I agree with the privacy curtains for everyone idea. I tried to make sure I had gym last period, because I sure as hell wasn’t going to take a shower in front of everyone. I would be even more against it if I was in school now in the age of smartphones. I was bullied and can totally see some of those monsters snapping…
I’ve never met a vegan (to my knowledge), but I’ve met plenty of vegetarians that couldn’t resist wrinkling up their nose at my choice of food, telling me that meateaters stink (as in body odor), or cluttering up my feeds with propaganda. It wasn’t all of them and usually it was early on (in their militant phase), but…
Well, I’m also black and drove a beat up hoopty in a predominantly white area. I was too paranoid of getting pulled over to ever chance it.
I must just look really square, because I never got offered weed/liquor and I delivered in the Point Loma/Ocean Beach area.
I don’t even want to think what the butter would be used for in that scenario.
I never personally worked while under the influence. I wouldn’t trust my motor skills and wouldn’t want to be a danger to myself and others. Also, I had to use my own car and the company only covered us for liability to others. The damage to my own car was on me.
I delivered pizza in college. Back then, we didn’t have to use the logo signs on our cars. I would never do it now. Those things just make you a target.
Just because a bike can accelerate faster doesn’t mean the pass was necessarily safe. If the bike had to go faster than the intended speed on that road, it also increases the amount of visibility needed to safely avoid oncoming traffic. There was a incline coming up that obstructed that view and he was passing two…
Thank you for the sensible analysis. I don’t know why so many people are taking any criticism of the biker as endorsing the driver’s action or even equating the two.
I once asked for extra caramel on my iced caramel macchiato. The grinning woman in the drive-thru window was like “don’t worry, I hooked you up” and handed me a cup that was covered in caramel on the inside. There was also about an inch of caramel gooped in the bottom. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that just…
I second this! And totally agree that no one should ever eat movie theater hot dogs and even the popcorn can be kinda questionable after sitting in a garbage bag for a day or two.
I’m pretty sure Amy’s not actually depreciating. I think autocorrect got you there.
I don’t know... I’ve never been in this situation, but what if you love someone who is simply not sexually fulfilling to you, and you really feel the need for that in your life, but you know that that person can’t provide it and you also know that if they found out about it, they would be devastated. I could see why…
I’m not arguing that they can’t coexist. I’m not sure where you’re getting that from my comment. I was replying to the notion that people who support tipping do so because they are evil oppressors.
Thank you for the study. This is what exactly I’m talking about. This study includes all kinds of different jobs in the restaurant industry including fast food cashiers. It says the median wage for tipped servers is $10.15/hr, which is 40% above the federal minimum wage and 23% above the median wage of cashier and…
The people who make online comments and bother to write in to express an opinion are usually not representative of the population as a whole. I’d love to see a good survey done on this topic.
I personally think that we should get rid of the tipping system. Having said that, I don’t believe that supporters of tipping “want a legal way to dehumanize people”. In fact, most of the tipped employees I know like the tipping system because they think it allows them to make more money than they would otherwise make…
See, this is one of the frustrating things about tipping for me. I get the argument about tipping minimum wage not keeping up with regular minimum wage, thus requiring higher tip percentages to make up for the disparity. I also get that tipping is justified due to the lower tipped minimum wage. What I don’t understand…
Around my neck of the woods, it’s more like it was 15% into the late 1990’s and then went to 18%. 20% as the norm is a pretty recent thing.
