Suddenly I got this urge for chocolate. Weird.

i like how the bar turned into a restaurant

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the UK you can buy food there

[–] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You can buy food in the UK now? They've came along way

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Being able to and wanting to are different, however.

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 5 points 1 day ago

just because they call it food ; doesn't mean that it is food.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

Aye but we consider it a luxury

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

If you're that rich, they will just let you turn a bar into a restaurant

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 19 points 1 day ago

He was in the bar for a looong time.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A bar is technically a restaurant I think. At least I feel the terminology can be vaguely applied.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Where I live any establishment that serves alcohol to be consumed on premises must also serve some sort of food option to go with it. So by that token, all bars are restaurants here.

Yeah up until a couple years ago my state had a requirement that any business that made more than 70% of its income from sales of alcohol were required to be private clubs with memberships. Which is why so many bars and pool halls had a dusty clipboard with "guest sign-in sheets" near the door that everyone ignored. Like many things, this didn't survive the pandemic.

We have (had?) separate registrations for bars vs restaurants, and there are (were?) limits on how much revenue from each source a bar vs restaurant could have (bars must primarily derive income from alcohol, restaurants from food). I haven't seen the little signs they used to have to place out front that signified whether the establishment was a bar or a restaurant, so I'm not sure if they changed the rules generally or just that one.

Same here, but that can be covered by chips and peanuts so it doesn’t mean all bars have a full kitchen.

Also I know a place that’s 3 bars in one. All three are music venues. The two big rooms don’t serve food, but the third is always free and has an awesome kitchen. They get around it that way.

Sometimes there’s two different shows going on so you’d have to pay for each of the big rooms upstairs, but downstairs is accessible to attendees of either show.

When you want to write an interracial, humiliation-kink erotica but you only know how to post on LinkedIn.

  1. How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?
  2. How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?
  3. Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?
[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago

This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?

The story itself isn't a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.

How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?

Maybe he's targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).

Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

Ask him? His name is on the image.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.

[–] bunitor@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 1 day ago

this is supposed to be one of those "take that, racist prick" stories. these are pretty common

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 62 points 2 days ago (3 children)
  1. The point of the joke is the rich man is racist and/or misogynistic.

  2. It’s just a picture of a woman?

  3. Probably something horny and vaguely racist.

[–] superkret 42 points 2 days ago
  1. It's pretty obviously a casting-couch-type picture.
[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How did the bigot know the guy was Jewish?

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's in the setup of the joke

  1. Restaurant/bar owner black ladies called Albert Einstein. Its the first result on google image search.
[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Where does the bus driver fit in this story though?

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

I refuse to believe that you don't already know the answers to 1 and 2 and that you don't have an inkling about 3

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Race is relevant because it's the point of the joke (he's racist, but his racism is foiled). Gender isn't relevant. The picture is what makes this dude a lunatic. If I saw this shit and I worked with him I'd forward it to HR with the note "hey just file this one away, you don't need to act on it right now but you're definitely gonna want this receipt sooner or later".

Isn't it supposed to be like those riddles where the answer is that the doctor's a woman?

Wow, I did NOT expect that story after seeing the picture. Doesn’t seem related.

Hey guys, I found the restaurant owner

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 69 points 2 days ago

She's the owner of the restaurant, duh.

From reddit: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3aERIZg2Fp/ (ririshanpriel is tagged)

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

anok yai, maybe

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Was the man's name JD Vance?

Also, are we supposed to believe that someone is not buying the lady pictured here a drink??

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well shes just kinda crouching in the corner quietly judgeing everyone with an un happy look. Then says thank you whenever someone buys something. I wouldve stayed clear of her too.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

I should design a userscript that completely removes the "social" feed of LinkedIn. Then I might actually use it, without being bombarded by the weirdest narcissistic attention seeking behavior I've ever seen.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Good on ya. I think I would rather literally be hunted by dogs than engage with LinkedIn as a serious platform.
