The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

all the websites now begging us to turn off our adblockers sound like cheating exes wheedling for another chance

no, you blew it

you had your chance but you put up autoplaying animations with horrible flashing and sound and gross sex things and lies and viruses, pop-ups and pop-unders and things that download themselves and try to run, and fucking chaos and crimes basically

we don’t trust you anymore and we’re not turning off our ad blockers probably ever again, and you have no one to blame but yourself

Old People Restaurant Scam. You know the scam. Whine about perfectly good food to get some sort of comp.

In their old age, my parents befriended another older couple who would pull this stunt everywhere they went. After my mother told me a few stories about how their new friends had shown them how to get discounted or free meals, I felt like I was suddenly the responsible adult, concerned about the bad influence these people were on my parents.

While visiting my parents with my girlfriend, this other couple attended dinner with us. As I expected, the food was brought to the table and they immediately began dramatically complaining to one another about the quality/taste/temperature/etc. They were making a scene in order to attract the attention of the waitress. When our waitress returned to ask how we were doing, the miserable old bastard who played the lead role in their act took a deep breathe, struck a dramatic pose (with his hand raised to begin gesticulating for emphasis) and bega–I leaned forward and cut him off before he could finish the first word: “Everything is absolutely fantastic. It’s all great! Thank you very much!” She smiled, and began her obligatory “Great, well if you need any–” when he made a second attempt. “We come here all the time an–”. I didn’t acknowledge that he was speaking at all, repeated that all was just as we ordered and thank her again.

He was stunned and thrown off from his routine by my interruption. During this pause the waitress walked away (It seemed clear that she knew what they were trying to accomplish). He turned bright red. I turned to my girlfriend and, smiling and without lowering my voice, stated how pitiful it is that some people could be dishonest, deceitful and put at risk the livelihood of a cook, server or hostess for a pathetic discount or a free early-bird special. My passive-aggressive reverse-parenting broke my parents of the habit in short time.

And baby boomers talk shit about Millennials being entitled

As a Jimmy Johns employee for three years, the largest demographic that scams us for sandwiches are older than 40.

Waiting for an official statement from Gal or WB…but thats MY Wonder Woman

Also somebody pointed this out on twitter, but the reason Gadot can do this is because she wasn’t signed to a multi-picture contract the way Affleck and Cavill were. They didn’t expect her movie to be the big moneymaker. So now she’s using that as leverage.

DRAG HIM TO HELL

Wonder Woman ❤️

Urging those in the continental US who can afford to fly to Puerto Rico to see Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton to not do this. It’s expressly being produced for Puerto Rico — let the citizens of Puerto Rico get a chance to see the show. There are two tours, plus a Chicago and a New York production, not to mention London. Hamilton will be around for a long, long time. There will be so many chances for you to see the show.

(Written based on this tweet.)

Lin sounds fairly pro-tourism here, but yeah, please don’t swarm the place if you can help it. Go donate your money to recovery and/or see another production of Hamilton.

I mean, there’s a lot of time here and things will be in flux for a while, but right now let’s not turn this campus into the RRT stage door.

Oh, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely go to Puerto Rico (I’ve never been but would love to), but this production is meant as a show of love for the citizens of Puerto Rico, and we need to give the people who live there a chance to experience this production.
