Remember when that cop pepper-sprayed students in 2011? UC Davis paid $175K to scrub it from the internet’s memory https://t.co/5prbgrx1WL

Nice try fuckers.

$175K wasted with every reblog.

Let’s make sure they DON’T get their money’s worth.

Hey, so what exactly was that cops name again…?

[elfwreck]

Lt. John Pike. It took more than two years of legal battles to get his name, and the names of other officers involved, released to the public. 

He got fired… but retained his retirement benefits, and got  $38,000 worth of worker’s compensation for the stress he went through after the incident.

The students collectively received $1m, with each pepper-sprayed student receiving $30,000 individually.

Now I want to get married just so I can do this.

If I were a billionaire I would absolutely tell my secretary to send wedding gifts to anyone who sent me an invite regardless of if I knew them, because- A. I know how expensive that nonsense is. B. I would be a billionaire and when else am I gonna do with that much money? Honestly… and C. I would totally make showing up at random weddings with crazy awesome gifts my new stress relief hobby. “Congratulations random strangers! I admire your daring and stratigic planning. Here’s that 700$ tea set you wanted but assumed no one would ever buy.”

I love rhetoric but hate conflict so Pointless Debates ™ are my favorite thing.  Some other good Pointless argments, if you need something to debate:

“Does (Food Item X) qualify as a sandwich?” Arguments For and Against. It’s equally fun to argue that an un-sandwich-like food (Ex:  Soup) is a Sandwich, and to argue that a Sandwich-like food is Not A Sandwich (Ex: Muffuletta).

Should You Fistfight This Historical Figure?

Arguments for Non-Dog animals to be admitted to the AKC Ex:“An Armadillo is basically a fortified Dachsund”

“If you could write a new book for the Bible, what would it be called?” (I want to write “Errata”)

Bracket Nights, but arguing which of the 16 things is the Worst.

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere. 

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay. 

Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

[stayingmachine-moved]

and something else: your career doesn’t have to be your calling. you can do what you love (writing, music, drawing, knitting) as a hobby. it doesn’t have to pay the bills. it’s okay to do an office job and then go home to your hobby. there are different paths to passion.

I’m watching a documentary on Netflix about animals getting prosthetics and this vet just hand sculpted a prosthetic beak for an injured swan and the very first thing it did was use its new beak to bite someone
