#he has friends who literally offered to fix this crap IN EXCHANGE FOR A CASE OF BEER

[dreaming-of-assclass]

Nagisa getting angry at the whole class/or group 4 hc’s? The reason could be something about tainting Sakura or something? I just love mad Nagisa. Hope you’re doing well 🙌

Wait I love this so much omg, an opportunity to have him go apeshit like he deserved!! 💚 I love the idea of involving Sakura but I changed it up a bit ^^; Also if it's ok, I decided to write a short one-shot!

(Nagisa gets angry, 3-E gets put in their places and learns to be more humble) One-Shot!!

It was Day 5 of their assigned punishment, volunteering at the school. It was safe to say that majority of the class accepted it by this point and chose to focus on positives. even enjoying the time that was spent there.

The more damage they noticed, the more determined they were to fix the building and give the kids a proper place to learn. Chiba, who led the architect aspects, was especially endeared towards them, probably because he had younger sisters of his own.

The class all had divvied up their tasks. A large portion focused mainly on repairs and handiwork, but often alternated so people could have breaks too. Another big part of the class focused on entertaining the kids and helping Matsukata with the lessons.

A lot of students, the ones with high grades, were also involved in tutoring the children and generally helping out if it was needed. Kanzaki, Fuwa, Mimura, to name a few.

Nagisa figured he was in the very small minority of his classmates who was really only spending time with one child. Actually, scratch that, he was the only one.

But it wasn't like he minded! Sure, Sakura could be a brat and she was prickly at times. All the time... but she was just a kid! A kid who had already been conditioned into thinking she was a hopeless case! Of course, Nagisa would do everything in his power to help her feel better about herself.

After all, he knew exactly how it felt.

But Nagisa wasn't completely oblivious. Even if his attention was on her, he didn't miss the eye-roll exchanges amongst his classmates. Or the annoyed sigh his friends would give if he mentioned tutoring Sakura.

It left a very bad taste in his mouth, but he wisely chose to ignore it, pretend like he didn't hear anything before going back towards Sakura with new worksheets in hand.

This had continued on since the second day of their volunteering, so for a few days now. The subtle quirks of their eyebrows, quiet scoffs, whispering amongst each other.

Nagisa liked to believe that his classmates weren't snobby or problematic. But their behavior was seriously starting to piss him off now, and if it continued, he wasn't sure if he could shut up any longer.

________________

Of course, it had to be Sugino first.

Nagisa loved his best friend truly, but never did he feel so strong of an urge to sock him in the head.

They were all walking back home, as it was the end of the day and their after-school time at the school was done. The children had left first, then Class E stayed to do some extra work and help Matsukata before leaving themselves.

Like usual, Class E was split up. Some kids walked far along in their own groups, chatting. Others had already turned down their streets, ready to head home. Nagisa was in the back with Sugino, Kayano, Kanzaki, Okuda, Terasaka, and Nakamura.

Karma hadn't come in that day, claiming he was sick. Well...not surprising.

They were walking, feet sore from the day and their bags weighing over their shoulders. It was mostly Nakamura and Kayano talking, with a couple quips from Terasaka.

Nagisa was mostly just zoning out, thinking of what his mom would say or do tonight. Was she working late? Should he grab some groceries? Should he do the laundry-?

"Hellooooo~!" A hand waved in front of his face and Nagisa jolted up to see Sugino grinning at him expectedly. "Dude, wake up!"

"Sorry about that," Nagisa replied quickly (automatically) before smiling back. "What's up?"

"I was just gonna ask if you'd be up for leaving the volunteering stuff early tomorrow with me and Karma. He said he found a cool new comic shop to check out."

Nagisa bit his lip to stop from laughing out loud. Karma and Sugino really went from being "enemies" to now inviting him to their plans. Oh, the irony.

"Mm sorry, but I have to make the most use of that time to help Sakura. Maybe another time?" He offered.

Sugino's smile quirked. Ah, there it was.

"Man, that sucks."

Nagisa's eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you mean?"

"That you have to miss out on studying and fun just to tutor some bratty kid," Sugino retorted without missing a beat.

Nagisa's jaw almost dropped. Sugino liked kids. Where the heck was this coming from? "What's your problem?" He demanded.

