Yeah. Creative decision here is code for "Brandon gets a contractual salary bump if he does another season."

I think it was a typo. It should have been "Liberty University."

Christ, how slow do you think people should be allowed to write? If you can’t jot down a legible paragraph to communicate very simple information in less than a minute you are functionally illiterate, and businesses without pens and at least scratch paper don’t deserve to stay in business..

While this is true in my Portland experience as well (I’ve seen BK flush locations in high-traffic areas because so few people want what they offer), I’ve also sat in front of a Burger King drive-thru window for 10 minutes where there was never anyone else in front of us. I honestly don’t know if that particular…

In the GOP, anyone who takes the time to put fake numbers on posterboard qualifies.

It can be hard to get them to stop telling you to consider eating some shrimp instead.

Of course it’s different. The Popeye’s chicken sandwich is perfectly fine with LGBTQ people having all the same rights and privileges as heterosexual people.

I hope that you, your misplaced anger, and your strawman have a lovely party together.

Fast food places in general seem to have a lot of trouble with mayo and mayo-based sauces. For example, at McDonald’s nearly every sandwich is sauced just fine, but the McChicken and Filet-o-Fish sandwiches seem often to get double the mayo/tartar sauce anyone would ever want. When Jack in the Box briefly had a fish…

Of course it’s shitty behavior, and of course it’s not the host’s fault when a guest does something shitty.

It does seem strange that they’d let this nonsense go on for so long without stopping it. This isn’t the 60s when bills and other paperwork could just get lost or not filled out at all. Someone completely failed to monitor her budget, which seems impossible in this age when my credit card company can instantly…

You can hope they’re respectful, but I think expecting it is just a setup for disappointment. Not only because some people are rude assholes, but because we’re all raised differently and shaped by different experiences. I was raised, for example, by people who were pretty strict about eating etiquette, like chewing…

No, she hasn’t. Something can be wrong and still be expected. While you might trust, say, your 4-6 best friends not to take liberties, you can’t necessarily expect everyone else who might attend a party in your home to be as respectful. Unless you’re pretty restrictive when it comes to party invitations, you probably…

You might want to check into your local synagogue’s athletic policies. I’ll bet they’re not as intolerant as you’re projecting.

No, if I'm being intellectually honest, I note that anyone using the word "lifestyle" in this context is attempting to justify hate.

Where did I use the word “Christians?” Unlike yourself, I’m capable of differentiating between specific hatemongers and religions.

You’re wrong on almost every level. Chick-fil-A is a privately held company and its profits have been used, and almost certainly continue to be used, to support anti-LGBTQ causes. Dan Cathy isn’t just a hired-gun CEO; he and his family own the company.

I don’t have a problem with any of that and I totally get the desire to shut down attempted pickups before they start. That said, substituting that indication for a verbal “I’m busy” (or similar brush-off) when someone has addressed you is by definition rude. It’s okay to be rude, especially if one has been hassled…

Exactly. While there’s no excuse for outright ignoring a server, if someone is on their phone then they’re not - at that moment - looking to engage with anyone IRL. If I go to a bar alone, it’s entirely valid for me to use my phone for entertainment while having a drink or four.

I disagree.  Too many college players are escaping before they develop CTE.  We need more professional football teams so that those men can get their brains properly, fully damaged.
