  1. It is shocking that he has not been caught yet but I am guessing that he had this well planned out so maybe he had a great getaway plan.
  2. Of course! It was smart by him! The best self marketing you can do is be a super hot girl or piss people off that hate your point of view! it’s why rock N roll made it so big!!! It pissed off parents so kids flocked to it!
  3. See, zero confusion when you do it the right way. He just wanted confusion though, again, I don't blame him for wanting clicks.
  4. I think that is the issue, right? I mean, if anyone at all thinks it looks/sounds/smells like celebrating or looking at it as a positive, that is the problem. Dude could have totally just said "What happend to the CEO if f#&%ing horrible and I hope the dude that killed him is hunted down and executed, like all killers should be. I also feel so bad for people that pay their insurance and get denied coverage". How is that hard? Nothing there to overthink, right? But he clearly and carefully picked his words and he picked them for a reason. I don't blame him at all, it got him clicks and probably followers. Good for him. But he knew what he was doing.
  5. Got it! I think to make things simple you just have to realize that we are all hypocrites. When you start from there, the rest is easy. I know others will think it sounds insane but a tiered system makes the most sense. Someone that is their own dependent SHOULD get more. 16 year old Timmy that lives at home with him parents doesn't need 25 to 30 an hour. But 25 year old Tim, who works to provide for himself and works at a Target SHOULD start at 25 an hour. The benefits part is also a good idea, I did not think about that.
  6. Well it really depends on what you think "celebrating" is, right? Unless there is just one method of celebrating.
  7. Yeah, I get what you are saying. I think when you are callous and dismissive of someone being killed that you didn't "like" it is kind of being positive or celebrating. In the end it doesn't matter, the guy is dead and that tweet could have done without the first part.
  8. I gotta be honest, I have no idea what strawman means, seems like something people say when they said something dumb. Now, with that said, you corrected yourself about the money thing, so that is good. Anyway, aren't wages higher than ever right now? What would you like minimum to be set at? Do you have a # in mind? I personally think that there should be TWO minimum wages. 1. You are a teen, you live at home, your parents basically provide for everything and you have your typical part time gig for some extra cash. 15-20 dollars an hour, period. 2. You are on your own, you don't have anyone helping you, regardless of your age. 25-30 dollars an hour with 0% tax paid on 25% of your paycheck.
  9. The only thing that has changed is being allowed to transfer. Everything else was in place before we just didn't "know" about it, wink wink. The Boz got paid 20 dollars an hour to watch an oil field. Also, he did not have to show up. Husker players drove around in "borrowed" cars from Lincoln car dealerships. Players lived in off-campus housing where the rent was 0 AND they got a housing stipend. Boosters gave players cash all the time. The only big difference is that players can move freely now.
  10. I feel like me and you are the only people that post like normal humans.
  11. With the exception of him saying "I am celebrating his death", it is pretty clear that he is, at the very least, using the death as a positive/celebration type tweet.
  12. Is your social safety net that people CAN'T make a lot of money? That there should be some sort of cap on how much a person can make? Or do you mean more that the net should be at the "bottom" so that people, all people, make/earn some sort of wage that will help them live a comfortable life?
  13. Was it you, acting like you don't know what "working harder" means and then also posting that you don't want more money and then when you were called out on it, you kind of got upset because you do in fact want more money and you do know what working harder means? Just post what you really mean. You know you want more money. We all do. You totally know what working harder means, we all do. Just make it easy. With that said, you would only be a hypocrite if you accepted the raise, not if you were offered a raise.
  14. You said you don't want more money. Right?
  15. While I get what you are saying, I think you are using the word "harder" more literally. It is like saying "knowledge is power", which I tell my students all the time. Then I tell them that "power can mean many different things, like it can mean opportunity, the more knowledge you have the more doors will open up for you" Working "harder" does not ONLY mean putting in more hours or physically straining yourself while at work. It can mean many different things. Now, I totally agree that digging ditches or pouring concrete is physically harder work...compared to say, being a doctor or lawyer. I have a friend that makes good money and has a lot of education, his father in law had no education and worked "hard" to make a lot of money but his father in law could not write a paper, which is also "hard" work. Also, if you do not want more money you should be sure to turn down any raises and/or bonuses...you don't want to end up being a hypocrite, right?
  16. And...SOUN and SOUNW have gone insane as they are finally using their software to order...Torchy's Tacos.
  17. Okay, so I have watched that shooting video like 5 times now and the more I watch it, it sort of seems like an accident. I mean, I am not a detective or anything but... Anyone else get that vibe?
  18. Please don't say that judges might be corrupt. This is why the stupid "stolen election" nonesense is still around.
  19. Yeah, Memphis also smoked Uconn this year. It is CBB.
  20. The crypto bros are something else. I have done little bits (no pun) here and there, like 200 dollars or so but that is it.
