sounds like you’re letting other people’s perceptions affect your decisions. if you don’t want a certain brand, then don’t get it. but to not get a certain brand just because of the perception that other people have seems silly.

I own an old sportster. If you don’t like HD styling, don’t consider them. They really aren’t good bikes in any one area. I bought mine used and I love it because I don’t care to ride fast, I just like cruising around. The benefit to buying a used HD is that you can typically sell it private-party for close to what…

...no.

only a sith deals in absolutes

...what? I was describing that the software has limitations but that doesn’t indicate that their spark plug information is more or less suspect. wtf are you talking about with infotainment systems?

I don’t understand the allure of all-you-can-eat buffets. How do you eat responsibly for your health, but still get your money’s worth? All I can see is that buffets allow you to try a wide variety of things that have been sitting under a lamp and breathed on by everyone in the building, but it certainly doesn’t seem…

This is pretty cool. It has a couple weird, random parallel lines to roads (that aren’t bike paths - they’d be through houses), but the etch-a-sketch aesthetic is pretty fun. Almost makes me want to pay for one of those hobby laser cutters...

only in the hypothetical scenario that i’m in a queue behind you at a coffee shop. otherwise, nope. this whole recurring article is about voicing opinions about what other people, who we’ve never met, should do at restaurants and other businesses.

a formal hat would be normal. a ballcap? you better have known the deceased and their family very well.

I don’t think they’d be too sad about it

“it’s kinda funny how there’s like a beef between electric skateboarding and regular skateboarding, so they like, usually like make fun of us, but honestly we don’t care at all.”

...you’ve worn a ball cap to a funeral?

I think that’s just the employees wanting to work in their prescribed order of operations, and not rely on memory for what you said 5 seconds ago, and not risk mixing it up with the order they heard 35 seconds ago from the last customer. A barrista is typically writing down an order, whereas chipotle employees are…

well the ballcap thing was mostly just that it’s out of place - I don’t really want to get mixed up in your anti-religious control thing. I still contend that, just like holding a door, taking your earpods when someone is talking to you is ‘just nice,’ and if someone who is trying to do their fast-paced job and trying…

that’s it, imma wear a ball cap to your wedding (retroactively if I have to). what’s your least favorite sports team? Lakers are off limits at the moment.

how much are you willing to pay for software that encompasses all cars delivered to the US, and also have that software not make you fill in some unnecessary information in order to get you to the specific vehicle’s associated parts? it’s basically an asset management system that the customer can use. I can’t really…

today is your lucky day, fam

You know who wouldn’t make you take your earpods out? Your keurig at home. Go there if you don’t want people to ask that you be attentive when interacting at a business.

There’s also no reason to look the cashier in the eye, respond to a “good afternoon,” or hold the door for someone. But it sure is a sign of respect to take your earbuds out and hang them on your shirt front (if you’re using wired) or just hold your earbuds, and it costs you nothing. Pausing the music is probably more…

As soon as I read the byline on the main feed, I thought to myself that the best article for this would be no commentary from salty. Just, post the question, and let it sit there. It knows the truth.
