When you hated having to work with probably like 3-4 women so much you accidentally tank your whole professionA research scientist at a major university who voted for Trump:
- The pizza delivery guy was an employee of the pizza place, didn’t have to deliver things that cost $3 where people tip a quarter, was spending way less on gas because they combined several deliveries into one trip, and got to actually keep all of the tip you gave themdid people used to be like this about like. the pizza guy
- Can’t believe I forgot about my favorite New York electoral tradition where I get to “vote for any seven” judicial candidates and then there are exactly seven candidates who were picked by local corrupt party leaders in the back room of a lobster restaurant
- The cops killed a 16-year-old kid as part of an undercover sting operation, then arrested his girlfriend, Masonique, also 16. The county prosecutor charged her with murdering her boyfriend (the one the cops shot) under the felony murder rule and threatened to try her as an adultBREAKING: Masonique Saunders reaches plea deal to avoid being tried as an adult. She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. wosu.pm/2DZNv2a
- Still losing my mind that the Times captioned their photograph OF THIS EXACT ARREST with “The police said some in the crowd had shoved officers and refused to follow direction,” the levels of bootlicking these manage to ascend to each and every time man
- We got a lot of “I already voted for him” and “I’m going to vote for him” plus a woman told me about something of significance happening with Jupiter and cancer today and tomorrow and when I asked “is that good?” she said “oh it’s VERY good”
6-9 am canvassing shift with the sickos lfg - I actually remember being very explicitly told that this kind of money wasn’t a big deal at all when my student loan payments started being required again
- I need you to understand that if an alcoholic brings seltzer to your party it is not actually for everyonemy favorite thing about being an alcoholic is the ability to drink anything alcoholically…crazy eyed at 7am pounding a gallon of orange juice
- Omg a THREE-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING?!?!?! In Queens?!?!?!?! Can you IMAGINE?!?!?!sir you represent New York City
- Replying to @hboltonNo one is ever complaining about “the concept of food delivery” when they complain about these apps, literally never the point! Disabled people who need delivery should be able to get things, but that is not what DoorDash is for, it exists like all these apps do, to break labor!
- People using the phrase "promiscuous woman" with total sincerity in the name of feminism makes me want to jump off a bridge lolI had to look up the stats to see if almost every Oscar given to the lead actress played a prostitute/promiscuous woman and omgg it’s true
- Replying to @hboltonAnyway pizza delivery guy was still a shitty job because the tipped wage system is shitty, but pretending like it’s the same as DoorDash is fucking ridiculous, it is not!
- Everyone pray that the people who actually work at the Dallas Zoo find this leopard before a Dallas cop shoots itReplying to @DallasZooDallas PD is onsite assisting with the search efforts. The Zoo is closed today as our teams work to find and recover the animal. Given the nature of these animals, we believe the animal is still on grounds and hiding. We will share updates and more information as soon as we can.
