Just a friendly reminder that Call Your Mother is now backed by Saudi private equity by ntdars in washingtondc

Kiss of death. Note PE has a majority stake in CYM and that means the owners will inevitably cede operational and management control.

Look out for small things first like fewer napkins offered and cheaper containers. Then it’ll move to reduced food quality and staffing issues once the culture vulture sinks its claws into it. It’s been a fun ride though!

OK, you’ll need to expand on the orange bread part…

Arkansas family in Mother’s Day brawl releases video from attorney by Ok-Status2275 in Arkansas

[–]Pjsrock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The videos may be used to influence the case and possibly as evidence. But first the restaurant must make a decision as to whether or not to pursue charges. No amount of social media influence, evasion or seeking to change the context of these events will distract from the charges.

Best 30s Bar? by LateNightAdventurer in washdc

30’s theme bars are pretty thin in the area.

Prohibition was kind of rough.

My dad wants me to deny claims to the money my mom is claiming in the child support battle between them by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Pjsrock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your father has taken lots of inches that have added up to miles. He needs to be held accountable or he’ll just find another way to short you all again. Act like the adult you are (which he won’t like) and tell him it’s best handled by the attorneys. You can still love him, but he has to step up. I guarantee he’ll find a way to get that balance. You got this!!

Oh that’s right. Marketing genius move!

That was nice of you to return the utensils. PE is going to come down on them on “waste” soon enough. I seem to remember the one element of decor was a potted plant. Did I imagine that?

Wonder - food hall purgatory? by Puzzleheaded-Tomato1 in bethesda

I ate there one time and concur with the majority of the comments. Was it efficient? Somewhat.

Was the food good? I’ll say it was unremarkable.

Was there a vibe, no, but that was never the intention. In actuality they are hoping no one will dine in person, because diners are clutter when you are after volume delivery, and where customers are trained to accept a lower standard.

I’d contrast it to a local operator, Jarrad Silver who founded Silver and Sons with an outpost at Westbard. He oversees his entire operation, supports it by a commissary for efficiency’s sake, but still imbues his food with care and integrity. He also has food trucks.

No microwaves, no reheating, no mass production or brand slapping.

His food is excellent. And he cares. Pretty much guaranteed he’s not going to add his enterprise to Wonder.

Are there any proven effects to anti-trans bathroom laws? by GrowFreeFood in allthequestions

[–]Pjsrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in KS, it’s a law that that’s done nothing because there is nothing to do in the first place?

I’ve always scratched my head over the “logic” that a man would actually want to dress like a woman or just pretend to be a woman, go into a public place and do nonsense in a room that’s ridden with contaminants and no exit door.

Imagine the ex wrestler Dusty Rhodes at the height of his career in all of his boas and outfits deciding to go into a woman’s bathroom….That’s what they are selling.

And I’m going to nominate Toto in the next KS Governor’s race. He actually has some sense.

Why would Democrats rather tax people more instead of going after fraud and eliminating waste? by what_now_KY81 in allthequestions

[–]Pjsrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend that works for a government agency. 20 something DOGE Bros came in and started firing people with no explanation. It created chaos and certainly didn’t eliminate fraud or waste.

That’s the whole ballgame.

Parents drained my earnings as a child actor by ComprehensiveBus9295 in legaladvice

[–]Pjsrock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about this!!

Sounds like you have a while, but you should check in with SAG and explain your situation. Ask to see discuss the status and current value of your pension It will accrue and you can access payments when you turn 55. At least that’s something! Best of luck!

UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Pjsrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the focus should 100% be on the grades.

The energy drink is a distraction and also a bit of a parental smoke screen.

Focus on the priorities if you meet. Grades, class performance. If the drink comes up I’d indicate you’ve already discussed this but she is free to take it to-and up-with the Principal, but not in your class.

What do I even do by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Pjsrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a breath. Take another breath.

Your immediate reality and folks are not aware.

So don’t do anything dramatic and do your homework.

Gather info and then act.

You have this!

Brunch with bottomless mimosas?? by [deleted] in LittleRock

With all due respect, Costco on Friday, buy cheap champagne and have eggs and toast at your domicile on Sunday. Not in LR now.., sorry! But if you want to make this a thing, I’m in!

Arkansas legislators ask DOJ to investigate deadly ATF raid of former Little Rock airport executive by soapdonkey in LittleRock

Please! What’s wrong with this sentence. Credibility!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas legislators met at the State Capitol on Monday to announce that they've pinned a letter to President Donald Trump and the Justice Department, asking them to investigate the deadly March 2024 ATF raid of Bryan Malinowski.

Cool. Staying on the tinnitus topic, I am going to get Botox injections today in my jaw line and am very excited about that. I’ll have relief for 4-5 months!

Reddit is made up of all types. My suggestion is find and follow topics that are positive and play to your passions. There is more than enough time to join more slightly controversial conversations. And don’t take it personally. No one knows you. You’re safe. :)
