My kids would always peel off the tape. So I start dropping superglue into the speaker holes. Same results and it’s tamper proof.

One thing I discovered years ago that has only been reinforced repeatedly is that little kids like talking to me partly because I use the exact same language with them as I do with adults. I don’t change my tone and I don’t simplify my word choices. They might have to ask me what a word means, but, you know, they…

I get the idea of calling folks on being pretentious, however dumbing down your language skills so you don’t appear to be elitist is short-minded. Yes some people get offended because I use words they don’t understand but this in English and not everything needs to be expressed solely in lyrics from a country or rap…

Yep.  When I’m done, I wanna go.  Now.

So, we won’t be trying that mirroring shit on you now, is that right?

Make small talk. It’s exhausting but that’s what does it.

Keep my glass full. Don’t ask me how everything is as I’m shoving food into my mouth, and get my order correct. Be friendly without being too friendly. And when I ask for my tab, don’t make me wait forever, and don’t make me wait forever to come back for it. I think the longer a customer has to wait for a card to be…

Also, when other people refuse to actively assist you in spreading misinformation, it’s “censorship.”

The problem with a lot of these people is that if it doesn’t “feel” right to them, then it has to be wrong.  Feelings always trumps facts with them.

These dullards are part of the current American zeitgeist where people seem to think that their dumb, horrible opinions are as good as the actual expertise of specialists. See also: anti-vax jags, anti-trans fuckos, and every single “flat earth” dolt.
