Because say, for example, that a CEO believes that hiring women will reduce profits, and then through unconsciously biased actions or chance profits are reduced. That person now believes that they have evidence that hiring women was a bad idea.

I’ve personally always felt that I should pay for my friend’s soup in that situation. And I hope to teach my kids the same thing - money is like a superpower. It should be used wisely and unselfishly.

I was born ready for Toddler Hunger Games. Which is why my child-rearing future in-laws regard me with suspicion.

I am filled with righteous rage, and all I can do is wonder how much worse Part 2 will be.

On the other hand, there are more people in New York City proper than in all of Massachusetts. When your population areas are that big, it doesn’t hurt to be more specific.

As both the cook and the hot sauce fanatic in my household, I rarely have this problem anymore. My fiance cooks less often, but I always taste the food before adding hot sauce. She used to be upset (I think it was mostly that I love mixing a ton of hot sauce with mac and cheese, while she thinks adulterating mac and…

Ledo’s more grease-flavored than carboard-flavored. Now if Manny and Olga’s served breakfast...

Do you have a cite for that? Not doubting, but I want to be able to prove it when my friends demand so.

That reminds of how DC Comics, in the 70’s pointed out that their superheroes gave more of a shit about aliens than humans:

Oh deary me, good sir or madam, but I believe New York is led by a Duke. Beg your pardon for this slight on your knowledge of peerage, my fine friend.

Illegal doesn’t mean immoral, wrong, harmful, or anything else except illegal. There’s quite a spectrum of acts contained therein, so ruining someone’s life just because a thing is illegal is inherently problematic.

I used to go to this independent coffee shop, and there was either a confusing policy about iced coffee, or no one cared, but they’d charge us wildly different prices each day. I was pretty sure that the most expensive we ever got charged was what it was actually supposed to be, but some days we got as much as a 50%…

All I will ever want from this life, from this point forward, is a documentary that explains the thought process behind that joke.

We can definitely agree that servers lying/not knowing/not caring is absolutely uncool. What recipes do you use for a cream based soup? For cream of broccoli, is it a “cook broccoli -> add cream -> puree” sort of thing?

I’m not trying to be a dick, so please forgive me if the tone comes out wrong, but cream soups are usually stock/broth + cream, not just cream. Chicken stock is used mostly because it’s the standard, but if you made a vegeterian cream of broccoli, it would usually be veggie stock + cream.

Unfortunately, being a decent human isn’t always protected by law. Sometimes you have to use the tools around you, even if they’re not the best.

Should grocery stores be permitted to hand out their stale, slightly wilted produce, that’s beyond its saleable date for free to anyone who wants it? Should restaurants be permitted to hand out their leftovers or food from plates that weren’t finished to those who want it for free? Even if it sat around for a while…

I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering who the hell says this.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if there’s anything else besides ice cream where it’s that way? I’m betting it stuck around because of slogans like “hand dipped” even as it fell out of favor in other places.

I’m not doubting the etymology, but where have you heard this? I’m a New England boy from CT, lived in MA and RI, and now I’ve emigrated to DC, and I’ve never heard it used like that. Is it more southern, or maybe more inland? (I’ve always lived on the coasts). I’m really just curious now.
