This is good except for two obvious errors:

Fuck, I am soooooo bummed.

I make vegan eggplant parm all the time using Isa Chandra’s cashew-tofu ricotta cheese. I also use it for lasagna, crepe filling, on regular pasta with various sauces, and as a protein-heavy sauce on veggies. The recipe can be found in her cookbook Veganomicon, but here’s a similar recipe I found online:

He’s a real “thinker” okay

The user you’re responding to was quoting Polanski, not saying those things as their opinion (though it seems they accidentally left off the first quotation mark, which does make it confusing). Polanski said the whole second paragraph about killing someone and juries and judges and young girls. He’s despicable. Here’s…

Most of the things I would add have already been mentioned in other comments, but I’ll add a weird one: focusing on reducing waste.

Thanks. The more you know! I assumed anyone who had won awards was automatically invited.

Better late than never. Yet they had no comment on Woody Allen, hm?

No, Republicans picked the last justice because they successfully held Obama’s nominee hostage for about a year. I still cannot believe that the Democrats didn’t make a bigger deal over that. Republicans hijacked the Supreme Court.

For the comments objecting to the inclusion of PETA in this article — you can absolutely disagree with how they carry out parts of their mission (I personally do) but the euthanasia rates at their shelters are high for a reason. PETA responds to a lot of cruelty and neglect cases that “no-kill” shelters won’t touch.…

I see this all the time when I edit copy. People also seem incapable of picking a side on the Oxford comma debate as well, so I’m always going through and fixing those to be consistent.

I work in a field where two spaces after the period is a best practice due to increasing readability on the page. So if someone sends me copy with just one space after the period I have to edit in the second spaces. Though more often than not I get copy where the writer is just indiscriminately scattering spaces with…

Besides the apparent grossness of the show’s plot, the author of the novel has been accused of sexual harassment and dropped by his literary agent (the second article is mainly about the author of The Maze Runner’s harassment allegations, but Asher is mentioned as well):

This! My husband quit his wage-stagnant 9-to-5 job a few years back to start his own small business. He never could have made that leap if it hadn’t been for two things: 1) being able to buy income-adjusted health insurance on our state’s marketplace; 2) us getting married and knowing that my salary could cover the…

Agreed. Besides giving an opportunity to express thoughtful gratitude for what hopefully was a thoughtful gift, thank you notes also serve the purpose of confirming to the giver that their gift was received. For something like a baby shower where the gift is generally opened in-person in front of the giver, this…

This isn’t about the public service forgiveness program, but semi-related...

Absolutely true, for all pre-wedding events/parties. Showers, bachelor/bachelorette/engagement parties. If you invite someone to a wedding-themed event, it is essentially also a verbal invitation to the wedding as it’s assumed that you wouldn’t invite someone to celebrate an event you don’t actually want them at. The…

Seconding what snuffleupagus27 said. If you told the MOH that this party was out of your budget, that’s it, conversation over. I’d circle back and remind her that you said X several weeks ago, and that your budget hasn’t changed. If she throws a shit fit, it’s her fault — you can’t spend other people’s money and…

Yeah, I love CPR as much as the next person (probably more, considering) but this is a stupid fucking plan for dealing with school shootings.

I think they’re saying that if you de-regulate things to the point that some Libertarians might prefer, there is a distinct possibility that the remaining government body couldn’t actually prevent individuals from enacting their will on others. Not everyone would be happy to just mind their own business being self…
