Fast food fries (especially McDonalds) are only edible within 5 minutes of them being served. If there is an effective way to rejuvenate them, it had eluded me. 

“Summa cum laude at Liberty University and this is what I’m doing.”

He didn’t pay for it.  He just didn’t.  We know enough to know that he didn’t pay.  He’s not a billionaire.  We already know that too.  But they keep trying with the message... ugh.

The bit that gets me is that in the time in took to bring that food through all the layers of security and long hallways, then fussed over and arranged before being actually served, all the hot food would be room temperature and the soda ice would be halfway to water.

2 of those 4 are wrong. 

They have been doing it for a while already. Because they don't fucking know how tariffs work. 

I’ve run out of ways to say it.

I don’t understand. Why would someone have unread books (that they don’t plan to read) lying around?

Tese two were harassing this person in front of the bartender and customers because they didn’t think it was wrong or anyone would care... Let that sink in.

For the past two years President Dipshit has been blathering on like an idiot about how Mexicans are rapist-terrorist-murderers until last night and suddenly he’s all worried about the poor little brown babies.

This is exactly what I teach my children. Words are just words unless they are used as a weapon. Using words to hurt, if they are swears or not, is never ok.

For us it was about intent. Don’t use words to injure, whether it’s swearing or not.

“Oh, shit. I forgot my homework” is OK

I didn't swear until I learned to drive, but mostly because my parents didn't swear (and not even in the word replacement hiding it way) and none of my few friends did either. I'll say "frick" all the time just because I feel it's important to save the more powerful words for when REALLY bad things happen. I'm not…

I remember finding the F word written in a schoolbook in the third grade and asking my dad what it meant. He blew up at me. I sobbed because I had no idea what I did wrong.  So, whatever you do - don’t do that.

Actually, in my experience, they hear it from adults, usually the adults that then freak out about a kid using a swear word, before they ever get to school and internet exposures. True story. A childless friend was OUTRAGED that a neighbor kid wrote an expletive in chalk on another neighbor’s sidewalk. She said the…

The whole notion of curse words is so strange. The only reason they have any power is because we assign it to them. My daughter is too young to be in this position but when she gets older I won’t scold her for cursing, if she curses at school and gets in trouble for it I will explain to her why she got in trouble and…

I have a hard time understanding the “Where did you learn that?!” mentality. They learned it from other kids! From tv and the internet! From overhearing you in the other room! From passing by adults in public spaces! Every kid is going to pick up a bad habit somewhere, no matter how much you try to control for it.

So because it only hoses a small minority of people, it’s ok?

There’s a large chunk of the population that think they are one step away from being in that top 1% of the 1%, and god forbid they have to pay more taxes to be there.

I usually know when I am right if most of my comment replies are filled with personal attacks. If you can’t prove me wrong with facts, then just fire away the insults. Flack jacket is back on....
