Counterpoint: Garlic mashed made with buttermilk rule the table. Use red potatoes and leave the skins on for even more rustic goodness.

There are other dishes I’m not a fan of such as the sweet potato abomination that is loaded with sugar and topped with marshmallows.

It's one of my biggest pandemic pet peeves. It's crazy how little people understand about the idea of ventilation, which seems fairly simple. "But it's outdoors!" So was every building before you put up walls and a ceiling. 

Seriously. We haven’t earned events lifestyle back yet. All the vaccine got us was, at best, a closer to normal day to day routine.

Looking at the responses, I suppose I did. But I genuinely didn’t think it’d be necessary.

What sucks is that those cops that can recognize that their nerves are frayed or are starting to have PTSD or other mental/emotional effects from their job are not always given the proper outlet to retire early and leave the force. I know one particular cop (friend of a friend) who went through a tough situation. A…

“was standing a bit too closely to the road.”

“This happens all the time” sounds like an argument to hold more dipshits accountable for their dipshittery, not less.

Great points. As a 40 yr old, I didn’t want to go too much further back than my own perceptions, but you’re right....not a new movement.

Because that’s the image the rich have worked hard to cultivate

We have created an asperational american mythology that we all could be rich someday. And we have done so for a very long time well over 100 years. We are raised believing the mertiocracy means the best people are the rich ones otherwise they would not be rich. I disagree but that is the poison of the lie of meritocrac…

Why is it so many people worship the rich? The cost of having billionaires like Jeff Bezos is thousands of people pissing in bottles in warehouses and overworked drivers like this guy.

Around the holidays last year I had to make a quick trip to the mall to make some returns. I usually over-order online (hard to know your size!) and have a LOT of stuff to return and am both extremely embarrassed and overly apologetic about it to whatever poor sales associate has to deal with my giant bag of items. I…

The reason is not merely the politicization of mask wearing. The higher incidence of such attacks and behavior is linked to the fact that the majority of people traveling in the last several months (after the lengthy bans on travel) are Coronavirus deniers. So not merely political objection to the mask, but believers…

I’m wondering if this is related to the rise of extra-shitty restaurant customers. Most reasonable people cut back on eating out and flying, so the people who are left are disproportionately terrible.

The moment he turned around and said “I’ve got you ma’am” to the flight attendant melted my heart. But the rest of it was absolutely horrible. One of the saddest things about the last four years is how the ahole in chief taught Americans to openly hate each other and removed the shame that previously stopped most idiot…

The guy that intervened was having exactly none of Karen’s bullshit and good for him.

I fully support throwing the book at these fuckers, flying is unpleasant enough without these stupid assholes lashing out at the people who’s job it is to keep you safe and comfortable while you’re stuffed in a metal tube with a bunch…

Oh please, you shitgibbons got mad at a coffee cup that said ‘Happy Holidays’. 

The difference is closed environment, time and especially the employee conditions. You are crammed to a closed space with thousands of other people for weeks at the time, while the people who serve you live in cramped conditions and won’t get paid if they don’t work, sick or not. Subsequently, just one sick kitchen…

It turns out, you don’t even need a gaggle of coughing, sneezing passengers to get your crew sick from COVID-19.
