        Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn’t even want me to know, let alone take part.

        Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don’t know, it’s a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

      So that they help you quickly when you need it. Not saying it’s right. Just saying that’s how it works.

        Idk man, where I live, cops have to help you as quickly as possible when needed. Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

          The problem is it’s hard to prove they could have been quicker

      Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

      Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

      Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they’re capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

      In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it’s whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.

    Sorry to bother you but it is “missing the cue” not que or queue. Just fyi for the future.

      But what if I cut in front of the line because I missed the queue?

      Exactly! Cue starts with c like call or clue, which are sort of what it means.

      Queue is a bunch of letters standing in line for no reason (since Q alone would sound the same)

      Que is pronounced like the beginning of queso

      What if you didn’t realize there was a line and just went to the front?

        Then the person at the front of the queue must clear their throat until you realise your mistake and return to the back of the queue.
