The Great Gatsby is interesting because people tend to forget two things about the book that make adaptations tricky:

1. It’s really short (only a little over 40k words in total)
2. A great deal of those words are merely the thoughts and observations of Nick concerning people who doesn’t know well (like his cousin…

It’s also telling that KD is lumping Shannon with Skip and Stephen A as though Shannon Sharpe isn’t himself a Hall of Fame athlete (who has 3 Superbowl rings, no less).

KD just salty and bitter, as great as he is as a player, because he hasn’t been the de facto leader of a team who won a championship. It’s so obvious…

He’d have to prove that they fired him specifically because of his religion, as religion is a protected class legally. Therefore, they can simply say he was fired/release due to conduct unbecoming of so and so, and he’d have to prove otherwise.

This is why it’s incredibly difficult to prove even actual discrimination…

She was hurting, so it’s understandable, but saying condolences to someone you’ve closely worked with for a long time is not really an out of line thing to do.

Will Harvey stick to a strict 1200 calorie diet? Most likely not, but she isn’t doing anything that is significantly different from a lot of bodybuilders before a competition.

Yeah. As much as I enjoyed certain points, the movie couldn’t keep a consistent tone and it’s clear they couldn’t decide whether they wanted to play everything straight, or have it be a quasi-satire/parody of Westerns with a smattering of Blaxploitation thrown in. It didn’t work, and what ended up happening, at least…

But is there anything CLOSE to a male Bring It On?

And truth of the matter that’s kind of how the presidency works.

Cawthorn currently has 12 people primarying him as we speak. His district in NC is a GOP stronghold, so any Democrat he went against would likely lose. Therefore, the only reason why a GOP incumbent, in a safe GOP district, would get 12 potential challengers from within his own party is because they saw or knew he had…

He’s facing 12 opponents in the primary, has to get at least 30% to make it to a runoff, and has already lost the support of Sen. Thom Thillis, who is backing one of his challengers. This is all in a very, VERY red district where the Dems have no chance of winning.

You don’t get 12 challengers, within your own party,…

The issue isn’t the amount of data prior to fights, but instead the realization that many of these phases and fights aren’t revealed at all, or aren’t revealed fully, and more importantly, that the lore implications of these fights and phases are often incredibly significant (moreso in prior expansions than in BFA and…

You’re missing the forest for the trees.

The reason why I brought up some of those specific fights wasn’t merely because they were unexpected or secret or weren’t revealed through the PTR or datamining. Instead, it’s because many of those fights (like this raid fight in FFXIV) have major lore and story implications…

While it hasn’t been as common in the last two expansions, many final raid bosses, particularly on Mythic difficulty (or in earlier expansions on Heroic, or doing specific things prior to the boss), the encounter would change drastically, and none of this was revealed by either Blizzard or derring-dos on the PTR.

So no drivers have ever stolen food? So no Uber drivers have ever refused to return goods left in their vehicle? So no UPS drivers have ever stolen packages?

Sure, while it’s not their job to make sure the order is prepared correctly, it IS their job to make sure the ENTIRE order is delivered to the address specified,…

Perhaps I was unclear by what I meant by “missing” food.

In any case where food is missing, either a portion or the entire order, there’s only two possibilities: the restaurant fucked up, or the driver fucked up. “Fucked up” includes stealing some or all of the order. Regardless, it’s still a fuck up, and because the…

If you’re out here trying to argue that some delivery drivers won’t take portions of an order, however small the percentage of orders it might be, you’re a damned naive fool.

If we have video evidence of delivery drivers for other industries misappropriating deliveries (such as Fedex, UPS, and the like), the same shit…

That’s fine. Still doesn’t escape the fact that delivery drivers, rightly or wrongly, will be presumed the responsible party if part of the order is outright missing (regardless of whether the third-party service processes a quick refund; orderers want their food, not a refund), and that people are always gonna be…

Irrelevant consideration. I’m not at the restaurant to check, nor am I going to go to the restaurant to make sure all the food is there, as that defeats the entire purpose of ordering delivery.

Sure it sucks for the driver if the restaurant fucked up, but it would be silly to guarantee a good tip prior to delivery when…

I’m for that, but then you have the question of: Who is gonna foot the bill?

Assume the drivers get paid an hourly wage, is it gonna be 50/50 between the third-party delivery service and the restaurant? Is the delivery service gonna foot the entire bill seeing as how the drivers only have a business relationship with…

I’m with you.

I’m firmly in the “No tip until delivery” bandwagon. Too often have I had my outright delivered to the wrong apartment because drivers seem to have some difficulty reading building+unit numbers, food being missing, and deliveries not arriving. Sure, I can go through the process of getting a refund, but…
