Food Wars!

No, it likely has more to do with an assassination attempt on US soil.

There’s a lot of lobby money tied into that but there’s another policy pill that’s hard to swallow, as well. The US has stated numerous times that after the assault on Hamas is over, Palestinians should and need to be the ones to govern themselves either through a new government or the Palestinian Authority which has been kept out of power since Hamas assumed rule in the West Bank. Israel hasn’t committed to that solution and without the US, there is no one to make them commit. So if the US pulls out, now, Israel still won’t stop and the resolution will be Palestinians living under Israeli rule. There isn’t a right answer or path forward so they’re opting for the least bad, long-term.

Yeah, but he did maintain a positive outlook all the way through.

If I have 100 acres of land and cut down 66 acres last year, this year my maximum output is 50% of last year’s output but 100% is still going to be gone.

The flaw of the meme isn’t that it’s picking on religion, the flaw of it is that it assumes illogical views negate logical views. Believing that angels hid golden plates in New England doesn’t negate good looks at a P&L in the same way that a Christian working at NASA that believes a dude rose from the dead doesn’t negate good math to get a satellite into space. In the same way that me being agnostic doesn’t mean I’m always logical and rational in every situation.

Unfortunately, this isn’t true anymore. At least in PA.

34 Pa. Code 231.114. Service charges.

§ 231.114 b

The notice required by subsection (a) must state that the administrative charge is for administration of the banquet, special function or package deal and does not include a tip to be distributed to the employees who provided service to the guests.

Yeah, I worked at an Irish bar for a while and we had a couple guys from Donegal that would go in on drunk college kids about it. Really the only anecdotes I have on the situation, though.

Now people unironically ask Irish bartenders for car bombs and don’t see the issue.

I don’t know if it’s explicit support, but I DO remember a few years ago when both the DNC and RNC were compromised and the only kompromat released was against dems

Often, but not daily. Maybe not even weekly. Certainly monthly and it’s because THEY FUCKED UP THE CALENDAR. SEPT IS 7 NOT 9 ALL THE WAY UP TO DEC YOU BASTARDS. Seriously though, fuck Julius and Augustus.

It’s SO good

It’s not. Platforming speech is endorsing speech. I mean, there’s nuance to how it should be handled if someone says something you can’t endorse, but that sentence is rule 1 of owning social media platforms.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to be water brothers with him!

Our day will come

Maybe. The upvotes outweighed them, though. There’s also a chance it comes from the punk community. And I’m betting they’re more likely to be here than Nazis at this point.

There’s a big thing right now that has that community on the defensive trying to erase the connotation between punks and Nazis. I’m sympathetic to the community, actually. You can’t control who tries to co-opt your aesthetic so there was a movement in the 80s and 90s aptly named “Nazi punks fuck off”. About a month ago, a few videos went viral calling out the fact that they still had swastika patches even if there was a cross over top of them. From my perspective it was a misinformed, but well meaning argument and it’s had much of the community on edge, since.

It’s a story with a good message

A guy was sitting at a bar one night. One of those dive bars where you make love to your booze and shut up. A guy in some punk clothes walks in and sits down, before he gets to say a word the bartender turns to him and says “No. Get out.” The punk argues that he isn’t doing anything, he’s a paying customer. Bartender reaches for something under the counter and repeats himself “Out, now” and the punk leaves.

First guy turns to the bartender and asks what that was about. Bartender explains that he had Nazi shit all over his vest, iron crosses and other shit. Says you start to recognize them. It starts out nice enough, one guy comes in, he’s polite and nice, so you serve him because you don’t want to cause a scene, then he comes back with a friend or two, and they’re fine, too. But then they bring their friends and it stops being cool all of a sudden and you realize “oh shit, this is a Nazi bar, now” when they take over. It’s too late to try and kick them out at that point because they will make it a problem if you try. So you have to nip it early with the first guy no matter how reasonable he seems because the end goal of that guy and his friends is to make it a Nazi bar for him and his cohort of Nazis.

It’s all about perspective.

INFO: Do you lord over them like you own them? When they bring you food, do you act disgusted and just throw out away? Do you get upset if they don’t wear the jewelry you buy them? Are there communication issues like do you have trouble understanding each other?

Based on your other comments, I’m going to have to assume the answers to all of these questions are “yes” so I’m going to go with NTA, they’re a pussy.

I deleted my 12 year 100k account at 11:59p Friday night. Had redact edit every old comment then delete them and closed the account. Some of my Google searches are still landing me over there. I don’t even know what it would take to put me there permanently, again. I’m just hoping I can cultivate my experience here, enough, so that I won’t have to find out.
