I aim to please.

And, to be fair, I frequently complain when the posts have nothing to do with food.

I read lots of websites for political commentary. This isn’t one of them. I come here for posts about mixing 17 kinds of cereal that somehow gain sentience...

“How do I promote voting on a food blog? I know! I’ll ask what people are EATING on election day!”

It still doesn’t fit.  Sorry.

“Three indisputable facts” (lists four opinions).

Nice. Good job. You get an “Effort and Participation Trophy!”

Me too. People don’t believe it, but I generally hate the feeling. I’ve gotten used to saying “Chemicals just react differently with my body.”

What a stupid, naive thing to say. If you think failed birth control and rapes are more than a tiny percentage of abortions in America, you are an idiot. The fact is, most abortions are due to convenience. Nothing more.

Try some facts before sounding off like an emotion-driven child:

I don’t want a say in your medical choices. I only want a say in the medical choices of the new life, with new DNA, that was created and can’t speak for itself. If we found living cells on mars, the moon, or deep in the ocean, we’d call it “life.” I’d like to follow the science and keep that definition.

So we agree in…

To get this straight: normally, in a non-pandemic year, people have to go to the polling place on election day. And during this pandemic they can still do that, while social-distancing and wearing a mask.

But if they don’t want to, they can mail in the ballot they received sometime in the last several weeks. The…

You do not know what “packing the courts” means. Look it up. It means adding seats to increase the number of justices, not filling vacancies that already exist.

Here’s an important distinction: you can make decision after decision after decision and I don’t care. Want to have sex with this person or that one? Your choice. Want to use a condom or IUD or other birth control? Not my business. Feel like having oral or anal sex instead of intercourse? Nobody cares!

But when your…

“But now, there is no coherent argument I can think of to not expand the court”

How about “Next time Republicans are in power again, they’ll do the same thing, then the Democrats will do it again, then the Republicans... Soon we will have 147 Supreme Court justices and chaos when it comes to deciding cases.”

That seems…

Isn’t it strange that when a baby isn’t wanted it is “cell death” but when it is wanted, as with the recent Chrissy Tiegen miscarriage, it is a horrible tragedy and people cry?

So strange.

Oooh! Next do “Things you can eat to commit suicide.”

It’s a food blog, after all, so that fits too, right?

I love people who say things like this. *YOU* didn’t just keep scrolling after reading my comment, did you? You had to respond.

Take your own advice.

The cross-promotion on The Takout is horrible. I come here to read about food. Today I got an ad for vibrators and an ad for a very biased article from The Root about who to vote for.

Someone needs to fix this. It is really annoying. I don’t come here for that crap.

I just finished the latest picross game on the switch and the 40 X 30 puzzles were devilish, but doable. I finished all five of them.

Your examples are all from the Old Testament. That means they are Jewish law, not Christian doctrine. That’s worth pointing out. If you believe Christians aren’t allowed to eat shellfish, wear plyster, or touch a woman on her period, you haven’t actually read the Bible.

Biden is much, much more liberal than you are implying. Bernie Sanders said he is happy Biden is the nominee, because his plan is basically the same as Sanders’. Like recognizes like.

“Is Chris Pratt a Republican? If So, He is EVIIIIL!”

I fixed the headline for you. The fact that he wants to unify and not push people toward a specific candidate or party is fantastic. People like you who equate Republican with Evil are the problem.

Welcome, “newbies.”

If one of you can help me out, that would be great. I like to click the mouse wheel and scroll through websites without having to keep scrolling on the wheel, but every time I try to do this on The Takeout (and sister sites) I get a pop-up that makes me stop what I’m doing and click the little X so…

No. It is the individual’s job to deal with their own phobias and other mental issues. And I say that as someone with OCD and a fear of frost - actual ice crystals - that is stupid, insane, and still very real.

Anyone who expects the world to cater to them is naive.
