| Topic | Waiter legit asked me why I didn't tip on a take out order. |
| IdiotMachine 09/15/20 8:45:27 PM #1 | Went to this local restaurant, and she came out to give me my food (I didn't go in; you can't go in, you have to call when you arrive, and they come out with your food). She took my credit card and put it in a handheld wireless card/chip reader, and while it was in the thing, she asked how much would I tip. I said $0, and she asked why. I said it's a take out order and I don't want to tip for a take out order. She just gave me a look, asked me to sign, gave me my receipt and card, then walked away. ......I'm not the weird one, right? Who tips for take out? Unless it's like a giant order or something. --- |

| IdiotMachine 09/10/20 9:47:08 PM #4 | Irony posted... It's not I checked the site: Seem like a standard Quarter Pounder* with Cheese? Nah, its also got shredded lettuce and crispy bacon because thats how Cactus Jack likes it (straight up!) Okay, so it's a standard bacon quarter pounder cheeseburger with shredded lettuce instead of normal lettuce. It's not like a new sauce, new and exotic topping, higher quality beef, etc. --- |
| Topic | Who the fuck is Travis Scott? |
| IdiotMachine 09/10/20 9:43:57 PM #1 | And why is the quarter pounder with cheese renamed to the Travis Scott meal? There's nothing special about this meal. It's just a standard quarter pounder with cheese. --- |

| Topic | Are you not supposed to tip for Walmart Grocery deliveries? |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/20 4:50:45 PM #3 | pikachupwnage posted... Of course not. That is less money for corporate to get from you after they drive your local shops out of business.If local grocery shops can't offer deliveries, then screw 'em. I'm okay with this convenience. This is called capitalism and competition. --- |

| Topic | Mulan (2020) was an okay film. |
| IdiotMachine 09/07/20 10:21:42 AM #1 | Was it worth $30? Only if you're planning on watching it with more than a couple of folks, to make it more like a "cinema" experience. If just for yourself, nope... because you probably won't rewatch this (there's no real re-watch value). [Light Spoilers Below] Likes: *I watched this with a mainland Chinese person, and he said the set design, clothing, symbols, edicts, "chi", loyal/brave/true/devotion to family, and Rouran are all real and very accurate. This was extremely surprising to me (I didn't know "chi" was a real concept; thought it was some bullshit that Westerners made up). *Definitely better than the "live" action films that Disney has been making lately, which is a carbon copy of the animation. *Set design / clothing are so colorful and beautiful to look at. Definitely need a big screen. Dislikes: *Mulan is just born with all her greatness (she has great "chi"); she's just hiding it because she's a woman. *Mulan is a boring character... 95% of her acting is just stoic-like, with no facial expression. Hell, there's a scene where she does a flip over a bad guy, and she just looks bored. *Action scenes are sort of lackluster. You see thousands of Rourans descending upon the hundreds of Chinese, and the camera just shifts to Mulan and like 5 other riders who go away from battle. I expected like Troy-like action with grand battles... but nope. *The witch's story arch is sort of disappointing. Her last act made me laugh though (it wasn't supposed to be funny). Overall, just an okay film. Maybe 6/10. --- |

| Topic | I think minimum wage should be $18/hr. |
| IdiotMachine 08/30/20 10:37:28 AM #1 | Housing should be no more than 30% of a person's income. An average apartment costs approximately $1,500/mo, per [1]. The average person is approximately 38, per [2]. Therefore by 38, a person should earn at least $60k/year. Assume 3% annual raise, and you start working at 22. That means a starting salary of about $37.5k/year, or an hourly wage of $18/hr.

| IdiotMachine 08/29/20 10:53:14 AM #25 | Ruvan22 posted... Unfortunately getting help is a bit difficult, as a doctor/psychiatrist relied on both the person and person's family to provide details for a diagnosis. The biggest issue might getting your dad to go, he may say "Nothings' wrong with me" etc = your best bet might be to first discuss this change in behavior with your mom to see if she recognizes it too,,Oh yea. My dad doesn't think depression or mental illnesses are a real thing, so it'll be borderline impossible for him to go. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/29/20 1:53:21 AM #4 | AlCalavicci posted... No, it sounds like your Dad is having some anger/stress issues. Was he always like this, or is this a recent thing? Maybe he's dealing with something you don't know about. Or maybe he's just a jerk.He recently became this way, about a couple years ago. But it never culminated to this, where he would be screaming at me, to the point he was trembling in anger. --- |
| Topic | Dad yells at me at my own house. Am I the fuck up? |
| IdiotMachine 08/28/20 11:46:48 PM #1 | My parents (who live in a different state) gave me $30k to help them buy a house. My wife and I use our credit, time, and our money (in addition to theirs), to find a house, buy it in our name, and prepare the house for move in (replacing locks, cleaning, small repairs, etc.). My parents came to my house tonight, as they are going to move in tomorrow. My dad said he's too cold, because he's soaking wet. I gave him a towel. He then asked me to turn off the ceiling fans. I turned it off. Then he got really pissed off, saying my attitude is a problem when I was turning off the ceiling and giving him a towel. I tried to explain myself that I was extremely tired and stressed, because I had a 13 hour day at work, but he wouldn't have it. He continued to yell at me, saying I disrespected him, and who am I to disrespect him (i.e. saying that he's my dad, I should always respect him and never be angry). He said I should pay him back for everything he's ever done for me, and that I should be even thankful for having a father like him. I bit my tongue the entire time. Until he said "sell that house, I don't care". That made me furious, because of all the crap that my wife and did to get that house. I almost told him to get out of my house and to go to the other (empty) house or to a hotel. But my wife pinched me hard, because she knew what I wanted to say..... So... Am I the fuck up here or what? I tried to be as neutral as possible in this post. /blogfaqs --- |
