking about, as demonstrated by his macgyver bullshit, yet the media is treating both as equally relevant, when they're not.

Yeah it's incredibility dangerous since it's very easy to get disoriented and also lose visibility due to silt getting kicked up.

About the fascist clothing ad, 9/11 basically showed it doesn't take a lot to make white boomers start braying about nuking the browns and it's been a hell of a historical trajectory to grow up through

Congratulations, Amazon, you've invented the Automat. A big fancy invention from 1895.

That's the most disappointing part about this dystopian cyberpunk future, so many of the crazy sci fi innovations are just really really old ideas. The biggest of which being the steady slide towards feudalism.

When I first watched Dark City I didn't realize that a Automat was a real retro invention.

I thought it was just something they created for the bleak dystopian world shown in the film.

Americans paying a premium to receive extremely poor customer service for the sheer novelty of it. That's some late stage capitalism right there. :911:
There's a sequence of events that needs to be dramatized. I don't know if you could get an entire documentary out of that, but it'd be good for at least a 1 hour comedy special.

There's also the Weiner Circle

Also Chicago gets bonus points for chasing Trump and his Chud supporters out of town.

Chicago will not let up on Donald Trump.

His billboards get vandalized in days, the University of Illinois is in an uproar over his speaking engagement and now the Wiener's Circle, one of Chicago's best hot dog stands, is offering Trump his very own special menu item—a 3-inch hot dog called the "Trump footlong," RedEye reports.

Were there a lot of US vets working at your facility?

Yes, it’s a pretty typical thing for Amazon. It’s easy for Amazon to hire us because they know vets are willing to shut up and cooperate. In my opinion, Amazon is preying on the work-life balance issue that the military has, and feeds off the rigid order the Army teaches. The military is known for being a bastion of sexism, but I had a worse experience at Amazon. It’s way more cutthroat.
