When I read that line, I had an instant flash-back to being at the gym at my university in a lululemon top (that other women at the gym were wearing), and having an older lady come up to me in the dressing room to lecture me about my choice of top and then go on to say things like “think of the boys in there who will…

Increasingly, I think mothers create misogynistic creeps. Fathers may be responsible for juvenile shit like gun fetishism and macho fuckery, but mothers “protecting their sons” seems to give boys and young men a huge head start in developing sexist and misogynistic attitudes.

stalls with no doors should be designated a hate crime.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic with the “refined” bit. Kind of making fun of the pretentious NYT piece. Sorry if that didn’t come across. 

Prosecco SHOULD be dry, but I usually find ONE (1) dry Prosecco option in my local booze store. There are lots of good, cheap options in Europe, but I don’t live in Europe, I live in Massachusetts [sobs].

Indeed.

Also, timezones.

Philly is EST and California (where Doordash corporate is located) is PST, so 12:34pm on Thursday in Philly is 9:34am in Palo Alto.

I didn’t notice any mention of what timezone the reply time was stamped in, but I’d imagine it was EST.

I call Shenanigans on this! Door Dash has operations going pretty much 24/7 across the entire USA & Canada including Hawaii Not to mention they are currently in operational tests in Australia. If they don’t already have a operational 24/7 war room to deal with their fly by night contractors (Dasher dashes right into a…

Fernet is used in Europe to settle ones stomach. I cannot drink it for that reason. It brings up bad memories of me chugging a miniature to get it over with, while my Dad coaxes me to drink a little more...it’ll make me feel better.

Prosecco should not be sweet. Even cheap prosecco, since even good prosecco is often crazy cheap for a sparkling wine. Its by definition a dry wine, and its often considerably dryer than champagne.

I think it’s wrong to say that you have a “refined” palate if you like bitter things and don’t like sweet things. How people taste has a lot to do with the number of taste buds and the exact nature of those buds. For example, my husband is pretty much a non-taster; he loves bitter things and isn’t very interested in…

If you begin a sentence with ‘I hope this doesn’t offend you’, then you probably shouldn’t keep going. I didn’t think this needed to be explained, yet here we are. 

These are the actions of an abuser. Here’s how: Abuse is about manipulation of power and control. Here he is, being a “concerned” parent to show up at school to pick up his kids, even though, based on what is being reported, he should not. He’s trying to publicly show that he is a responsible parent. It situations…

Zach Smith looks like a guy who tells his friends, “I know they have to act like that, but that stripper was definitely into me.”

He’s about 6 days away from an iPhone-filmed tirade while driving and wearing tactical shades.

Courtney Smith was also at the school to pick up the kids, and Zach “was not to pick up their children until after 6 p.m.,” presumably not from the school.

Look at us here, interacting as a beer community. Gives me the warm fuzzies.

this is the most useful advice, epsecially for novice raters. Because this is how you can really interact with a community. 

It’s not just Phoenix, and it’s not just trade value. The flippers are even worse. They stand in line for some major release (usually a BA stout), go rate it 5* before they’ve even tasted it in some cases, and then try to resell it for several times what they paid for it before the other reviews start rolling in.

I heard a rumor from a friend in Phoenix that some beer traders there automatically rate barrel-aged/special-release beers from local breweries 5 stars so as to artificially inflate their trade value. smdh 

I might look at it with some curiosity, but wow, do people like some awful beer on Untappd. This weekend I had quite possibly the worst beer I’ve ever tasted, and it’s got a 3.61 cap average.
