I’ve been doing business for years with a bank that’s big enough to have an arena. I think total, I’ve been charged 18 dollars in fees.

Does any of it have to do with the ever-larger impact of a single NBA player? Like, NFL free agency doesn’t feel like it has the same power either, because a Khalil Mack or Bryce Harper will never be an instant conference championship ticket like a Lebron could. Exceptions of course, but on average.

I hate the NCAA (as well as Duke) and the bullshit as well but this line is flat out bullshit:

Yes to soft/chewy bacon! Crispy bacon is the worst!

Nonsense. Moral outrage over lame unfunny jokes that don’t really affect anyone are far more important than quality journalism. You’d be an idiot to pay for something like The Athletic versus coming across this free, inconsequential gem that no one would care about or otherwise notice and spend your time in the…

The way I read the response is that Salty is educated the writer to the fact that the bottle is priced the way it is to cover the overhead of the restaurant. The same reason the food is priced the way it is. The markup on the bottle is no less standard than the food markup.

...and 5 years from now tip 25% or stay home, and then in 10 years tip 30%, or stay home.

What an absurd answer from a normally reasonable column.

Since when are we rounding a decent 18% tip to 20% and still throwing shades? Next year y’all gon be telling me 25% tip or gtfo. 

Entitled servers expecting 20 to 25 percent on every order, else they think the customer is a cheap fuck, give the industry a bad reputation. It’s that attitude that will ensure your job is rapidly replaced by a more efficient machine with no bad attitude

If you think 18 percent is a bad tip, you're clearly entitled in your mindset. I worked for tips for years back in the day when 10 to 15 percent was standard. Ain't nothing about the job changed in the mean time. The prices of food have gone up considerably, ensuring a higher dollar amount on your tips, but the…

No, I thought it was “Dog-E” like “doggy” for the longest time too.  I never pronounced it “Doge” because I couldn’t figure out any reason to compare that dog to a “doge” or “duke” title.

It is true that when one group is in the majority and wields all of the social, political and economic power of a society, that it is impossible for the minority group to oppress the majority because it has minimal power. Oppression requires advantage and power. This is the nature of systematic societal racial…

“Republicans: We believe in _________.*”

You are dumb bud.

I prefer the term, “Nut Juice”. Though, that might be a problem for advertising.

So many people now start a comment with “nope” or “no,” as if to say, “Jane, you ignorant slut, you are a misinformed moron... the truth is, ....” A simple, “Actually, they clean because.....” would have been much more civil.

No and you also can’t eat the appreciation of your house. The article is ridiculous, housing values appreciating don’t mean anything unless you sell and move somewhere that homes are more affordable or you inherit a house and sell it. You can sell stock, better to invest in that and rent than complain about housing…

Please. A huge percentage of that list is vague (i.e. “Worked to increase defense spending”) or highly debatable (i.e. withdrawing from Paris Climate Accords) or not an accomplishment at all (i.e. the last three bullets where traveling is apparently a major accomplishment). And the list of things he’s made worse…
