You seem to really admire MAGAs
Let me stop you right there. You have obviously never read any of my posts, so let me make it unequivocally clear that MAGA’s core tenets are Treason, Corruption, Pedophilia, Rape, Racism, Hate, Death, Exploitation, Ignorance, Incompetence, and Socio/Psychopathy, and anyone who supports or defends MAGA are ALL of those things.
I do NOT admire MAGAs.

First of all, I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I think ALL political parties should be abolished.
The DNC has always given lip service to stuff like taxing the rich and getting money out of politics, but when they are in a position to actually do something about it, they literally don’t do ANYTHING about it. And it has been like that for the last 50 years.
Talk is cheap, and MAGAs may be the biggest illustration of that by far, but Dems don’t have anywhere to hide, either. I’m looking for the candidate towards the left who will WALK it like they talk it.

Exactly. What are they going to, fire me from a min wage kitchen job? There are six restaurants in a 3 square block radius that will put me on the next shift.

These guys can’t resist any type of Hostess snack cakes - Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Cupcakes (my faves), Zingers, Donettes, Coffee Cakes, etc., and most are individually wrapped, so if you scatter them in their path, they’ll have to stop and BEND OVER to retrieve them, which will slow them significantly. But they WILL retrieve them, this Hostess treats are literally crack to fatsos like me, and them.
If nothing else, it would be hilarious to toss them at these guys by the hundreds, and watch MAGA go apeshit at the Liberal Violence of throwing Twinkies at fat soldiers. They’ve already failed at indicting a guy who threw a sub sandwich at ICE (waste of a good sandwich), when a Grand Jury declined to indict multiple times. Let’s see them take the Twinkie Riots to court.
Humiliation hurts MAGAs far more than physical violence, and is by far our best weapon against them. They believe themselves to be the bullies, and they really melt down in humiliating fashion when they get a dose of their own medicine. Make them the targets, bully them relentlessly, make it really unfashionable to associate with anything MAGA, and their support will fade.
BTW, big economy boxes of Hostess snacks are on but One/Get One at Publix this week, so arm up.

I had one idiot employee who insisted on jumping out of the back of my box truck while the liftgate was still up. He thought he was impressing his co-workers, who were only waiting for him to screw up and fall, so they weren’t telling him to stop.
I spotted him doing it, and told him, his supervisor, and all the others that it stops NOW.
Well, he did it one more time anyway, caught his toe on the edge of the liftgate, and dropped about six foot onto the pavement, breaking his fall with his face, and snapping off the bottom half of his two front teeth. Exactly what I told the Dipshit would happen.
How did I know? Because there’s always a moron like that in every group. The guy who take the stupid dares, or even just dares himself (“Whatch what I can do!”), and will never stop until he, or someone else, gets hurt. He’s the guy that will drive fast with his eyes closed and his hands off the wheel, play chicken with other cars, hold a firecracker on his hand, shoot fireworks at others, brag about how he drives better when he’s drunk, etc. That guy will never quit while he’s ahead, he will always do risky stuff until it backfires on him - “It’s fine, I do this all the time! Wow, it never did that before.”.
Identify that guy amongst your friends, and NEVER let him make decisions.

They used to have them hop out, but the loss to twisted ankles and blown out knees was about 20%, so liftgates were added, rather than fitness standards.

When I was a senior in high school, I needed one more science credit for graduation, so I took Human Anatomy. It was taught by a young hippie (it was the 70s), who also taught the exact same course at the local community college.
It was a great class, with lots of cool labs, experiments, and dissections. We had to memorize every bone, and every muscle. It was one of the hardest classes I’ve ever taken, but also the most fun.
That class was filled with future doctors and nurses, so none of them were whining about how they’d never use this stuff. But I wasn’t on a medical track (I was a music history major), and I could have probably said that (I didn’t), but I have used the knowledge I gained in that class literally every single day of my life, decades later. Easily one of the best classes I took in my entire life.

