Guys. Guys. Calculating tips. Just. Look at your bill. And move the decimal point one step left. That’s ten percent. Double that number. Now it’s twenty percent.
$100.00 bill? $10.000. Ten dollars. Double it. Twenty dollars. That’s a 20% tip.
$67.50? Now it’s $6.750. $6.75? Might as well be $7. Double it. Roughly $14. You’re not going to miss the change.
Do you ever cycle through the same 4 apps on your phone over and over again and feel like a tiger pacing its cage at the zoo
If you’re doing this, it is because you, like the tiger, need enrichment and variety in your life. May I suggest cramming just a whole bunch of raw hamburger into a pumpkin and rolling it around your enclosure?
Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King.
Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.
“This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the ‘70s and’ 80s are actually books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs - this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness, while paying tribute to the vintage design of the original covers,” Butcher writes on his Behance.
Because it’s not just Trump. It’s the whole damn lot of them:
–When Rome sacked Carthage in 146 BCE, they salted the earth and left the area so barren nothing could grow there for 1000 years.
–When the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258 CE, they slaughtered every inhabitant (a fate I am NOT endorsing) and destroyed irrigation canals that had made the desert bloom for thousands of years before the Mongols arrived. After the Mongols left, there weren’t enough people left in the area to rebuild those canals, and the land returned to desert. It was 800 years before the Fertile Crescent deserved anything like that name again.
–When, in 1864, Ulysses Grant ordered Phillip Sheridan to ride through the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia to destroy supplies so Confederate troops couldn’t use them during the Civil War, Sheridan told his forces that by the end of their campaign, the situation should be, “If a crow wants to fly down the Shenandoah, he must carry his provisions with him.”
The wipeout of the Trumpalot party has to be of a scale that the unborn children and grandchildren of Trump supporters will feel the defeat in their DNA.
