It’s McDonald’s, it’s not supposed to be a high paying job

[jabberwockypie]

People deserve to make enough to live on. That’s not up for debate. This idea that some jobs aren’t “supposed to” pay enough for people to get their needs met is bullshit. Nobody should be living in poverty.

[the-space-ferret]

Yes, but it’s McDonald’s. It’s not meant to be a job to support a family, it’s mainly for support for teens or side jobs.

[aeliad]

No, it’s not. 

There is no such thing as a job “for teens” (and even if there was, they deserve a fair wage for their labor, too.) Nobody should get paid so little that they need “side jobs.” 

If your business model relies on paying people a wage that keeps them trapped in poverty, your business should not continue to exist. McDonald’s can afford to pay their workers a better wage, they’re choosing not to. 

[acestuckwithahimbo]

Funny story- I am a manager at a Mc Donald’s. Do you know? We have a set limit of minors- teenagers- we can employ. It’s barely over a dozen. Most locations open at 6am… guess what, on week days minors cannot work before they are out of school, or before 730am if they are out of school (GED and the like) also 730am on weekends. Minors cannot work after 10pm on weekdays, and after Midnight on weekends. My location closes at 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and 1am on Friday and Saturday. Because of labor laws here, they may not have more than 20 hours a week, and cannot work more than 5 hours in a single day.

So no. This is absolutely not a job just for teens. We have a giant compactor that crushes and crushes our trash. If you’re not 18 you’re not allowed to operate it. Anything sharp? Are you 18? Can’t touch it. Being a manger? Are you out of high school and at least 18? Forget it.

And honestly, I wouldn’t make any of the kids at my job deal with our customers when they’re going feral. Do you know how bat shit y’all are?? I had a woman start crying because we ran out of the Mc Rib and caused a scene in my drive-thru for 10 minutes. I’ve had old men cussing me out because Corp decided to bump a senior coffee from .99 to 1.09. Though if you sit inside, which they all do for well over two hours every morning… refills are free.

We have a lady here who we call “Princess Diamond” because she’s so fucking entitled she gave us a bad review on the McVoice because we served a homeless man and he sat to close to her… which was across the entire goddamn lobby. Would you really want a teen trying to deal with this woman??

I sure as shit don’t. I don’t allow her to deal with most of my Crew, actually. I’m as nice as freaking sugar in your tea to her face but if she gets rude I start slamming her order down on the tray. And as my Crew knows, the sweeter my voice gets the more trouble your in. She doesn’t stay long on days were I start getting aggressive with her food.

Side tracked- but no. We have so many things that need to be done all day long that we can’t legally let a minor do. A sister location was just fined over $5,000.00 because of labor violations pertaining to minors.

Just pay us so we can live. Please. A lot of these teens are trying to move out and get into apartments. But if an apartment costs 800.00 in rent and that’s usually one of the two checks a month an adult gets. Maybe. That’s a struggle even for myself, and it’s just my roommate, our dumb cat, and me. No children. He has a worse paying job.

We just want to be able to live.

[aeliad]

This goes for any minimum wage job. 

The minimum wage, when it was set in 1938 as the United States was coming out of the Depression, was intended to be the minimum you needed to be able to pay your bills and raise a family on a single income. Not this bullshit we have today. It’s as low as it is because it hasn’t kept up with inflation.

Like, not only is working in fast food one of the hardest fucking jobs because it’s hot, it’s dangerous, and it’s full of the worst customers, but it’s also disrespected constantly, and people don’t think you deserve to be able to pay your bills. 

Fuck that. 

Pay workers enough to live on with a single full time job. 

Any business that can’t? Shouldn’t exist.

tell me about the zukaang headcanon that makes you the happiest, like; you can't stop smiling into your pillow kinda happy :) only if you want to!

This is so difficult i dont even know where to begin with this. What i really love about zukaang and their friendship in general is how zuko has had to learn that aang isnt asking anything of him. Aang isnt expecting him to be anyone but himself and how much of a relief that has been to zuko. Really that works vice versa too. I also love how much they praise each other all the time. Theyre so healthy i cant take it honestly

I love the idea of them napping against appa together and being in each others laps and aang making little braids in zukos hair and how when they spoon their scars from azula align and i love how aang is one of the only people zuko doesnt seem to worry is making fun of him and i love that they literally built an entire world of peace together 

[picsthatmakeyougohmm]

hmmm

[non-bender-world]

Aang: Do you want a protein shake?

Zuko: Nah bro

Aang: Why bro

Zuko: Because you’re the only one who gives me strength bro

Aang: Bro.

[f-imaginings]

Aang legit in the comic called Zuko “Your Fireiness” as a nickname. It’s not a stretch that one day the gaang all hang out and watch Aang and Zuko banter(flirt) and Aang calls Zuko “Your Hotness”. When Toph barks out a laugh all “Careful Twinkletoes, your wife can see you blushing.” And Katara goes “I like it when he’s blushing. Besides, who wouldn’t call Zuko Your Hotness?” To the left Sokka is dramatically gagging, but Aang and Katara laugh and take turns bowing and ushering Zuko across the courtyard “Your Hotness” “After you, Your Hotness” “Oh mighty and regal lord hotness of the firenation” “Hottest hotness of the firenation dynasty” “The hottiest” and Zuko gets all flustered and ends up laughing.