It’s not misogyny to recognize and acknowledge that women can be bad people, just like men can be.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s great if it’s just a hang, but that’s not what this was. This was clearly supposed to be a serious date, the kind that hopefully leads to a relationship, sex, a life together, marriage, kids, retirement, etc.
If I’m taking a girl out for a nice romantic dinner, I’m expecting a certain sort of meeting, and I’m willing to pay significantly more to create the atmosphere in which we can open up and start to explore the idea of a future.
But if she decides she wants to bring a friend, that changes everything. Now the entire dynamic of the date has changed, and we can’t have the kind of personal conversation I’d like to have (and she would want to have, if she was being honest about accepting the date), and splurging on a fancy restaurant is a waste.
If she decides that she’d rather have a fun, casual hang-out, that’s fine, but I was looking for a serious date. I’m not willing to spend the same kind of money on a friendly hang-out as I would on a serious date, and it’s pretty offensive that my date has unilaterally decided that we won’t be having a serious date, we will have a casual hang-out with her friend, but they still expect me to pay for it as if it was that original serious date.
She did not accept this date in Good Faith, and he is under no obligation to indulge her disingenuous behavior. He’s actually lucky that her true nature became apparent BEFORE he spent a lot of money on her. Save that for a girl who isn’t a predator.

Do you understand how conversation works?
When he says he isn’t paying for the friend, the proper thing to say is that he isn’t expected to pay for her, she’s just there for safety.
But she doesn’t say that, she justifies her friend’s presence, which isn’t his issue. His problem is paying for it, and she carefully avoids confirming that she doesn’t expect that, which means that she DOES expect that.
Not once did she tell him that he wouldn’t have to pay for her friend, despite him being very clear that was his objection. She expected him to pay.

If some women then abuse that need to try to freeride, it’s another discussion,
No, it’s not “another discussion,” it’s the very discussion that OP wanted to have when he wrote his post.
Everybody wants to talk about women looking for “Red Flags,” and I don’t blame that at all for doing that, but men have just as much right to look for Red Flags as well. They may not be the same Red Flags, women obviously have more safety concerns (justifiably), but men have to watch out for women whose only interest in dating them is to financially exploit them, which is a far more common occurrence than a sexual assault.
We all have the right to refuse to be exploited. She can insist on bringing a chaperone, but he shouldn’t be expected to pay for her, and if that’s a deal-breaker, than it becomes pretty clear that they were only interested in taking advantage of him.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
She NEVER said that she didn’t expect him to pay, she just ignored it, and kept justifying why it was okay to bring her friend. She fully expected him to pay for dinner and drinks for both.
These girls are predators, and they tried to treat him like a chump, and people are pissed because he showed some self-respect.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
They’re having a date in a public restaurant, she doesn’t need “protection.” She can have her friend call mid-date to offer a bail-out excuse, like everyone else does.
The only reason for her friend to be present is to scam a free meal and a bunch of expensive drinks. These girls are predators, get a real date. There are plenty of women who would love to go out to dinner on a real date, not just to scam a free dinner and drinks from some chump.

The test was “Is this guy so desperately horny that he’ll pay for meals and drinks for two, even though neither one of us has any intention of having sex with him, and having a friend along makes it even easier to steer the conversation away from any path that might lead to sex?”
Yeah, that’s a test you want to fail. Those women are predators.

I’ve heard it all my life. I just assumed the Dutch were cheap, and won’t pay for anyone else but themselves.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
Is she hot? Because if I’m paying for the friend, too, then I’m expecting a threesome at the end.

No, he took the great song Sweet Home Alabama, stole a hook from it, and used it to create a new, awful song. It’s the MAGA way, steal something good, and replace it with an inferior version of it.

The exception is the handicapped area. When I drive my 80 something mother, we park in a handicapped spot, and I get out and grab the nearest cart for her. She uses that like a walker to get to the store. When we get back to the car, and she gets in, I leave the cart near the handicapped spots for the next person. I have often seen others do the same thing.
We parked the other day, and there were no carts nearby, so I went and got one for her. She could have made it into the store with just her cane, but she would have been slower, and not as confident.
So leave a cart or two in the handicapped zone. The handicapped folks have already worked out their own system that the normies don’t know about or understand. It’s a Geezer Thing.

I’ve owned a restaurant, and once you’ve done that, you’ve been the dishwasher, janitor, toilet plunger, punching bag, robbery victim, etc.
After all that, you tend to lose that sense that some jobs are below you. You just see it as work that has to be done, and you’re standing there, so it might as well be you, so get it done.

I remember the first time as a kid, that someone asked me to hand them the Church Key, and I was majorly confused. Why do you want a key to a church? We don’t even go to church, why would we have a key? Do people who go to church all get their own key to the front door?
I had a lot of questions, and they didn’t end when it was explained that a church key is a can opener…
“THEN WHY DO THEY CALL IT A CHURCH KEY? WHY DON’T THEY JUST CALL IT A CAN OPENER?”
