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.

@kingbob510 @redditmavericks I’m sorry. I was trying to be playful about the bad form of the Luka trade and provide a (similarly) bad trade. I don’t think any of this is realistic, I’m just having some snarky fun

[Dalton House @ddhouse62]

@kingbob510 @redditmavericks How do you figure? It’s so close to another trade they made

[Dalton House @ddhouse62]

@aarondfrancis @steve_tenuto @IanLandsman San Antonio, unfortunately

@redditmavericks Can you stop in Stillwater and bring UNT’s football team back with you on the way back?

I will give the benefit of the doubt that five years from now is a long time and things could change, but yes, the mavericks moving from an arena from downtown with easy, affordable public transit to a less coinvent spot that requires more driving and parking is bad.

@ThePrimeagen Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan is one of the best series I’ve ever read. The protagonists are both incredible individually, but make each other so much better. Fantastic male friendship.

Genuinely asking: why? I’ve been to stadiums where you can tell an upgrade or change is necessary. The AAC is not one of those venues

@kenwheeler This isn’t that rare, right?

[mavsmarie @mavsmarie]

hear me out..

what about Becky Hammon as the new head coach🫢

[Aaron Francis @aarondfrancis]

He's headed to Chipotle. Put ten people in line that have never seen a burrito before

The American Airlines Center is fine and in a great location and I’m tired of pretending otherwise. The only things that need to be fixed at Mavs games are ticket prices.

I bought a new gaming laptop to work and play league of legends downstairs with my wife and dogs, she asked if she could watch me play a game and I SHIT YOU NOT she said

“Is there any strategy or game mechanic you’re taking advantage of by dying a lot”

I had a feeling this day would come @immaculategrid

[Dalton House @ddhouse62]

@KirkSeriousFace I believe they found PVNS. Don’t believe it wasn’t identified before

I was on a Boston trip, about to fall asleep, when suddenly my phone started blowing up like somebody died. I will never forgive or forget. Luka in Dallas was a movie. Taking the torch from Dirk. A rare sequel shaping into something better than the first. Senselessly cut short.

[Jo @MavsStan41]

Luka appreciates Mavs fans still. That’s our guy forever man
