Common Sense

How is this story anything other than "don't run from the police"? If this kid didn't run, none of this would have happened.

Republican environmentalism is not that crazy of an idea, and it's certainly not an oxymoron.

The Louisville basketball team may be in big trouble.  Can we please go ahead and pay players now?

This makes a lot of sense when you think about it, but it's still an interesting finding.

You may find this useful when buying your next pair of glasses (or would have found it useful before).

1. It's a clever idea, but I'm not sure how I feel about the ability to check without consent.

2. It's Buzzfeed at its best.

3. All the cats were dumb.  All the dogs were awesome.

4. The positive spin was editing.  Who knows how the whole conversation went?

5. It's nice that societal expectations and norms have changed such that women can eat alone if they choose, but I'm not sure how much celebration is in order.  As long as it's about choice, then I usually think it's at least minimally positive.

6. The first one seems more appealing than the second, if only because dark meat is better than boneless chicken breast.  But I'm sure both are yummy.

3. I'm sorry for sharing the events of my life with you... :/

4. I thought I was missing something, and I clearly still am given your response. I too thought America was the sort of place where you could have choices. I would also like to try one of these $11 breakfast sandwiches...

1. I think some people want to justify their often irrational decisions with respect to rejecting other people. If the guy was just a little awkward, then everyone is (at least) just a little awkward, and that's hardly a justification for moving on, so make him a creep and you have grounds for dismissal. Dating is one of the few arenas where pure unfiltered critical, and often irrational, judgment is totally necessary and appropriate, but when that fact is juxtaposed with a person's current and enduring state of singleness, sometimes rationalizing the lack of merit in the opposite sex makes it easier to live with oneself.

3. Death awaits those who stand between a bunny and her crispy potatoes!

4. It's ultimately a judgment call that the manager has to make based on available resources, staffing needs, the quality of the employee, etc. Basically, you have to decide if these people are popping up to ask because they are also in need and saw that the firm might be receptive to their request or because they just don't like that someone else

4. If people respond poorly to criticism - and this has been known to happen from time to time - then you know that they aren't interested in getting better or making your visit worthwhile, and that means it's time to go and never come back. I think most restaurant managers are comfortable accepting criticism that comes from the right place, and they chose the wrong line of work if customer service isn't important to them.
