Their Pay Goes Down, And Then Goes Up Again…

This is nice, but why is the pay bump only a temporary one? If we’re going to sit here and call these people heroes and crow about the important work they’re doing, should we not pay them as though we mean it? And is that not especially true now that we know that life being …

They Should Have Charged Her With Disturbing The Piece

If Fatos Cala really did say racist things to this woman, then perhaps he deserved the pizza to the dome. But what incentive would there be for him to do that if somebody wasn’t starting trouble first and causing him to lose his damn mind? I’d love to know how politely this interaction began. Responding …

There Are No Rules About Mental Distancing. Stop That!

I have been feeling anxious when out walking because I never feel like I can keep the six feet of distance. This is not helped by Shmans’s tendency to kind of buzz people as they go by. Sometimes she just scoots past them, and sometimes she has sniffed people in a moment of weakness. Either …

How Well Do Drunken Noodles Go With Egg Rolls

Now this, this is a proper food feud. Cops charge that Keith Johnson, 44, showed up at the victim’s Milton home around 8 PM Monday and began ringing the doorbell. The 60-year-old woman told cops that Johnson was intoxicated and that she “did not want him in her house.” The victim, who has dated Johnson …

You First, Mr. President

Perhaps I’m being unreasonable and setting my standards impossibly high here, but I’m having a tough time talking myself out of the position that please do not ingest or inject disinfectants into your body for any reason is a thing we should have to tell most people, especially when one of those people is the …

Am I An Even Bigger Asshole Than I Thought?

Are you a 5-star customer? Restaurant employees judge patrons too Most of what’s here shouldn’t be earth shattering information unless you’re a malignant dink, but one line did catch my eye. “In fast-food restaurants, not leaving a tip is at the top of the list of worst behaviors,” it says. So…um…we’re supposed to tip at …

You Not Deserving A Ticket Doesn’t Mean That Nobody Else Does

Civil Liberties group seeks amnesty for bylaw tickets issued during COVID-19 I agree with their argument up to a point. When they say that we can’t police our way out of a pandemic, they’re not wrong. At least not entirely. What they should be saying is that we shouldn’t be trying to zero tolerance our …

Worker Indignity, The Game

Perfect soundtrack! If Amazon thinks that this makes them come off well, they are wrong. Amazon turns warehouse tasks into video games to make work ‘fun’ So what we’re gonna do, see, is we’re gonna take your crappy warehouse job and we’re gonna turn it into a video game so that you’ll think you’re playing …

You’re Not Helping, Guys

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5bgxkl33G/ For the most part I’m pretty happy with how Justin Trudeau has handled things during the pandemic. He and the rest of the Liberals have a job I neither envy nor want. But that said, I must ask a quick question. If I’m not allowed to go out and see my family just because …
