Magic is either the product of sadness and madness (Adventure Time), advanced technology (Third Law of Clarke), an art/science/chaos thing (The Witcher), or something SpongeBob discovered below a well.
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.
She DID have the reality-warping powers…but she wanted to get caught. The reality-warping powers came into play when the police arrived and treated her appropriately.
^ THIIIIIIIIIIIS. She’s a black girl who robbed a store in Indiana with a knife, and she’s not dead. That was the start of her journey into reality-warping. :p
^^^ This makes me sad and confused on many different levels.
I first misread that as India, then my brain said no, that is more a middle east thing, then my brain updated and said no, girls are not allowed out of the house in the first place.
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?
I believe he was put on suspension or something up until the tribunal or w/e? It’s been a while, but I don’t think it’s been long enough in-story for the hearing to even happen.
It hasn’t, but he’s not trying to fight the charges because they are true, even if Penny said it just for the purpose of being an asshole. *He* knows that he actually did it, and he can’t bring himself to lie about it to defend himself. So he isn’t even going to try.
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.
That’s one of the reasons I love the interaction between Billie and Walky (and to a lesser extent, Becky and Walky) so much. Their spoken words are nothing but insults and smartassery – but the there is A LOT of communication going on.
Nah, Jason’s good here. At this point, it’s up to the owner or bouncer to bounce her out, because the bartender told her no, took the beer away, and another patron handed her a beer.
Actually, I think he needs to take that beer away and cut the other customer off if they keep doing it.
You can’t sell drinks to people who are giving them to underage people. That’s much too easy a hack around the laws.
I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I’m reasonably sure that your obligation as a seller doesn’t extend to subsequently policing who they then give it to.
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.
Yup. If they’re buying or giving or you believe they’re buying or giving alcohol to minors, you’re not allowed to sell. Jason should be kicking both out of the bar section.
See Jason… She is Sal. The girl can ride a bike with a second passenger and rescue a superheroine in mid air. She is an apathetic cool girl that only does what looks cool, and is cool enough to hang out with nerds without some sense of entitled cool kid. Malaya is really wrong about Sal.
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

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.

Shame Sal didn’t know how to warp reality when she was younger.
Could have just entered that convenience store and let the clerk voluntarily empty the register for her.
As the Magicians say, magic is fueled by pain so Sal learned it that way.
Wait, so it’s not fueled by potato chips? Well, shit.
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.

Magic is either the product of sadness and madness (Adventure Time), advanced technology (Third Law of Clarke), an art/science/chaos thing (The Witcher), or something SpongeBob discovered below a well.

