DNC types get super cagey when you admit that Bill Clinton is a serial adulterer who was in an extreme power imbalance relationship with a woman in her 20’s.
I’m glad the party is willingly offering him up as a sacrifice to the republicans to get keep the Epstein probe going. Every time the GOP tries a burying tactic, they truss Bill up like a suckling pig, and I’m fine with that. Dude is and was a creep.

Wow, waited half day for that, that’s a little depressing.

It’s super fun, though! Especially when the other person actually has a personality and is willing to mix it up.

No,i just find you personally distasteful and don’t mind that you know it.

Agreed, the entire system of tipping the American way should be fucking illegal. Wait staff should earn a living wage. I think it’s way more complicated than that, and you see pushback from the owners and the servers, and any movements to change it haven’t had enough backing socially to change anything.
But that’s kinda how it works, you choose to engage with it by going to an establishment with enployees that rely on tips. I mean hell, most of the time if you have a bad experience it’s due to something the waiter can’t control. Kitchen issues, staffing levels, poorly handled rushes. Being gleeful about how little you tip because of how things have changed… just don’t go out. Avoid having a shitty experience and being a shitty experience for someone else.

At least that’s something, I doubt you do that cause I’ve already seen your justification. Honestly the person handing you drink after drink at the bar, wondering if they need to finally cut you off doesn’t care. I’m guessing they’re just happy to be rid of you. Eat alone isn’t advice I need to give you… is it?

The expensive part is big. Inflation on bar and restaurant drinks is real. Drinks where I am are a minimum of 15 usd with 20-25 not being outside the realm of possibility. I started tipping 2 dollars a drink a few years ago at bars. But I’m not getting a dozen drinks, or drinking every day at bars, even every weekend.
I can see these tips really adding up if you do this a lot, especially restaurants where two people + tip for a couple that gets two drinks each is 120-150 usd all day. Wages aren’t exactly catching up to any of that.

Game 101? Wow, every comment worse “social pressure doesn’t work on me” you aren’t tipping Batman, you aren’t tipping Joker, you’re just a jerk who should be eating at home.

You should honestly stop going out at all, the person who is broken post covid is you. You’re taking it out on random wait staff you are choosing to patronize. Make your food yourself, drink your drinks at home, then the only person you’re making miserable is the person in the mirror.

Feels like more of a subjective thing based on the user. But then again, the company went bankrupt once already.

Naw, they shitty, horrible kids with bad opinions, but if I felt as strongly as you, and had a much free time, (my god i wish i had your time), I’d spend the same time repping this place and less time trying to gentrify it into another political war zone. But by all means dehumanize these stupid kids until you only see an enemy to safer defeat.

Thank you for the context so you can see how chill and goofy you are in your “fight against fascism” aka the kids who built and populated this platform initially.
- Comment on Just trying to fit in the clown show known as the human race 2 months ago:
Really, is that the vibe you think you bring to the table? I would have said a steady stream of argument bait. You usually don’t see chill goofy people maintaining entire threads of personal callouts. That’s just an imo tho!

I don’t think anyone who mentions that honor killings are a thing is saying that. Honor killings have been recognized by amnesty international as being a distinct threat to women worldwide that is present in America as well specific to Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and Asia.
I think any child has the potential of being killed by their angry parents, it’s happened very frequently from people of all backgrounds, but it’s ok to admit that a Muslim girl who doesn’t want to introduce you to her parents could be motivated by the fear of death or abuse in a very specific way. And i think it’s ok to tell this kid that this is a possible additional pressure based on her culture.
But it’s fair to say this has happened like a half dozen times in the US in two decades. That might feel like a lot, but considering the sheer number of Muslims who live in this country, that might as not happen at all.
I can keep both of these ideas in my head at the same time and not have a weird, knee-jerk meltdown in the comments!

This seems so dumb, like people have simply put names to the typical tropes of online conversation, it’s a very typical meta discussion that you don’t seem to want to engage in, so why waste the time?
Your solution doesn’t make sense, just take things less seriously! Are you the fucking Joker, this is serious shit. It only works if there are more likeminded people who share your “logical” opinion. If your solution is to always just overshout, you are agreeing to the will of the majority, which we call the tyranny of the majority in the United States. What happens when the majority you picture yourself as flips to the minority in the argument.
Congrats, you’ve just lost everything! Welcome to 2025. A zero sum game where if someone asks a genuine question with good discussion, people are going to come in to try to flip the table.

That’s not just a series of strawmen, you’ve managed to create a straw strandbeest!
But yeah, this is all virtue signaling and using silly arguments to try and hide it. I almost can’t believe i triggered you so bad you came back with 18 pages front and back!
- Comment on NYC woman who left swastika brick on Cybertruck is a woke therapist who blamed Elon Musk for tantrum 5 months ago:
Sure thing!
It’s wild this person would just randomly roll up on a swastitruck and put a brick and dump some trash on it. But they’re driving a car that’s associated with the nazi saluting dude, putting a swastika on it is appropriately labeling it, not targeting jews.
I’m not condoning what she did, but I wouldn’t care if she just put a piece of paper appropriately labeling the swastitruck. I’m saying you would normally call your sort of post virtue signaling, because the only time your virtue signaling ass cares about a hate crime is when a liberal does it.

I don’t even think it’s this, you look at Twitter and see their American numbers tanking, becoming more like that doesn’t make sense from a business standpoint.
Now look at how every billionaire and big corp is bending over backwards to give Trump money. In his mind, a lot of them were complicit in 2020 for his loss, and everyone knows he looks for revenge.
These people like Zuck have no actual morals, he’s just hanging a sign that says he’s on their side, desperate not to be targeted. This is the same way he acted with Obama, the left just liked it.

No, when he exposed his loli horse porn to the world I lost the respect I never actually had for him in the first place i guess.
It’s one thing to be so stupid you don’t have a different personal computer to do your weird jerk off shit. It’s another to then expose your creepy jerk off shit to your audience. It’s yet another third thing that your audience is willing to just ignore it and keep watching. Gross!
