I’m 25. That’s around the age of most of our staff writers. Go ride your horse to the tonic bar, Santa. 

Fuck off nerd

Just pay for the beer next time, man.

Shocking news that being shoeless is a notable characteristic in Kentucky. 

California tends not to understand economics

That’s not nearly so clear cut as you make it sound.

Is that where you finally remember your own actions from the night before and shrink in shame?

I’m going to guess that the firing was due to the manager getting chewed out by higher-ups at the franchise or corporate level, and scapegoating the employee to cover their own ass.

Because if the cops don’t obey the laws, why should we?

Here’s an alternative view: this policeman has a position with a lot of power (e.g. the ability to arrest) and he used this power illegally to cover up one of his illegal and potentially deadly mistakes. He should be arrested, punished, and blacklisted from working in this industry for life.

Instead, you get more elaborate, dangerous stupid decisions. Frequently even turning otherwise safe activities…

And you’re going to do us the favor of not telling us which they are? 

I can tell you tried so hard and have so much heart, but you have so much heart that you have a heart for a brain. Sober up and edit your comment.

It’s not worse, because it actually makes a difference to meaning, unlike most grammatical mistakes. People’s grasp of percentages, in general, really could be much better, so I think it’s worth picking up on this kind of thing. Although I realise it won’t win you many friends...

Ah, percentages and percentage points. 5% is not 1% more than 4%. It is one “percentage point” more. In percent, 5% is actually 25% more than 4%. It’s Friday, who cares.
