The US $2 bill was around from the beginning of Federally minted money (so the 1860s) until the mid-1960s. Then it was reintroduced with much fanfare in 1976, but it never caught on as more than a novelty item. Steve Wozniak is a big aficionado of the $2 bill, as was a dude I knew when I was in college and he was in grad school who was super pretentious and wore a pocket watch.

Geniasis posted:http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/1000-Tip-Surprises-College-Bound-Waitress-375981821.html The restaurant said it happened, the waitress said it happened. Not clear how much fact-checking you can do beyond that. I would just have not run the story.

ElGroucho posted:That whole community has a lot of conflicting interests. I remember there was some drama about not letting gay men do drag shows at some parade because it offended some transsexuals? Seems hosed up, since gay dudes were the ones who got the poo poo kicked out of them during the Stonewall Riots and other demonstrations, which more or less led to the gay rights movement. Two of the leaders of the Stonewall Riots were Sylvia Rivera and Marsha Johnson, though.

Thin Privilege posted:My (least) favorite one was told by I think actually elise but maybe I'm wrong about who it was that posted it. It went along the lines of, "I had this little old lady patient and was trying to get a catheter into her but I couldn't find the hole, then I noticed that there was an intact hymen. I asked her if she was sexually active and she said "yes when I first had sex with my husband it hurt but I thought it was supposed to hurt." Apparently she had been having sex through her urethra for 40 years and didn't know it." I mean, come on. That's loving literally physically impossible. It's been discussed in medical journals, so idk. 50 years on, twice the documented cases.

Yale undergrads did take over the university personnel office in 1969, and their suspensions were reversed within weeks, so that one could have happened to somebody's dad. Probably not that troper's dad, though.

I have had cab drivers and other people I'm interacting with in the course of business ask about why I don't have children and go on to say that it was a shame I didn't have any children. "Do you have children?" is a pretty common conversation starter between strangers over 30, along with "What do you do for work?" It's a little odd, but hardly a terrible outrage. So I believe 10% of that happened, the part where the driver asked if she had children.

life is killing me posted:No you see, Trump flipped the racist sleeper cell switch and all the prejudicial thoughts of Trump voters were activated into full-blown, overt KKK-style racism and racism simply didn't exist until Trump gave it permission! I don't think people reporting harassment are "whining" but you do you. Anyway, that's for the shit_that_actually_did_happen.txt thread, as opposed to the dumb letter, which is either a hoax by someone who wants to make Trump supporters look bad, or a hoax by someone who doesn't like a lady who wears hijab and wants her to think that evil Trump supporters are out to get her. Probably #1 but I know some teens who would pull #2, so.

we are the Funyuns posted:Most theaters are quiet. Some theaters are not. Let's just say that Death at a Funeral (2010) in Watts, CA would be much louder than Death at a Funeral (2007) in Bangor, ME. False. Every movie in Bangor (or any other rural population center) is punctuated by people saying, "Who is that guy? Is he the other guy's boss or what?" and "Why are they doing that again?" in the tones of people who have spent a lot of time using chainsaws.

Zelder posted:It's extremely cool that I'm going to live to see the death of journalism and possibly the death of information as we know it Nah, completely reputable newspapers routinely printed front-page stories about men on Mars and ghosts testifying in court all through the 19th and early 20th centuries. The fairly factual journalism of the 1950s - early 2000s was the blip and nonsense garbage is actually the norm.

I want to shop wherever you folks shop that the cashiers aren't always commenting on your purchases. Half the time, people are either asking me "Is this good? How would I cook this?" and the like, or making hilarious jokes like "Looks like you're having a party! Am I invited?" Trader Joe's is the worst for this.
