- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 15 hours ago:
$150 per hour? I’m in salaried software engineering and barely making a third of that after a promotion.
If what you propose happens, all the prices of everything would skyrocket… It seems good on paper, but it ignores all the greed of capitalism…
For better or worse, (the latter for rich folks…) there “needs” to be tiers of incomes (in Capitalism). Bumping the minimum just bumps the prices. We’ve already experience it with minimum wage bumps in the US. We don’t have an actual solution that works at the moment in the US because minimum wage increases automatically lead to greedier CEOs.
- Comment on So…. What’s the worst idea you went through with? 10 months ago:
On my 25th birthday, my roommate and I had the great idea to do Skittles vodka. If you’re not familiar, you basically separate each color of skittles and use filters (think coffee filters) to infuse the color/flavor into the alcohol you poor over.
It mostly tasted like vodka. And even though I had a brewery tour and bar outing under my belt, it still tasted like pretty much pure vodka.
What I remember of the night was pretty good overall. But waking up in Skittles-colored vomit… both hilarious (in hindsight) and gross.
