Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I live in the US NE and went for a run early this morning. It was only 72 degrees but near 100% humidity and I will tell you I could feel that the whole way. Humidity means you can't regulate your body temp with perspiration and once you get going it feels like 10 or 15 degrees hotter.
Probably the effect of the wind but I’m cool as a cucumber until I stop and then it’s buckets.

I find high humidity days I have to go on shorter runs (it is like your whole system isn't at full capacity or something). Today felt pretty humid, not sure what peak humidity was but the temp was in the high 80s. Tomorrow might be a bit cooler but the humidity looks like it is going to start out at 93%(I think it was more humid here in the morning today too but not sure).
 

Apparently I'm not on the internet as much as I thought. Author of several things I really like in the news for badness a few days ago and I just saw it.
 


That actually looks really good. And refreshing on a day like today! Something I have been dying to try is pickle pizza. Those took off after I found out I had celiac so I haven't had an opportunity to try one yet

I felt a great disturbance in the Pizza Force, as if millions of Italian Grandmothers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

There is a lot suss about that story,not least where and how it came out. I don't think it is out of line to ask for more information and 3rd party evidence, because as it is it sounds very much like a difference of preferences in two separate consensual relationships.
 

And while I might bemoan the spread of the tipping economy to all interactions, I still think that in America, you can tell a lot about someone from how they tip at a restaurant. Not everything, but some things.

Having worked in service I think this is very accurate. It isn't everything like you say but it tells you a lot about how much people can empathize. All I can think of is the Mr. Pink scene from Reservoir Dogs when this comes up. I also learned to make distinction between people who either simply don't know the right tip ratio or don't have a lot to leave a sizable tip and those who seem to enjoy giving service workers substandard tips to make a point (like if a person thinks tipping is out of hand or shouldn't be a thing in the US, fair enough, but you don't need to make your point on the back of some hard working waitress). Another observation I made, generally people with less money themselves left better tips overall (same with delivery). You might get an occasional massive tip from one nice rich person, but I was often surprised how much better the working class neighborhoods tipped
 

I mean, it sucks that it happened, but it's great that she found out before it went any further. Dodged a bullet there.

One of my "ways to identify good people" is pretty simply. See how they treat service workers, or others that they don't have to treat well. If they are nice and kind to people that they don't have to be nice and kind to, that's usually a good sign.

When I see folks being discourteous to servers, clerks, janitors, nurses and any who are not “the highest status” in their setting grosses me out.

Maybe especially if they are inconsistent and treat what they think as a higher status person differently. Just no.

Everyone gets a “have a good weekend,” “thank you,” “sir/ma’am,” from me. I don’t come from money—-my people all workwd hard. Many advanced and got education and money but the looking down on people is the worst —-and my proudest achievement is children that treat others with courtesy and respect.

That is more important to me than many markers of “success.”
