Oh, snap! Social Studies gets savage.

You will never guess which political party he belongs to!

Man, some people get so worked up over the “unwritten rules” of poker.

Yeah, I get it. Ace of Base TECHNICALLY isn’t a one-hit-wonder...but c’mon.....they’re the I Saw the Sign folks.

Worse than the guy at the blackjack table who constantly calls it poker?

But most, “milquetoast pop artists” aren’t where they are because of race. Even those that are can claim ignorance of it. Macklemore knows he’s famous because he writes shitty pop rap and is white. He’s pretty much acknowledged that he’s bigger than better rappers because he’s white. If you know that, if you know it’s…

I think the biggest problem with Macklemore’s sudden rise was that his music was ever considered rap. Sure he raps, but so did Blondie. Thrift Shop and Can’t Hold Us and Same Love were popular in a pop context, in which they are good songs, not in a rap context, in which they are not good. He should have won a bunch…

Or the “please! you’re a famous star! People are STARVING!” like they ever cared about starving people in their lives.

Which of These Aspiring Sex-Havers Will You Spend the Blizzard With?

you’ve touched upon the great third-rail of American politics: who is lazier/responsible for my needs. and by needs I mean delivering heavily salted foods to my gullet

Man, you people are being brutal to someone who says he used to delivery pizza in the 90s. Either fucking put on your glasses or slow the fuck down when you read.

Here are the rules for doing this acceptably:

It’s not really the delivery person making that choice, it’s their boss who likely doesn’t give a shit about the health and well being of their employees

If they’re working, I think it’s OK to give them business provided you tip well (and say something really sincere and grateful when they show up). Ethically, I think the question is more whether you want to be the order someone was delivering if they’re involved in a traffic accident or other mishap, especially in a…

I think that if the conditions are such that you would consider going yourself but you’re just lazy/don’t want to get cold or wet then it’s ok to order (with a big tip). On the other hand, if conditions are to the point where you’re not going out because you’re concerned about your saftey/ getting stuck/ect. then…

While I’m sure that is correct in some cases, I don’t think every person who employs delivery men is such an unconscionable asshole. I guess it would help to define “snowstorm” too. The Blizzard of the Century? Maybe not order delivery. A run of the mill snowstorm? Why not.

My answer is the same as when you’re eating at a place and go over closing time or a shift change, or when your kid throws an entire meal on the ground, or when you order something ludicrously complicated with a ton of extras:

There should be a special state law that says if you make a delivery guy deliver without tipping him in the middle of a storm, he should legally be able to throw you down the stairs. The higher up you live, the more steps he gets to use.
