It’s tricky to get a handle on, because some of us swear so fucking much that even the shittiest words we ever learned slip out all the goddamn time. Then of course there’s in-group usage, where black people use the n-word with each other and women use the c-word with each other in a sort of bid to reclaim or at least…

I once worked in a restaurant with mostly disposable dishes. It’s a whole different ballgame in terms of cleaning up, but even so, I don’t know where you get the idea of a cart for clearing dishes. That is not how it’s done, for a variety of good reasons, and thus it does take several people or several trips to the…

Especially since we’re talking about a state with no law schools.

In quarantine, I hope.

You don’t work in a restaurant, do you?

Hate to break it to you, but the managers are forced to do that too. It’s not that they don’t trust their staff, it’s that the higher-ups will literally dock their pay if they don’t “touch” every table. I encourage you to tell corporate how you feel, as that’s the only way things are likely to change.

I’m guessing you like a lot of caramel in your frappuccino.

Like a lot of things, this depends on context. Several people have already mentioned the key factors in favor of stacking: if you’re in a casual dining restaurant, if you do it right by stacking the biggest plates on the bottom, then small plates, then bowls, then silverware (never stack glasses, and never stack…

Naw, stay! Have a drink!

Every word of this article is why I love you. Well, except the words that were written by that limp dick you quoted whose name isn’t even worth repeating. But reading your point-by-point takedowns made those parts worthwhile, at least.

There are plenty of us; we just don’t make the news. Also, most of the non-liberal folks don’t engage in this kind of batshittery, either; most OC people are fiscal conservatives with an almost sociopathic indifference to everything that isn’t about increasing their wealth. They’re pleasant enough to make small talk…

It was a very affluent wedding. Top of a hotel overlooking the ocean, 15 piece swing band, at least 4 open bar stations, sit down steak dinner. One of the top 5 weddings I have been too in terms of money spent.

CA lawyer, but with family and some law school friends in NY. Why you guys gotta be so weird with your court system? ;-)

Hmm, then I think Tina’s instinct is right and you are expected to tip the server normally, with the tip jar possibly being for take-out. It’s OK to ask in these situations. “How should I tip my server—is it better to leave it on the table or in here?” (gesturing to the tip jar.) They can then tell you if tipping is…

It’s actually more complicated than that, though you’re right that in this case, it’s Judge Smith. In the federal system, trial courts (district courts) and the mid-level appeals courts (circuit courts) have judges, while only SCOTUS has justices. But in the state system, only the trial courts (usually called superior…

BUT IF YOU LOOK UP HARASSMENT IN THE DICTIONARY...

There is no more eloquent way to say this. I mean that sincerely. You are awesome.

I had a preschool classmate once who taught me that if you smelt it, there was an increased probability that you dealt it. Wise beyond his years, that one.

As much as I think this is vile, he might actually have a case. I haven’t kept up with the coverage of the defamation suits, but if all he did was state opinions and/or true facts, it probably doesn’t rise to the level of defamation.

Also, being opposed to birth control makes it clear that your opposition to abortion has nothing to do with saving the lives of “babies.” And since you’ve already lied once, I’m not inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to assessing why you’re really against those things.
