Fuck Small Talk.  Let’s Talk About How Your Day Was, The Weather, Or The Big Game Last Night.

So what can we learn from this study? On the data side, we see that everything is proceeding as planned. Nobody’s paying $50 for a burger at McDonald’s, or $16 for a can of tuna at Safeway. Employers wish their profits were higher, and workers are glad they got a raise, but they wish they made more money. Three years after Seattle started down the road to $15, everything is as it should be. Those apocalyptic claims of destruction and business closures haven’t been proven true. One thing the study didn’t explain was why the sky didn’t fall as promised. Why weren’t workers laid off in droves, or replaced with robots? Why didn’t prices skyrocket? Why does Seattle have more restaurants now than at any point in its history? It’s because those workers who saw a raise now have more money to spend in the city around them. Those restaurant workers are eating in more restaurants. They’re buying more groceries. They’re buying more clothes and cars. That increased consumer demand is creating jobs, and more than paying for the increased minimum wage. The $15 minimum wage established a positive feedback loop that created growth in Seattle by including more people in the economy. In other words, it worked exactly as intended.

We are proud to introduce the world’s first Bulbasaur-building simulator program: the Build-a-Saur. Now you can finally build your own Bulbasaur however you want. You can customize virtually everything: spots, teeths, toenails, eyeballs, eyebrows, nose holes, smiles, and bulbs. 

We apologize for NO ear customization and NO legs customization. We look forward to adding these features in future updates.

To help you get inspired, we here at Build-a-Saur Bulbaquarters have developed a brand-new Bulbasaur: Bulbabilly, king of the bog. He loves eating bugs and dipping his beard softly into the swamp. He has three teeth, all of which he made himself, and his favorite song is something played on a banjo, probably.

What kind of Bulbasaur can you build?

Anyways there’s a website that tells you whether Thanos killed you or not when he wiped out half the planet

the scene where aragorn pours out eowyn’s soup gets 10000 times funnier when you remember that he’s a greasy ass ranger that has probably eaten Dirt for breakfast several times. Her cooking is just that bad. Not even the Dirt Man will eat it
