madcap commented on Ballard Taco Bell Workers Walk Out as Nationwide Fast Food Strike Hits Seattle.
I don't know about Taco Bell workers, but whatever Goldy's getting paid is too much to be butchering the English language with gems like this (emphasis mine):
Did you write this article on an iPhone?
Also, those Taco Bell employees should ask their minimum wage comrades in NY what they make per hour (it's $7.25, $5.50 for tipped employees).
"What we're getting right now isn't fare and not right," complains Durocher, who works an average of only 27 hours a week. "I would love to work more, but they keep us all just below full time so that we don't benefits."

Like @11 suggested, what if this guy is having pedophiliac urges?
Dan would surely have chamged his advice, which means his advice is bad (since the question is non-specific to cover homosexual urges, heterosexual urges, pedophiliac urges, bestial urges, etc.).
'Indulge your urges a little' only works for a range of urges.

madcap commented on New California Law Could Prohibit Protesters From Riding Public Transit.
The law only covers infractions in vehicles or at transit centers and stops.
So, maybe don't protest in vehicles or at transit stops in a way that anyway would make you an asshole to the people who just want to ride transit and not participate in your protests.

madcap commented on Star Trek Releases Deleted Scene of Benedict Cumberbatch Showering to Counter Claims of Sexism.
JJ Abrams killed off Vulcans for fuck's sake, who cares about some gratuitous underwear scene?
He wears it as a mark of pride that he never enjoyed Star Trek until he was making his own version of it.
Fuck him and his Star Warsy Star Trek action films.

madcap commented on Seattle Weekly Eliminates Restaurant Critic Position.
In other words, the new editor will either be situated in, or compiling stories written by those situated in, foreign countries where writers are cheap and their output is of a quality to match.
The editor will be responsible for ushering in a new, more robust weekly product that will feature criticism alongside features, columns and more experimental fare from some of Seattle’s savviest food writers. This editor will also be responsible for keeping readers abreast of trending topics and daily news on the Voracious blog, maintaining Seattle Weekly’s up-to-date and exhaustive online dining listings and planning our annual Restaurant Guide. And he or she will write about the city’s restaurants, be they new and noteworthy, longstanding and worth another look, or hidden in plain sight and waiting to be discovered.
In other words, the new editor will either be situated in, or compiling stories written by those situated in, foreign countries where writers are cheap and their output is of a quality to match.

madcap commented on Why I Oppose Sub-Area Equity for Sound Transit.
Why would millions of taxpayer dollars be "diverted" to outlying areas, if the money spent in those areas had to come from those areas in the first place?
Is there some other definition of the word "divert" of which I'm not aware?
...while also ensuring that hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars are not diverted to building light rail in outlying areas where population densities are insufficient to support strong ridership.

I'm really interested in what technology you imagine is in place that allows the NSA to record telephone conversations but only if they have an explicit FISC warrant.
But, yeah I'm sure their secret levels of oversight are sufficient and anyone who thinks otherwise is a traitor.
