I spent the weekend reading about Suprematism and all it made me do was get mad at the concept of art

I hear "Jazz" music meant literally "gently caress" music. Guess what "Ragtime" music means.

That may or may not be true.

"Rock and roll" was definitely slang for loving.

Saw this in the bathroom of my favorite bar. Someone had secretly changed out the Employees must wash hands sign and it was up for a few days before any of the employees actually noticed. LOL.

You mean it was up for a couple of days before the waitstaff noticed the kitchen didn't smell like sweaty balls anymore and reported it.

Sorry to say jazz and rock weren't hated because of their perceived connection to sex.

It was because they were both invented by black people.

It's a Heavy Metal German style beer garden where the employees are infamous for and encouraged to be mean to the customers. I've been managing corporate run restaurants for over ten years and always said that this was the place I wanted to retire. During my interview I had the following exchange with my boss.

"How would you deal with an upset customer?" He asked.

"Well first I would try and deescalate the situation. Then I would identify the problem. Finally I would correct the problem."

"What if after all that they were still being a dick?"

I thought about this for a second. "Tell them to go gently caress themselves?"

Boss scribbles in his interview notes. "Correct answer."

That's basically how I work, since I'm the executive director and basically right below the owners themselves in authority. We're also accredited, which means we have strict rules that we can't break. I don't curse, but I'm very plain about telling people when they're not going to get something and I'll hang up if they just keep trying to talk me in circles or get too abusive.

I had one guy who called to report a problem with a test question and he spent 10 minutes ranting about how we're so lucky that he caught this and that we'll get people KILLED with this kind of misinformation. I'm not kidding, 10 loving minutes. Every time I tried to speak, he would cut me off to ramble again. He actually worked himself into such an angry frenzy over us not helping him (because he wouldn't let us speak more than a word) that he completely skipped over telling us what question and answer he had a problem with and escalated himself to "Let me talk to the owner."

I go "Oh, am I allowed to speak now?"

He starts ranting and demanding to talk to someone of higher authority than me. I tell him that I've just spent 10 minutes not being allowed to talk, that I am the highest authority in the building, and he can either tell me what he's calling about or I'm hanging up. He says he'll just call the owner directly and hangs up.

I ended up calling the training company he just tested at because I had a suspicion he had been rambling at them too. Yeah, they told me what question it was. He was wrong.

Two pages of this book by Chris (Simpsons Artist) were shared unironically as “OMG who really believes this?!?” and “I bet a MAN wrote this book lolololol” with thousands of people agreeing that this 100% Serious Birthing Manual seems suspect. And can I please get Arby’s and Horsey sauce with that?

Dude originally meant "Well groomed and fashion conscious man" then evolved to mean city slicker particularly those who traveled to the "Wild West" as tourists.

Now it just means dude because of surfers.

This dude was known as King of the Dudes

I remember hearing the original definition of "dude" was meant for female ranch hands or something like that, any idea where that could've come from?
