15-20 minutes is a long time when you have a 30-minute gap between your two jobs.

Wait, are you saying that they're withholding rent and food money from servers by avoiding establishments that expect tipping?

Are we now obligated to eat out?

Because tipping is so ingrained customarily that if it's not banned, it will still be expected.

There's a new cider brewery that opened downtown that has no tipping. It's quite liberating.

Sure, but neither would you, if you drank a cup of gasoline.

That. Few 17 year olds actually make the deliberate choice to have a child.

I switched from Eternity to Voyager, and I recommend the move.

Yeah, that is an excellent point. The time to actually prepare rice and beans comes at a premium when you're working multiple jobs to make ends meet.

I'll ask Madame Guillotine if she is up for another round.

I think that's mostly to wash the excess starches off of the rice.

Where I am, the big cereal brands (Kelloggs, Post, General Mills) tend to go for $6-7 a box, and the bargain brands are like half that at most. I agree, rice and beans would work better if you were being frugal. Or eggs; eggs were real expensive for a bit, but they're back down to $2 a dozen.

Not really, no. I mean, it's cheaper than, like, steak, but it usually goes for twice as much or more than the store brand or bargain brand cereals.

And twist his nuts!

True. The really poor people buy the off brand Malt-O-Meal cereals.

People who assume you're MAGA because you don't like Biden aren't the far left. Most of the far left doesn't like Biden either. Dude is a centrist placator. I will say he's better than the alternative, but that's only because the alternative is a demented ultra-grifter and his cult of fascist rubes.

Two Spirit

Formally progressive ideas (like mixed race marriage) are no-brainers today

I mean, you say that, but...

The version I always heard when I was young was, "If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain."

Here I am in my mid 40s, and I'm pretty sure the conservatives are the ones with no brains.

I once tried to get internet service from a phone company which shall remain nameless*, and after three weeks and two missed appointments, I got an appointment from them for a Tuesday after 12PM. Nothing more specific than that, but "after 12PM".

I had some stuff to do at work, so I went in to the office for the morning, then headed home. Got home at 11:55 AM, saw a note on the door saying sorry we missed you, please call back for a new appointment.

I'm pretty sure my rage could have powered the sun at that point.

*here's a hint: it starts with V and ends with erizon.

Yeah, this would probably be better with a bit of a wording change (like "how deodorant is sold to women/how deodorant is sold to men").

I mean, there's definitely a real phenomenon at play here, but I think it has more to do with how the system indoctrinates us than any real, actual preferences.
