  • The geography alone will prove problematic. And even if they lose, that doesn’t mean we win. I say we, I mean “The United States.” It will be expensive, we won’t achieve our geopolitical objectives, we’ll alienate our allies, I seriously can’t think of what is actually in it for the US.

    I don’t know if the us military is ready to occupy Iran, but just off the top of my head there are several reasons we (the US as a nation) will find it more difficult than Iraq:

    1. Iran is covered in mountains. Good luck maneuvering armor through there.
    2. There aren’t any good staging areas. From the Turkish border to Tehran is 1000km.
    3. Iranians will not greet us as liberators, no matter their opinion of the Ayatollah. They’ll tell us to fuck off.
    4. Iran has a military of their own, who will be fighting on heir home turf. They also have a network to rally those Iranians who want us to fuck off.

    This is a non exhaustive list but take it from this American with a passing interest in geography, invading Iran would be monumentally stupid. I think a failed invasion might be the best outcome. Like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, all rolled into one massive clusterfuck. A “successful occupation” would probably collapse us once and for all.









  • Hosts flat seat -> server workflow gets frontloaded -> servers spend all their time greeting and grabbing drinks/setups instead of prebussing -> bussers have to do more work to get a table guest ready -> hosts start to panic as the lobby fills up -> hosts yell at bussers to teleport around the restaurant as soon as a guest so much as thinks about the check -> repeat

    All of this just barely works until someone drops a glass in the ice, or we get behind on a starter, or a piece of equipment breaks, or literally anything goes wrong. And that’s just front of house, when you factor in the drama that can happen back of house when we’re understaffed and FOH demands too much too quickly it’s a miracle that there aren’t mass walkouts.

    I live in the death spiral. I have a different seat but we’re all on the same damn ride.



  • The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the “other 98% of the milk” since they skimmed half the fat off. Milkfat is actually not bad for you either*, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.

    Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won’t taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.

    IME customers fucking hate it when you infodump on them when they ask questions like this
