I'd order, AND tip 40%, if it came with a cook and a drunk dude who could fight on my lawn.
Waffle House near me just went to delivery only. Who is out here ordering Waffle House for the food quality? It’s more for the dining experience.

If one ding-dong uses the R-word and you think it's ok to use the same slur to describe that ding-dong, you're no better than said ding-dong, ding-dong.
I simply cannot with this.
The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

I played WoW with an absolute muscle tank gym bro, and if anyone use the r-word in Discord he would always call them out.
“Not cool bro.”
“Hey dude don’t use that word.”
“Fuck off with that bullshit.”
We didn’t always see eye-to-eye on game stuff but I respect the hell out of him personally.
