The "Torching Hour", as it might be known.

I've been out of the Jaloposphere for a year or so, and it seems that over that time Torch has been slowly losing his mind.

Oh for fuck's sake!

...what that fuck is going on? we're spiraling down this rabbit-hole of absurdity. who can out-dumb the others? you don't like vaccines? fine, i don't like hand washing! science is fake! the sun is a LIBERAL CONSPIRACY! gravity is made up! rain is jesus' jizz cleansing the human race!

It's all the will of the invisible poopy hand.

Yes, let's get rid of all government regulation! Free the people! We don't need building codes or speed limits or the FDA or courts or rules about preventing disease! If your house catches on fire, pay the firefighters to come put it out! If you need to drive somewhere, you should be able to do it in a car that emits…

Four color choices only? Gray, black, white, and (not this shade of) blue.

I was working at a marina. I ended up pumping this guy's gas into his boat. Now in his defense, I am wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and was just done with cutting down a tree, so I got scratches and shit all over me. I'm nine days into a two week shift there.

[...]it's obvious I'm in the minority here.

I know, it just seems like rewarding bad behavior. And since they seem to be basically bratty toddlers, you should treat them as such and NOT reward their bad behavior.

Make them pay, and if they're douche-bags, call the cops, but then again if I'm not the owner of said restaurant maybe it's just not worth the hassle.
