I went to high school with a kid who would only drink out of a baby bottle. He brought a large baby bottle to school every day. At first, we thought that he was using it to sneak alcohol or something, but he wasn’t. He would bring it filled with chocolate milk and then fill it up with Coca-Cola and Sprite during lunch. He’d buy a can of each and mix them together. Like I said, it was a large bottle.
I didn’t know the kid that well and I didn’t have any classes with him so I never really talked to him that much. I knew his name. His name was Kevin. Sometimes I’d see him at parties on the weekends. He still had his baby bottle. He would fill it with beer and rum.
He dated my sister’s friend, Emily, for a little while. I had known Emily for a long time. She had been a friend of my sister’s since they were five or six. They were really good friends. She spent a lot of time at our house for sleepovers and stuff. Sometimes she would pee the bed, but I never made fun of her for it. I think most older brothers would have loved the opportunity to make fun of their sister’s friend for peeing the bed and I think she really appreciated that I never mentioned it even though I definitely knew about it because after the sixth or seventh time, my parents started paying me to clean everything up instead of having to do it themselves.
I asked Emily why Kevin only ever drank out of a baby bottle and she said that she didn’t know. They had only been dating for a very short time at that point and she didn’t want to bring it up and offend him or anything. I asked her to tell me if she ever found out. They broke up right after that and I kind of forgot about it because Kevin stopped going to school. I don’t know if he transferred or dropped out, but I never saw him at lunch or any parties after that.
I hadn’t thought about him in a long time, but Emily happened to mention him while she was over at our house recently and I immediately remembered the baby bottle thing.
“Did you ever find out why he drank out of that bottle?” I asked.
“Oh yeah, he told me why,” Emily said. “He used it because he heard that babies that drink out of bottles for too long or drink sweet drinks out of them get really bad teeth problems. He wanted all of his teeth to go bad so that they would fall out and he would be able to fit a softball in his mouth. He said that he wanted to have the world record for being the first person to be able to put a whole softball in his mouth and he wouldn’t be able to do that with all of those teeth in the way.”

Uber went almost a week without some horrible fuck up. I thought maybe a change in management would be having a bigger impact than I expected. Nope! Turns out that the improper calculation of driver pay in NYC was them taking the sales tax and fees out of the drivers cut as opposed to making the passengers pay it.

like, thats an old fuckup though.
Saying that the change in management will retroactively fix all the bad stuff that happened before the change took place seems like asking a lot from them.
Even if they are the best replacements ever, they aren't chronomancers.

I should have been clearer. A change in management causing vast improvements in how PR is handled. I didn't expect them to fix previous fuck ups. And I'm sure at this point Uber is a minefield of PR disasters.

I'm still super mad they are instituting tipping and not changing the pricing structure.
Tipping is the one thing I could 100% be behind uber on at least in the beginning. Pay a fair wage per ride and don't make your customers perform acts of charity to create a living wage for the drivers, which in turn makes the service much less expensive for assholes.

I know academic sourcing is a whole different ball game than internet sourcing but it really gets under my skin when people post stuff they "found" online with a comment like "who made this??? :emoji:", since it shows a wilful intent to remove any possible chain of attribution to the text
You know who made it? Probably the person who yoinked it from! Or at least that's a good starting point to properly attribute the person who made it!

So I am back from my date with the planet science lady.
OMG I now have a huge crush.
So first, there was down pour. I was soaked through my clothing all the way by the time we met both drenched going to the bar. I just kind of gave the bouncer a look when he tried to stop us at the top of the stairs for ids in the rain. The dude was like, just go in. Score one for beard and such?
Got in, got beers. Sat and started talking. She first asked me my background and got me talking about Japan and about IR stuff which god I nerd out.
But then she talked about her stuff and it was so cool. She does models of planets exploding as her job. It is so neat. Then she told me about her family history. And we talked food a bit.
She initiated the hug. I am hoping we get date 2+ folks. She is the best date I have been on since my last gf.

There's a pile there, but like the deck, I see improvement
Let me show you the secret of getting a used tire and putting logs in that to split so that you get nice pieces that don't fly everywhere.

You are unmoved by the fact that he was a child soldier coerced into battle by his father?
Or by the fact that he was tortured and deprived of necessary medical treatment after his capture?