At this point, the whole group had quieted down to watch them both with interest. Nakamura's lips were upturned as she crossed her arms. Terasaka's body posture appeared lax, but a sharp glint was in his eyes. Kayano just looked worried

Sugino carded his hand through his hair, frustrated. "Look, I just think you should leave her alone. She's still got a terrible attitude and isn't grateful at all for anything."

"She's just a kid!" Nagisa shot back, feeling his chest grow taut. "And if you bothered to pay attention, you'd see that it has improved. She needs someone to believe in her."

"No offense, Nagisa," a voice cut in. It was Nakamura stepping forward, her blue eyes similar to that of a shark's. "But I've heard you say that about a lot of things that never change."

"Not to mention, that it doesn't have to be your obligation to do everything for her," Kayano chimed in hesitantly.

"Honestly, I just don't get how you can even be around her for too long," Terasaka added. "She's so annoying."

"Enough!" Nagisa snapped loudly, feeling a familiar venom shoot up inside of him. It settled into his veins, on a pathway to pump inside of his heart.

All of his friends stiffened, but he couldn't bring himself to care at that moment. He continued sharply, "You know, this hubris you guys have...is what caused us to be in this situation in the first place."

He shook his head. "You just never learn your lesson, do you? You're all trashing on this literal child, when she's just like us!"

"Nagisa-" Sugino tried to interject, but Nagisa stopped him.

"We've been treated like losers. We've been talked down to by almost every adult in our lives." His voice got louder as his chest tightened. "We know what it's like to feel hopeless! And that's exactly how Sakura feels, so why don't you want to fix that?!"

Kayano was the first to lower her head.

"You know, we're lucky. Just because we have a crazy teacher and get to learn about assassination with cool gadgets doesn't change who we are," he continued. "We're still students who struggle. We're normal people who have failed but we got back up on our feet. We know we can do better. But lately, we've just been acting like the same people who treat us like crap!"

He let out a heavy breath. "And come on guys..." He lifted his gaze to meet theirs. "Let's not act like we're any better. I mean, look at how immature and bratty we've been!"

He gestured to Nakamura. "The first thing you tried to say after we were caught was that it was Matsukata's fault for being there."

The blonde flinched.

He turned to Terasaka, leveling his gaze with his. "And you almost blew me up on the first day of school for money!" He let his words out in one breathless laugh."

He turned towards Sugino. "And dude? You said some pretty mean stuff back when we first got Ritsu."

Both guys averted their gazes, their mouths downturned.

Nagisa sighed. "The point is, that we're not perfect. We've come a long way, but we've made mistakes and we can accept that. So please extend that energy towards this 12-year old who genuinely needs support."

The anger inside him had cooled down now, like how lava and molten rock gradually formed into solid rock. He watched his friends pensively. They all wore expressions of guilt and shame.

"You're right, man," Sugino said quietly. "I'm sorry." The others followed suit, and Nagisa felt a weight relieve his shoulders.

"Just..." Nagisa brushed back his bangs. "Give her a chance, guys. She's more than just an ungrateful brat."

"Of course, Nagisa," Kayano offered him a tiny smile, which he returned.

"And," Nagisa straightened up and fixed his gaze on Sugino. "You better wait to visit that comic shop until I'm free."

We're okay. I forgive you.

Sugino's lips turned up. "Sure, man."

Out With Friends

“Lena!” Kara nearly shouts from her chair at the table when she spots Lena walking across the bar toward them. She hops out of her seat and envelopes Lena in a hug. “Hey! I’m so glad you made it!”

Laughing, Lena eagerly returns the hug. “You did threaten to come carry me out of my office if I didn’t.” She teases Kara.

“I did what I had to do.” Kara pulls back from the hug and grabs Lena’s hand. “Come on.” She tugs Lena to the table. “Everyone is already here.”

“Oh my… How much has Winn had to drink?” Lena asks when she sees Winn trying to talk James into wrestling with him.

“Don’t ask.” Kara giggles as she plops into a seat.

Lena takes the seat next to Kara. “How much have you had to drink?”

“Luthor!” Maggie’s voice cuts off Kara’s chance to answer as she walks up to the table with Alex. They are both carrying drinks. “Nice of you to join us!” Her dimples are in full view.

“Oh! Hey, Lena!” Winn turns away from James. “When did you get here?”

