Fuck Walgreens. Not to condone any other instance of violence that happened tonight, but seriously. Fuck that soulless piece of shit warehouse of garbage.

@3 It's "frosh", but I can't remember if that's both singular and plural.

You eat "bulk" pig, nutrient-devoid lettuce and half frozen bread every day? I'd rather be poor than that kind of frugal.

I GUESS I SHOULDA KNOWN THAT WHEN I WANTED TO SPECIALIZE IN ETHICS HURPDADURP. (now nobody else had to go there)

The more tuition costs go up, the less people take classes outside their majors (because you damn well better have a plan by the time you're 18, no extraneous education for you!) and less classes fill. The less people in classes, the more classes get cancelled, and the more classes get cancelled, the less likely it becomes that I get a living wage or health insurance. Yippee!

Mar 19 zobot commented on A $22 an Hour Minimum Wage.

I work as a barista for my second job, right down by Seattle center. The owners at my shop aren't really living high on the hog by any means, and they pay me minimum wage. Now, I would love love love to be able to make enough money as a barista/college instructor to not have to stress every month about bills and rent and food, and raising the minimum wage would help me enormously. However, I'm paid so little because that's all the owners can really afford without turning their enterprise into a co-op.

The normal arguments don't seem to work here either--it's not really all that likely that sales would go up considerably on coffee of all things if we all made more money. It's a rare person in LQA that makes a financial calculation about their 2nd or 3rd $4 latte that day. Even if sales increased about 10%, we're still not looking at the kind of money to support much of a pay raise for all 8 of us working there. Maybe we'd make better tips? Probably not much better though, since even as someone who relies on tip money for groceries, I think it's ridiculous to tip more than a buck and some change for a latte.

I don't know. Someone convince me that I'm wrong.

I'm really honestly confused. I expected to see double labial bulges or hair or something, but it's just a skater doing a high kick? Isn't that kinda what they do? Also, she looks so genuinely happy!

Why did this already turn into a discussion about Jolie's appearance rather than her industry chops?

Feb 21 zobot commented on Bar Sajor Opens This Evening, and Here's a Look at the Menu.

That tea sounds amazing. Good for headaches and cramps, I'll bet. No thank you to the $40 chicken though!

Feb 21 zobot commented on Why Don't More Theaters Offer Child Care?.

My god, do I agree (I don't have any, myself, but I know people who do!). The greatest barrier to this is probably finding and paying people who are licensed to be in a room with stranger's kids for an extended amount of time. When the theatre is already broke, this probably looks prohibitively expensive.
