The gluten free thing is legit for a lot of people, too. Obviously it’s a fad diet as well, but people who have a legitimate disease or allergy can and do get very ill when they eat gluten.

I once ate pork after 17 years of vegetarianism because I didn’t want to be rude to my hosts. It was fine, nobody died. Obviously the pig died, but that was before.

Were they chocolate chip cookies? Did you offer them to her for breakfast?

My father has a lot of flaws. But when he first met his in-laws my grandmother made meat loaf. He fucking hates meat loaf. But he ate everything on his plate. She offered him more and dammit if he didn’t accept and eat some more of the godforsaken meat loaf. That’s how you do it.

A friend of mine did a yoga trip/training in India. One night, their host who was Indian made them all pizza because he knew Westerners loved pizza. Every single person except her refused to eat the pizza because they were gluten free/vegan/carb free. She literally cried telling me the story. People are the worst.

THAT SAID, what is a somewhat recent game that you enjoy…

This is a bad thing and it shouldn’t have been written

As always, fuck Ronald Reagan

The $2.13 minimum tipped wage is an embarrassment to the country.

The funny thing is I’ve seen a lot of people say they turn it upside down, but for me it was easiest just to rotate the maze 90 degrees counterclockwise, then the ball landed on the ending stretch of maze, so you didn’t have to get it through the maze, but you still had the walls to guide the ball when you were…

I was annoyed by that on until I figured out I could flip the whole thing upside down and just use the flat bottom side. Only took a couple of tries from that point.

After April 1's 89-79 loss to the Lakers:

We really need different-looking words for ‘resign’ as ‘sign again’ and ‘resign’ as ‘step down.’ Otherwise it’s damn near impossible to write about scenarios in which Doc resigns and Blake and Chris don’t resign but maybe Chris resigns and Doc doesn’t resign but neither does Blake....
