Worked at a Borders in the 90s. We joked constantly about just sorting everything by size and colour.

I am in a special access program for psilocybin therapy. Huge pain in the ass and the drug costs $600 a dose. Not because the producer charges that. That’s the government tax on it.

This lady needs a visit from child welfare. That kid is almost certainly neglected and probably also abused.

The word is bootlicker. There are of course bad union leaders, and the cure is the same: organizing.

It’s been a joke for easily 30 years. It still is one.

Nice. Where was this?

Anyone initially read this as “orphan crushing”?

If you have civil and criminal causes of action, it’s often expedient to pursue the criminal one first, as it’s admissible as evidence in the civil case—the reverse isn’t usually true. I would be very surprised if there were not a settlement very soon, which unfortunately we will probably never hear about.

With the facts of the criminal case, I don’t think they would have any difficulty at all getting a legal team to go after EBay. It’s a risk/reward thing for them and the pockets they’d be going after are very deep.

Yup. In the car world “ricers” are specifically upgrading cars with purely cosmetic add-ons. They are stereotyped as using Asian cars and/or being Asian. The term should be strangled in the crib.

They need CRIMINAL FUCKING PENALTIES NOT (just) FUCKING FINES. Steal from your employer and you can go to jail. Why should it not be the same the other way around?

It shocks the conscience, but it’s far from shocking news.
