That’s a good point, the open kitchen is also true of Shake Shack, 5 Guys, Blaze Pizza, Earl of Sandwich, Qdoba, and Panda Express. It is not, however, the case with Panera, Corner Bakery, and Smashburger.

Besides the fact that his charitable causes tend to be arts institutions and wealthy universities, which I consider to be poor choices of charities due to the fact that they do not address the most pressing human needs, he has spent more money on luxury real estate than he has on philanthropy; he also has billions of…

You said adult, right? I’m a growned up, and I like the Splinter (Nick is great) but it’s rarely a well-rounded “adult” perspective. The fucking videos are high school level.

A news site, owned by a fucking cell-phone service provider, laid off an entire department, despite that parent company receiving billions in tax breaks that were promised to trickle down to employees, and people still defend corporate capitalism.

The push for SAM walls, as Bloomberg points out, lines up neatly with the company’s steady push toward the realm of “fast-casual” and away from at least the appearance of a typical fast-food restaurant.

And why isn’t “be honest” the first option instead of the last mentioned? Serious question. Is it really that hard to tell someone you are not compatible with them and it just won’t work out?

“And it is no surprise that, with Bohemian Rhapsody being an award-winning hit, this homophobic smear piece has been conveniently timed to take advantage of its success” 

No, I’m done, I’ve have it. This kid and his friends are being treated like fucking royalty by Republicans and right-wingers, while the Parkland School shooting survivors are still being insulted and mocked by the same people praising these kids. Fuck this shit. Dead kids? Who cares. Survivors? Who cares. Catholic…

It kills me that the GMG cronies just upvote anything from an editor. Marchman’s incorrect defense of the use of the word “diffuse” currently has 56 stars. Why (besides the obvious butt-kissing)? Are there actually 56 other people out there who don’t understand what diffuse and defuse mean?

They're their there, Tim. It's definitely defuse. 

Diffusing is spreading things out.

You know, I’m so tired of reading things like this. You know who else uses that language? People telling rape survivors that they should’ve walked away and dismissing that in their heads they were terrified and frozen. How often perps say “she looked like she enjoyed, how was I supposed to know she didn’t” like…

It’s actually gotten to the point that I almost never see “defuse” anymore. Or maybe it’s just that I read a lot of Kinja sites and they all insist on using “diffuse”, which is infuriating.

OK, so if 70% rates equal low growth and low revenue, what was the level under Kennedy when “massive increase in employment and revenue happened”? That sounds like the magic number.

It is.  Defuse is the correct word.  https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/diffuse-vs-defuse

Definitely should be defuse.

reduce the danger or tension in (a difficult situation).

They’re crazy street preachers. You roll your eyes and walk away.

Fix “diffuse the situation” while you’re at it. 

The only thing any of the new videos changes for me is that I now see that the MAGA kids weren’t aggressors (although they definitely wildly escalated both confrontations). That said, I still think they’re smug, racist chuds.
