The customer didn’t hire you. The customer can’t fire you. The customer doesn’t set policy. The customer isn’t the boss. You’re paying for whatever they’re selling. You don’t want 80% delivery, don’t buy it. But the delivery guy doesn’t work for you. You don’t decide what his job is. He’s not going to risk his job so…

When the boss says stay by the car, they’re doing the job they’re being paid to do. You aren’t the boss. You’re the customer. If you don’t know the difference, you overpaid for your education.

That’s true of almost anything. Blenders, toasters, cars, power tools, etc... The built-to-last one from a half century ago will be better than the priced-to-move one from last week. Brand names don’t enter into it. Get an Oster from the 60s and you’d see the same thing.

They’ve known since at least 1977.

I’m going off of SSaD’s own reasoning. They reckon it saves the driver time, just not enough to matter. I reckon it matters when taken as a whole, and SSaD is just incapable of seeing beyond their own delivery. Whether SSaD’s estimation is accurate is irrelevant to whether they’re thinking about anything other than…

That egotism really shines through in this section.

He’s got the perfect face for it. Assuming, of course, the look he was going for was “kindergartner who is crying because the kid in front of him got the last chocolate milk”.

They don’t even look good. They bring nothing to the table. They are to wrestling what my boss’ idiot godson is to my job. They are actively damaging to everything being done, but they have an ‘in’, so they aren’t going anywhere. All you can do is leave the room when they’re around.

My interpretation of their statement:

The use of the word “apprehension” is overdoing it a bit, in my opinion, because Guyger turned herself in. She wasn’t apprehended, but whatever.

I did not compare them. I put them in the same category. Saying that the Star Wars Holiday Special and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are both holiday shows is not saying they are equally crap. If I had to pick one, it would be a no-brainer, but I’d prefer to avoid both.

If you think that’s bad, you should listen to some old time radio. Having Abbott and Costello interrupted so you can be informed that “9 out of 10 doctors recommend Camel cigarettes” is beyond strange.

As much as I liked Cheers, I never really got into Frasier. I like smart shows about dumb people, like Arrested Development or Community. I have a hard time watching dumb shows about smart people, like Frasier or Big Bang Theory. If your show has an episode where two geniuses get trapped in a closet due to wacky…

22 months is fair, provided he’s given no special protections and everyone is made aware of exactly what he did. The authorities looking the other way while someone gets hurt should be as big a part of his sentencing as it was of his crimes.

Treacherous liars and agents of Putin
Klansmen on Fox News and 1940s Teutons
Unhinged rants on Twitter praised by the right wing
These are a few of Trump’s favorite things.

Trump isn’t competent. He’s just skilled at throwing people under the bus. He’s also running out of people to throw.

Sometimes dumb devices are necessary for dealing with even dumber people.

The flaming tire tracks say yes.

I went to grab a rake a few days ago. I didn’t see the tree frog that was sitting on the handle. It oozed between my fingers like wet silly putty.
