Panera is overpriced and has small portions and their food is mediocre. You’re paying to feel like you’re eating healthy and sit in a Starbucks-wannabe modern dining area.

Bodega’s in Nyc have cheap as hell egg and cheeses and primarily always use real eggs. 1/4 the cost of Panera or a 1/3. I guess the lesson is support local businesses.

It’s weird that Panera is bitching about other companies “hiding” ingredients, considering they’re the place that sells a grilled cheese without telling you there’s bacon on it.

Thank you. I know this is totally off topic, but I got into a huge argument with my husband once (like, a legit argument) because I told him I’d rather sleep with Steve Buscemi* than Marky Mark. He didn’t believe me.

If only there was a famous literary character whose slavish devotion to the letter of the law and conflation of legality with morality led to an existential ethical crisis, causing him to realize that the only honorable path for himself is suicide and damnation.

There are too many soulless assholes who feel that someone becomes a nonhuman with no rights once they’ve committed a crime. See also: pretty much any discussion of the treatment of prisoners.

My family has a horse ranch in Yuma, AZ. There are elevated emergency water tanks along a couple hundred mile stretch of the US : Mexico border. A favorite pastime of those motherfucking backward racist desert assholes is to shoot live munitions through the tanks to drain them of the water. Keep in mind, Yuma is one…

But pregnant teens will be denied abortions, because LIFE. IS. SACRED.

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. And I completely understand feeling sad for the dog. You can’t explain what’s happening to him.

My primary partner has never had a dog. So I got her a dog for Christmas.

Just finished reading On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (fantastic book and i could not recommend it enough in the political times we live in) and started reading Norse Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and…

I’m wondering if anyone else in the US feels like the economy is not as strong as the official numbers say? I know I only have local (to New England) annecdata, but two people I know have been laid off recently, and one co-worker’s husband was laid off, and at my husband’s company, they receieved almost 600…

She thought the Queen of England would be happy about someone publishing a book about her underwear? That takes levels of self-deception I can only stare at, amazed.

Team Aniston forever.
