Ha. I went through a dill phase. Put it on everything - salads, eggs, sandwiches, whatever I was making for dinner. I swear I went though a bottle of dill five times as fast as any other thing I had in the cabinet.

I paid for that mess and something has to offset the $5 I spent for half a sprig of rosemary.

That’s not “thinking for yourself” - another phrase most often bandied about by people who actually don’t.

Calling into question the validity of the study by using the blanket argument that all statistics lie is insinuation enough. You saw an article proclaiming that the wage gap exists, and rather than pass it by, you decided you had to call into question the validity of it - without presenting any evidence that the study…

Nope. I’m done. More than twenty years of politics and watching the Right eat away at this country while the Left constantly talked about how we have to include everyone in the conversation regardless of how bigoted, how racist, how misogynist they are? No. That time is over. It culminated in Donald Trump being…

No, you’re not. People like you use that argument in only one circumstance: when you don’t like the results of a study.

Reasonable people can reasonably disagree about the size and sources of the wage gap. But as soon as you accuse anyone who thinks the gap is not as large as conventionally reported of “mansplaining”...

Like all statistics, they can be setup to get the result you desire before you ever start collecting data.

Maybe try bending the ears, too. Little stiff.

So I point out that you’re wrong about the basic operation of a washing machine, and the best you can do is an insult about ironing socks?

Washing machines periodically cycle in clean water. There’s agitation, the spin cycle - you can’t compare all the activity in a washing machine to a person just sitting in a small, static pool of water.

But even when I lived in a suburb and drove everywhere, I still cleaned my entire body when I got in the bath.

Fair point, says this user of AdGuard ;)

I largely agree, up until this:

Who is your secret fast food love? 

I know, I was just being a goof :)

Oh, I know. I’m just being goofy.

Is it really priceless when it’s insured for a specific value?

Would lip service really satisfy anyone, though? It seems to me that if they said anything like what you suggested, it would likely be even worse for them. They’d get hammered even harder for not taking these concerns seriously because it would be obvious lip service.

Oh, for sure. I just mean, it’s not about this one thing, you know? It’s more like, I’d rather spend the money on the ingredients and make the blends rather than spend the money on the blends because it’s less expensive that way - when you make a lot of blends. But you’re right. If you’re just looking at this one…
