I know we are not supposed to judge people based on the tatoos and piercings that they have but that guy is definately unemployable.

What possible affect could it have on anyone's lives? If you're determining your scientific or life views by shadowing Kate Mulgrew you've got bigger problems.
She was captain of a Starfleet Starship, and should know better.

She screwed up the whole thing on her very first day.

Seriously, she was captain of a Starfleet ship for literally a few hours before it all became a catastrophic failure. If she hadnt been flung to the other side of the galaxy or whatever she'd have been totally fired.

How does the guy with all the holes in his face drink? It would just spill out everywhere. I guess you could use a straw, but not every drink is good that way. I'm guessing soup is out of the question. Most solid food should be okay, but you'd still lose a bunch. That just boggles my mind.

Can you imagine the horror show that it would be to watch him eat? Or be near him when he has a cold?

Actually Noodle Box near Costco south looks to hire people with tattoo's and piercings as a preference. They are bias to people who have made these decisions.

His teeth are likely going to rot from being exposed like that.

He'll probably be dead in a ditch long before then anyway though.

Driver of SUV that hit cyclists suing dead teen’s family
'Her enjoyment of life has been and will be lessened,' suit claims

But Brandon’s father, Derek Majewski, was gobsmacked this week when he walked out of his lawyer Brian Cameron’s office having just learned that, as he put it, “my dead son and the boys are being sued by the woman that killed him because she is distraught.

I understand that the investigation concluded that the driver was not at fault and noted that the cyclists were not properly protected, but come on... I hope she loses and has to pay for the other family's legal expenses.

You would think that they would just want to move on. Why go back and drag through all of this again?

Their suit alleges Sharlene Simon was speeding, under the influence or texting at the time of the accident, and that Jules Simon allowed her to drive the SUV when “he knew or ought to have known” she was in no condition to do so.
The investigation stated that it was kids lack of reflectors that contributed to the accident.

Still a ####ty move, but it is more complex than a money grab I think
