My mom is very brusque (with everybody, honestly) but it’s real awkward to eat out with her sometimes because servers in the Midwest don’t know how to interpret it, since they expect her to just be a normal midwestern mom. I feel your pain.

God(dess) bless the Massholes!

I mean yeah, that’s the main thing. There’s so many people in line that I really can’t be friendly or the guy 20min deep in the line will get pissed and scream at me for taking too long. Plus keeping up the fake customer personality I’ve always had to use before gets too exhausting with that volume of people.

I mostly find it creepy due to the subservience it connotes. Like, all the servers have to bow and kneel before me, The Mighty Patron, and if I am displeased they shall feel my wrath, bwahahaha! It makes me feel gross to have someone treat me like I’m Cersei Lannister, so I much prefer the brisk efficiency of east…

Not exactly related but: I hail from the middle of the USA and recently started working in customer service in NYC, and the difference is staggering. My whole training week I could not get over how rude my coworkers (and boss!) were allowed to be to customers; it was amazing. Back in the Midwest I had to essentially…

fuck this, adult stuff is too hard, I am going to work in the mediocre world of children’s programming

No, you said you used to enjoy it but now you realize that it’s cheap, easy, a gimmick, and that people who engage in BDSM are bad at sex. I asked for clarification, if you really meant everyone who enjoys BDSM is bad at sex, and you doubled down to call them cheap and easy.

No where did I say all conservatives. I said specifically that I saw these comments from people on the Fox news FB page, those are the only people I’m talking about.

Whenever I go to FB comments on any Fox article on the survivors who are speaking out, there are tons of comments about them being brats, punks, whiners, entitled, tantrum-throwers, etc. The “pussies” comment was on a video of David Hogg speaking, who people seem to feel comfortable maligning because they believe he’s…

So because you don’t enjoy it, you don’t believe it’s possible anyone else can? And those who do enjoy BDSM are cheap and easy? That’s a pretty fucked up worldview.

You joke, but that’s not even close to the worse stuff the conservatives are saying.

Not trying to be snarky at all, genuinely curious: what’s your issue with the header?

If you don’t like BDSM, don’t do it. And if someone tries to shame you for it, they’re giant assholes. But this?

Hugfart has been trolling all weekend, feel free to dismiss them.

I’m related to somebody who owns one of those, they’re pretty common in the area I hail from, have been for years.

I mean, I struggle with that feeling too sometimes. When life knocks you down enough times, you stop trying to get back up because it just doesn’t feel worth it anymore. And especially if everyone you know is down as well, and has been down for generations, as is the case in areas with massive amounts of…

Sean Penn’s instagram is run by a mystery woman?

Agreed, I’ve never had a problem getting mine very fizzy. The room temp also has an effect on carbonation.

I was under the impression that kombucha actually originated in Russia, not Japan? Although I don’t know what the Russians called it.

Wait, is that really Sean Penn’s instagram??
