Judgment is passed on the world

Everyone is assigned a random superpower. It can be anything. Obviously some will be more useful than others.

Mine is bruise recall, I can touch any bruise I get and recall exactly how it happened. What’s yours?

BRAND new Si Woo Kim story:

There’s a solid Korean bbq restaurant I always go to when I’m in Detroit. I text Si Woo, wanna grab dinner tonight at this place? He goes sure.

He searches the name of the restaurant on Google Maps, and without much thinking starts driving. But before it’s too late, he realizes that he’s about to go across the US border into Canada! There was a restaurant under the SAME NAME closer to him in Canada 😂

He doesn’t have a passport, just his wallet. He tries to turn back, but it’s already too late, it’s a one way and there are multiple signs telling him he can’t turn back.

He drives to the gate and talks to the officer. I’m driving to dinner with a friend, I came here by accident. The officer goes, ok don’t worry, happens all the time actually. But I can’t let you go back so you have to go across to Canada and then talk to the officers on the other side.

He drives across, waits in line for 45min. He finally gets to an officer and he tries to explain. He’s super nervous but tries to explain what happened. He points to his courtesy car and says I’m here for the golf tournament. This officer is not sure what to do so they drive the car to the side and calls another officer… then another… then another until 8!!! officers are surrounding his car and talking to him and each other. They check his cars for weapons, asks him if he has any drugs or weapons, stuff like that and they finally let him thru 😂😂😂.

Night ended with a nice kbbq dinner about 90 minutes later than we had originally planned.

Never a dull moment with Si Woo. Thanks for the content my guy

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.

I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.

Six minutes later I was holding chicken.

I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.

A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.

I said thank you.

She said, "My pleasure."

I did not think about it then. I should have.

At the window I thanked the young man for the food.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for the sauce.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for thanking me—

"My pleasure."

I want to be clear about what was happening.

This was a duel.

In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.

I was a white belt in that drive-thru.

I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.

He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.

Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.

I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.

It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.

All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.

I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.

Once to a teenager with sauce.

Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.

In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.

I had never seen a restaurant say it back.

I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.

"My pleasure."

She smiled and said, "It sure is."

America, I surrender.

It was my pleasure.

Everybody, it is time

Giannis Antetokounmpo has landed in Miami, which means one thing:

TIME FOR A QUICK THREAD:

[Austin @ChefTrillie]

We landed Giannis and helped potentially destroy Boston’s locker room. Maybe a Knicks Championship was worth it after all
