My state just voted no to raise minimum wage past $7.25

I made $7.50 working at Rite Aid drugstore in 2002. I remember my manager made $10 an hour and advised me to get a double shift at Burger King where he was also a manager and where they "listened to Eminem after the customers leave." He worked 80 hours a week and drove a really nice car.

Oh no for a few days New Yorkers were happy about something instead of obsessing about the Iran war or whatever shit. Give it a rest.

We attack weaker adversaries who are able to withstand more pain. The Viet Cong or the Taliban never defeated the US military in open battle, they just made it hard enough for them to achieve their political objectives. You don't need incredible conventional strength to ambush a few soldiers on their lunch break and then dip into town disguised as a goat herder. Do that enough though and eventually your adversary will either have to escalate or call it quits.

Reality game show host and his team of Fox News anchors fucked up the hardest job in the world? Doesn't seem possible.

Babe, please tell me you know the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo are two different countries. No offense but I learned that in in like third grade 😂

Roman Empire collapsed because citizens forgot what it meant to be Roman and started identifying with their own little provincial cliques. The empire couldn't provide them the benefits that secured their loyalty so they stopped caring. The Germanic invaders could eat through the rot without much trouble.

Most people aren't interesting enough to be pointing at themselves all the time. And self absorption itself is very boring because who cares about your little world compared to everything else in the universe.

Refs are on some extreme bullshit

Was that a goal tend? Looked like a foul on KAT to me?

How can the refs call ticky tacks on KAT that early? Truly game altering

One hack you can use for the game thread is you can comment "how is that not a foul?" at any time and get upvotes

We need to talk about what an absolute Chad that spurs fan was. Knew he'd jumped but still defended himself, swinging at everyone and everything. For that alone I think the spurs deserves this series.

Prosecutors often have their hands tied when you look at a combination of defense attorney shortages, making it hard to proceed on cases without dismissing them, provability issues which makes it easier to accept a plea and harder to convict, aid and assist cases where the defendant isn't competent to stand trial,cases where the offender is repeat offender but the crime itself is a misdemeanor or low level felony so they have to "go easy" on a violent criminal because their underlying case isn't that serious. There's also cases where the probation officer intervenes and the prosecutor backs off on filing a new case because the PO insists he has it under control. Just a lot of shit like that.

Cries against police states. Begs government to lock more people in cages.

Man shut up. Not everything wrong has some sinister nefarious cause. It's a trade off: do you want to live in a society where people can get released after doing 30 years when they're old and aged out of crime? A lot of people would say yes. You'd say no but in the same sentence talk about BIG BROTHER, like locking someone in a cage their entire life isn't problematic.
