USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@bigcontentguy I like to think this is what Jesus actually looked like when he walked on water

@StatisticUrban Cattle ranches I believe. Not sure why it would’ve originally been designated a county but it’s some harsh land and climate for much else.

Genuinely unbelievable how good the synergy between Hernan Cattaneo’s and Nick Warren’s music is. The b2bs are out of this world.

Baltimore by Nina Simone has to be one of the greatest songs of all time, bar any genre

"How does a German decide to be a Buccaneers fan?" wonders a man who woke up at 6:30 am in Illinois to watch Aston Villa lose to Fulham 1-0.

@DragonflyJonez Legitimately might be your funniest tweet 😂. Pretty sure this is actually on a WWE PPV. We were just looking for reasons to be upset in life along with the Dr. Thunder version of Nirvana.

Might legitimately be my favorite LFC player of all time, bummer!
