I thought he wasn't accepted because he got injured, not that he went AWOL?

[Barnabas]

Whenever I feel like buying something computer related, I always go for the most nerd looking salesman, the morbid fat one with acne, ridiculous facial hair and glasses always knows much more than the rest who might as well be selling used cars

Fixed. Where have you been? Philly public schools have had uniforms since around 2001 or so. I doubt we're the only city.

What the hell does that have to do with whether companies can enforce dress codes? The entire point of mentioning private schools was because of the comparison to private companies.

You really need to curb this pedantic penchant of yours, it just leads to you looking ridiculous most of the time.

But that's the point. Companies want the clean, nice-looking sales people who don't know ****. That way they can make sales to equally-ignorant customers who are won over by the nice, helpful sales people, and they can also pay the sales people less since they don't have any actual expertise.

So nudity?

Hardly. Nudity has far more unintended meanings, at least in America.

But from a personal standpoint, there's nothing wrong with nudity. It's one of the primary reasons I want to be a writer.

[Cort Haus]

Too much information.

Thank you Kuci, but your explanation is in another castle.

"Justice, desert and fairness" (or whatever order it was in) doesn't make sense. Is KH stringing together a bunch of words, one of which (desert) is nonsense, or is he making a point, albeit without any clarity?

[Aeson]

It's an acceptable use of the term. Though I don't agree at all that believing in justice, desert, and fairness is necessarily a bad thing. Just depends on which ones you believe in.

I myself believe in justice, desserts, and fairness. Though even the value of desserts can be situational. For instance, one of the best desserts:location is just ice:desert.

I once got sent home from the supermarket I worked at as an evening/weekend job when I was at school to get my hair cut. True story.

Still got paid for the time I missed.

[EPW]

People who work with or around food shouldn't be allowed to have any hair. And preferably they'd take some sort of disinfectant shower before work.

[Aeson]

Same with people who go to restaurants. And dental hygienists (whether at a restaurant or work).

[MikeH]

I'd rather have hair in my food than disinfectant.

[Aeson]

I don't mind hair in my disinfectant to be honest. Adds a nice scouring action when applied.
