You’d think a “reputable” journalism outfit would have fixed the text and headline by now.  It has been three days.  The only reason to leave the old text standing is to ... foment unrest and discontent?  That’s the only reason *I* can think of.

It wasn’t a noose.  People are jumping to conclusions. 

I’ll just leave this here:

“Police were born from slave catchers.”

Wow.

They are killing white men on the street too. And brown ones. More, actually. Statistics don’t lie. And yet the number of deaths caused by police where the victim wasn’t brandishing a weapon or running away are tiny compared to police interactions as a whole. Why does nobody acknowledge this?

Millions of interactions…

While it might qualify as a food item, this disturbed me because zero ingredients in refried beans are neon blue:

The best thing to eat on cornbread *or* corn muffins is butter and maple syrup. Seriously.  So good.

MOD is fine if you catch a deal on their app.  They often have a special pizza for the month that is $6 and worth it.  But because they let you have whatever ingredients you want, for someone like me who just wants one or two toppings I’m paying a much higher rate because I am subsidizing the people who pile things…

Well, this is *a* take.  Just not a good one.  Period.

Gee. I’ve never heard of this “exposure therapy” you brought up or the brain rewriting you mentioned, which I’ll just call “neuroplasticity.” You have educated me more in one snarky comment than 43 years of life experience ever could. How can I thank you?!

You know nothing about me except what I’ve written here. You…

My uncles are cattle ranchers, so we had tons of beef growing up.  But I haven’t had a burger or steak in 30+ years.

“My opinion about something I don’t experience and can’t understand is more valid than yours” is one of the dumbest and laziest responses to anything.

This started when I was a child. I took medication when I was older and it helped a bit - I adapted to a few foods I wouldn’t have eaten before - but the medication…

This is dumb.  If you didn’t buy one over the past two years, it isn’t anyone’s fault.  No more than a fault to buy toilet paper before the pandemic.  Nobody planned for this, and nobody was fully prepared, but the fact that you didn’t own a Switch is your own fault.  Full stop.

I am an adult picky eater. I also have OCD and a bit of Tourette’s, which might contribute.

Certain texture freak me out and my body rejects them with gagging and vomiting. It is not a choice. It is not a conscious behavior. Trying to “fix” the problem or “blame” me for it don’t help.

The smell of cooking ground beef…

They are selling this - and ICEE “scented” sanitizer too - at the Fred Meyer store near me.  I bought some of the ICEE stuff just for giggles and it smells like a real ICEE.  I warned my kids (old enough to know better) not to taste it.

Mountain Dew is mainly three things: carbonated water, orange juice, and corn syrup.  So Mt. Dew-flavored Doritos would taste like really sweet orange juice, most likely.

I agree with you.  I happen to read Jezebel and The Root daily, but don’t want that stuff in my gaming news.  It makes no sense.

I worked at a candy store in high school and learned some interesting facts about Jelly Belly jelly beans there. For instance, they were the first company to flavor the inside of the jelly bean. Old-timey jelly beans all had the same “jelly” center with flavored “crusts” on them, but Jelly Belly realized that…

I tried them back then.  It worked just fine, but I also remember the exploding can problem.  I think they were exploding during storage/transportation and not in the hands of consumers.  But still...

I drove my kids through Wendy’s yesterday morning on our way to church. We ordered one bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, one sausage, egg, and cheese croissant, and two bacon, egg, and cheese croissants. At $3.95 each at my local store, they weren’t cheap.

As we drove off, we realized that the first two sandwiches were…
