I don’t know if it’s a plus, really. The restaurant fired the dude, and didn’t open themselves up to further risk by naming him. The plus would be someone outing him, and letting all future hirings be educated by the waiter’s actions.

Don’t you realize how many jobs were created by making those decisions? I mean, if they hadn’t hired their second cousin to help them decide their on-brand style color choice approved jet, what would that poor darling be doing, but begging for change on the street? And what about the probably millions, maybe, that

Don’t forget bubonic plague! They’re a quite long lasting reservoir for it, apparently.

While I’m not always happy with Baker (pro charter school expansion proposition that failed to pass, frex), it’d be nice to acknowledge that he’s a Republican in this case, for contrast.

That is absolutely some sovereign citizen straw man nonsense right there. Which fits right in with the non sequitur that delivered it up in the first place.

I dunno, guns are relatively expensive toys, and require upkeep if you’re going to keep up with shooting practice at the range.

... or a TurboGrafx Express?

Even assuming he is, there are instinctive actions that bullies take, like this, that are similar to gaslighting and projection. “He did it, too!” “Stop hitting yourself!” “Everybody’s just out to get me, for no reason!”

Even a high schooler... one that’s living with a parent covering room and board, or that’s supporting their parent’s room and board? Or is there no qualifier on that at all?

It’s some sovereign citizen stuff, for sure...

I mean, it’s not like he was lying about something of substance, y’know, like having sexual relations. /s

It’s interesting, the ability and need to pass for plain white, instead of preempting the possibility of hearing “no, I mean, where are you really from?” Which you can hear echoes of in in the “... but you don’t look Asian.”

Yep. Vaguely similar to, in some cases, not having a gun (in rancher-land), not having access to the insides of your car or phone, not having access to a library, not having access to the internet, etc. The standard for these things isn’t that one cannot live without, but that one should not be told by the government

No, no, we’ll be paying Mexicans to build it, so they’ll be paying us by providing the labor. I think that’s how it goes, anyway...

You go to steal some of the presents, right? I bet it’s to share in the booty.

Counterpoint - the popularity of the Duggars, the tenet that “go forth and multiply” leads a culture to squeeze out other cultures if the population growth rate is higher, that children are miraculous presents from the ghost of Santa Claus...

Was is this girl?

Credits are for after you’ve already paid, so the upper-middle-income families, for sure. Actual middle and lower-middle, not so much, or at least with the pressures of the type found in the “being poor is expensive” category. Rebates vs. coupons.

I haven’t heard the “an armed society is a polite society” in awhile on national messaging... I wonder when that conflation died down. I do still hear it from specific individuals locally from time to time, hollow though it rings with the increased exposure of mass and not-so-mass shootings.
