Because it is. We are taught where stuff goes and we put it there.

I had never ever seen 5$ until the social media age.

 

! I think it’s dumb

In Spanish, don't the put the punctuation on both ends? The first being upside down?

¿Or am I misremembering?

This isn't necessarily a good defense. Plenty of stuff we just do doesn't make logical sense, we just do it because that's how we've done it.

What's truly outraging me currently, some asshole blasting super loud music with super deep bass behind the restaurant we're eating at. I can feel the damn music.

The $ at the end does make sense, though. You'd say four hundred dollars, not dollars four hundred. And why is it 50(cents) and not (cents)50?

The older I get, the more I realize it's a good idea I don't own a directional EMP.  My neighbors would have no functional electronics in their home for this exact reason.

All this brouhaha about Trump's tweet directed at Baltimore/Cummings basically being a rat-infested shithole. Now there's a pundit from CNN getting emotional about it on air because that is the city he came from.

Good. Maybe people should take it personally. Maybe you should feel bad. If you keep voting the same people/party into office year after year and decade after decade and that's the result that you're getting (trash packed in alley's and one of the most violence cities in the US) then maybe make an effort to change things. Protest at the city building until the officials there get off their asses and do something about it. Vote them out. Try something new. 

Going on air and getting emotional about whatever Trump tweets about - yeah it shows that you've got a hefty store of emotionality that you carry around - but crying about it does nothing.

Was it real crying, or like Rachel Maddow crying?

That sounds like what I went through with Walmart this weekend. I order a smoker online. Get the wrong one. Take it back and they say they can’t exchange it for the right one but they will give me a refund and I can reorder. Whatever. 5 days to get my money back. Plus 400 more out of pocket to reorder. I’m staring right at the grill in Walmart and reorder. I did it online because the online price is 40$ cheaper. I go home and wait for them to tell me it’s ready when I get an email that the store is out of them. I call. For some reason a multi billion operation can’t just switch my order to sawmill rd where thy have it in stock. 4 miles away. I cancel the order. 400$ on hold for 48 hours. So I’m heated now and I go down to the store and there are 3 of them on the shelf. Wtf. After 30 minutes of trying to explain to the teenage girl who was the manager what was going on I just purchased the grill for another 400$. 1200$ at Walmart on a Friday morn

I am with otrap, I would have wanted to stab someone after all this, and it takes a ton to get me upset.

I do my best to not be unreasonable.  Mistakes happen.  They don't make you incompetent.  They don't mean you need fired.  They don't give me carte blanche to yell and scream at you.  Frankly, I don't even usually get upset at a mistake.  Everyone who makes a mistake in their job should have the opportunity to correct it, and if they do, all is well.

But if you don't fix it ... multiple times ... I get agitated.

That brings me to what's pissing me off today.  Found out we have to get $1,100 of work on our somewhat newly purchased used van.  We've had it like a month and a half, caught the dealership on several things they said they'd done but hadn't, and it's been an absurdly ridiculous experience.  And this was all BEFORE what we found out this morning.

If you live anywhere near Akron, don't ever go to North Coast Auto Mall.  I'm not a complainer, and I don't even think I've ever publicly called out a brand or business to stay away from before, but I will with these guys.  There were no fewer than six changes to get things taken care of, and if we hadn't already gone through the rigmarole of setting up the auto loan and gotten a verbal agreement to buy the old vehicle, I would have raised hell to undo the whole thing.

Getting old.  That is what is outraging me today.

"Injured" my back last week from a nasty COUGH.   A freaking cough.   Stopped me for a few days out cold.

Did anyone see, on Twitter, the writer who is asking people to stop wearing red baseball caps because it is scary?

https://twitter.com/rebeccamakkai/status/1167980658339254272



Is anyone else made really uncomfortable these days by anyone wearing any kind of red baseball cap? Like, I see one and my heart does weird shit and then I finally realize it only says Titleist or whatever. Maybe don't wear red caps anymore, normal people?

Also, for the love of God: The clever folks wearing "Make America Read Again" or whatever caps -- NO. You're making everyone scared. Don't do it.

In her defense, a grown man like gblock who is "impartial," "moderate," and "sees both sides" is also petrified of red hats.

Hitler owned a dog, so I suppose all dog owners are Nazis.  That makes you a Nazi.  I am just going by your logic.

I have a red hat.  It's from my years playing college baseball.

I will continue to wear it.

In her defense, it does have a weapon on it.  We were the Lancers, and it has a jouster holding a lance.  Maybe that's too violent for her, and it's triggering to her.

If Trump comes out with BLUE "Make America Great Again" hats he'll confuse the hell out of a lot of people.
