how to tip
If you do this get the fuck off my blog
Please understand that they gave a 33% tip, in cash instead of on a card, to increase the odds that the server could keep all of it.
What they mean by ‘taxation is theft’ is that servers are taxed on the ASSUMPTION that they will be tipped. If they don’t make those tips, they get taxed on them anyway. It is literally theft. By leaving cash and not writing it on the receipt, they’ve allowed the server the option of quietly slipping that 20 into their pocket and therefore not being taxed on it.
Damn I thought folks knew this …
Nope. Actually no body ikno knows this
cash is king when it comes to tips

I m sorry to do this to you,but i need to vent. I happened to read a post on the shame farm. they said it was amazing that now flint and thomas would no longer have to make decisions. I mean … what ????
Oh Anon. If you’ve been following me, you know what I think of the shame farm. You know that the idea of it is soul-shudderingly awful to me, for so many reasons, but the chief among them being that the men there aren’t just relieved of the responsibility of making decisions – they’re denied the right to, and those are two very different things. So while I think that for a time, yes, James might find it a relief to not be in charge of anything, I think that Thomas has had ten years of being denied the right to decide his own life, and I think by the time James finds him he’s probably absolutely burning up with anger about it. And I think that when James is done being absolutely exhausted and hurt down to his very marrow, he’d get them both out of there faster than you’d believe, and probably burn the place down in the process, and Oglethorpe would deserve that and more for stripping them of their rights and their dignity as people.
See now all of a sudden I’m suddenly head-cannoning that it was Thomas who got them out, not James. I think you’re right, I think by the time we see Thomas on the shame farm he’s probably burning up with rage, but kind of has nowhere to direct it and thinks there’s nothing for him on the outside anyway so what’s the point. But then he gets James back, James who is hurt and exhausted and has been through actual hell and back in the ten years they’ve been apart, and now Thomas has something solid to fight for. And oh boy does he – I’ll bet Oglethorpe never knew what bloody hit him!
That is very true. Thomas has, in fact, probably thought of a dozen ways to leave that place by now, and getting James back is likely to be the moment that he understands just how far he’s buried his own anger and how much of it there is to come out, and let me tell you that realization is… quite something. Especially when it starts with seeing someone you care about treated like shit – it’s like a release valve for when the normal “someone hurt me and I didn’t deserve that” pipe has been blocked.
Absolutely! Plus it can be so hard to do something for your own sake, especially when you’ve been through years of abuse, but doing the same something for someone you love? Different ballgame.
I have this image in my head (which I find rather funny – probably says unfortunate things about me) of Oglethorpe’s face when he realises, with his guards incapacitated and his shame farm burning around him, that it was Thomas who instigated it and not James. Just the absolute lack of comprehension, as if only the pirate could be the reason for any of it, and not the years of systematic abuse and deprivation he’s imposed upon people who didn’t deserve it.
…in Totally Unrelated News (ok I’m lying, it’s related 100%), keep an eye on Reclamation….
EVERYWHERE—Claiming that they just couldn’t stand this bullshit anymore, Americans across the country confirmed Friday that someone, anyone needs to please, just make it stop. “Please, please, please, we’re begging you here, just put an end to it immediately,” said sources, noting that it had all gone way, way too far and they would do almost anything for even a few glorious minutes of respite. “We’re on our hands and knees, pleading with you to make it all go away once and for all. What’s it going to take? Jesus Christ, just stop it! Stop it right now!” At press time, sources confirmed that they knew deep down it was never going to stop.

I believe that from the middle of the third season James has come to reconcile James McGraw and Flint within himself. A place where James McGraw and Flint exist together, occupy that space together, and that’s the person we see in the finale.What do you think?
I think that’s exactly what we’re seeing, Anon. I think the dreams of Miranda are significant in that when they end, we see James start to be able to function again the way we’re used to him doing. He goes to the Maroon Queen, makes his speech to her, and it’s the first time all season that we see him actually believe that there’s something worth fighting for beyond vengeance against England for Miranda’s death. He says himself in the beginning of s3 that he’s fighting because of what England did to Miranda (and of course, to Thomas – that’s been true all along, though, and goes without saying). As of the middle of s3, though – that’s when we see him give up completely and then Miranda in his head raises the idea that he’s not alone. Whatever you want to believe she meant, I think that’s the moment that James picks himself up off the ground, dusts little bits of Flint off of himself, and figures out how to live with what’s left. I distinctly remember several moments in s4 when I found myself thinking “oh thank fuck – he’s doing so much better,” and it’s because he’s stopped being just Flint and clawed some bit of McGraw back out of the depths. I think that’s also why he throws himself so wholeheartedly into being part of the Maroons’ cause – because it gives him someone to fight alongside, someone that understands what he’s been saying.
#This dwarf is the most badass dwarf in the entire film #Look at that shit he doesn’t even blink #The only reason Sauron didn’t try to pull his shit sooner is because this guy was still alive #Because this guy would’ve picked up that glowing eyeball shit #And SMASHED IT BETWEEN BIG FUCK OFF HAMMERS WITH HIS BARE HANDS

SHIT I didn’t even fucking realize that he was HOLDING that red hot piece of iron. In my menory he was holding it with some sort of tool. DWARVES MAN.
You know the more I think about it, the more the free races of Middle-Earth need to shut the fuck up about all of this ‘dwarves keep to themselves in their mountains and do not concern themselves in larger matters’ whining. Because from what we’ve seen? If dwarves really got interested in anything other than making badass jewelry and singalongs, they’d have taken over the entire world in about a decade. Sauron would’ve taken one look at that shit and been like NOPE GONNA STAY AN EVIL POWERLESS SPIRIT THANX
Sauron had a fuck of a time corrupting the dwarves anyway. The seven rings that wound up in their kingdoms were meant to do what they did to mortal men- bend the will and make the leaders slaves.
Instead all it did was cause greed, which (while in its own way terrible) wasn’t enough to sway the dwarves to Sauron. It did bring a lot of dragons, though.
