Yeah, that’s the flaw in OP’s plan. It’s pretty rare for a class to be completely covered in lecture

Coffee. It’s something that I refuse to compromise on. It may be especially important to me because I like to drink it black. If it doesn’t taste great without adding anything to it, it’s not with drinking at all in my opinion.

You’re kidding, right?

Yes, very mild indeed. Almost too mild 🤨

Ah, okay. I guess that makes more sense. It’s still a pretty scuffed punchline, because doesn’t the movie pretty clearly explain that? Why would the character just be getting it? Seems pretty shoehorned in. I guess I’m thinking too hard about a silly comic

The punchline about Jack Sparrow makes no sense. It has zero connection to drones. Is it just supposed to be funny because it’s a reference? Maybe I’m missing something

If you had to put money on it, what do you think the odds are that he knows the basic open C chord on the guitar?

If this is happening to you, you may be in need of a CPAP machine and probably some long term fitness goals

Both probably. Or just flat out too stupid to have an opinion

Your POST gave me a SEIZURE Which I will be Recovering from (forever)!

We all lost

Agreed on me ignoring you. Way ahead of you 👍

That’s not what a straw man argument is, or at least, it’s not a good example of one. It was literally what you were basing your whole argument on.

Um… what?

What straw man am I punching in this scenario?

Spoken like someone who has never been to a country where tipping culture doesn’t exist. The service industry works just fine when businesses are required to pay staff a living wage instead of pushing that expense on to the customer. You level the blame at the wait staff for pushing this culture, but that’s simply not the case.

There’s a bit to unpack here. The fact that you characterize it as a “crime” at all implies that something wrong is being done in the first place. No, it’s not a crime to not tip. However, someone is being negatively impacted when you don’t.

Does the system suck? Yes, it sucks. It sucks the moon right out of the sky, but someone is being hurt by you not tipping, and that person is essentially a minimum wage worker that depends on those tips to survive. Until that system changes, you are the asshole for not tipping when the service is acceptable to you.

Sure, give it a try

Hey, I’m definitely not condemning their entire catalog. I think they have some genuinely great songs and some truly excellent talent in their lineup that shines bright from time to time. However, Dani California is NOT a good song and I will never bend on that.

I had the exact same experience with my local shitty rock station. I really have only one thing to say about it:

Getting born in the state of Mississippi Papa was a copper, and her mama was a hippy In Alabama she would swing a hammer Price you got to pay when you break the panorama She never knew that there was anything more than poor What in the world does your company take me for? Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana She’s a runner Rebel, and a stunner On her merry way saying baby, watcha gonna? Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five Just another way to survive California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess I’m your priest Yeah, yeah, yeah She’s a lover, baby, and a fighter Should’ve seen it coming when I got a little brighter With a name like Dani California Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded, she was stealing another breath I love my baby to death California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess I’m your priest Yeah, yeah, yeah Who knew the other side of you? Who knew that others died to prove? Too true to say goodbye to you Too true to say, say, say Pushed the fader, gifted animator One for the now, and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man Wasn’t gunnin’ for the quota Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess I’m your priest Yeah, yeah, yeah
