I agree that an advertised ban invites general harassment. It’s more effective and safer for the owner themselves to directly confront any individual customers wearing MAGA hats.

Yup, as a non-white woman this type of grandstanding does not make me feel welcome or safe. No MAGA bans are well intentioned, but they invite confrontation and can create an unsafe situation for targeted minorities.

This is much more effective if handled on a person-to-person basis.

I agree with your idea. An anti-MAGA hat sign could backfire by attracting hostile people who might target your patrons or employees. People who feel safe in society sometimes like to invite confrontations, because they know they will be protected from violence-but many people from targeted minorities groups don’t…

Minorities who might be targeted by MAGA people have no obligation to talk to them-but their fellow cis white people have the responsibility to do the hard work of converting them. “We” haven’t been reaching out to racist bigots for 50 years, the heavy lifting has been done by the certain segments of the population.…

But aren’t the super bugs are a result of the “pansy asses” using anti-bacterial products and antibiotics all the time? Overuse caused the super-bugs to become resistant to traditional methods of killing germs.

Your mistake was thinking that people here wanted to engage in rational thinking.

Wouldn’t the lice also be on your headrest?

People now consider human interaction offensive. We are only comfortable with machines and with people who are in a subservient role.

Yeah, the Diet Coke demographic skews female, so this seems like a harmless marketing appeal to their customer’s meet-cute rom-com fantasies. No actual people are going to use these napkins for the stated purpose.

But they only comment when veganism happens to be the topic of conversation.

Guessing it’s an abortion thing?

Even people who complain about vegans manage not to talk about it at every single public meal.

Wouldn’t this work just as well with whole canned tomatoes, since you are blending them anyway?

Totally understand what you mean by a silkier texture! The calcium chloride makes the meat firm, and just blending it into smaller pieces doesn’t change that fact.

I saw a tweet that pointed out that if you were able to save $100K a year, it would take you 100 years to save $10M.

I didn’t know what it was either, until I left home. It’s a cheese-style product that designed to melt easily and it’s marketed as better for cooking than cheese.

Is Velveeta a regional thing? Some people say they ate it all the time growing up, but I rarely see it used on the West Coast. My family ate all kinds of garbage, but Velveeta just wasn’t on our radar.

Oh, lucky! Drooling over their Yelp page right now.

Really? I can’t find a good sugar cookie in this town (oh, well, Three Girls but the Market is to crowded now). Recommendations, pretty please?
