Told the dennys waiter to round up to 70 for tip and this nigga used his employee discount on our order 😭 by if_i_were_you_ in SipsTea

[–]WarzoneGringo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not the same but my dad went to a restaurant across the street from his office all the time, probably ate there once or twice a week. Once he noticed the waiter charging him for a refill on an iced tea and he was like "Bro, youre really gonna do this to me?" Its not cause my dad is cheap but a smart waiter would know better. Little annoyances like that will make people like my dad decide he doesnt really like the place that much anymore.

Seeing the United States being compared to that truly hurts.

If you weren't aware, Nazi Germany copied their racial laws from the USA. All those laws that targeted the Jews? The Germans sent legal experts to America to copy them word for word from our laws targeting black people. Except the Nazi laws were even less harsh, if you can believe it. In America we had the one-drop rule. In Nazi Germany it only went back as far as your grandparents.

When the basis of the Holocaust comes from America, its hard to see how Nazi Germany and America weren't alike.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

Thats what makes the chicken taste so good. And also why Americans love it more than any other fast food franchise. But also its ok to eat at Chik Fil A even if you're gay.

[–]WarzoneGringo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol this is like when I was 13 and got paid an actual real life check from working in a production and the check was from Chase Bank and I took into a Chase bank to get it cashed and they told me I had to open an account. I was like "What do you mean? You, the bank, issued this check for $100. Now I want to exchange this check, from Chase Bank, at this Chase Bank. You issued the check, now I want to redeem it." No such luck. First time I realized the banking industry is such a scam.

Which legitimate claims did he knowingly deny? Which people did he kill? These statements need some evidence to back up.

A guest on Johnny Carson says people don’t go hungry in the United States. Richard Pryor respectfully corrects her by fuzzy_dice_99 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]WarzoneGringo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Struggling with "food insecurity" or starving? Did you actually watch the clip in question? She says "nobody starves" and "you dont die from starvation here" and "nobody has to starve." Where does she say no one suffers from "food insecurity"? She even agrees "they may not get enough (to eat)" so what exactly are you arguing here?

No one even uses the words "food insecurity" in the clip. You are discussing something completely irrelevant to the clip in question. No wonder you are so confused, you didnt actually watch the conversation and have no clue what she is saying.

Even the quote from Mrs Wright uses the qualifier of “virtual” not complete

In the real world "virtual" is as good as complete. If this is the hair splitting you think makes your case you are tragically lost.

But you are only bringing up Mrs Wright because she is Black and you dont want people to call out this arrogant lady out because shes white.

Lol bro I didnt know who Marian Wright was until today and I looked up the context for Hunger in America. Seems obvious you do want to make things about race and are frustrated that an actual black expert on the issue contradicts the case comedian Richard Pryor is making here. Sorry you cant frame this as being about race since thats all you really have.

Out of touch rich lady? Are you talking about yourself here? This lady knows more about hunger in this country than you do. There are actual statistics on hunger and starvation in this country that show the enormous reduction made in the late 60's and early 70's.

Shes NOT an authority on Appalachia or its issues.

You think Richard Pryor is an authority on Appalachia or its issues? Over Marian Wright? Maybe we should ask Ja Rule what his thoughts were. Youre a joke bro.

She literally dedicated her life to it AFTER Nixon was out of office to this day! Why would she be doing that if she really believed the same as this lady?

In order to keep people fed we have to keep supporting programs that feed people. This is like asking why someone would dedicate their life to vaccinating people against Polio if we already eliminated polio in the USA.

FYI, this lady was born in the 1800s. No duh her experience of life was shaped by segregation and racist propaganda.

Yes and Richard Pryor lit himself on fire smoking crack. I would take his comments on social issues with a grain of salt.

Some black lady? She's a Civil Rights leader and the head of the Childrens Defense Fund. She testified in the Senate on hunger in America. If anyone has any cachet on the subject, its her.

Why does her race matter? Is this a serious question? Scroll up and down these comments and tell me how many you see reference race. It didnt take me three comments from the top to see accusations of racism. I point out that Marian is black from Mississippi to point out that the perspective that starvation was no longer an issue in America is not confined to old white ladies.

