Remember Wednesday when I said everyone should join a union?

Who cares?

Curious as to what you see about the cost/benefit of doing this? You want me to take a couple hundred receipts a year, cross reference them against my credit card bill on the off chance that a tip has been increased on X% of them? How often does this happen? 1/100? 1/1000? And for how much? If it’s 1/100 (way too high

Let's see, check my receipts or move to Canada. Thanks for the practical alternative...

I think the way it would work is obvious. You can see what the first box of the day contains, but you can’t see the second. So the gambling addicts who are currently blowing tons of money will see this and go, “sure, this one doesn’t have anything good, but maybe the next one does. I’ll buy it and hopefully box 2 will

Cheating can actually be a lot of fun. 

You know, I don’t agree with your take on this experiment, but having read this response, I like your opinions on the matter far more than I expected to. Kudos, even if I disagree I appreciate the thought that went into your opinion.

You’re free to like a thing I dislike. That’s fine. What’s weird is your insistence is that I don’t “get” it, which probably makes you feel better about liking something I dislike. Cool stealth edit on your original comment to accuse me of elitism, by the way!

Y’all, keep in mind that the check was $1,000 for THREE WEEKS of pay. A nigga can’t even make over $300 a week without raising suspicion. 

The article is saying “The game sucks but this base is cool”. And all those things are true at the same time. One doesn’t make the other any less true. If anything, even more respect to the guy.

I made a similar mistake one time when I accidentally clicked “pineapple” instead of “peppers” as a topping selection when I was customizing a pizza I was ordering from Papa John’s online.

Good thing the world canvas shortage is finally over...  *whew!!  

Kids these days. Weak constitution. Snark puts them into a nervous fit. 

Well this brings back some memories

Yes. Her general point distracts from the problem and frames it instead as some sort of competition among minority women instead of a fight against white patriarchy.
But I also want to call out one of those tweets embedded for its logical fallacy because there are enough legitimate points to bring up in this

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but there’s no details explaining how we can link this to medical negligence? Creating a belief that Ms. Porter went a doc and got negligent care because she’s black doesn’t seem accurate; I have read that she was feeling ill the night before passing and was discovered at home deceased, not
