Sounds interesting, I’ll keep an eye out for it. I think I’ve seen the name Girald’s before. I tend to like tart, sharp dressings so I usually make a quick vinagrette out of lemon juice, dijon mustard and oil.

I’m curious, do you have trouble finding bottled dressings you can use? I actually do enjoy sugar and desserts but so many bottled dressings taste sickly sweet to me. You have me curious about this Girard’s champagne dressing but previously when I had dressings with champagne in the name they were sweeter than fruit…

Walking is one thing. As a guy I had a pair of boots with a three inch heels (I’m short so I was thrilled to find them). I could walk with them alright but one time I decided to go dancing in them. I felt like I was doing calve exercises all night.

I had a teacher who claimed she had family who were interned because the people who made the decision couldn’t tell the difference between Chineese and Japanese, but when reparations happened they were told they weren’t eligible for not having Japanese ancestry... so if her story is true, there’s some justification…

And that’s where I really debate the “electability” arguments in the Democratic race for the nomination. Sanders’ appeal is partly that he has a kind of charisma that Clinton struggles to find and I can’t decide if the “socialist” label is a bigger liability than the way Clinton’s tendency for foot-in-mouth moments…

Does this mean if I put up the most overdone holiday yard display, I might have a chance of blocking out the neighbor’s wifi that sometimes makes streaming TV ridiculously frustrating?

I think one issue comes up when there’s a (real or media-created) worry about crime and a new mayor/governor goes on a police hiring binge to show they’re getting stuff done. Unfortunately, those hiring binges usually requires not being as picky. I can’t remember the article where I read it but a lot of Albuquerque’s…

As I recall, the creators/network stated pretty clearly that they wanted to make sure their martial arts drama had an Asian man as the lead, thinking about the cringe that was Kung Fu’s casting.

This. This in a nutshell.

I would be happy if they fixed some of the problems with arranging stuff that has plagued Bethesda games since Oblivion (at least). I’ll carefully put stuff down in the right place. When I come back, they’re all on the floor (or sometimes in the middle of the street) and some items suddenly won’t rest on a surface.

Small curd cottage cheese is weirdly good in jell-o. There’s something about the gelatin that makes the cottage cheese seem really creamy.

My cynical side wonders about the bad idea tho. I mean, Amazon got plenty of media mentions of their new show — more publicity than if they did a tasteful ad — and it’s not like anyone is going to cancel their Amazon Prime subscription over this.

My strategy for dealing with Supermutant Suiciders is to run past Piper and turn around in time to see Piper enveloped by a mini-nuke explosion followed by Piper immediately getting up and dusting herself off. I discovered it by accident but it makes those suiciders a lot more entertaining and a lot less threatening.

CNN and the NYT have been accursedd of “Liberal Bias” enough times that they know to never call out a Republican if they can avoid it.

I remember a company in my home state tried to deal with a low-price competitor by getting rid of a popular buy-one-get-one-free deal in favor of lower prices overall. They took about a year to undo it, people didn’t notice prices being raised back under the roar of the “BOGO is back!” marketing.

This is a good reminder that no sweet potato pie could be good enough to give a cent to Wal-Mart.

I worked at a book store where an employee the managers didn’t like (she definitely had some appropriateness issues, she once spent her lunch in the back room tumbing through the porn mags and didn’t put them back on the shelves, leaving the regional manager to find them when he was taking a tour of the store) found a…

Thing is the blackface of Tropic Thunder came with a decent amount of context. IIRC, we knew before the movie opened the joke behind the use of blackface. The problem is the Zoolander trailer didn’t do that so there’s more room to misjudge.

Yeah but the asshole things he has done does not mean the media hasn’t been getting into dangerous territory of portrayng HIV as something for dirty reckless people, which is what this article was about. It has been a throwback to the 80s.

That’s not at all what I said. We shouldn’t use his HIV status as a sign of what a asshole trainwreck he was and, in the process, portray HIV as a sign that someone is an asshole trainwreck.
