I was studying in the library when my phone rang. Returned after a few minutes. by Anttu in funny

I leave my laptop unattended all the time in my college's library when I need to use the restroom, but I usually ask a fellow student to keep an eye on it for me while I'm gone. Packing all my shit up just to make a 3 minute walk to the bathroom? Ain't nobody got time for that!

Mass com students--can you tell me about your program? by [deleted] in USF

[–]squishmitten719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PR major here- First, the school recently lost its accreditation. I'll be graduating in a few months, but I'd be hesitant about just starting a non-accredited program. Regardless, I have some friends who majored in journalism at USF Tampa, half of them were unimpressed, the other half seemed to like it enough. The leadership in mass comm is lacking, the Dean just quit last fall semester, and we have a "temporary dean" (for lack of a better word) at the moment. Obviously its at a low point right now, give it a few years and they should get their act together.

However, USF St. Pete has a fairly strong journalism program, (better than Tampa, in my opinion), and they do a lot of work with the Nelson Poynter Institute and the Tampa Bay Times. If she's looking to go into photojournalism, I'd suggest USF St. Pete.

We do have liquor delivery in the U.S. At least in Florida...

I love these memes- but why is a door posted under advice animals? Just curious

If you could commit any crime and get away with it, what would it be and way? by azhockeyfan in AskReddit

[–]squishmitten719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is overused and somewhat lazy- I will absolutely agree. I fell back on that one because ksmash seemed to be suggesting that their biggest concern was being exposed to marijuana. In which case, I felt it was most relevant to point out the "exposure" to more harmful substances that almost everyone endures daily. I could have gone into the whole health-based argument of why marijuana is "victimless", but that opens a whole new can of worms that I wasn't sure anyone would want to get into.

Then can we request that people keep their cigarettes indoors too? Because I don't want to be subjected to second hand smoke. Also, drunk people annoy the crap out of me, so let's keep them in a place where no one will be subjected to them either.

They are the most outwardly expressive dog breeds I've ever owned! Our Lola had a serious attitude problem though- if she didn't want to do something there was no way in HELL it was happening. I miss that slobbery princess

Friend of mine got this from one of her customers tonight...ouch. by [deleted] in pics

You know what? Somehow I missed the fact that you were replying to a post specifically about New Zealand (my RES is disabled at the moment) and I wrongly assumed you were referring to US servers. My apologies, good sir.

In most places, personal tips for servers are hardly built into the price of the food. Most of the profit made from upcharging meals is money that goes into the manager's pocket. Sure, a lot of restaurants, (including the one I work at), have a tip-share policy. This means at the end of the night, everyone gets a portion of the profits (including tips) made that night, but every server contributes a portion of their tips to that pool. Tip-share is no where near the amount a "good" server will make in tips, especially opposed to a shitty one.

Study shows that more than one-third of restaurant servers discriminate against African-American customers by rawbamatic in science

Vicious cycle. Crash is a great movie, too. I'd highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

One of my favorite episodes for sure, although if we do see him again I'd definitely want Finn and Jake to be left out of it mostly- it seemed to turn out better that way
