It was crazy overplayed. I don’t really listen to the radio or anything, but I would still hear it at work.

The same thing happened with “Royals” by Lorde.

I see a Doctor Who reference, I upvote.

That’s one of the differences between a tv show and a novel. Novels can go into so much more detail.

“How could fiction be so unbelievable?”

I enjoyed it, but I don’t take many fictional things very seriously.

Those ice skate oral surgery coupons weren’t very popular.

But people love a volleyball covered in blood.

“Gentleman”?

Who are they specifically addressing? Sounds like there’s one dude with bad aim.

To keep out the burning witches… oh…

White Knight Syndrome. At least you recognize she’s using you and that it’s not just a cute way to get your attention.

We don’t have militarized police because people own guns. I’m sure it’s a factor, but an interesting correlation I ran into recently was that the more African Americans there are in a community corresponds to an equivalent increase in the deployment of SWAT teams. Unfortunately, the available data only exists for Maryland because they’re the only state that keeps track of SWAT team deployments.

Is that Chris Rock?

I don’t put mine on the roller. I just put the roll up on the back of the toilet.

100% chance

Dust is mostly skin cells. So there’s dead skin cells everywhere.

People tend to engage more with things that outrage them than anything else.

In some stadiums, the men’s rooms will have a long trough filled with ice for everyone to pee in.

consults “North American Book of Paranormal Animals”

Hmm.

The Who?

I see it, too. That shirt has seen better days.

Well, she’s been riding the Koopa train all day and night.

Nah, mate. You can’t trust Princess Peach. Every time she asks you to come over, that bitch is always in a different castle!

Love it!

He’s the one they send to kill the boogeyman.

I’ve been researching this stuff for about a decade, and I’ve worked in the food service industry since 2004.

Touché!

And I’ll amend my statement to address regulars. Those are individual customers and individual tips that I think any server is justified in worrying about. They come in more often than other customers, and I’ve seen servers literally survive slow periods just because they have faithful regulars, myself included.

I fucking love my job. Part of the reason I love it is the money is good, but not the whole reason.

The person I replied to made a specific point about money, which is why I addressed it that way.

And I don’t give a shit about individual tips/customers. I operate on more of a month-long scale. If one person wants to be an asshole about their tip, I don’t really give a shit in the grand scheme of things past being momentarily frustrated. Still love the job, though.
