The fact that every single one of these has happened exactly like this is really depressing.

Light Yagami is being played by one of the two kids from the Naked Brothers band.

what
why

if you’re gonna go with the Japanese names, for the love of all that is good in the world, stay true to the Japanese version. Have it take place in Japan. With Japanese actors. Heck let’s just watch the Japanese movie(s) that already exist and be done with it. :/ We need lots more exposure to foreign films and culture, anyway.
Salt Lake City police shooting victim identified as 17-year-old Adbi Mohamed #BLACKLIVESMATTER
A teenage boy has allegedly been shot by police while holding a broomstick in Salt Lake City, sparking angry protests.
Witnesses told local media the incident happened at around 8.15pm on Saturday evening (3.15am GMT) near a homeless shelter in the US city’s downtown area.
Selam Mohammad said his friend was 16 and had been shot in the chest and stomach.
Mohammad told that the teenager was holding part of a broomstick at his side when officers ran up.
“They told him to put it down, once, and started shooting him as soon as he turned around,”
he added, saying his friend was hit in the chest and stomach.
Authorities did not immediately confirm the boy’s condition or the circumstances of the reported shooting.
Obviously these pigs were in fear for their lives, or they “had no time for this shit” as we so often see these days. Police who shoot unarmed kids most likely operate “shoot first ask questions later” as a general policy, which is itself illegal and therefore criminal. It stands to reason that other criminals will adopt a similar policy towards the police, in self defense.
For anyone who lives in Salt Lake there’s going to be a protest tomorrow:
Casual reminder that working off the clock is illegal. Unless you’re salaried or authorized for overtime there is no reason for you to stay late. None. Your employers know this, too.
You know what else? I have had bosses that have forced employees to clock out because the big machine wasn’t warmed up yet. So we were required to stand there for 10 minutes, unpaid, while that happened.
I have had bosses that required that every 15 minute block be recorded and justified, and we were paid based on that time. Which meant if they didn’t give us a task ticket to do, we weren’t able to clock that time, and thus didn’t get paid for waiting on our bosses to get us work. Our efficiency was based on how much of that time was billed (after they took off time that they thought wasn’t justified), and through that, we almost never, ever got raises.
There are also the bosses who don’t give any benefits (paid time off, paid holidays, insurance..) unless you are on salary… and the requirements for salary were perfect attendance for a 3 month period. No sick days, no tardies (even 1 minute), and a required 8 hours per day. And once on salary, you were required to clock 40 hours per week at MINIMUM or you would be kicked off. It was basically a cap on how much they were willing to pay and the only way you could get raises.
Contrarily, the boss I have now understands if I’m running a couple of minutes late, and the company makes it easy to earn paid time off so I CAN take a sick day or take my brother to the doctor if I need to without any penalties. I am HAPPY to stay late and work hard for them when it’s needed. I actually ENJOY being on time or early to this job because I know that my time is valued by THEM.
There’s a HUGE, HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference from one employer telling you that you’re LUCKY TO HAVE A JOB when you ask, after four years of service, if you can have a raise… and the other employer who THANKS YOU for your hard work and makes sure you feel valued.
Maybe if we millennials were treated like people and given a chance, instead of being told that we’re selfish, worthless, greedy, lazy slobs… we wouldn’t be running out the door as quickly as we could.
Look a raven… Crazy, cause I just finished reading the raven boys this morning.

It seems to be on the commute at the end of the day, when I’m standing, crammed next to the other business professionals on the train, that I begin to remember how crappy things are… and the closer I get to my apartment, the more I realize that I just don’t want to go home at all.
