I would imagine that union would be worse because they don't stop to let you get up

i used to box and did a little mma. i'm pretty sure boxing is worse than mma. it's not unusual to get punched in the head over 100 times in a boxing match. in mma, you get punched in the head much much less.

i'm not sure how it compares with football.

Nah, it's travel news & investment opportunities.

1) aiui they're allowed to continue operating until appeals are exhausted. Wanna bet the ban ever actually takes place?
2) uber are a horrible company, and I struggle to shed a tear for there being consequences for that.
3) the question of the long term social impact and value of these disrupters is much more interesting and I'm genuinely conflicted about them as a result.

i got another question for english people. so i'm watching english tv, and i notice that people hardly ever seem to say "thank you", at least as much as seems normal to me. like english people will do huge favors, or something insanely nice, and it's obvious the recipient is really thankful, but they don't say anything. they might nod or say "hm" or something, but no "thank you"

do english people feel thankful, and then often not say "thank you"?

i was in germany and a waiter brought out my meal, then said "you're welcome" even though I hadn't said "thank you". if it happened in an english-speaking country, it would be a weird passive-aggressive thing, as in, "why didn't you say thank you, you ill-mannered person". but in germany, it would be proper for a waiter to say something like "bitte" when serving my meal, with or without me having said "danke", which is a catch-all word that means, among other things, "you're welcome".

A lot of people say thank you and a bunch don't and it's not a big deal. The American stereotype is the fake smile, "thank you, have a nice day, would you like cheese with that?"

It's perfectly acceptable to say "cheers" or "ta" or even a knowing nod in place of a thank you.

I pretty much always say thank you though. I was brought up correctly.

What show are you watching?

I'm trying to grade HW at Starbucks (I had my students submit it online, so I can grade them from anywhere). Some guy sits down next to me and asks if I mind him opening the shade to get some sunlight in. I oblige, because whatever. Major glare ensues. Then, the dude went full Casino Reg trying to increase his comps. After he got up the 2nd time (about 3 minutes after our Q&A), I turned the blinds upward so there was light with no glare.

I'm so happy I didn't wait it out. I would have gone on a Filthy style rampage if I had.

What are Starbucks comps? Other than being able to work for 3 hours for the price of 1 coffee?

In my local coffee shop (its ropey but I live far from civilisation) I get free coffees when they're training, which seems to be a few times a month.

2-3 cups and you're awake for the rest of the week.

Popovich has earned a lifetime free pass from me at this point. He's welcome to politard it up to his grizzled heart's delight, doesn't make me think less of him. Hell, my parents are leftos too you know.

Minecraft 1.2 just came out and it now includes a chat filter. On the Minecraft reddit someone posted the chat filter words...

It screens for 679 words. George Carlin would laugh.

679 words including pvssy and puzzy are nono's!

I also now know how to swear in 10 different languages!

Last edited by Mark_K; 09-26-2017 at 04:46 PM. Reason: hmm, it also screens 'XBLRewards' ????
