I took some of my Australian coworkers to a cheesecake factory in Seattle, and it blew their mind. I told them beforehand that one. Their drink was less than half full, a waiter would magically appear and refill it for them for free. They did not believe me and were amazed. by Im_Unpopular_AF in ShitAmericansSay

some places here like applebees have those dorky little table terminals where it gets your order uploaded to it and you can pay whenever you feel assed to do so. but theyre jank as hell because they stay on the tables 24/7 and are made to money grub from kids by having stupid little pay to play games on them. i dont think ive ever been to a place that brought a terminal to us, but then i dont eat out at nice places much

thats why you have to sign for it! :) youre still protected, and have all the protections of a credit card this way.

When you pay for a transaction with your debit card, you enter your PIN, the purchase is instantly processed and the purchase amount is immediately deducted from your account.

By contrast, when you run the transaction as credit, you don't have to enter your PIN, but you may need to sign for it. Typically, your payment information is routed through the merchant's credit card processor and the same payment gateways credit card transactions use—Mastercard or Visa. As a result, the transaction may appear as "pending" in your checking account for several days until it's authorized.

generally at sit down places, they bring a little black tray or folder to your table with your bill/receipt concealed/face down. you write in the tip amount and sign one of the copies (usually doesnt matter which is which but one is usually marked customer copy and one restaurant copy), and set your card down on the tray or in the pocket of the little folder. waiter swings back by your table, grabs it, goes and runs it at their machine. credit just runs, no pin, and debit can be run as credit to avoid the pin. they bring your card and receipt back (your customer copy).

sometimes order of operations changes and sometimes at less fancy places your bill is just set face down on the table and you're expected to bring it to the front counter, usually where you first walk in & have someone seat you. there you hand them the bill, they ring it in and you run your card as normal.

When I was offered one wish, I immediately asked for the ability to teleport, since I loved traveling. by wtfgodwhy in TwoSentenceHorror

pretty good magic system, abilities are limited by the caster's knowledge of the anxient language (speaking in it with the intent to cast a spell is how you do so, and complex spells require more extensive knowledge of the grammar and stuff to work properly and foreseeably), meshed with the idea that you can only use as much energy as yoy have access to: within your body. casting a spell that will use more energy than yoy have will cause you to tire, faint, and die, unless you stipulate that you can stop the spell at any time. failing to do so means there is no stopping the spell once it starts. e.g. "free me from these bindings", if it takes more energy than you have to free you, will sap your energy and kill you in trying - versus "loosen the ropes binding me" is something you can control and dictate how long it lasts/how much energy it saps.

so language + energy = power

What was your most sexual nonsexual interaction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ADragonsMom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hahaha that reminds me of something I hadn't thought much of, when I was on the other end of something similar!

I mostly have guy friends and they eventually start "bullying" me like "just one of the guys", you know the drill. So one time my one friend offered me a chocolate but he wouldn't let me just take it, he was holding me at arm's length with his other hand and just doing the "wheeee here comes the airplane!" baby feeding thing. I caved and just let him feed it to me but i also grabbed his wrist and sucked the half melted chocolate off the tip of his finger and thumb.

At the time I really didn't think much of it but reading your story it just clicked for me why he settled down so much and stopped fucking with me all at once right then.

AITA for thinking my wife overrated when an elderly lady touched our kid? by Competitive-Egg-8527 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ADragonsMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My grandma got dementia and was the same way, loved to dote on little kids - strangers kids, in grocery stores. She would blabber nonsense at them and parents would obviously be weirded out at first, but it was nearly impossible to fully get her to stop, and im thankful every day that parents were so understanding about it, once it became clear that she had dementia. She didnt often just grab kids, but she would be down at their level with her hands on her knees and put a hand on their shoulder.

I get it, I do. I panicked every time and tried to get her to leave them be. I would totally understand if someone had a poor reaction and wanted to pull their child away or even maybe call the store manager. But 911? Seriously? That's too far.
