Ordered a pay of the gray ones. These are the new “thing” among the nurses in the ER, so I’m trying em.

Mine get here today. I’m both excited and disgusted.

venn diagram of “shitheads sitting in front of me on the plane who instantly have to recline their seat all the way” and “boomers” and “shitheads watching Fox news on the seatback tv” is a circle

I was boarding a plane the other day and a bunch of college athletes were boarding ahead of me. At least two of them were wearing Hoka shoes.

So I guess that means you’re cool?

I’ve been telling my wife I’m still cool for the last decade. Now I have proof. Thanks!

I don’t follow soccer at all, but earlier this year I found myself watching the beginning of this year’s European Championship. Before the game, the announcers were predicting who would win and one ventured that England would be favored if the game was a particularly athletic one, otherwise the greater football intelligence of the Italian team would carry the day. Knowing nothing at all about the two sides I remarked that this seemed to be a surprising inversion of the typical racial hierarchy. Then the two teams took the field and it all made sense.

After years on my feet working in restaurants, I always wear no-slip restaurant shoes that you can find at Wal-mart for like $25. They’re great and last me 12-18 months

Funny enough France/Chile were probably the two most athletic teams in the sense we usually use the term, but Chile do lack height and jumping ability.

We missed this on Halloween

I don’t get this concept either. How do you handle gratuity? Are you expected to pay 20% for the server/service on top of the 15% for the house?

I was in LA last month and received this check:

What would you do here? What does the restaurant expect you to do? I honestly had no idea wtf to do, so I asked the server. He said that most people don’t add extra gratuity. I added an additional 7%, probably because I had 2 cocktails in me (but the dining experience was also great).

What’s weird to me is that they have the 18% auto grat as a line item in the bill, and then make the customer pay taxes on it. Shouldn’t the taxes only be based on what I ate and drank?

Agree. It’s lazy. Build the price of what items need to be into the items. Also what the hell is “Oui, Chef!”?

oh shit. biebs is in a cult!

Couldn’t remember, so I looked it up on their website:

bourbon, amari, lavender, honey, lemon

I don’t know. Bigoted nationalisms of all stripes like to wrap themselves in the flag.

Did my patriotic duty and voted to allow raffles at the rodeo

I was in a couple US politics discussion WeChat groups in 2019 that were offshoots of the Democrats Abroad official group. All the “Andrew Yang was perfect in this debate” accounts had the PRC flag in their profile pic (which was fairly common among Chinese people because the 70th anniversary of PRC being founded was approaching). These were universally people who would rate “identity politics” as one of America’s biggest problems.

Oh the things I wanted to say. And then eventually did say and (rightly) got kicked out.

so did they lose virginia?
