Because “real men” (whatever that means), don’t put up with bullshit and cowardly tricks that salesmen like you do it. “Real men” call out bullshit when they see it (like bullshit shuckters like you), and just tells dealers to cut the shit, send them the price straight, so they can shake on it and be done.

Yes, it does suck, but one point to keep in mind - turning in an intersection without properly making sure it’s clear is very dangerous - and doing it without checking is selfish to other people - causing an accident also causes injury, maybe death to the other people in the accident too.

My problem with these articles is that they ignore the fact that these jobs are not meant to support a family.

Yes, there are no perfect markets -

might be allergies, religious dietary restrictions, or just plain preference.

Not to mention “leftovers” often means like, often 1/3 of a sandwich with 2 bites taken out of it - so it’s effectively useless, being too little for an actual meal, but too much to just eat with the original meal.

That’s actually a huge point. Restaurants serve such disproportional portions that it’s never 2 Apps, 2 Entrees, 2 Desserts for a standard order.

Ah yes, I have had some really good ones going into microbreweries round me, just always seem to have terrible luck grabbing random six-packs off the shelf. Though, probably because 90% of shelves are Stone, maybe with other offenders like Lagunitas etc. mixed in.

For me, it’s because I feel most of the big names out there aren’t really about making a well-balanced product but has just become a “I can make one more bitter than you” contest. (I find “Stone” especially to be a major culprit”. To me, gives off the same vibe as the “10,000,000,000,000 scoville” hot sauce trend…

Still a perfectly fine place to have side discussions =P But yes, my comment was supposed to be just broad stroke examples of how I personally see my underpinnings for fiscally conservative - so I’m sure any economist worth his salt could poke a million holes in it.

Yep, which is why I think I find myself more of a centrist democrat in the US than a fiscal conservative.

Ah yep, just pointing out that for republicans nowadays, “financial mismanagement” is just used as a code to “cut services”.

Is “cutting services” really an example of financial mismanagement though? If the whole point of an agency is to provide services, then not cutting those services is not an example of mismanagement, but rather proof that it was financially well-managed.

As a Canadian (now living in the U.S.) I used to think of myself as “fiscally conservative, socially liberal). By which, I meant, I support having a social safety net, but also that free markets and capitalism works - and we should utilize the inherent efficiencies whenever we can - and it’s better for governments to…

I’m sure servers are just as honest, on average, as the rest of the population. But, the rest of the population doesn’t receive the vast majority of earnings in untraceable cash (thereby giving them the opportunity to evade taxes). Evading taxes hurts everyone, including those even less well off than servers.

Well here’s a situation where, despite offending some people’s preference for black and white situations, real life doesn’t work this way - and multiple parties can be at fault, without lessening the fault of anyone else.

I’m sure they discussed it, but the passenger seems like a good dude - who realizes that Uber takes its cut (I’d bet their final agreement has Uber refunding their cut), but if the passenger had demanded a full refund - all that’d mean was the poor uber driver would have had to drive 300 miles for nothing.

The Uber driver might well have, but given how drunk he was he may have said “Yea, that’s where I’m from”

“Obviously I sent the Uber, I don’t know where to, I know I wouldn’t send it to my house, I knew where I was”

I took his main point to be the mass destruction of the libraries and environmental research, which was widely reported:
