You’d be surprised how many restaurants REQUIRE the servers to memorize orders. This guy must not have worked in upscale places if he thinks it’s a matter of the server “showing off”. You can’t be a server for 25 years without becoming somewhat deranged. The stress and constant emotional labor of that job will kill…

Betting you are a New Mexican, if not a Burqueno.

Music for the Masses was the first (and last) Depeche Mode album I bought. I loved it but everything after it was... not as good.

Easy, there, comrade! We get it, fuck tha Police, ACAB, fuckin’ pigs, maaan. There are many reasons to be angry and distrustful of the police. But you can’t just shoot that rage everywhere, unprovoked. You gotta focus, man. Save it for a situation where someone is actually grabbin’ their ankles for the…

I expected nothing less.

You are a beautiful renegade, I salute you! I think virtually everything you have ever suggested is (or sounds) delicious. Ignore the small minds that lack the vision to appreciate your genius. Viva Claire!!!

It’s a doozy

They’re using “theory” in the non-scientific sense. The everyday, conversational sense. (I know, in an article on a scientific topic, not the best form).

The only ones who got it right were the Discordians.

The mom was the one “pimping” her daughters out, the dad “only” installed cameras/went along with it. At least that’s what I have read.

This is a bad take. I assume this is because you don’t use cannabis, and therefore are talking out your ass. I know many people who enjoy it and you wouldn’t know they were high if they were next to you at a party. The “whoa duuuude” stereotype is just a comical exaggeration. Are there people who make their whole…

[Not interested in conversing with anyone who doesn’t think JKR—a far right conservative who unapologetically retweets self-identified fascists and transphobes these days—should be totally de-platformed and re-educated at the very least]

Posturing against education, science, and intellect is a basic tenet of the American right. They tell folks with little education that they are just as informed as those "eggheads" who spend their life studying things, they tell the dim witted that they are just as intelligent as those who have achieved great things.…

No worries, he’s got that enormous shell

Also the quote: “I went a convent...a cloistered convent...”

Maybe one formed in the shape of a house, a...Casanova, if you will.

It’s a “substitute good” in Economics parlance...not the same thing but does the same general job.

The commenters out here offering free copy editing to a company that won’t hire or pay decent ones.

I started playing in the early 80s before D&D kind of exploded into the culture. I don't think most of the people who play today really understand the bullying, derision, and general social damage that could happen when the regular kids found out you played make believe wizards and elves. It certainly didn't help your…

The elimination of Usury laws under Reagan is yet another thing that continues to plague this nation. Every civilized country in the world for the last few centuries has had laws limiting interest charges and rates, except (since the 1980s) the USA. Dante had a special place in Hell for the Usurers.
