> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Not just drunk, but carrying an open beer can. Yes, from the “transcript”: [QUOTE=restaurant manager] I just denied you service. You can’t come here with an open bottle of booze, dude! Think about it, think. Ask anybody here, is it okay to walk in with a bottle of beer? NOOOOO…. … You are not listening to what I just said! I denied you service cause you’re drinking in our establishment. you’re not welcome here now, please leave, please leave. [/QUOTE] ---

Instead, you consume it: It’s more like a hot soup of cholesterol and late-night regret than an actual dinner. I’m still not totally convinced that the bacon bits aren’t mashed-up insects—like the ones my school started recently selling as food. Yes, UConn now has a food truck that sells crickets. No, I haven’t tried them. ---

> [@bucketybuck](#): > > The guy is clearly a bit of a dick. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable at the fact that he has been hung drawn and quartered by the internet for this crime. This guy can’t serve his time and then try to make something of himself, people are actually delighted at the fact that for the rest of his life his career prospects have been torpedoed because he got drunk and caused a scene in a restaurant. 1. I have no sympathy for him, and it’s not like he will be paying for one mistake but has a pattern of being a dick. 2. That doesn’t mean that in general terms you aren’t wrong. Trial-by-internet is an exercise in mass hysteria. > [@kaylasdad99](#): > > 1. Why is Youtube allowed to turn up the speaker volume on my tablet? That’s bullshit. It turned it up from a low volume or up from muted? Annoying, although I haven’t experienced it. Many devices have multiple volumes: the volume controls normally change the master, but have an independent control when playing games or listening to music, and another one when headphones are plugged in. Maybe only one was off? ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Anyone got a recipe for this bacon-jalapeno mac n cheese? That was my only thought on all of this. Sounds great but stop adding bacon to everything. My old college roommate was a decent dude. Got drunk, wasn’t let in the dorm and then he called the campus security people “faggots.” I don’t think he was homophobic, I just think he was trying to offend the people that angered his drunk brain. ---

He posted that on youtube and was all, “FUCK YEAH! look at me! I Social Justice Warrior! Rarrrrrr!” and then he got fired. ---

Must agree that I hate and scorn the Internet/Social Media Pillory/Pile-On/Shame Culture. Oh how lucky are we whose deeds in the young-and-stupid years are not documented and stored in servers… OTOH young & stupid or old enough to know better, people should _ **not** _ be gratuituous dicks/bitches/whatever to other humans and some price should be paid. But the punishment should fit the crime. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > {This guy} lived in jail for two years because of drunken assholery immortalized on YouTube. [Video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=337SEmLIZx8) (NSFW obviously; the sex assault part comes around 3:30). Not sure if he’s in a cardboard box now, but I’m guessing his job prospects are limited. > > (To be clear, I have no argument with his sentence. It was sexual assault, even if intended as only a joke. The parallel to the Mac & Cheese guy is disregard for consequences, not the result.) You might have bothered to mention the dude was flapping his dick around on camera in that link. ---

You can tell this occurred in Libtard America; the incident was allowed to drag on and on and on without a gun ever being drawn. :smack: If they were real Americans, the disturbance would have been over in the time it takes to draw. Should the boy have been allowed to order a cheeseburger? Let the Second Amendment decide. ---

On the one hand I kinda feel sorry for him. On the other hand the “apology” he posted after the shit hit the fan was a pretty much a non apology where he mostly talked about himself…so I’m kinda torn.
