Whenever I hear about “fun size” candy bars, I think of a quote from a stand-up comedian (whose name I can’t remember):

“What’s fun about less candy?”

He made a good point.

It may seem like no big deal to him, but he’s not the one risking prison. He could have settled this ahead of time, but simply chose not to. He’s an adult who is responsible for his own choices. You are definitely not wrong for refusing to help him.

“If the university won’t take itself seriously, I won’t take it seriously either.” Sounds fair to me.

So, how did it go?

I work at a retail store where we ask customers to give us some personal information. It genuinely does help as a proof-of-purchase if a customer wants to return something but has lost or forgotten their receipt. We can just look it up and handle their refund as usual.

However, I never push back if a customer simply doesn’t want to provide that information. I consider it a personal privacy issue. It’s completely reasonable for customers to be suspicious when data breaches happen every day. You are doing nothing wrong.

Trump is only pissed because the “misconduct” didn’t benefit him directly. Otherwise, this wouldn’t even be a story.

Fast food chains destroy food rather than donate it. People get fired for taking food home that’s “supposed” to be thrown away.

On an unrelated note, your avatar is awesome!

King has said he liked the film’s ending better than his own

 

I typically go with 20%, but that’s just a guess.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
