On the one hand, this. Read more

as usual, AdamVIP comes up with a “solution” that doesn’t work because he massively over-simplifies the problem. Read more

On paper, that is the logical response, but in practice that doesn’t always work. A brilliant summary of pricing that I have seen is a high end place picks their ingredients and charges what they need based on it. For most other places, they pick the dish they want to serve and the price then figure out what quality… Read more

No, the third-party delivery apps need to raise their prices to consumers. The restaurant is doing 95% of the labor already, on a razor-thin margin, during a pandemic (or not!). They shouldn’t also have to juggle multiple pricing schemes for in-person dining, takeout, and third-party delivery. Which they’d have to do,… Read more

The only way out of this mess is through it. Steer into it. Make an entire series of beers labeled with various cultures’ words for pubes. Sell each sixer with a merkin beer koozie. 

There’s still an element of a desire to control here. At the end of the day, “I can’t reward great service” and “I can’t punish poor service” are inevitably two sides of the same coin. And if the responses here are self-reported, well, I’m not terribly surprised that a lot of people chose to present their reticence as… Read more

I want to know how Morn became a rakishly charismatic holovision soap opera star/”Who Wants to Be A Latinumaire?” Host.

The problem with the movies is that they can only focus on a handful of characters in a given installment. This wasn’t an issue with the TOS movies, because maybe 90% of TOS was centered on Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. The TNG movies’ biggest problem that TNG was a true ensemble show, while the movies focused on Picard,… Read more

No. It’s 100% on point. The films are often too focused on pew-pew space battles and big-budget VFX...often to the detriment of what makes Star Trek, well, Star Trek — exploration, character relations, the human condition, etc, etc. Read more

Star Trek has never been particularly successful as a film franchise. Oh, it’s had a few hits, but adjusting on its ratio for hits and misses, well, they’ve been at their best when they’ve been at their lowest budgets. (TWOK famously shot on roughly a TV production budget)

If a song ain’t your thing it doesn’t make you a prude or old. Read more

Oh good, I'm just old then 😂 carry on!!!

As a Dad of two teens, I used to ponder this stuff too. Eventually you just figure they get to an age where they are exposed to EVERYTHING, so you hope some of the stuff with better messages registers...

No one called him an asshole, dude... taking a WILD guess at your gender here, because you’ve missed the point so broadly.

Ohhh do Margaret Morris and Minnie Randell next! 

his first love will always be the “C”

every article like this that comes about reminds me of the bit in the simpsons where it’s revealed that mr burns is only alive bc all of the various diseases in his body are all acting in perfect counter-balance to each other and prevent any one ailment from taking over completely. there are simply too many things… Read more

Some of those jokes are cerealously bad.

PLEASE include either the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or some other relevant resource when posting articles that discuss suicide or self harm. It is genuinely not that hard. It seems that Jezebel has fully committed to not including this information on recent articles addressing suicide. Read more
