Before you start ranting about the minimum wage being to low and want it to be $15.
This should be funny but it’s too true to laugh at. Raising the minimum wage will destroy low wage employment (AKA entry level jobs).
Okay no that is absolutely not true?!
By raising the minimum wage you ensure that people can actually, you know, BUY THINGS and SUPPORT THE ECONOMY?
Okay I am literally too tired of this horseshit. You know how much McDonalds would have to raise their prices in order to actually pay a REASONABLE minimum wage?
A nickle. And not even on ALL of their food items- just SOME of them.
You assholes trying to keep the poor from trying to improve their situation make me fucking sick. Do you even KNOW HOW FUCKING CAPITALISM WORKS?
YOU PAY PEOPLE PROFIT FOR THEIR WORK SO THEY CAN BUY MORE THINGS AND PAY OTHERS PROFIT FOR THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES AND ITS A GODDAMN CYCLE. YOU DONT KEEP PEOPLE BARELY PAID ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FEED OR CLOTHE OR HOUSE THEMSELVES BECAUSE THAT KILLS THE GODDAMN ECONOMY.
THE WORKING FORCE IS WHAT POWERS THE ECONOMY
NOT CORPORATE SHITFUCKS TRYING TO BRING US BACK TO 1800’S WORK CONDITIONS
THANK YOU AND GOOD FUCKING NIGHT.
Tumblr user artiestroke lays down the law
Also the touchscreen kiosks that McDonald’s Europe ordered back in 2011 shown in the picture were ordered to speed up taking orders so their paid employees could focus more on filling those orders, not as a method of replacing minimum wage workers
As a matter of fact, they projected back in 2011 that this would result in an INCREASE in jobs
So yeah dommypls and americas-liberty, learn economics.
And some fucking empathy for other people besides yourselves. Fuck you for thinking that having to pay a little extra for a cheeseburger is more important than someone being able to live off their wages.
Also,how do you expect people to be able to pay both their college debts AND everyday living bills on $7 an hour? In the area I live in, you can’t even live comfortably on $15 an hour on your own, let alone pay for that and college so you can get anywhere in life. The point of minimum wage jobs is so you have somewhere to get you started while you look into getting the kind of job you want. And $7 an hour isn’t going to get you anywhere, especially if the career you want to get into requires you to move away from the people you know to continue your education for it.
And no, we shouldn’t have to work multiple jobs to pay both for college and living expenses. There’s no time for anything working multiple jobs. No time to sleep if you expect to still do well in college, no time to do anything but work if you aren’t in college. We shouldn’t have to overwork and sleep deprive ourselves to get anywhere in life.
And as stated above, raising the minimum wage for big corporate places that can afford it will help the economy. A lot.

Whenever a new generation of changelings is born, the queen makes sure to check the newly-laid eggs as often as possible. Since the entire hive is descended from her genetic code, any genetic mutation, virus or biological agent would spread with incredible speed and possibly result in fatal consequences for the hive. Any abnormalities are therefore promptly ejected from it.
Headcanon accepted
This is exactly why I make all changeling queens in Papi’s canon polyamorous.

The benefit of having a completed Pokedex, and no life, is that I find it fun and satisfying to breed Pokemon for people. If there’s a Pokemon you need, or if you want egg moves, or certain hidden abilities, I’m always happy to help.

I have been having issues lately with seeing Nightmare Celestia as an OC compared to how I see her as Celestia herself. So my question to you is this: Is Papillon still Fleur or is she an OC? What determines that she is Fleur? When exactly is Fleur not Fleur?
It really depends on what you consider an OC. In the case of Solar Flare, I would consider her a pseudo-OC for a few reasons, namely that the design is original and not taken from the show, and that the characterization is original, even if inspired by the show. If you consider her Celestia still, then she is as you openly acknowledge that Solar Flare is a potential outcome for a well established character, but without that background she can and likely is considered an OC.
Papillon is much the same, but slightly different. While I did base the design off of Fleur de Lis, the character had been featured so sparingly in the show, and with so little input or support that I had to put a lot more into her character. If you look around, my version of Fleur is so vastly different from the generally accepted ideas that there are many who thought that she was my OC to begin with. As for Papi, she was originally Fleur but she was my Fleur and not anyone else’s, and she has come to be much more than simply a changeling Fleur.
If you consider your Solar Flare to be an offshoot of canon Celestia instead of an OC, then continue to call her such, and defend it. If you feel that Solar Flare has drifted so far from a canon representation to have broken from it, as I often feel with Papi, then taking offense at someone calling her an OC shouldn’t get to you. -
US students will be able to shield themselves during school shootings with the latest in body armour, the Bodyguard Blanket
http://goo.gl/WwvECTAre fucking kidding me? I have been sitting at home and constantly watching the news after the events of yesterday. For those of you who are wondering, I am a junior at REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL! I was there when the shooter kept running in the halls trying to open the doors and get in. I was there in the dark praying and crying while my librarian kept saying ” they’ll have to kill me before they touch my kids” I have known her for three years, her determination to keep us safe broke her heart. Seeing this, that little children need protection in school. Are we sending kids to a battlefield? I have three little brothers ranging from 5-10, and still people have the nerve to speak about the second amendment? Really? I can’t even type anymore. I’m so disgusted and frustrated. When will you realize that it’s important to have gun control? When a shooter is pointing a gun at your child? Is that when you’ll realize that guns aren’t something to be kept around. People say it’s a free country but honesty, this country is more oppressed and diseased than any other country.
Show me ONE instance where gun control and gun free zones prevented school shootings.
Let me tell you guys a story.
In 1996, in a little town in Australia called Port Arthur, a gunman killed 35 and injured 23. This place was a tourist attraction, with plenty of visitors and locals going about their business.
35 people died.That’s 35 marriages, anniversaries, birthdays or uni degrees. 35 people left Port Arthur in body bags.
At the time, we had a pretty conservative government, and the Prime Minister at the time (in hindsight) was kind of a dick. But within two weeks of the shooting, Howard instituted a massive reform and buyback of all firearms.But it must be a statistical flaw, you say, there weren’t that many massacres before 1996, right? No, WRONG.
In the eighteen years leading up to Port Arthur, there had been 13 mass shootings.But April, you ask, this couldn’t possibly have worked could it? Wouldn’t it only have reduced the mass shootings? WRONG.
Since 1996, there have been ZERO mass shootings. That’s right, ZERO. FUCKING ZILCH. There have been scattered homicides, however:How many schools have been raided and children murdered? NONE.
How many film buffs have been murdered in their seats? NONE.
How many innocent lives have been lost to the barrel of a gun? NONE.On top of this, homicides involving the use of guns, and youth suicide involving the use of guns has declined dramatically, by up to 60%
Australia, however much the environment tries to kill you, is a safe haven, and you can walk the streets with 99% assurance that you won’t fall victim to a drive by shooting.
Your move, America.

Headcannon: nymphs love to nibble on things, like when that one hung onto papi's ear. thanks to chitin it doesn't hurt thankfully, but that doesn't stop nymphs from nibbling on hooves when they get close.
Nymphs are curious by nature, and early in their lives have trouble seeking answers outside of strictly physical means. As such, nibbling is a very common means of discovering what can and cannot be eaten, and of playing. Due to a changeling’s chitinous hide, there is very rarely any pain from a nymph’s nibbles.