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.
On the whole, I believe Hollywood takes your advice to heart.
If they had a heart, or a brain or hadn’t substituted sheer unadulterated audacity for courage.
Sal is the Fonz. Once she became cool, it all came to her.
She sacrificed Ethan to the Chaos Gods. He just hasn’t realized he died.
I feel like calling Mike a god is a bit much.
Agreed. Mike is his own category.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike knew Sal and encouraged her to act out like Satan.
She DID have the reality-warping powers…but she wanted to get caught. The reality-warping powers came into play when the police arrived and treated her appropriately.
^ THIIIIIIIIIIIS. She’s a black girl who robbed a store in Indiana with a knife, and she’s not dead. That was the start of her journey into reality-warping. :p
^^^ This makes me sad and confused on many different levels.
I first misread that as India, then my brain said no, that is more a middle east thing, then my brain updated and said no, girls are not allowed out of the house in the first place.
Strangely, I think this might be the healthiest interaction these two have ever had with each other.
Sal is happy she can hate him directly now.
Pfft, teaching job never stopped her before.
sal, beer ninja
The rules don’t apply to Sal because she is Sal.
So, what, she’s Seto Kaiba? Does she have an inordinate obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragons?
Are his eyes blue? On my monitor they all look black.
Mind you he is very white and he could be a Mason.
*lines up some pub rock on the jukebox*
In a disastrous twist, Jason turns out to be the only one in the bar that is immune to Sal’s coolness.
(Well I guess alt text implies Billie is there but it’s not like she would stop Sal from drinking)
Yes, Sal, insult the girl you’re attracted to. That works.
Jason. Sadly, the above is more interesting.
To be honest, I think Sal would take it as a compliment.
What’s she going to do, unfuck him? I don’t get the impression there’s much of a future there, regardless.
Also, unfucking him would mean he could get his job back.
He lost his job based on an accusation with no proof, the fact that it was true is just a coincidence. Unfucking him would change nothing
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?
Jason just doesn’t intend to fight the charges because they ARE true. He has a sort of sense of honor that wouldn’t allow him to lie on that.
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.
I believe he was put on suspension or something up until the tribunal or w/e? It’s been a while, but I don’t think it’s been long enough in-story for the hearing to even happen.
It hasn’t, but he’s not trying to fight the charges because they are true, even if Penny said it just for the purpose of being an asshole. *He* knows that he actually did it, and he can’t bring himself to lie about it to defend himself. So he isn’t even going to try.
“So, wait, how’s this supposed to work?”
“Basically we do the mirror of the last two times. Every time I went in last time I have to pull out instead and vice-versa.”
“Eh, sure, why not, I’m game.”
“Also, we have to switch out the hate for happy.”
“Nope, that’s a dealbreaker. Bye!”
Points to Jason for at least TRYING to be a responsible bartender.
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.
handing a drink over without carding will also get the establishment severely fined in some states as well. Hooray for undercover cops
We can be moderately certain that Sal is not an undercover cop.
Do we know he has a work permit restricting him to campus jobs (is there even such a thing?)?
A student visa might restrict him to campus jobs.
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.
Thanks for explaining. Never thought that students visa could forbid you to hold the jobs necessary to pay for your tuition.
Oh he F’d-1 alright.
ARGH! I’m imagining a Clippy slipshine now! Ctrl-z! CTRL-Z!
It looks like you’re trying not to think about a sentient paperclip in a sexual manner. Would you like help?
It’s been literally decades since I thought of the old Salmon Days web series:
Hey, it looks like you’re writing a letter!
Delicious Taffy, I love your comment so very, *very* much.
Of course he also knows that she’s an incredible lightweight and he won’t be able to walk/carry her home this time, since he’s working.
Sal bought that beer in Canada and rode her bike back to Indiana without spilling a drop.
Isn’t it 19 in canada?
Depends on what part.
In Quebec, Manitoba, and Alberta it’s 18.
Sal is a force of nature.
He doesn’t realize how fortunate he was to have the force with him for the brief time that he did.
Sal’s trick is that she’s no nonsense, zero spin, and thus has an affinity for boozons.
Physics is no match for the power of biker gloves
The only thing that can match a biker glove is a matching biker glove.
…..
*tries to decide if that’s deep or not*
Oh, it’s deep alright.
Oh Jason, you think you can stop her lol
Having seen the first ep of Milo Murphy Season 2, I’d say Sal has a certain thing in common with Phineas and Ferb!
Sal’s superpower is the ability to get booze without even trying. Billie wishes she had this power.
Sal has bested Jason to be the current Doctor Who of alcohol.
When you’re lucky. Things just sorta work out. Questioning it, might bite you in the ass.
I ship it. Especially now that he’s not her T.A. — which was more problematic for me than her underage drinking . . .
But is Billie more upset by Sal getting beer, or by Sal getting hit on by bar midday pizzeria bar randos? Because I feel like both could be an issue.
That beer and those randos are rightfully Billie’s!
This.
Local woman too cool to care about the laws of physics, nature or mankind.
Some people have just got it, Jason. Sal seems to have it in spades!
Green clothes..? Ruth?
Unlikely – no freckles.
I love how they manage to have a conversation despite their lines at no point connecting.
True communication is an art form.
That’s one of the reasons I love the interaction between Billie and Walky (and to a lesser extent, Becky and Walky) so much. Their spoken words are nothing but insults and smartassery – but the there is A LOT of communication going on.
Of course she likes him better serving her beer than teaching her math.
Sorta flips a certain historical dynamic, if you follow me.
He’s not serving her. She’s getting her alcohol from generous patrons.
In fact, just the opposite. he’s swiping her beer.
I’ve got the feeling that this will be a universal preference on the part of all of the students.
So we now begin round 2 of “Jason gets fired because of Sal”.
(Yes I know it was totally his fault last time, not saying otherwise.)
“Ah didn’t tell nobody about what we did!”
“I’m not saying that you did! But it’s still your fault! Because my self-image won’t let me admit that it’s mine!”
“Ah’m glad that we have this clarity an’ honesty!”
Nah, Jason’s good here. At this point, it’s up to the owner or bouncer to bounce her out, because the bartender told her no, took the beer away, and another patron handed her a beer.
Actually, I think he needs to take that beer away and cut the other customer off if they keep doing it.
You can’t sell drinks to people who are giving them to underage people. That’s much too easy a hack around the laws.
I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I’m reasonably sure that your obligation as a seller doesn’t extend to subsequently policing who they then give it to.
It might in this case, since it’s happening right at the bar. It’s not like Sal is outside and someone is ferrying the drinks to her.
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.
Yup. If they’re buying or giving or you believe they’re buying or giving alcohol to minors, you’re not allowed to sell. Jason should be kicking both out of the bar section.
Eh I still ship it
New theory – Sal is originally from one of the previous universes with her powers manifesting in slightly different ways here.
See Jason… She is Sal. The girl can ride a bike with a second passenger and rescue a superheroine in mid air. She is an apathetic cool girl that only does what looks cool, and is cool enough to hang out with nerds without some sense of entitled cool kid. Malaya is really wrong about Sal.
Now I know what the glove on Sal’s right hand is for. It’s to cover up the fact that she had a built-in wet bar installed.
Oh wow or that stab wound :/
Never really considered they might be functional
He’s becoming self aware of comic physics, execute plan J
I don’t know if this counts as *breaking* the 4th wall, but it’s definitely being hit with a sledgehammer.
Not really. It’s just a case of Mike’s arm being in two places at the same time.
But really, cute young girl being given beers by bar patrons seems a low standard for breaking the 4rth wall.
Too late, she already taken a sip. For Sal, that might as well have been a 12-pack.
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
As an Englishman, he’s never seen a beautiful woman before.
Sal is an Asgardian now?
