I can’t imagine hiring anyone to do my taxes, or using retail budgeting tools when I can make my own spreadsheet.

“Party shots, like the Buttery Nipple or Blue Kamikazes, had also come into fashion.”

Not sure where the baseball bat comes in, but that’s a Breakfast Club reference for the jock, prom queen, goth etc aspect of the movie, right?

Are bits of heart really that surprising in a gory horror movie?

Jesus God, a link to a registered dietitian at Livestrong talking about aids to "digestion"? What were no medieval barbers available?

No real problem though. It probably has an ATM itself.

In your part of the country, sure. Cash-only is still very common in NYC. My barber (four different ones!), the halal truck, my pizza place, the shoe repair shop, lots of Chinese restos — none accept credit cards.

You think they’re somehow confused or mistaken in thinking their employees are stealing cash? You think they’re willing to forego a (small, admittedly) subset of potential transactions just to, what, flip off their employees?

If your theory is correct, the market will sort that out very quickly.

Im generally in favor of proprietors doing whatever they think works best for them in terms of what they’ll take, the hate for no-CC places just makes no dn sense to me.

Again, if you’re going to make the argument, make the argument. Alluding to it, providing footnotes, whatever is just deflection. If you believe in the argument, make it — it’ll be easy. If you don’t believe in the argument, then stop with this misdirection.

The only way in which the “pack the fridge to reduce energy usage” makes any sense is from an air-mixing standpoint. More empty space means more cold air, meaning potentially more cold air lost every time the door is opened.

No, it’s a mis-thinking on your part. Dosing it like you’ve suggested doesn’t reduce the amount of heat tove removed, so it doesn’t help.

“Some” are accusing the term of being linguistic colonialism? Who? You? Why are you hiding behind what “some people are saying” like you’re Trump or something. If you’re compelled by that argument, whatever it is, then make it, don’t just allude to it like we’re supposed to know what you’re taking about.

“How is this undisclosed?”

On the assumption you’re not being intentionally obtuse:

That holds some appeal for me, thanks.

Yes, preferable to Latina/o. Not as intentionally inclusive, but better.

There’s a long long way from what I said — “don’t care about trans people” — to “transphobic”.

You seem confused. We’re talking about English as spoken in America.
