I def don’t mind them asking, but I always say no until my partner is finished, because that’s the polite thing to do (my grandma raised me and she went to finishing school). It really makes the other person feel rushed (my two slow-eater friends have both told me this is true) if your plate is taken and they are…

Ms. Average Person here and I like my plates to be pre-bussed. And I’m also not insulted if there is food left on my plate and I’m eating a bite here and there, I’m not offended if they ask if I’m finished.

Service staff do a job I would not have the psychological capacity to perform for two minutes, so I make it a point never to take my frustration at a restaurant’s policies out on the people who carry out those policies. I’ve had a few absolutely terrible meals (Thanksgiving dinner 2014 was an almost epic shambles on…

Thank you for your kind response Ruffian. I stray cynical too. But I undetstand why people need religion and when people practice the actual teachings of jesus, that is love and forgiveness, and looking out for the most vulnerable, I have nothing but respect for that, even if I don’t believe in the literal miracles…

Makes sense. But Taylor did not event “this sick beat” or other phases used in her songs. I just think there is a bit of hypocrisy in her statement.

What is the point of this comment?

I know so many Christians and Muslims like this and I hate that rude, loud and caustic are somehow made the mouthpieces for those groups.

Not only that. Apple is giving away artists work to increase APPLE’S market share of the streaming pie. They are asking artists to subsidize their move to garner market share. Pretty ballsy if you ask me.

Well, labels did, and probably still do to a certain extent, pay stations (or at least the more influential disc jockeys out there) to get them to play certain songs in hopes that it would lend the songs some cred and get other stations to play it for free. But stations do keep track of what they play and then pay…

Yeah if you plan to issue a free trial... sounds likes your problem, not the artists’. Figure out how to handle that lost revenue instead of literally stealing people’s work for 3 months. Apple is worth billions and they can’t figure out a way to do this?

But the White Majority TM did not kill anybody (yes, they have created a culture which accepts etc), but who exactly are we black people supposed to shoot? And what after we shoot them? How does that atmosphere help justice or healing?

Very well said...it really does seem like if all people who call themselves Christians follow what Jesus preached and supported, the world would look WAY different.

How would revenge help anyone right now? How would giving the shooter the race war he wanted help?

Tears.

Oh hi perfect gene pool.

and seeing how angry the sportswriters are about this makes it 1000000x cuter

I found one moment in the documentary very telling in explaining that: when Keyke Burns was sitting in her bedroom in front of all her prom photos, and pointed to a photo of her elementary school prom (which I didn’t even know was a thing?) and said “see, they even segregated us in elementary school...whoa, and I…

A smart racist is a dead racist, is how I am interpreting that.

People who pronounce “milk” as “melk”...the worst or the absolute worst? Discuss.

Bystander effect. All these people were seeing this and wondering “why is no one doing anything? Should I do something? But why is no one else doing anything?” I bet a bunch thought it must be on the level, because no one was doing anything, and just went about their day.
