People who are kind, considerate, and compassionate towards others do get persecuted.

People who don’t tip at Cracker Barrel on a Sunday after church probably should be persecuted.

All of that is true, but he took off his shoes while keeping the suit jacket on. We need to find the deeper, hidden meaning in this.

Aha, but the great old USA love to think it’s a meritocracy, and since tipping is something that was originally merit based, it’s a very American expression. You work a little harder, you get a little extra.

But also, in a uniquely American way, capitalism turned tipping a moral dilemma.

Well, it might not be gay. If he’s the honey in the middle is there leeway?

I love asking people what their first irresponsible purchase would be if they won the lottery.

Everyone has the day dream of paying off medical debt, your parent’s mortgage, new car, fun vacation. But that’s all responsible. I want to know what the unhinged thing you probably shouldn’t do is. My favorite answer was Baja Blast on tap bedside.

How long did Jeffries wait to endorse Mamdani as the NYC mayoral candidate?

Maybe it stings that Mamdani’s successes so far have come despite support from Democrat leadership. Just shows what taking your job as a public servant seriously can do.

With glabal warming and fossil fuels being what they are, this also doesn’t need to be a metaphor. Could be pretty literal.

Republicans spend a decade gaining supermajorities in state legislatures and packing the judiciary with republican judges.

Democrats spent a decade celebrating Hillary Clinton’s imminent election.

Democrats drive the truck. Republicans man the water canon.

I think he can tell the difference between the thing spewing shit and the thing being splattered by it.

His supporters can’t though.

Just so everyone here knows, these pictures do not need to be mutually exclusive. You can do both.

Hey now, it definitely absolutely definitively was not a war. So it’s impossible to lose it, right?

I get excited every time I hear a helicopter, but I work right next to a hospital, so it’s immediately tainted by the knowledge that someone in that helicopter is probably experiencing the worst day ot their life.

When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn’t take “I don’t know” as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they’d stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.

2 weeks folks.

Les Miserables is a bit over the top, but if you live in the USA, you live in one of the most incarcerated societies ever. You can absolutely look the other way, but odds are good they get tackled by some jumped up mall cop, get a couple days in jail, lose their job, lose their kids.

The ramifications of stealing a loaf of bread can still be absurd. If you are able, step outside your comfort zone and offer to help.

Nah, unless you’re as dumb as a rock, no matter how shiny, this is not a question you ask unless you’re 100% sure of the answer.

OK, derailing slightly. There is nothing I hate more than going to a restaurant and getting a cardboard straw for a plastic cup with a plastic lid.

It’s almost as infuriating as seeing people who still somehow wear masks incorrectly.

They’re fortunate sons.

Nah, if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that 99% of people/companies/businesses follow the “if I made money yesterday, and I made money today, I’ll make money forever” rule. Greed is fundamentally short-sighted.

The root of the argument here is that billionaires are not a sign of economic success, even for the individual. It’s an enormous shortcoming, failure, and monument to greed.
