  • Many of them are, many of them aren’t. Largely due to the passing of time, jokes that may have been a hit when these were written just aren’t funny in today’s society.

    Alternatively, and also very true, even the greats have bad works. Not every piece will be popular and funny.

    In this case… Yeah, I’m not getting it either. Could be a piece about altered expectations. One would expect classy/classical music in a big home like this, blues just wouldn’t be “right” in this scenario.



  • Do you assume right-handed english-style writing to be the default way everyone writes the world over, in all languages?

    This is just my high talking, but I believe our right-handed dominance is tied to our language being written left to right. Had our ancestors chosen to write from right to left, perhaps we would be a left-handed dominant society.

    If you believe there is an objective reason one is better than the other, then I’m all ears.











  • You’re so close to seeing the point. Yes indeed that the restaurant should be able to see if reservations are being changed around and be involved in those decisions, such as being able to restrict how they’re transferred and charging fees to do so. Your first paragraph is what is needed and what the law is trying to get these third parties to do.


  • It’s not illegal to book a reservation and then turn around and give that reservation to someone else (scheduling conflicts, medical emergencies, etc) with the other person paying you for it. To me it’s a perfectly valid thing to do. The problem is that it’s being commercialized and creating confusion for both customers and restaurants who no longer know who’s booking their tables.
