I think it’s Joachim Phoenix’s character’s son, but yeah…

The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players

Not even… CRT TV/VCR combos

Bicycles come in a variety of sizes and configurations tho…

That is… literally the lowest the bar can get

When I was still with my last partner, we were open: she was dating as was I.

She DID do the, “hey, you’re nice but I’m just not feeling it” to a couple people she met and they were absolutely shitty about it. If it wasn’t a comment about her being a “stuck up bitch” it was something else. A couple harassed her via text for days afterwords before she blocked them. This was probably half the people she met.

Nowadays if I meet a woman I totally get if they don’t want to connect outside of an app before meeting and I don’t think they’re (necessarily) assholes if I get ghosted. People’s behavior has made this sort of thing necessary so I try not to take it personally.

So yeah, all you saying this doesn’t happen… hate to be this guy, but it totally happens. Listen to women every once in a while

All that Disney live action remake bullshit somehow makes money otherwise they would have stopped.

That said, I’m eagerly awaiting Netflix’s take on ATLA

Conversely… people can’t see as well wearing these glasses or having treated windows so their headlights get brighter… this is kind of bananas

I did it mainly for looks. It’s a vanity tint more than anything. The white/blue LED lights are a tinge more yellow and seem less painful, but it’s still ridiculous that it’s even a consideration

Light trucks exist in kind of a legal loophole in the US

These vehicles have been pushed hard because they’re not held to the same standard as cars and are more profitable as a result

I’m pretty sure that even tho cars have gotten more efficient that average fuel economy has gone down because of the proliferation of these massive vehicles sold to Americans a daily drivers

I’m in an element, so I’m pretty high up and I get blinded. When I drive my wife’s Mazda 3 it’s fucking horrible

I thought this was just a Portland thing… “surely everyone can’t be that stupid”

My latest pair of glasses have a yellow tint for this very reason

Won’t someone think of the shareholders?

My favorite is that a a celiac, all the gluten free stuff is 20% more expensive. Because you know, rice and tapioca are such expensive, exotic ingredients

I don’t want rubbery, sweet shit in my Mac and cheese.

On their own this m they’re fine.

Do you like pickles in your ice cream?

I will go on record as saying I don’t give a shit if there’s pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn’t order it that way, but I’ll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.

Raisins in Mac and cheese… I can imagine it’s probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting

Still a classic

If the guy was Finnish I’d high five the shit out of him

(Actually, even that gets dicey. WW2 was kind of a mess)

Actually a current Nazi in WW2. It’s arguable if he’s an ex Nazi now

Racist? I’m not trying to make a bad faith argument, but… what?

Dude. No one’s forcing you to eat out. Don’t if you don’t want to pay into that system (or just stiff if tipping as an institution is satanic to you)

Hah. No.

I guarantee I think (and thought) about tipping a fuck of a lot less than you do. I’d get stiffed on occasion, but in general my job was to allow customers to relax and facilitate they have a good time. It always shook out by the end of the night and I barely kept track of who tipped what unless it was really outside of standard deviation one direction or the other. It’s gauche as fuck to hint at a tip or even look at the slip while in view of guests.

Know who tips the best? Other servers. I and others who knew each other in those circles tipped one another 50+% when we’d patronize one another. We probably passed the same batch of money around. Of course we were usually comped rounds of drinks and appetizers, so… surprise surprise, the night out cost the same anyway, but we didn’t get shitty and cheap trying to game the system.

Also, these are the social contract seas we swim in, smoothbrain. You think someone at an upscale establishment is going to stick it to the man by walking out? I have problems with capitalism as a whole, but you and yours seem to think servers (and I’d be willing to bet other “unskilled” workers by your definition) don’t deserve adequate compensation? I didn’t come up with this system, but it’s what we’ve got and there’s an elegance to it if you don’t get all butthurt. You’d pay what you’re paying plus tip one way or another. Grow a pair and stiff your server if you’re that annoyed. I’d respect that more than you being a keyboard warrior after folding and having a clenched asshole for feeling obligated to give a server 15%

There is a really easy way for you to get what you want and not play into this system: stay home. No one wants to socialize with you out getting drinks anyway
