Dumb-ass kids skipping school to play chicken across a major road. Public transportation rage! Yay!

Almost got smeared along the road by my bus today. The driver braked so hard that everyone practically went airborne for a split-second. Everyone standing found themselves face-first on the ground, and everyone sitting had either hit their head on the seat in front of them or off the window.

I was standing, and managed not to get thrown to the ground, but I think I wrenched my arm doing it. It still feels sore.

Even worse, those stupid kids were pointing and laughing at the bus while still standing in the middle of the road. Is it bad that I'm disappointed about them not getting hit?

You should only feel bad about the consequences of them getting hit, namely your bus driver getting fired.  Unless you hate the bus driver.  Then nah, it's cool.  Little dumbshits like them are the reason we had natural selection in the first place, and one of the largest reasons as to why I'm sad we do all we can to deter it from doing it's natural duty.

How has this not been thrown out yet, when the argument is so simple? (sorry for the pseudo-logic talk here, and yeah it could use some touch-ups before being logically sound.)

That's because minimum wage laws specifically exclude people in jobs such as waitresses and food delivery.  God Bless America.

Mmhmm. Sure, chances of being caught are pretty slim, but if you end up getting audited? Enjoy the buggering. It's immensely easy to tell if you're not declaring you tips once they start going over your financial information.

The IRS isn't going to go after someone for tips for the same reason that cops never pull over pizza delivery drivers who routinely exceed the speed limit.  Nobody goes into those jobs with the ambition of making minimum wage workers starve and nobody got promoted for doing that.

Welcome to America.

Doesn't America practically run off of broken systems?

Pretty much. Some of them work pretty well though, like the Imperial Measurement system. Your high-falutin' metric system and it's uppity crap. You will realize one day how right we are about that one.

Hey Hans :v

What is not-intuitive about 12 inches going into a foot, no unit of measurement below 1 inch except fractions of an inch, 3 feet going into a yard, and 5280 feet going into a mile? THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE I TELL YOU.

[Bauglir]

Listen, if you're doing work that requires measurements finer than an inch, you're being silly. Just scale the project up!

[Aklyon]

Nonono, leave the scale as it is unless you can't measure it in fractions of an inch. Then scale it up!

What's really bad is that I could probably spread the rumor that

1 dumile = 235 miles

and I could probably get away with it. That wouldn't work so well in metric

[SealyStar]

No, keeping all your tips and not declaring them is illegal. Tax evasion, you see.

That said, the amount of money made from tips like that is so little that the effective tax rate is really low anyway, which means the IRS has more important things to do.

YOu can rumor metric all you want, you jsut have to make sure you use a high enough power of 10 (or -10).

Teacher was coming around to look at our homework on the school computers. Mine died just before he reached me.

DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT. DAMMIT.

...so, how about them angstroms?  I've heard that they got a length of ten to the negative tenth

[miauw62]

1 fugometer = 1*10^10 m
1 fugymeter = 1*10^-10m

Why not Planck units?

1 hectare = 1m²
1 stère = 1m³
1 chore = 1m⁴

One of these things is not like the others...
