  • Breakfast cafés go downtown. IHOP likes to hang out with Olive Garden and Chili’s. Dennie’s is for old people. Waffle House will go places where the gas stations have bulletproof glass. They are in places where people need cheap food at 2:30 am. Waffle House is for travelers and partiers. They are for the unemployed, self employed, third shift or just shifty. Being open 24/7 makes them a place to be. Somewhere you can go to. Occasionally there are people who need to go somewhere and they are a little stressed out, a little wound up. Maybe a few screws loose they try to fix by huffing the thread locker. Getting a little glue to fix the cracks. So the staff is people who will work at a place that has crazy show up at 3am. They tend to be a bit gangster.

    So to this question, a customer from Waffle House who would start a fight is someone who is willing to fight the entire staff in one go and usually doesn’t stop till they catch a barstool to the head.

    That said, don’t be afraid to go to a Waffle House. They are exactly what it says on the box. Waffle and coffee, cheap. Most people there are happy, tired, and/or want to be left alone.

    Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.

    Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.

    Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.




  • What we have seen with Tasers (the company is Axon now and they are doing Flock camera things too) is that the line didn’t noticeably move. The cops still shoot as much as they want and use tasers mostly for “compliance” and laziness. Giving cops shock gloves won’t lower shootings, they will only increase torture. Thought exercise. Person outside of touch range, gun or gloves? Next scenario: cop turns on gloves, grabs civilian, and starts yelling “stop resisting”.

    Taser/Axon coined the pseudoscientific term “exited delirium” as a cover for cops killing civilians with their tasers. This was cops tasing people for extended periods of time, even after handcuffed, and using tasers when they were not needed.







  • Back in the late 90s there was a brutal multiple victim murder where some random guy walked into the back of a local restaurant before it opened and killed everyone in the kitchen. Some TV station did a true crime story on it where they changed the all the names but the local police had a copy and knew it was that story. I kind of realized then that they just pull the subject case out of a hat and slap on The Voice, a camera filter, and follow the formula of tense interviews and add breaks.


  • Yes, they have a very good idea on accuracy. For the record, I was originally a young earth creationist but curiosity got the better of me. Geologists are very obsessive about rocks so it’s just a case of puzzling out what rocks match perfectly despite distance, accounting for things like erosion or volcanoes, and lining up the various ages of rocks for when they were made and when other rocks filled in. Then add fossils to check connections and weather conditions. There is obviously more than this, but it’s something a person can get real deep into.

    The planet would not be noticeably different in size. The last time the earth got a noticeable rise in mass we ended up with a moon. There is evidence of objects in the lower mantle that are most likely old sunken tectonic plates, but I don’t recall details.
