I know this is petty and pedantic, but

In fairness, attempting to predict the near future worked so well for them. /s I’m looking at you, atomic wars of the 1990s. Probably better that they didn’t.
I’ve only seen only one piece of art about another style of non-modern fictional art that actually worked; Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous. The rest of them end…

My work computer’s firewall is blocking it. Maybe similar thing to you.

As a extremely nerdy extremely white man, I’d like to say thank you for writing this. I grew up in Wyoming. My first album was Alabama’s Roll On. My second was MJ’s Off the Wall. I love Black music, but I definitely grew up divorced from hip hop/rap by geography and helicopter parents. (My first concert was The…

I see about one a month at a regular abandoned vehicle auction. Between the reputation for reliability and the likelihood that the abandoner was some kid who rode the hell out of it, I’ve stayed away. I may reconsider now.

You’re right. This is dumber than when they gave “I can heal others” powers to Angel.

Considering most children turn their nose up at turnips, this is fascinating.

Choco-hoto-cups? They’re calling this CHOCO-HOTO-CUPS?!? UGH! Oprah! Stupid gussyin’ up “haute couture” nonsense! That’s called a freakin’ molten chocolate cake! And it is from Betty freakin’ Crocker or Kraft. (But it is totally not your fault that you got inceptioned in secrets Mom>Oprah>Betty Crocker)

The fact that Cardamom pod, coriander seeds, and garam masala aren’t consider “exotic” is a testament to the amazing world we live in. I grew up in the manner of middle america white trash where mustard only came in a yellow squeeze bottle and chili powder was considered spicy. What a wonderful time to be alive. The…

Very true. New England ticks are no joke. I remember many hikes with the “tuck your pants into your boots/socks” reminder. I don’t think I ever owned sandals until moving south. 

I turn to you for crazy things most places wouldn’t want to try... so any of those except pork belly. That’s pretty common as a “look what I can sous vide” online. I’d think roast beef would be pretty common too.
(I’d really vote creme brulee, but my wife wants less sugar in the house. Even so, she’d eat it if I made…

As a person raised in New England, your comment confuses me. Are you saying we commonly go barefoot in the woods?

My wife and I have been without a microwave for 7 years. Honestly, it just isn’t something that crosses our minds. She’s pseudo-pescetarian so that may have eliminated a lot of “designed for microwave” products from our life. If I want to reheat something, it only take 5 minutes in a nonstick skillet. And popcorn is…

Liars.

Are you me???
Even after having steaks at “famous” steak places like Berns’, Hy’s, and Hall Chophouse, I can’t fathom paying someone else to make a steak for me and not do it as well.

Is it bad that I heard your reply in Donald Trump’s voice.

There really is a subreddit for everything. Thank you.

I loved Paddington 2. It is a fantastically delightful film, but certainly is not high art. Is that a guilt pleasure for a 37 year old white middle class child-less male?

[Related: When I saw it in theaters, I was the only adult there alone. My wife was on a business trip. I purposefully sat far towards the front, in…

That sounds a lot like Nigel Warburton and Aeon.

Yet I’m pretty sure most people Americans can still sing along to that song.
