Harbor Freight is fucking awesome.

I think the logic is to track data like this… I’ve never understood it either though…
Sigh…
That’s the Confederate Battle Flag in its modern representation (also known as the Rebel Flag). It’s based upon the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It’s an enduring symbol from the American Civil War between the United States of America (The Union), and the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy).
It’s really always been a symbol of bigotry. Some folks say it represents “heritage not hate”, but the reality is that it’s representative of a heritage of hatred, and to deny that to be willfully ignorant at best.
So yeah… it’s not the American flag, but it’s definitely still around and it makes me sad every time I see it.

What else should it be called? I don’t think there’s some moral responsibility placed upon the patron to make up for the loss, even with that name. It’s a gamble for the business that is usually thought out and is intended to lead to an increase in profits overall due to margins baked into items that aren’t on promo.
Sure, it’s considered poor taste to come to a restaurant solely for the free bread and some water and then leave, but it’s completely fair game to take advantage of a loss leading promotion like “endless shrimp” or Costco’s $1.75 for a hot dog and soda. The loss leader gets you in the door. They have other strategies to make that loss worth their while. If you walk in and pound more shrimp than Red Lobster can cover with the margins on the rest of your ticket, that’s their fault not yours… the house lost that bet.
Ad blocker, my dude. They’re wonderful.
He got released due to some shoddy legal work by the prosecution when they made an agreement with him in a civil case where he waived his 5th Amendment rights against self incrimination. He gave tons of self incriminating depositions in that case with the explicit understanding that he wouldn’t be prosecuted criminally.
Then they used those depositions to prosecute him criminally….

I fucking know a guy who claims he’s got no idea what heartburn is, and that he’s never had a headache. He’s about 70 years old and is probably the happiest most joyful person I’ve ever met.
Your house sounds awesome to look at, but my ADHD wouldn’t allow me to live there. Nothing would get done, and my family would die when the house collapsed.
So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?
Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
I wanted to say yeah… but I couldn’t be sure. Looking on her wiki page:
Don’t think she’d have those awards if she wasn’t pretty popular among her peers, and all of that was before the big scandal we’re seeing unfold now.
