I make under $15/hr and I’m not an affluent teenager, no matter how hard I pretend to be.

You should know: Vancouver’s Historic Tunnels.

Restaurant dress codes: Sexy outfits for female staff may be discriminatory. People don’t call them breastaurants without cause.

Social Justice Warriors Piss On Your Free Speech – Lauren Southern Attacked. Watch a local woman conflate sex with gender, species with gender, and finally machine with gender. The only question is, what kind of piss was it? Transgender piss, cat piss, or attack helicopter piss?

Bonus: Spoons!!!!
