Yeah it really does, though blocking doesn't work the best when someone is reblogging something (say, art done by a former friend that I have blocked but they're very popular in that specific community and their stuff gets reblogged a thousand times), but that is a very specific situation and on the whole I think it's pretty good.

I'm assuming he means the "okay" hand gesture that alt righters were using for a long time

Yeah, that's not the okay sign, it's specifically with the fingers splayed out, which can mean 'white power'. He'd probably claim it's the 'circle game', where you... trick someone into looking at the circle of your fingers? I don't really get it, but it's not the same thing, but people trying to be coy about white power often try to have plausible deniability. Given his later alt-right outright-fash stuff, though, white power seems more likely.

EDIT: It's white power because the fingers are supposed to make a W and the loop is supposed to look like a P. It's dumb as gently caress but there you go.

If anything the fault is with the corporate rules that penalize a store for having a car wait 'too long' at the window when there's no line. But people always want to take things out on the workers they can see.

Then you'll just have people screaming about how they did it properly when they did their time. The solution is to give customer service staff an "rear end in a top hat customer execution waver" each year and a gun.

I would have used it on the old guy, on Fat Tuesday years ago, who asked me what would happen if he threw beads at me.

I was too busy to really comprehend what he was hinting at, until I took my next bathroom break and it hit me that I had just got sexually harassed at work. Neato!

When I was bartending years ago, I had a few customers at the bar trying to get my attention and when I got close one of them motioned for me to lean over to hear her (as it was pretty loud), and when I leaned in she kissed me on the mouth.

I asked her to leave, and she got really huffy about it, so I called a bouncer and she left shouting the f-word at me.

Every time I had to throw a patron out, we had to write it up, and when I came in next my boss just had a poo poo-eating grin and asked me, “what was wrong, was she fat?”

I went back into construction a few weeks after that.

If you order fast food and expect your order to be 100% correct, you're the loving moron.

My tastes are simple; pickles and tomatoes are gross to me. That includes things like relish, I guess. So that's all I ever subtract. Hey, can I get this, whatever, whatever, no pickles or tomatoes please.

Has it ever been correct? Not a single loving time. They'll often omit the pickles and tomatoes but then I get some other thing entirely. That's why you go to fast food, for the adventure.

My understanding of the circle game is that it has to be below your waist. otherwise you could just through up the circle directly in some ones eyeline and get to hit them in the arm.

Yeah, and the thing I don't get is if it's the circle game why do people do it in photos if it's some agreed-upon 'I trick you into looking at this I get to hit you on the arm' thing like flicking a nose for fake untied shoelaces.

I always found it pretty funny that you actually can land on a gas giant in Warframe. You can land on Uranus! Because it's been terraformed with ultrascience.

It's also a really unfun part of the game, compared to the content before and after it.
