“So, your table stopped me and asked what kind of fish they had was because they thought you were lying to them; I told them it was cod and they asked why we didn’t have real fish.”

I would do anything for meatloaf, but I won’t do that.

great reporting in this article! especially impressed with how you completely avoided mentioning that this wonderful app basically gets enough permissions to have sex with your g/f if it wants

I do this all the time. I will cheerfully take up for a waitress, a server, a checker, anyone who is being mistreated by another customer. *I’M* a customer, too, and I have no dog in the fight. I’m old enough and southern enough to get away with most of it but make no mistake — if you act like an rude asshole in MY…

You are doing God’s work. Stay strong.

I was going to post this, but then I decided to let someone else take the wrath of the commenters. And then congratulate that person. Congratulations.

It’s not worse, because it actually makes a difference to meaning, unlike most grammatical mistakes. People’s grasp of percentages, in general, really could be much better, so I think it’s worth picking up on this kind of thing. Although I realise it won’t win you many friends...

Ah, percentages and percentage points. 5% is not 1% more than 4%. It is one “percentage point” more. In percent, 5% is actually 25% more than 4%. It’s Friday, who cares.

EWG is known for relying on cherry picked studies to make claims not backed by science. They are consistently the source for shitty psuedoscience news articles that people eat up and repost on social media ad nauseam. They basically consciously choose to ignore the entire concept of toxicology in order to make…

I’m not sure how much credience I can put in it either, mostly because I don’t know how to put credience in anything...

These recommendations are for everyone :)

It seems the low score there is mostly attributed to “worrisome” ingredients like oxybenzone and retinyl palmitate (as mentioned in that Jezebel article). Ingredients like that are used in most sunscreen products so it’s hard to get away from them. The UVA/UVB balance score they use to determine its effectiveness is…

Wait... what?? Sorry, Unless you served steel straws with your drinks, that’s just not possible. If that was possible, everyone would end up poking holes in the bottom of their cups. If he poked it before hand, how did he fill it and put a lid on it?? Were the cups made of wet tissue paper?

When my boyfriend buys me flowers he rearranges them, cuts them and puts them in a vase. He is so good at it. I always tell him he should be a florist.

I'm allergic to some, and I also feel awful staring at these beautiful flowers that were grown and then cut to die prematurely just for me to sneeze at. So if you want to make me feel physically/emotionally poopy, I guess buy me some flowers.

I’m a woman and extremely allergic to both. No thanks.

Haha. I think my wife does like getting flowers, but mostly because it means I’ve thought of her and decided to do something nice (which, hopefully, I demonstrate frequently). But it really does seem like every time I give them to her, I’m basically giving her a chore. “Here, I got these for you! Now cut them, fill up…

The beer belly struggle is real. I got mine from the 2 years I spent living in a town with 5 breweries. Yes, 5. And they all had such wonderful beer, and new kinds of beer to taste just about every week! Sigh... I’ve cut way back (I drink like 2 beers a week now) but still, the belly abides. Yes, my beer belly is the…

I’ve done this since the eighties, when I learned it as a waitress. My house is still a mess but much better than it would be otherwise, I think.

in names ending with a -pus it's good to know that it comes from the Greek word Pus - Πους (foot).
