          Magic is fueled by bees. It is known.

          That’s why there is so much less magic in the world now. We’ve got to do something about the epidemic of bee colony death if we want magic to be restored to the world.

        Yeah. That’s weird. The point of the books is that Quentin’s kind of a dick but the tv series makes it so that he has to be in order to express his true authentic soul. I say creative types shouldn’t be allowed to make movies.

            Do we even know Jason lost his job as a TA? I thought the board just has hearsay from Penny, who admitted she made it up “for funsies” after she got caught, thinking he’d never do it. Even if the board starts asking questions, it’s not like Sal would narc on him.

            Hasn’t he just been assuming the worst from the beginning?

              He’s been a no-show for a few days now AND the department knew enough to have a sub TA there for the first day he was gone, so yes, he’s lost his job.

      In the words of the immortal Bob Dylan, to live outside the law you must be honest.

      It’s not legal for Jason to work at an off-campus job in the USA, and it’s also not legal for him to work as a bartender in Indiana. So he’s not about to have his cover blown by an obviously underaged patron at the bar.

          Most foreign students attending US schools are in the US on either an F-1 or a J-1 visa. Both of those visas permit on-campus employment, subject to prior approval and with numerous restrictions.

          If Jason has been fired from his TA job, he doesn’t lose the visa but he doesn’t gain the right to work off-campus. In fact, by accepting off-campus employment, he has put his visa status in jeopardy.

          Which is not to say that it couldn’t happen. It could, and he might get away with it indefinitely. But current F-1 or J-1 visa holders should consult a qualified and experienced advisor before following Jason’s example.

            Crap. I meant to delete “J-1” from my above post, as the J-1 is a very different sort of beast with lots of variations, many of them not necessarily involving on-campus employment. But the same principle still stands: when you’re on the US on a student visa, you cannot do any paid work that is not approved in advance.

        Actually, I think he needs to take that beer away and cut the other customer off if they keep doing it.

            August 13, 2018 at 5:58 pm | #

            Yeah, it really does. In fact, in this case, his job is kicking her out of the bar section of the restaurant.

            Even if she was sitting at a table though, the one adult at the table couldn’t order an extra drink for her. If she took a sip while no one was looking, that’s one thing, but something this blatant? Not going to fly.

    Yeah at 17 – 20 I would go to a bar/restaurant on weekends since it was easier to get away with older men buying drinks if they also served food at the establishment. Especially on a karaoke night.

    Sal seems to have the gift of one of my friends which was people would literally just hand her drinks and shit without even hitting on her or talking to her at all. She’d just be handed random shit by just existing. Then I’d have to deal with men actually talking to me…bleh

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).
