I own the place.

I own and operate a comic book store in a heavily trafficked mall.  The customer doesn’t approve of a toy her son bought, so she wants a refund.  But I can’t resell it now because it’s open.  So she has a fit, because I won’t take it back.  Wants to speak to my manager.  I tell her I am the manager.  Not good enough for her, wants to speak to my boss.  Sorry, I don’t have one of those.  So she insists of complaining to my corporate owner.  I show her the receipt, where the owner’s phone number is.  She calls it in front of me to get me in deep doo-doo.  She is stunned when my personal cell phone rings, and holy shit, I am the owner.  

Then she wants mall security’s phone number because they’ll want to know my policies are bad.  So I gave her mall security’s number, because I’m pretty sure they won’t give a flying fuck.

So she waits for security, and no they don’t give a fuck.  She claims she won’t leave until I give her a refund.  Security tells her if she’s not gone from my store in 60 seconds, they’re calling the police.

Happy ending for me but aggravating it took so long to get there.

tbh I don’t see the fuss about having waiters/waitresses not being happy and enthusiastic like I came here to eat I didn’t come here to be amused by employees as long as I’m getting my food and they’re not being blatantly rude I don’t see why y’all need to go on yelp to rank a restaurant 0/5 and have an outburst on why your waitress didn’t smile at you when she poured you water

Hey guys! I know there’s few of you but I have a question. Someone is threatening to leak nudes of a friend and I to our friends and family. He’s from Norway. Do any of you know the law regarding revenge porn there as I can’t find anything about it on google.

[myy-untitled-mind]

Hey guys I know this blog is a big nsfw but I saw their plea for help and decided to share the post. If anyone could help them out and send a message I'm sure they'd appreciate it!

Why Do You Hide?

“Why do you hide your illness?”

Maybe it’s because people don’t even believe me when I tell them I’m sick.

Maybe it’s because I can feel people become uncomfortable when I talk about it.

Maybe it’s because I’m tired of having to disclose extremely personal medical information to random people.

Maybe it’s because I’ve had people I love doubt me.

Maybe it’s because I’ve had doctors doubt me.

Maybe it’s because I’m looked down upon when I need help.

Maybe it’s because of all of the times it’s been implied that I’m just not trying hard enough to get better.

Maybe it’s because it’s easier to pretend I’m okay than it is to explain that I am in fact in pain this very minute even though I’m out of the house because if I didn’t do anything every time I was in pain I would literally never do anything because I am in pain every minute of every day.

Maybe it’s because I’ve had my sanity questioned when I try to open up.

Maybe it’s because I’m terrified of the harassment I would face if I identified myself as disabled.

Maybe it’s because I know you’ll never understand unless you experience it (and I would never want you to).

Maybe it’s because I’m so f*cking sick of hearing the judgment in healthy people’s voices. 

Maybe it’s because society has made me feel that disabled people are lesser than able-bodied people.

Maybe it’s because I don’t feel important enough for anyone to care.

Maybe it’s because I feel like nobody would want to be around me if they knew how bad things really are.

10 Things I Hate About You, 1999.

[furlockhound-inactive-moved-dea]

Didn’t that turn out to be a load of bullshit that no-one can replicate the results of to this day?

[theswedishelf]

Yep! His results were faked, and the entire film was basically anti-McDonald’s scaremongering, “poor people are stupid” and “fat people don’t get any sex”. It’s also thanks to this asshat that McDonald’s can’t advertise fuckin’ Happy Meals anymore and had to get rid of all their characters and their super size option, particularly because he claimed without evidence that they have a kid-fattening agenda, don’t list their nutritional info anywhere and have a mission statement from their CEO to make people sick and unhealthy from eating there for every single meal. On top of this, he actually tried to claim in a bonus experiment that McDonald’s fries aren’t actually fries because they don’t rot when left in an airtight container for a long time but all the burgers do–which is thanks to the oil and salt they’re loaded with, not some big conspiracy where the fries, which are processed and supplied by McCain in Canada, aren’t actually goddamn chopped potatoes–and equated the containers to a human stomach. Yes, cause the human stomach is an airtight container that food sits in for months, right? Spurlock, did veganism turn your brain completely off or something? Hell, the fucker even tried to claim credit for McDonald’s having salads, falsely stating at one point they didn’t have any before he “exposed” their EVIL PLANS.

Yeah, that’s another thing to remember, he’s apparently a vegan. He didn’t let anyone know he’s one, of course, he only mentioned his girlfriend is one, because it would’ve made his vomiting after a single McDonald’s meal, something literally no one else on the planet has done, seem less ZOMG SCARY.

Want a good film of this nature? Try Tom Naughton’s Fat Head instead, a film where a guy actively proves Spurlock wrong by actually losing weight while eating nothing but fast food for a month. He accomplishes this by NOT fucking gorging himself on the unhealthiest food choices, eating more meals than he claims or cutting out his usual physical activity. While he’s at it, he also exposes exactly why Spurlock is a total fraud. In the process, he gets actual doctors and nutrition experts to help him explain why everything you know about healthy eating is probably wrong or half-true, inform us about good and bad cholesterol, expose the real reasons behind the so-called “obesity epidemic” and point out why fat =/= unhealthy by default. Yeah, Naughton encourages viewers to try the paleo diet in the end, but at least it comes off more as a suggestion and doesn’t demonize anyone in the process.

[yungtarkatan-deactivated2018110]

Wow, everything I know is now a lie.

[picketsmodblog-deactivated20181]

Also, to elaborate on this, Spurlock claimed that he was eating 5,000 calories a day, and yet when a Swedish university tried this very experiment with several different students, no one (I repeat, no one) could even come close to replicating the results.

So yeah, Spurlock basically lied to prove a point, who would have guessed

August 14 2017 - Protesters in Durham, North Carolina decide to take matters into their own hands and take down a confederate statue. 

The statue represented a soldier who fought in the Civil War and an inscription on the front read “The Confederate States of America.” 

One organizer of the protest told WNCN that toppling the statue was in response to the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. this weekend.“It needs to be removed,” organizer Loan Tran told the news station. “These Confederate statues in Durham, in North Carolina, all across the country.” [video]

[sarcasticlevellouise-blog]

By taking these down, you’re erasing history. Germany left Holocaust camps standing, so we can learn from our mistakes. No wonder America is regressing.

[kropotkindersurprise]

Germany specifically destroyed the Nazi monuments you fucking dumbass, and they made new monuments to remember the people oppressed and murdered by the Nazis.

white racists and their apologists are consistently the most intellectually embarrassing humans on earth.

I think this is very important, because a lot of people think that being an ally is just not saying queerphobic things or defending a queer friend when someone insults or attacks them. To me, being an ally means you’re one all the time. Specially when there’s no queer folk around, because it’s not about proving yourself to the community, it’s about being supportive and doing what’s right, like they did. This asshole showed who he really is behind that smile, and they’re basically like “Well, you ain’t getting money from me, so fuck you and your dumb beliefs”. To me, THIS is how you ally.

What’s wrong with this website

[twodotsknowwhy]

Ok, so, I’m all for the removal of confederate statues and all, but it seems weird to me that after the death of eight black people, the cities drug their feet and complained about “heritage” but are now swiftly removing them after the death of one white woman. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t do it now, better late than never I suppose, but it is interesting that this is what it took
