Yeah, that’s a great way to no longer have the privilege of ordering food. It’s a shame that it metastasized into the entire culture there.

The rule in places I’ve worked is that the person picking up the food tells you how much you owe them. Even then, it can feel shitty.

This started to happen with the Domino’s I frequented in college. It was a bit alarming when the delivery guy finally learned how to pronounce Hugo Chavez.

A lot of the worst atrocities happened after the war of independence, not before. Britain was, unusually, the voice of restraint in actions taken against the natives; it wasn’t until America was well and truly acting on its own that you had Jackson and the policies of extermination.

To be fair, it’s entirely possible that he wasn’t the only person to experience this issue, he was just that 1 in 10 annoyed enough by it to write in. I bet what happened is that it was a bizarre enough request that someone decided to look at it and realized removing it would in fact improve the map.

That’s awful.

Although, as much as Apple loves new features, somehow I don’t think that new Macs increased the amount of sunlight they receive per unit area.

Your link about the importance of 73 Easting is messed up; it links to an article about Obama warning Trump not to hire Trump. Otherwise the article was really good.

It’s impossible to be be sure, but the way he says he’s done with eSports makes me hope that this (completely justified) firestorm has made him realize that participating in it was causing him to engage in unhealthy and unacceptable behavior. If he was truly unrepentant, I’d sorta expect him to fight it more. It…

I think there was probably a point, early on, when voice chat was hard enough that most people had more positive experiences than negative ones. There were always assholes and trolls, but as it steadily got easy to get on voice chat, it also became quicker and easier to indulge in vile behavior. The upside of being…

Eggs must be delicious, if huge.

Wait, was Celebrimbor not evil in the game? He definitely seemed pretty evil; he just was an evil that hated Sauron.

Lake Park is not a small park, for one, and there’s this thing called a maintenance budget. Planning major events is a big deal, so they can predict what it’ll cost the system and try to recoup that in the rental fees that the event is charged. This is supposed to happen months or over a year in advance, depending…

Milwaukee’s parks are for all of the public, not just the few who want to play Pokemon for a few weeks, trample down areas that are not meant for walking on, litter, and in general burn through the parks system’s yearly maintenance in a matter of weeks. The county parks system is not especially well funded and able…

Loudly proclaiming how much you don’t support Clinton, despite your locality preventing actual direct fallout of your non-vote, doesn’t really contribute positively to the culture that informs people’s voting in places where it does matter.

Isn’t him being weak and unwilling to challenge his party exactly what we’re complaining about here?

I wish more leftist Americans had been as pragmatic. But hey, at least we’ve given you a free life lesson in what the worst can be.

Oh wow, I hadn’t seen the one with Chris Christie, who just stands there, utterly unmoved by it. Then again, you don’t win an election in Jersey without knowing how to deal with awful people.

Oh, I never said that they’d listen. Just that they’re probably there. Try to convince them, wait for them to age out of the demographic, those are all choices that people have to make on their own. The important thing is to realize that maybe not everyone you might know sees things your way, and maybe to try and…

Even the Hillary and Bill have better chemistry than the Trumps. She clearly was after him for his mind, and kept him around after he cheated because she never was in it for the sex anyway.

Marching in January in LA isn’t exactly an ordeal.
