Your answer is informative, helpful, and non-judgmental. I hate it and I hate you, too.

Very possible. I’m a Midwesterner and I’ve only heard it neutrally in reference to food.

Chop Suey is kind of a generic term for an asian [usually korean] vegetable dish. There is an entire history of the dish in Seattle specifically, I associate it as “lunch counter food” not unlike teriyaki (which you aren’t probably familiar with if you aren’t from the PNW either), especially related strongly with…

Also, mentioning that he’s not on probation is only going to make us remember he never paid his dues for beating someone brutally.

Fascinating the number of “I don’t believe her” comments that are popping up. If she had confirmed the rumors and had said Sean had assaulted her, this comment section would be filled with words of support.

When I came to the US from Vietnam back in 1975 it was used quite often in a sing-song tone to taunt Asian-Americans particularly those of Vietnamese descent. It was usually used in conjunction with forcing your top front teeth out and slanting one’s eye-lids. It was used by adults and children and believe me, it…

So what are they saying... that a bear can’t rape a man because it’s female?

I hate to break it to you, but “Who you think” is closer to Shakespearean syntax (~1500?) than “Who do you think”. People didn’t use auxiliaries for question formation back then. Also, “ate” as a past participle form of “eat” is acceptable in many dialects, and is certainly acceptable and widely used in Spoken English.

No one cares about your boner.

“Eleanor, did I not telleth thee that the fletchings shalt be crimson?”

Aside from the absurdity re: gender, it’s adorable that someone thought a recent MFA needs a full-time manager.

More like the recent MFA needs someone to help fill out welfare applications and letters to student loan companies asking for extensions.

I’d rather see “child of a Pinterest mom”.

Cisco and Warf and Bashir. Okay, and Dukat. What...evil, but charadmatic as hell. But I also like DS9 the best so obviously my brain is broken.

I agree. The knee jerk reaction to “privilege” can be complicated, but really all he meant was that his kids have benefitted and that’s true. I am guilty of that selfsame response and upon being “schooled” I admit that I was wrongly harsh.

Dude, you militant vegetarian types are so strange to me. I didn’t say you had to feel this way, or that you had to think meat was delicious, I just pointed out that you could feel this way. Some vegetarians, like you, do not like the idea of meat and it nauseates you. Others very much enjoy it and decide they’re…

I mean, you can think you’re treating yourself better and being responsible while also acknowledging that you’re denying yourself something delicious.

I know I’m in a definite minority here, but I’ve always found Salvatore’s writing to be a bit pat/formulaic. That’s true of a great many authors, of course, and some are significantly more guilty of playing into a cookie-cutter pattern in their writing (Stephen King, Dan Brown, etc.), but I just—I can’t get behind…

I think the issue is not that life is so utterly rare, or that intelligent life is so utterly rare. I think the issue is one of transcendence and of the mindset to achieve it. In otherwords, we're not seeing ETI blazing across the universe because its not socially acceptable for us to see ETI blazing across the…

He/She said there are bodies in the milky way that are millions of light years away. If you draw a straight line between any two points, then no, there are not.
