Youd be called racist lol

I mean, sure. if I recounted it that way.

Sorry I shoudnt be finding that funny

I find it funny, too.

Id cross the street if I saw a group of youths

I think it's funny when people talk about microaggressions like that

knowing that microaggression would've spared me a somewhat traumatic experience.

Dude its easy being virtuous about something that does not affect you personally

Then again theres some retards who still spout it after being burned.

basically, one of them made a hoot right behind me to get my attention, they had circled me. One of the guys that was behind me swung at me

I caught the movement coming from my right side and moved with it.

Like that one who refused to report her rape

oh, first someone knocked the pizza that I was carrying for a delivery out of my hands.

then someone swung

Forgot about the pizza.

waste of a damn ~~Goodfellas~~ Wiseguys pizza.

(You can google these locations to figure out where it happened, lol)

Excuse me! I was wrong!

It was Wiseguys. Goodfellas is a Dallas restaurant.

Jesus those names are synonyms

Yeah. I know.

ha

Fuck me for following my instincts yeah?

I avoid groups of youths, not blacks.

If it were a group of black elderly men id stick to my path.

From that point forward, I was incredibly nervous about anyone passing me for a while.

I still generally carry a gun or a knife in my car with me, out of sight.

As a pizza deliveryman are you allowed to be armed on the job?

I treat it as don't ask, don't tell.

Technically, the arrangement I work under

I'm my own boss.

If they want to dictate whether the second amendment applies to me on the job or not, they can pay my worker's compensation.

But since I'm given no such guarantee, my life and property is in my own hands.

So based man

Id say that if I end up in the us

Pay me less, let me have a gun, and they dont need to pay me comp for injuries sustained.

If only the healthcare there wasnt memeably expensive

It's gotten to that point as a result of government meddling, mostly.

If the FDA weren't operating as a protectionist arm of the pharmaceutical companies, things would likely be different.

One of the main reason medicine is mass produced and STILL expensive is that certain companies have monopolies on treatments.

Some of the standards required for FDA approval are prohibitively expensive, as well.

Does not work. Its a buisness and they charge by how much someone will pay

There are multiple issues with the healthcare system...

That someone who pays is now a corporation, and not just an individual.

Where does the price go?

Taxpayers?

Price goes up.

Well its the govt, they never got good at spending responsibly

When you buy Health Insurance, you mitigate the risk of illness or injury by putting the financial burden on an insurance company.

As such, you are no longer the customer.

The insurance company is.

Combine that with a mandate that EVERYONE has insurance now

The solutions are few, and they're ethically gray.

Add to that that hospitals pass on the costs to the customer (they don't really give prices, just costs).

Well, yeah.

You have to consider that there's an inverse to supply and demand, as well.

You've got supply, the hospitals.

But the demand for hospital care is a matter of life or death.

It's just weird that hospitals don't set prices, it's more insurance that does via the way things are handled.

And yet, we've given the health care system entirely over to insurance agencies.

It's even worse that most insurance set prices are based off of medicare prices.

So, indirectly, it's actually priced by government

Also, Medicare often can't even afford to pay it's bills.

Many doctors won't accept medicare or medicaid, because they bounce checks.

It's actually because Insurances set prices to pay better than Medicare.

I need to stop looking at maps of DC.

I'm getting hungry thinking about Wiseguy Pizza, &Pizza, and Cava Grill. -_-

Medicare has the worst rates, but they set them first and the insurance companies base their stuff off of Medicare prices.

Look up English food. That should stop the hunger

ew... greasy food

Delicious greasy food.

TENDIES

No.

NO.

You back the fuck away from my Fish and Chips with that 'Tendies' crap.

Ughh the food here looks disgusting

But why does it taste so good

FISH TENDIES

Close enough.

Good summer food:

Is that teriyaki salmon on rice?

Unagidon

Eel?

nice, juicy, fatty unagi

What's the sauce, though?

Usually a sweet eel sauce

Eel sauce is sweeter than teriyaki

Looks pretty close to a Teriyaki.

I could probably dig that.

Eels nice

That looks fucking delicious.

the salt and vinegar

Jeeze

I went to Virginia several weeks ago for a wedding

Jap food?

Rural virginia. Like, within view of Whitetop Mountain.

Damn thatvsounds amazing. Windy there?

Blueridge or more Tidewater?

oh, not tidewater
