#so fun fact: medieval heroes were narratively/culturally required to show submission to their lord/king #and if the hero WAS a king then they must show submission to god #but since this is middle-earth Aragorn shows constant submission to his fellows instead #and very very publicly in the end #which is a really cool way of maintaining the historical/literary inspiration while evolving the form to something new #like i’m no monarchist but it’s fantasy brent and i love me some inverted historical tropes

not to sound too millennial here but it annoys me so much when I’m at a restaurant and someone I’m with will complain about the service being slow like buddy pal it’s fine it’s not that important

You didn’t waited 40 minutes for a dinner before haven’t you?

i have but i also have, like, real problems

I waited well over an hour for food once at IHOP, because it kept coming out inedible.

We finally asked what was going on, and it turns out that the ONLY cook had been working for 36 hours straight with only a short nap.

I ordered the easiest thing to make, tipped the waitress heavily, and sent her back to the cook with a $10 tip for them, too, AFTER watching the 24-hour restaurant close the doors so that they could send the cook home for some rest.

Yeah, I’ve waited 40 minutes for my dinner, and I didn’t ask for a discount, we tipped VERY well, and sent the cook our best wishes.

If something goes wrong with your restaurant experience, consider that there are real people back there, working under god knows what conditions.

“Millennials” are more human than their previous generations imo