Lena laughs. “Sometime between you telling James you could win wrestling with physics, and James having to catch you when you stumbled over your own feet while standing perfectly still.”

Winn’s mouth drops open as his eyes go wide. James claps him on the back, pushing him into a seat. “It’s alright, buddy. Maybe another time.”

“You need to catch up, Lena.” Alex pushes a shot glass in front of Lena. They are all sitting around the table now.

“Exactly how much catching up do I need to do?” Lena asks as she looks around the table at the different levels of intoxication.

“Depends on who you’re catching up to,” Maggie says before taking a sip of beer.

“What the hell?” Lena shrugs and picks up the drink in front of her. “It’s Friday night.” She throws back the shot without a grimace, and picks up another shot from the tray on the table before tipping that one back, too.

Maggie’s and Alex’s eyebrows both raise in unison. “Oh, shit. Things just got real.” Maggie holds out her hand to Lena. “Keys.”

“What?” Lena narrows her eyes in confusion.

“You’re not driving,” Maggie tells her.

Lena smirks. “My driver dropped me off.”

“Well, in that case…” Alex passes her another shot. “Let’s have some fun with this.”

“What kind of fun?” Kara asks as she accepts the tray Maggie hands her with the alien alcohol.

“Buzz!” Winn shouts enthusiastically.

“No,” James groans out. “Most of the people at this table are literal geniuses.”

“I don’t know if I’m up for doing math,” Kara interjects.

“I’m up for playing Buzz,” Lena says.

“Let’s play Buzz!” Kara loudly declares as her hands slam onto the table.

Alex and Maggie roll their eyes. “I’ll start,” Alex offers.

“Wait!” James interrupts. “Let’s also play Freeze.”

“Like for the rest of the night?” Winn asks thoughtfully.

“I’m game,” Maggie says.

“How do you play that?” Kara asks.

Lena places a hand on Kara’s before talking. “One person starts as Mr. Freeze. At any time, they can freeze. When you see them freeze, you have to as well. Last person to freeze takes a drink and becomes the new Mr. Freeze.”

“Ooo! Can I be it first?” Kara asks with a pout.

Alex rolls her eyes, and Maggie elbows her ribs. “Sure you can, Kara,” Maggie says with a smile.

They begin playing Buzz. James ends up being almost the only one to have to take a drink. It’s ten minutes before Kara freezes with her eyes wide open, biting her lip to keep from laughing. Lena is the first to notice. Her chin had been resting on her fist when Kara froze. Smirking, Lena goes still as well. After Alex says her number in Buzz, she notices and freezes. Maggie and James freeze at the same time. Winn looks at James in confusion when he doesn’t take his turn in Buzz.

“Crap!” He throws his hands up, and everyone else breaks into laughter. He takes a drink since he was the last one.

Buzz continues until everyone has taken at least one shot, and the laughter is flowing easily. Lena orders everyone more drinks, and they discuss playing another game.

“Never Have I Ever!” James suggests.

“Yes!” Kara claps in excitement. “I love that game!”

“Is it because you haven’t done much?” Maggie teases.

“No!” Kara huffs. “It’s just that I’m really good at it. I have never lost. Probably because- Crap!” Everyone is frozen around her, so she takes a drink. “That’s not fair.” The table breaks out into laughter.

“You’re it again, Kara.” Lena winks at her.

Maggie nudges Alex to get her to look at the glances being exchanged across the table. Alex makes fake gagging sounds. “What are friends for, my ass,” Alex grumbles under her breath. That causes Maggie to snort out a laugh, and all eyes turn to them. “I’ll go first! Let’s do ten fingers.” She holds up both hands. “I have never done vigilante work.”

“Low blow,” Winn mumbles as he takes a drink.

“You drink too, Kara.” Lena pats Kara’s thigh.

“What?” Kara asks with wide, innocent eyes.

“It counts.”

“No, it doesn’t!” Kara turns to look at everyone else.

“It counts,” they all say together before laughing.

It’s Maggie’s turn. “I’ve never made out with a guy.”

Grumbles come from all around the table as everyone except James and Maggie take a drink. Slowly, five pairs of wide eyes turn to Winn. He blinks at everyone as his hands fidget with his drink. “Telling stories isn’t part of the game,” he finally squeaks out. “Never have I ever-” He stops talking when he sees Kara and Lena freeze.