Mako: Wow. Fire lord Zuko it's an honor to meet you.

Zuko: The honor is all mine

Mako: Wow. Thank yo-

Zuko: Yep. All mine. Don't touch it

[ahhhsami]

Assumptions we can make about Mako from TLOK:

He didn’t go to school, yet was expected to know how to find food/housing and know financing skills to care fo his brother and himself.

He was manipulated a lot when younger when involved with the Triads. He hurt innocent people without the knowledge of doing so.

Work with the triad and losing his family has led to major trust issues.

Mako was more so interested in stability, money, and Asami’s looks rather than her as a person (learned manipulation from Triads).

Mako has an extremely strong moral code and guilt related to his Triad days. He joined the United Republic Force to atone for his past. 

Korra was the first person to break through his shell, but both were not in the right place for a proper relationship. Mako chose stability over Korra during their days together.

Mako struggled with relationships due to still learning social cues. He’d spent the majority of his life interacting with his brother and people who just didn’t give a shit about him.

Mako shielded Bolin from the worst things related to the Triad. Bolin obviously worked for them, but probably did the ‘easier/safer’ things rather than the extreme things Mako may have done.

Mako grew up knowing what hunger and poverty was.

Mako is paranoid/anxious due to his past experiences.

He has done things he’s guilty for, but there was no other choice than survive and care for his brother.

Mako’s judgement in regards to Bolin changing jobs comes from wanting stability and safety. It’s not just to be an asshole.

Mako’s agitation towards Bolin as they grow older is valid. Bolin gets older, yet still looks and needs guidance from his brother. Mako is his sibling and not his parent though. Mako has no fixed obligation to always help and be there 24/7 for his brother once they’re older.

Mako sacrificed everything for stability.

Mako is a good person and character.

Mako is still trying to discover self-love, self-respect, and happiness. It’s a journey we all take, but sometimes it takes longer for others due to their past and experiences.

Mako was a neglected youth that people often times forget. Learned behaviors don’t just disappear. He may come off as a douchebag at times, but try to remember what he probably went through to get to where he is now. Mako has come a long way, even if he still has a long way to go. He’s a solid character that really cares for others and will sacrifice himself for the greater good (He was going to sacrifice himself for a whole city that hadn’t given a shit about him when he needed them, but he still did what he did).

Every time I see a post about updog I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help the poster complete their joke.

[tommyeatseaton-blog]

okay but what’s updog ?

[jaiwithanadult]

Updog is a long sausage in a bun often served with ketchup, mustard, onion e, and/or relish.

[yumantimatter]

No, that’s a hotdog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released

[defectivealtruist]

You’re thinking of update. Updog is when you end a sentence with a rising intonation.

[ghostpalmtechnique]

No, that’s uptalk.  You’re thinking of the fourth-largest city in Sweden.

[argumate]

surely that’s Uppsala, whereas Updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter.

[regexkind]

That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs

[another-normal-anomaly]

You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current.

[yieldsfalsehoodwhenquined]

no that’s an updraft

updog isn’t a noun at all, it’s a verb; it basically means to chew someone out, or harshly lecture them

[identicaltomyself]

No, that’s upbraid. An updog is a small dog that likes cuddling on people’s laps.

[speakertoyesterday]

No that’s a puppydog. An updog is when the Mets win.

[mistbornthefinal]

No that’s an upset. An updog is the modern version of a henway.

[yumantimatter]

What’s a henway?

[eversolewd-deactivated20250517]

Oh, about 5 pounds.

Me at family gatherings

[messofagab]

love arrives

before love arrived,

love was perfection

love opened the door for me and everyone else

love knew what I was thinking from across the room

love was angsty and dark to everyone but me

love singled me out and chased me

love fought hard and rough

love was outspoken and proud

love would never give up.

when love first arrived,

love crept slowly

love laid in wait to pounce

love got to know me first

love spent hours on the phone with me

love talked me to sleep even when love didn’t want to

love was like a ray

- of sunshine, beaming and everpresent

- making you run all the bases just to get stung in the heart

love had hair that was messy and eyes that shone

love was possessive and caring

love was insecure and beautiful

love made me cry happy and sad

love cried happy and sad

love gave up.

when love second arrived,

love stormed in

love demanded all attention

love was dark and shy

love had so much to give

love was like a bath

- warm, hugging me all over

- lingering on parts of me days later

love was loud and quiet

love liked running around in the park

love liked cuddling under the covers

love was always willing to share

love played games and made me laugh

love was red, full of passion and hunger

love fought for me

love understood

love excused himself

love let me go.

before love arrived,

love was perfection

love was an idea

love was a neverending fantasy built on happily ever afters

love was a mind reader

love had no faults

love was equal

love never gave up.

after love arrived,

love left swiftly or slowly, no in between

love lingered around me

love apologized

love was a balance

love was passion

love was comfort and discomfort

love pushed me to be more

love pushed itself to be more

love changed

love gave up.

when love next arrives,

love will love me

love will change

and love might give up.
