So I got fired for threatening to report them for withholding employee checks. They had a bunch of 15-19 year olds closing one night, maybe five or six of us, and one of the ice cream freezers got turned off. Someone’s honest mistake, a bunch of ice cream melted, sucked, but they said okay, we’re just going to withhold all your paychecks, and I said fuck no you’re not, and proceeded to threaten reporting. In the end, me and my coworkers all got our $27 paychecks, but I lost my job. I am by no means a hero, was just a little belligerent as a kid, and it felt like a good opportunity to really dial in the belligerence.

Put a button for $1 and I’ll hit it all day. And I know that ain’t the person behind the register deciding, but if I get ice cream for my family and it costs 35 fucking dollars because that’s how much fucking things cost these days, I’m not throwing you 15-25% in tip, let’s be realistic. Put a $1, $2 option and I honestly think you’ll have more luck.

Not to old man this shit, but I scooped ice cream at a restaurant/ice cream place for 5.25 back in 2004. You know how I earned tips? I played a game with customers, let me and the girl I’m working with guess questions about your life and we will give you a free size upgrade. People frequently played along, we had fun, fucked over the owners a bit (they sucked), it was really a win/win.

I was eventually fired.

My issue is the automatic 15-20-25. I go to a deli, they make me four sandwiches, I want to throw you a couple bucks, not fucking 10.

Yeah, it drives me nuts because that’s obviously what it is. MTV went to shit when they introduced commercials. Anytime you’re selling shit to the masses, God forbid you alienate a group of people because you said the word cunt.

I’ll go one step further and say fuck PG-13 ratings. If you take an R concept and make it PG-13, I know it’s going to be shit.

For me webp is always some gif I’m trying to text people, and now I have to go convert it.

Vitamin D toxicity is also a big problem, and doctors have been overprescribing supplementary vitamin D for years. Feels almost like a joke, you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Doesn’t “depressant” have more to do with your body’s functions and not necessarily the depression we think about? Been a long time since high school health and EMT classes.

Kratom cut my drinking by 80%. Haven’t had a single beer at home alone in years. Still go out occasionally with friends, so not a recluse or anything, just the excess stuff.

And go back even further, exposure to lead fumes from leaded gas in cars made an entire generation incapable of complex logical thought.

Glad to hear t-pose is the way to go. I’m beginning to think it’s the solution to the world’s problems.

Marine Corps beat that into me. We had two options for drinks at the chow hall in boot camp: water or blue Powerade. No milks no juices no sodas no red Powerade. Only blue Powerade. It’s the only one I’ll drink anymore, the rest serve no purpose.

Definitely thought you meant hair plugs at first, and that there was an app to give you male pattern baldness.

My only gripe is I can never remember the number, and there are several teenths. I’m bad with dates. July 4th is idiot proof.

My kids finished today. A couple towns over finished last week. I don’t know how they decide this shit.

Just got around to watching this movie for the first time, real happy ending.

What are people going to say, “Yeah, I knew he was gonna do it, but I had other shit going on so I ignored it.” Meaningless quote you hear all too often after people commit suicide unfortunately. And I don’t mean to admonish anyone, but who comes out afterwards and says “Yeah, his life was shit and he was a miserable fuck it was only a matter of time.”

I’ve talked for years with friends of mine about MLB+Steroids+Aluminum Bats. I want to see someone hit two 700ft homers in a night.

That’s a term I haven’t heard in a very, very long time. I keep one in a drawer with my Sound Blaster PCMCIA card.

I’ve noticed, on ones I’ve seen in person and online, the paint job makes a huge, huge difference. Black ones look pretty good. Someone has a dark red one by me that’s just less bad.

Pretty brave to admit that.
