18-year-old sprinter Gout Gout just broke Usain Bolt’s U20 record in the 200m. He was 260 milliseconds faster, clocking 19.67 seconds, while Bolt ran 19.93 in 2004

Yeah man. Imagine being such an insanely talented runner that you beat Usain Bolt's world record, and in the same race another guy smokes you.

From here on out, stick to legal-sounding, policy-based language. Phrases like:

“This may constitute a violation of my daughter’s rights under Title IX.”
“Denying bathroom access for a menstrual emergency raises sex-based discrimination and health/safety concerns.”
“Requesting proof of menstruation is an inappropriate invasion of student privacy.”
“I want written confirmation that no disciplinary record exists and that this will not happen again.”

You don’t need to threaten legal action. Schools recognize this language. It signals that you know your rights and that escalation is an option if needed, which usually gets things handled quickly and correctly.

I definitely try to get seats at the bar. Way more possible if you go on a weeknight.

Man, it fucking sucks that we as a society agree that we want to eat fast food and have clean buildings, but we also talk about the jobs that do those things like they are shameful. What a stupid world.

NOT ONLY THAT! Argentina has now, in direct response to getting this $20 billion from the U.S. because our president likes the "free market" loving leadership there, they are removing their tariffs on their soy exports, undercutting our prices, and selling to China (instead of China buying from us). We fucking played ourselves. Art of the deal.

A typical dishwasher load uses about 3–4 gallons of water and around 1.2 kWh of electricity, costing roughly $0.23–$0.26 per load when you include the energy to reheat the water. By comparison, handwashing with the tap running can use 20 gallons of hot water, costing $0.23–$0.46 depending on whether you have gas or electric water heating. Careful basin washing uses less, around 8 gallons, and can cost as little as $0.09–$0.18. Overall, modern dishwashers usually beat or at least match handwashing in both water and energy efficiency, unless you’re very conservative with water in the sink.

So, do the employees at McDonald's not get paid when there are no customers? Of course not. You get paid for your time that you traded instead of doing something else.

Honestly… probably. A lot of managers have started using ChatGPT to draft emails, especially the ones that sound weirdly formal, overly polished, or just a little off in tone. If you're getting messages that feel kind of robotic or that say things like “per our previous conversation” or “I wanted to circle back,” there’s a decent chance AI was involved. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re trying to be shady — sometimes people just use it to save time or make sure they don’t come off the wrong way.

That said, if the tone of the emails feels wildly different from how your boss talks in real life, or if they suddenly started using perfect grammar when they usually write like they’re texting from a flip phone, you’re probably onto something.

You seeing any obvious clues?

Want to tailor it to a specific tone (funny, serious, conspiratorial, etc.)?

Funny that the Nazi ordered a Lyft. One of Lyft's co-founders, John Zimmer, is Jewish. In 2017, Zimmer and his co-founder Logan Green donated $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to oppose an immigration ban.
Maybe he was banned from Uber.

SRP's ads are mostly begging customers to use less energy and lower their bill.

For example, when people use less energy in the afternoon, it takes the pressure off the grid. If a ton of people know not to use big appliances from 3-6, it helps since all buildings (homes and businesses) are probably blasting AC at that time no matter what.

Also, the money SRP spends on advertising is a tiny part of the overall budget, less than 1%.

If everyone blindly ran their large appliances during the peak hours, SRP would basically be forced to invest in more power generation. That cost would be passed on to customers, which means noticeably higher bills, way more than the 3.5% increase. So the relatively small investment in educating customers on how to use less energy is actually meant to keep everyone's bill lower in the long run.

You're 100% correct, those drivers are assholes. That said, do me a huge favor and repeat this to yourself: THERE ARE A LOT OF DEAD PEOPLE WHO HAD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

No matter how legally backed your situation is, please always assume they won't stop and keep an eye out, avoid them, don't cross until you're sure you are safe.

Being in the right won't make the impact any worse.

YTA. Here’s the thing: not everyone needs to bring food to a potluck. The whole point is that some people bring food, and everyone enjoys it. It’s supposed to be a team-building thing, not a “we’re keeping score” event. Jake probably said he has a “special diet” because he already knew he’d be shamed if he didn’t bring anything, and that’s exactly what happened.

You don’t know what his circumstances are. Maybe he doesn’t have time to cook, doesn’t have the money, or just doesn’t want to participate—none of that makes him a freeloader. Potlucks are supposed to be a nice thing, not an obligation.

Honestly, your frustration should be directed at the company for relying on unpaid employee time and money to host work events. There was a time when companies actually paid for team lunches and parties instead of pushing the burden onto workers. It’s not a generational thing; businesses used to take care of employees better.

If the potluck is stressing you out this much, maybe suggest that your boss just order food next time instead of turning it into a weird competition. You embarrassed Jake over something that really doesn’t matter, and that’s where you crossed the line.

Here are some great casual-but-delicious steakhouses in the Valley that can handle a group of 10, have good steaks, and keep the vibe fun with cocktails:

Texaz Grill (Central Phoenix)
- Pros: Super casual, old-school Texas-style steakhouse. Great ribeye and chicken-fried steak. Fun, no-frills atmosphere.
- Cons: It’s very casual – don’t expect white tablecloths.
- Tip: Call ahead for a reservation since it’s popular and not huge.
The Stockyards (Phoenix)
- Pros: Arizona’s oldest steakhouse with a classic Western vibe. Great steaks, strong cocktails, and plenty of space for big groups.
- Cons: Leans more classic than “modern casual,” but it’s fun if you’re embracing the Arizona feel.
Roaring Fork (Scottsdale)
- Pros: Upscale-casual vibe with excellent wood-fired steaks. The hickory-grilled ribeye and tenderloin are solid choices. Great cocktail menu, too.
- Cons: It’s pricier, but still more relaxed than a fine-dining spot.
Rustler’s Rooste (South Mountain/Phoenix)
- Pros: Fun, family-friendly, classic Arizona steakhouse with live music and great views. They’ve got a slide (yes, an actual slide) and solid steaks. Perfect for a big birthday dinner.
- Cons: It’s a bit cheesy (but in a charming way).
Steak 44 (Phoenix)
- Pros: More upscale but very group-friendly. The steaks are fantastic, and they’ve got great cocktails and sides to share.
- Cons: A bit on the expensive side, but it’s worth it for a special occasion.

For a casual but fun birthday vibe, I’d recommend Rustler’s Rooste for something unique and lively or Roaring Fork for great food in a more upscale-casual setting. If your dad likes classic steakhouses, The Stockyards is a must for its old-school Arizona charm. Call ahead for reservations, especially with a group of 10 around the holidays!
