If you're in the sand box, does it count as a blumpkin? Or is it toilet specific.

That's awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

I agree, it would be great if we had more varied and tailored options.

If someone has been involuntarily committed it means they've already shown an intention to harm themselves or others. So the goal is not to stop them from feeling bad but to physically prevent them from doing harm.

That's how I like to see us too, but I've definitely met some Z hating millennials.

I met a fellow "old millennial" recently who said "we're the last generation to be raised right". I disagree, but hearing it from a guy my age really cemented me in old man status.

Then he told me he had 3 kids. Who's responsible for raising that generation!? Lol.

Haha, fair enough. I seem to have lost track of the years somewhere in there.

It's a good reminder of how influenced we are by our surroundings, even when we try to be aware of the effect. Or maybe especially when we try to be aware.

I was staying strong until I saw they were already sundowning windows 10. 10! They just came out with that shit. I have no intention of upgrading to the latest advertising package.

I agree! And I like to think that, as he looked over his several bottles worth of dressing in a beverage cup, he did learn to consider his words more carefully.

But I didn't mind the whole experience. It's not my dressing and it made for a pretty funny story.

It certainly creates an incentive to act in ways that please the customer at the expense of the business. But the restaurant controls your access to the customer, so it's best to tread lightly.

It's been a long time, but I used to work at a corporate dining place that did a lot of take out business. I once had a man ask for "as much thousand island dressing as possible".

I was going to just give him two portions, but my coworker convinced me to fill a large soda cup instead. Why not? We worked for tips after all.

The customer was pretty bewildered. He clearly didn't really want that much dressing.
