“Kids learn problem-solving skills, independence, organization, initiation, motivation, all of these things through modeling,” Allen said. “These are learned skills, these are not skills we are born with, and so we need to teach these skills.”

Ah yes! If there is one thing fathers from the 50s are famous for, it’s their dedication to chid rearing!

Hey if you don’t want your legacy to be rape then don’t rape people. Ever since Kobe’s death The Root has become very concerning. The number of ungreyed rape apologists is pretty disgusting.

“kk” always strikes me as a hand waving “whatever”, something you didn’t give a lot of thought to and are just responding to shut you up.

If we’re going to outlaw “OK” then we sure as shit need to also get rid of “Fine” 

I’ve been in grocery stores in England that had “American” sections.

The golden ring of hell.

I reserve the right to make up my own mind about this movie, regardless of online impressions. I still plan to go watch it as I have yet to be disappointed by a MCU film.

Clearly there are very fine people on both sides

Bitch.... Michelle O accomplished more in her life BEFORE she became first lady than you and your whole tornado bait trailer trash family have ever even read about. Double Ivy League Graduate.

Opposing flavors are usually a bit more simple. This is like eating a cake where the filling is fish and cheese.

Until a person who has committed an offense has actually acknowledged what they’ve done, apologized, and made every effort to make amends, I refuse to accept them as a fellow human. I don’t care if it’s cutting me off in traffic or murder.

Unless you are creaming the salt into the butter until there are no granules left, and letting it pull moisture out, it’s not the same thing.

Bakers use unsalted butter because they’re trying to control the level of salt. If you don’t need to be that exacting (and most home bakers and cooks do not), don’t worry about it. Yes, there is variation across brands about how much salt is in the butter - just leave out salt elsewhere in the recipe if salted butter…

Leaving some on the counter at room temperature is hardly a lot of effort. And if you’re having plain ass toast I feel bad for you because proper toast with good butter is pretty much good eating defined.

I wasn’t aware that “Leave out on counter” was considered a lot of effort. 

A horror movie with superheroes could work, but I just wish they hadn’t done it with a beloved franchise from my childhood. Was really hoping for something a little teenage-angsty but joyful. Ah well. I’ll always have the old comics.
