@markpat89782968 @aakashgupta Nobu London vs Atlantic City (London is also in Pounds, and is the more expensive of the two) 54 pounds is 71 dollars. Hard Rock Cafe, Foxwoods vs Milan All prices in euros are already ~ 20% more expensive in Milan

American restaurants are legally allowed to pay servers $2.13/hour. In Japan, tipping is rude. In Australia, servers make $24/hour before tips. In Denmark, $25/hour with full benefits. In those countries, a server handwriting a demand for more money on a receipt would be absurd. The restaurant already paid them. In America, the restaurant doesn't. So 20% from the customer fills the gap. That's the system. Leaving less means the server worked your table for two dollars an hour. This receipt is what that looks like in practice. $525 check. The restaurant collected every dollar. Printed "gratuity: $0.00" on the bill. Paid the server $2.13/hour. Then left the building. The customer left $60 in cash. That's 11%. The server handwrote a note: "I was expecting more like $120. Thanks." The note looks entitled until you do the math. At $2.13/hour, a four-hour dinner shift pays the server $8.52 from the restaurant. The difference between a $60 tip and a $120 tip is the difference between $17/hour and $32/hour for skilled service on a $525 tab. Everyone is arguing about the server's attitude. Nobody is asking why a business that just collected $525 is paying its worker two dollars. The server and the customer are fighting over who covers payroll. The restaurant owner is nowhere in the conversation. Already won.

@NataKyon @aakashgupta You’ll still be tipping when they add gratuity onto every check. You’re missing the point as to why you tip. It isn’t because the server offered some spectacular service. It’s because they sacrifice nights, weekends, holidays, so you can go have fun.

@tbgrondin @aakashgupta Yes, one more reason to stop tipping. Servers want to maintain a shitty system because they make money with it, well, keep the shit without the money.

Meanwhile Bernie Sanders in 2015.. "Open borders? … That's a right-wing proposal which says essentially there is no US. It would make everybody in America poorer…"

@Ellis_ Nobody wrote that. It’s fake. And you’re an idiot if you think an establishment would let someone get away with that.

American tipping culture intrigues me so much. They deadass want a $120 for bringing plates to a table? Is that not a bit absurd.

@JerryQuickel I’m sure long gone but Penn State or Pitt would be a dream. Don’t see any NFL in there but would love to get my dad a Pats one. Happy to pay for whatever here. No need to take a loss

I have decided to stop collecting helmets. It has become overwhelming personally and I am just not enjoying it anymore. If you are interested in one of these hit me up and I will make arrangements to ship it to you. Thanks for following along all these years- Jerry

@benlandautaylor He already spent 5 years in jail, so it's more like ~6 years in jail/prison + probation period. Which, IDK, is not an enormous factor away from what seems to me like a just judgement here.

Video posted in January 2024 shows cornhole star Dayton Webber loading and firing a handgun. Webber is accused of shooting and killing 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells in Maryland before driving off with the body in his car. The American Cornhole League has released the following statement: “The ACL is aware of the reports regarding allegations involving Dayton Webber. This is an extremely serious matter and our thoughts are with all those impacted, including the family and loved ones of Bradrick Michael Wells.” “At this time, this remains an active legal situation. We respect the judicial process and will not comment on specific allegations or details while proceedings are ongoing.” Video: daytonjwebber / YouTube

NEW: Quadruple amputee professional cornhole player accused of murdering someone before driving off in his Tesla. Dayton Webber, 27, who has no arms & legs and was featured on ESPN, is accused of shooting 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument. "Police say Webber was in his Tesla SUV when he shot Wells in the passenger seat," a local report from Fox 5 said. "He then pulled over and asked two backseat passengers to help pull Wells out of the car. They refused and got out of the car before calling the police." Webber then allegedly drove off with Wells' body in the car. It's completely unclear how Webber was able to fire a weapon, considering he doesn't have fingers. "It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone," said Diane Richardson, Charles County Sheriff's Office. Webber faces first and second-degree murder charges. Video: ESPN

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

I’m a Christian. Born and raised. I’m not advocating to go out and fuck everything that walks by any means, but your FIRST KISS BEING ON YOUR WEDDING DAY IS A RECIPE FOR DIVORCE MY BOY

They brought in 12k last month, spent 25k, he built a 7k computer for a graduate degree he's working on and they are drowning in debt while both of them are receiving Government benefits through the VA. There is so much fraud in this country. It honestly drives me insane. You do the right thing, you don't take what you don't need and the thanks you get is everyone else committing fraud.