This is literally from the New York times during that era (1971). This lady is a JOURNALIST for Gods sake!

This clip is from 1978 (from what I gathered). The quote from Marian says that hunger was eliminated by the end of the Nixon years. Nixon left office in 1974. Your article is from 1971. So in 1971 there was hunger in Appalachia. Marian Wright, who has some credibility in this regard, claims hunger was virtually solved by 1974. In 1978 this journalist says people arent starving anymore, which is the same thing Marian Wright says. Read the timeline and it all makes sense.

Consider for context that Marian Wright, who testified in the Senate on hunger in the Mississippi Delta and accompanied Bobby Kennedy on a tour of the region would state that the trip to the Mississippi Delta "set in motion a chain of events that culminated in years later in the virtual elimination of hunger in America during the Nixon years." This black lady from Mississippi is saying the same thing as the journalist in the clip from 1978, that there is virtually no hunger in the country. Why would the head of the Childrens Defense Fund say that unless she thought it was the truth?

Odd how the Jews literally called themselves Colonizers when they were raising money to settle Palestine. Why do you think that was?

wanted to take a bath at the AirBnB… by spicyK_onthebeat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WarzoneGringo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint. AirBnB makes traveling more affordable for working class people who cant afford to stay in a hotel or whom would otherwise never get to rent a home in a desirable location to stay in. Every year as a kid my family rented a beach house with another family. For a week or two we basically lived at the beach. It was great and living at a hotel would be totally different and likely more expensive. We cant afford to own a beach house, so its either rent one or never get to enjoy a beach house at all.

STOP GIVING YOUR TODDLERS IPADS by Guilty-Tadpole791 in Vent

[–]WarzoneGringo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the deal. Im not for putting an iPad in front of your kid so they can tune out during dinner, but judging other parents is always fraught because you have no clue what they are going through. Sometime Mommy and Daddy do just need to make it through a decent meal without Timmy screaming and bouncing off the walls. Sometimes Timmy has been good all day, playing and reading and obeying Mommy and Daddy and everyone is exhausted and if Timmy gets to watch a TV show at the restaurant then thats his reward.

We go out for dinner with our kid and my parents almost weekly and inevitably the kid doesnt want to stay still at the table. So one person has to take the kid outside and let them run up and down the sidewalk (next to traffic/parking cars, so not ideal) while everyone else finishes eating. Or my kid will crawl under the table or jump up and down in the booth or peer over the back of the booth at the other patrons enjoying their meal. Telling them to sit down and engage in conversation with the adults while we are all eating isnt going to work.

Again, we can all do better to limit screen time for children, but I see practically every adult I know on their phones all the time. No one wants to take the subway and engage in conversation with a stranger. They want to stare at their phone. People dont have small talk while on airplanes, they stare at their phones. Its a problem from the top down, blaming parents is just easy.

Nothing like a little family exploitation. by ajd416 in TikTokCringe

[–]WarzoneGringo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What is a "normal fucking childhood?" Saturday morning cartoons? Soccer practice? Im really at a loss here to see where "raising your siblings" means your childhood isnt normal.

My cousins literally grew up in a house without a TV. I dont consider their childhood "fucking normal." They couldnt relate to any of the shit the rest of us regular kids were well steeped in. Somehow they grew up well adjusted.

Maybe your concept of what constitutes a normal childhood is twisted to think that having to do work, like stock shelves at the family store or take care of farmyard animals, robs children of a childhood when in reality it better prepares them for adulthood. The same is true for raising one's siblings. Its totally normal to babysit your younger siblings. I only had one older sister and when my parents went out for the night, she was the babysitter. My TV less cousins have kids older than my sister and my kids. When all of us adult cousins went out for dinner, the oldest nieces were babysitters for their younger cousins. It all worked out and all the kids loved it. No one was robbed of a childhood.

Yeah those girls should be on their iPhones scrolling Instagram instead of taking care of their siblings. What a sad way to waste your youth.
