Random Thoughts: Starbucks and Community

Community is back! In a really weird place… But it’s back!

What’s the slogan of Yahoo! Screen? “Yeah, it’s a thing.”

BTW, if you’ve never seen Community, it’s worth subscribing to Hulu Plus just for being able to watch seasons 1-3,5.

Being offended is a choice.

What does it mean about race that my reaction to the news about Starbuck’s #RaceTogether was the annoyed exclamation, “White people!”?

Let’s talk about race, baby.
Let’s talk about harmony.
Let’s talk about all the things you do micro-agressively.
Let’s about race.

I’m still not convinced this Starbucks thing is real.

I’m a little scared about what I may say on any controversial issue before I’ve had my coffee.

So people getting worked up over the cover art on a Batgirl comic was a real thing?

You can’t stay ahead of the SJWs if your tried. They invent new things to be offended by every single day.

So far, only one episode title of Better Call Saul didn’t end in an ‘o’ and I’m still trying to figure out if that’s significant.

Are corn farmers basically welfare queens?

Is Starbucks charging enough for a latte to be able to solve the issue of race?

Experience so far is that Yahoo Screen really needs to work on its video streaming. I have 300mbs down and the video is choppy.

The ads are streaming just fine.

Captions are out of sync. Come on, Yahoo, this isn’t time for amateur hour. #Community

The video quality was almost unwatchable with how choppy it is, and now it’s froze with two minutes left. šŸ™ #Community

Here’s how desperate I was to watch the new Community: I opened Internet Explorer to see if Yahoo Screen would work better in it.

I think I’ll wait on watching the second Community episode. Maybe it’s a bandwidth problem on Yahoo’s end that will better another day.

Not sure what I thought of the first episode. Might rewatch if I can fix the video quality issues. #Community

I’m kind of amused in how people tell me how funny Superego when it’s supposed to be my first big serious work.

Being disappointed by a politician is what you get for having any expectations whatsoever.

  1. All I have time for this morning is random thoughts.

    So, I’ll pick a random thought and make a random comment…

    “Are corn farmers basically welfare queens?”

    Yes. Now drink your high fructose corn syrup.

  2. Are corn farmers basically welfare queens?

    Well, other than the facts that they:

    1. work
    2. invest large amounts of money in capital equipment, seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides
    3. would probably be growing corn even if there weren’t subsidies

    they are.

    Should they be subsidized? No.

  3. …blacks don’t want to talk about race, feel that it’s all the whites’ fault because blacks-are-not-racist and they are owed everything… with that mentality, the conversation goes nowhere…don’t believe me, you try it.

  4. “As an American, I find Rudy Giuliani’s vicious comments about President Obama ‘not loving America’ to be profoundly offensive to both the President and the Office,” -Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, Sniveling Liberal.

    “Race together” to Starbucks and empty your wallets!

  5. Here come ol’ Starbucks
    They been screwin’ up lately
    They sell muddy water; run through mocha filters
    They say “$101.01 for three —
    One thing I can tell you is this lunch isn’t free.”
    Race Together
    Right Now
    Over Tea

  6. @ 3 Jimmy: So how many are going to avoid Starbucks now for fear of being forced to discuss the ā€œrace issue?ā€

    A) I avoid Starbucks for a whole lot of other reasons..

    B) IF I went there and IF the Obamarista asked me for my opinion about race issues, I would just say “Face it, the Kenyans win them all, even the one which was bombed to support Muslims” –Of course, I would have the good sense to say this AFTER I received my price-of-lunch coffee.

  7. You’d think that a company that has a policy of not opening stores in anything but rich liberal (aka white) areas would just kinda keep quiet about the whole race thing.
    The building I work out of has a now empty coffee shop on the first floor, Starbucks people where there “counting foot traffic”, there’s plenty of it and it was a successful coffee shop for 15 years BUT….there’s also lots those people too. I’m pretty sure I know what they were really counting.

  8. @10: I heard a guy call them “Star*ucks” because they: (1) burn their beans, and, (2) charge too much.

    I went in one about a year ago and ordered regular coffee. Pissed the barista right *uck off.

  9. In the Latino community, this campaign has earned La Razaberries. . . you know, what with Juan Valdez and all.

    College student cashier to Hispanic: “Hey, where you going so fast?”
    *Alarmed look by customer in gang colors*
    Cashier: “Wanna rap about race?”
    I can’t finish this scenario. I’m laughing too hard at the people who thought this was a good idea, and the Hispanic’s comebacks are so funny they’re not PG.

  11. Maybe Starbucks looked at their profit margins and decided they couldn’t give out free packets of cream anymore?

    “Can you add cream to this?”
    “Do you have a problem with black coffee???”

    “This coffee is bitter.”
    “It’s because it’s a black coffee, isn’t it?”
