I was wondering the same thing. I traveled extensively in Iran with a close Persian friend (whose family was originally from the country but now living in the US.) We are both women.

I water my plants via hose once a week. The rest of the time is via overflow buckets from my showers, which are every other day, now. But I literally look over my shoulder during the one 10 minute hose watering per week and live in fear that I’m going to be reported by a neighbor.

So they can be marked down to a normal price when they’re the last ones left!

I think it’s more like, “...listen kid, nothing was left. You’re gonna be banana this year.”

My brain read Tyson Beckford’s tweet as Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s.

Well, yes, very true. But I meant how did I get this OLD!

This is so fucking sad.

I can’t believe we live in a world where Peter Murphy has to be explained to the youngs. How on earth did this happen??

This is the best phrase I’ve read in ages. Thank you for the chuckle!

So he stands for only his interpretative abilities at human behavior. He has no other opinions or thoughts about anything else? Or is it just this issue he wants to side-step?

I think pretty much every type of shaming comes from a place of fear.

It’s a bar mitzvah of a 30 something man presented by Funny or Die for charity.

It might not be a solution, but it’s certainly not a back-step. Or even a lateral one. It’s frustrating that we can’t seem to get there on our own, but I’m not sure we can get there without steps like this. Not ideal, but maybe more realistic until we get there?

The same thing happened at another California location in July. Customers were evacuated from the San Luis Obispo store until they figured out how to turn off the speakers. No word on whether the two incidents are related, but it sounds like the inner workings of a very creative prankster.
