When you're being mean to me, this is who you're being mean to.

If I cure cancer I will get very rich. And a bunch of people on this site will apparently find my sudden wealth outrageous.

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store."

The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. For everyone saying โit's not meant to be that,โ yes, it is.
That's why it's called the minimum wage.

Overhearing my family talk about world politics is like overhearing kids talk about what they think sex is.

A five minute walk from my house, in the old Haffenreffer Brewery complex here in JP. Shoutout to The Haven, the Scottish restaurant and bar in the complex that sponsored the event.

We need an annual event whose only job is to fill Boston with Scots. Unclear what it is. But Scotland just won, the whole cityโs singing, and this canโt be a once-every-28-years thing.

And as much as I like the Scottish folks who've been inundating the neighborhood recently (they really are quite a cheerful lot!), I was really pulling for the Haitian team, because of course I am.

Rather than reputing individual false, bad-faith assertions, it just easier to to assume every word from a capitalist's mouth is a lie.

India has one point of leverage over the US, where it can really hit it where it hurts - India's most valuable export: it's talent.
Indians are by far the most successful and wealthiest diaspora community in the US. Nobody else even comes close. If somehow India decides to weaponize this emigration, and threaten to reduce or restrict it even slightly (you don't even need to carry out the threats) - it won't be surprising if the US suddenly becomes agreeable and starts talking like a responsible adult.
And as a (significant) bonus, India will get to retain more of its talent.
Alas, the very idea is unthinkable. If even the slightest attempt is made to control or even manage Indian emigration to the US in India's national interests - the loudest opposition will come from Indians themselves.

So THIS is what you're mad about?
Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon โ soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state โ to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincolnโs statue like theyโre celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID. And everyone else should be too.

Fan sneaked tequila into the stadium in a flask disguised as a mobile. Mexicans are light years ahead of us.

WANT! (but sadly don't have the room.)
Serious question: Is this kitty home something people would buy? Like, if I built them would people actually purchase them?
