Cultural Appropriator. Have you tried my tacos?

I love this.

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.

@1concordia @SteveOnSpeed Until you’re so rich, you have nothing to do, so you mow your own lawn again. Seen this so many times.

@elsathora @GoldingShowers Definitely do this. The 4th on a lake, with a drink, is the ONLY way to enjoy it.

About the same, touch more. And that’s for replacement insurance. My financial advisor guided me this. If the house burns down, insurance has to rebuild as is and replace everything inside—not just the value at time of insurance purchase.

@RudyHavenstein Proves that only those of us here on X are really paying attention. Or, we’re all just crazy. Either way…

@JesterJum Pretty sure it’s not logic. We removed the private control of student loans thus making education more expensive and loans more freely available. The private market would/has said no. The government will never say that.

@ChaseDaniel The cities are changing though. Less of the nice. Makes me what’s happening and why.