“Damn it,” James says as he takes a drink.

“Never have I ever had my own office.” He smiles apologetically at Lena. “Sorry… I was going after him.” He points at James.

“Never have I ever left Earth,” James says. Only Maggie and Lena are safe from that one.

Lena smirks at Kara before taking her turn. “Never have I ever destroyed someone’s invention.”

Kara groans. “I said I was sorry about that.” She takes a drink while glaring at Alex laughing at her. “I’ve never had a significant other write poetry about fighting for me.”

All eyes go to Alex, who takes a drink without breaking eye contact with Kara. “Never have I ever eaten an entire pizza in my sleep.”

“How am I losing?” Kara looks forlornly at her fingers, and Lena pats her back in comfort. “It’s okay, Kara. I can-”

That’s the last coherent thing Kara remembers.

Waking up, she rolls over onto her back with a groan and peaks her eyes open. When the sun light hits her eyes, she shuts them. Throwing an arm over her eyes, she takes a mental inventory of herself before trying to remember the previous night.

She lost Never Have I Ever.

And she was it in Freeze a lot.

Alex and her did a duet… with… a dance routine?

Was there a pushup competition? That doesn’t make sense. Who could go up against her?

There was a lot of… touching.

She remembers a hand being constantly on her.

A warm hand.

Something smelled really good… or was it someone?

Was someone in her lap?

Someone was definitely in her lap at some point.

Alex had yelled.

Then she wasn’t at the bar anymore.

How did she get home?

She rolls onto her side away from the where she senses the sunlight. Her arm flops over… onto something warm. No… Not something. That’s someone. Someone without clothes on. That’s skin. Her eyes fly open.

Black hair is fanned out on the pillow in front of her. “Oh.” Her arm is resting over a shapely hip. She jerks up to a sitting position, but the swift motion leads to an unpleasant churring in her stomach. The sheet slips off, and she realizes she’s naked. She freezes in shock, unsure of what to do. She is in Lena’s apartment… in Lena’s bed… naked… with a naked Lena… That usually means-

Groaning, Lena rolls over and faces Kara, but her eyes remain closed. After a moment, her eyes fly open. “Kara,” she breathes out.

Kara winces slightly. “Please tell me you remember last night.”

“I’m blanking after the strip tease you gave me at the bar.” Her voice is hoarse.

“What?” Kara turns to her in shock, and they both wince at the volume.

“I’m pretty sure Alex threw a chair at you before anything could be revealed… or was it a jacket?”

“Oh Rao… How much did we drink?”

“Too much.”

Kara groans again and flops back onto the bed. “Do you think we’ll hear about this from our friends?” She waves a hand between the two of them.

Lena moves closer to Kara, throwing a leg over Kara’s thighs and resting her head on a convenient shoulder. “Maybe, but if it makes you feel better, I remember taking a video of your sister trying to hit on Maggie as if she didn’t even know her.” Kara laughs. “So I don’t think we were the most embarrassing couple last night.”

Humming, Kara pulls Lena on top of her. “That does make me feel a little better.”

“Just a little?” Lena asks with a smirk, and Kara nods. “I’ll have to fix that.”

Prompt:  I want a fic where Kara and Lena get really fucking drunk and basically forget everything and end up waking up in bed together The twist? They were already dating in the first place, they just like each other so much.

4 Reasons To Hate The Startup Dedicated To Killing Corner Stores

4 Reasons To Hate The Startup Dedicated To Killing Corner Stores

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Every morning, the internet wakes up to see some asshole doing something stupid and cringeworthy, and all we can do is sigh and endlessly make fun of them until they go away. Yesterday, it was Ted Cruz’s horny late night habits, and today it’s two Silicon Valley dumbasses and their cool plan to put mom and pop shops out of business with their vending machine for boxing gloves.

Two ex-Googlers want to make bodegas and mom-and-pop corner stores obsolete t.co/FLaYGdwmFr pic.twitter.com/pqkWJ40xdW

— Fast Company (@FastCompany) September 13, 2017

The fine folks as Fast Company profiled the extremely-less-fine folks behind the tech startup “Bodega,” whose intent was to run actual bodegas out of business and replace them with Redbox for ramen and toilet paper. It was founded by two ex-Google employees, Paul McDonald and Ashwath Rajan, who felt the specific need to do a lot more evil in the world than they could manage at Google.

