I live in a state that has a rule that essentially all ‘outdated’ laws that use gender are updated to be gender neutral.

A couple years ago, someone pointed out this caused a bit of a problem in our beachside town, as technically the town bylaw that prevented women from sunbathing/ swimming topless, now read 'All people are banned from having exposed breasts and ripples in public, with a 75$ minimum fine. (Including men)

The two women who brought this to town meaning proposed a simple update, strike the old rule, and replace without everyone can be topless around the beach, but must be covered up down town. After all, its was 2023, and the Puritans had gone extinct as a religion 280 years ago.

This sparked a hilarious 2 hours of public comments.

My favorite was one lady getting up and being apoplectic about the thought of having to explain breasts to her grandsons and appealing to everyones sense of modesty. Her friend then got up, and was just like ‘didnt I run into you on <whatever foreign vacation resort laazt winter? Not only were you topless, your bikini was so small your hoohah was falling out all over the place!’

People kept forgetting the ‘no gender words’ thing, so theyd propose a rule to sneak around the gender issue, that read something like ‘no person may expose female nipples’, and the town councilor would very dryly read that back to them as "in practice that law would read “no person my expose human nipples”. All you’ve done is shift liability if someone helps another take their shirt off.

At one point, someone got smart with, “no Non-Dormant human sexual reproductive organs may be exposed in public” (meaning men’s breasts were okay)

Town council thought about it for a minute, and just said “that sounds an awful lot like 'youre allowed to sit on a bench down town, fully naked, as long as you dont get an erection.” "More seriously though, while that law doesnt fail the test outright, it is most guaranteed to get hit lawsuit and struck down before we ever get to beach season. "

On bro got up and claimed if the town took away his right to hop into his topless jeep, shirtless, to go on a beer run, he’d ‘take the law into his own hands, every day it was sunny out.’ Madame Moderator, as she prefers to be called, countered with “well then…” and “I believe i spea k for the entire town, when say I sincerely hope you never grasp any part of the law!”

Eventually we settled with “all people may be topless on public property within <town name> except where prohibited for reasons of sanitation or saftey” boring, but a win. I still have yet to see anyone topless outside of the nude beach. Well, Besides a coue female friends who lgo skinny-dipping whenever we have a night-time beach party, but the old laws werent exactly stopping them before, either.

Only time ive ever used a pallet doly was for moving pallets of liquor around a restaurant, so that works for me!

Sounds a bit like camping. I love camping!

When I managed in restaurants, I made it a policy to not give freebies to assholes - the more shameless they were the more of a dick id be about it, to the point of loudly comping deserts or giving diacounts to tables for “being such a pleasure to have dine with us.”

Sometimes id give a nearby table a 10% off (a discretionary ‘whenever’ discount we had programmed in, usually unde locals/ friends or similar) then ‘apologizing’ for the disruption caused to their experience.

It worked, too. Had some of the most well known ‘difficult customers’ in town trained to being over the top nice to my staff, in hopes of getting the discount. I also had a lot of the die hard assholes to the point where theyd just leave if they saw me working because they knew their crap wasnt going to play.

I still have some cds my high school gf burned for me…

She was soon after diagnosed scizophrenic. Jesus told her to burn all her rock music because it was evil. He apparently told her this thst morning while bathing in her coffee cup. After she’d done her collection st showed up at my house and started burning mine, so I wouldn’t go to hell either.

Does it take that long to move them?
I just take the back edge of a knife hold it over each of the 6 lines ill be cutting as a guide, and pull any of the pepperoni on the line one way of the other. Take like 5 seconds.
