I’m at a Burger King on the NJ Turnpike and it appears they have some sort of dynamic pricing in place. They also wanted an additional $3 to add bacon to a burger! Yet adding bacon AND cheese, was half that price.

Most egregious cases where a clearly aged actor plays a teenager

We all know that Hollywood has a tendency to cast older actors in teenage roles. But what's the most egregious example of this?

• Literally the entire Grease cast. Excellent movie. But quite literally none of them look and sell me as teenagers in high-school, especially John Travolta.
• Saoirse Ronan in Lady Bird. She had a sublime performance, but I don't think she really looked the part for a high-schooler.

Supreme Court had no one outside of it last night. If there needs to be a call for action allow this to be it. If our leaders have no spine allow us to stand up. If our president elect is all words and dreams allow us to be physical and real. We as a generation and country cannot stand by while this happens. We must all put our personal lives aside, yes I mean work, yes I mean relationship problems, yes outside of deathly illnesses I mean health. We much stand up now or forever be put down. Not for one issue but for all. Not for one party but for all. This isn’t a call for democrats it is a call for everyone. Wake up and march before it’s illegal to do so.

Edit. This is not a call for others to lead or be first. This is not a call to die if you are on medication. This is a call to join me if you don’t have children or a 10k a month medication. And unfortunately the majority of you have refused. Make no mistake, apathy is the death of democracy and here is your proof. I’m being accused of trying to be mlk? How DARE I try to motivate a movement. How dare I. This country deserves what it gets at this point. “Ooooooo my health insurance.” What about your fucking freedom?

We went to Subway where my husband and I each ordered a pretzel and my two nieces each ordered a footlong sub sandwich. I am the only one who got a drink, which they promptly handed me an empty cup and a straw to fill myself. When we checked out they added an automatic 20% tip which equaled $8.51. I was indignant and made them remove the tip. I said I do not tip where I have to stand to order my food, get my own drink, and clean up after myself. I should add that I live in Washington State, minimum wage is $16.28 an hour, the tipping pressure is real here, and there are more than one place that has the automatic tip set to 20% unless you see to change it. Which may have been the case, but I did not see where I could have changed it before they charged me. Tell me, am I the asshole?

The news of the last few days has me depressed. We're in the final days of the American experiment in democracy, and I don't expect it to continue much past the end of my lifetime.

What's the name for this region ? Does it have any previously used names? If u had to make up a name what would it be?