Bodega sets up five-foot-wide pantry boxes filled with non-perishable items you might pick up at a convenience store. An app will allow you to unlock the box and cameras powered with computer vision will register what you’ve picked up, automatically charging your credit card. The entire process happens without a person actually manning the “store.”

And, unsurprisingly, the whole internet is ripping on this objectively mean-spirited, bad idea. Here’s why:

1. It’s like a bodega, but much more complicated and is definitely going to fuck up and since there’s no human manning it

I mean, what could possibly go wrong with unmanned vending machines that require an app and facial recognition software? It’s not like:

Someone could open it with their app and then have a friend roll in and steal everything (so the person with the app has deniability)

People are gonna leave trash in them, or at least find ways to put an empty box of tampons in one and take out a full box to trick the machine

These small boxes are extremely unprepared to supply an area and will definitely run out of stuff you need FAST and there’s no way of knowing when they’ll be restocked

A new-ish service could be a little buggy and accidentally charge you for the wrong stuff and then you’ll have to go through some inane, tedious process of contacting customer support that will take hours

See? This is WAY better than going to a store and interacting with a human being. Can’t wait to go to open an app, get my face scanned by a company I have no reason to trust, and buy boxing gloves from an unmanned box.

if you replace my bodega with a fucking box i will launch you into the sun

2. It’s literally taunting homeless cats

Bodega not only wants to crush local convenience stores, it wants to MOCK THEM as they do it – that’s why they named their service “Bodega” and why they made their icon a cat: “bodega cats” are a common sight, basically just homeless cats that get regularly fed or cared for by bodega employees and become regulars there for food, warmth, and shelter.

Obviously, with the Bodega units, there would be no humans to offer these cats anything, nor any shelter for them to flee to when bad weather rolls in. The cats – like the mom & pop store employees – would be on their own. And this would all be bad enough, but by making a cat their icon, they are MAKING FUN OF THE CATS AND THEIR SHITTY SITUATION. C’mon.

Dear Bodega Cats,

Now’s the time to start the revolution.

3. Instead of supporting local businesses, you get to support two rich assholes who live in Silicon Valley who love mocking homeless cats

Sure – bodegas and mom & pop shops are a bit overpriced, but there’s a reason: they have to pay for labor (since there are actual people manning the stores) and for the property itself. The deal with Bodega is that it pays for neither – they convince property owners to let them install their units for free because it will bring convenience to residents or customers.

In most cases, Bodega doesn’t pay for the retail space, but pitches itself as an amenity or a convenience to property managers. At gyms for instance, McDonald makes the case that having a Bodega stocked with power bars and protein powder might make the facility more attractive to members. In dorms, a Bodega might be a more comprehensive alternative to a vending machine or a college-owned “honesty box” store. In apartments, a Bodega saves residents a trip to their local bodega. Within the current business model, Bodega does not have many fixed costs-besides installing the simple box itself-and makes money from the sale of each item.

The net effect is that you no longer support local business owners or employment in your area – instead, all of your money goes to these two (already rich) assholes who wouldn’t give you a second glance if you were starving by the side of the road. They want to crush local businesses, and in exchange you can save a dollar on single-ply toilet paper. What a great bargain!

“Look at all these minorities and families working hard to build something that we could just take if you fund us.” – the Bodega VC pitch

4. They sound like aliens observing humans for the first time

This isn’t really a knock against the service itself, but holy crap these dudes sound like some robots or aliens (or…robot-aliens?) who observed humanity for the first time and are commenting on their “strange behavior”:

In his initial observations of consumer behavior, he’s noticed that people seem to enjoy learning about new products. “One woman in a dorm stopped by the Bodega every day for a packet of microwave popcorn,” he says. “On day three, she picked up nail polish remover, and on day four, she picked up a cookie. This happened because she was coming into contact with these products every day.”

“Ah yes, humans require products, for both sustenance and pleasure. When they see products, they desire them – and exchange strange green pieces of paper for them. Curious.”

That combined with their hatred of cats makes me think these dudes are definitely aliens (ala Alf). We should not trust them. Protect local businesses, protect bodega cats.
