Most credit unions I’ve seen require you to meet some sort of (non-financial) requirement to become a member. Mine, for example, requires either you live, work, worship, or attend school in one of two counties; work for one of a couple of dozen companies in the region; attend one specific church (outside the…

I do belong to one, though not exclusively. The only problem with credit unions, at least with regards to this article, is that almost all of them have some sort of affiliation requirement--something the people who can’t get bank accounts will frequently lack.

The income issue comes in when banks won’t let you open an account with less than a $100 deposit (or some other arbitrary number), then charges you fees every time you drop below some other arbitrary threshold. Or they charge you overdraft fees larger than your net worth when you accidentally spent an extra 37 cents…

Slipping a “secret” tip to a restaurant host ahead of time doesn’t always lead to specialized service, either

The fact that you mention a lack of rules and Little Caesars in the same comment reminded me of one of my favorite, stupidly funny commercials, and I thank you for it.

Yeah, but what you’re missing is that I can’t really munch on a giant sphere of ice. A bunch of smaller pieces, on the other hand...

For what it’s worth, Seth probably agrees with you that Family Guy should have been cancelled a long time ago. He’s long said that he believes most shows shouldn’t run for more than 7 seasons, and while he’s still involved (mostly as a voice actor), he hasn’t been a writer or the showrunner for FG for about 15 years.…

I keep seeing small shops that scrimp and pinch pennies, finally raising prices in a last ditch defense

I can’t speak to how they do it one way or another, but at least at my local Arby’s, I’ve never got a sandwich where the cheese was actually melted when I received it, so I don’t know why they’d nuke it like that just for this burger. If they cook the patty sous vide and deep fry it for a crust, a slice of American…

I’m not saying it’s confusing, I’m pointing out that saying something that can be made with honey is vegan is simply incorrect.

Don’t forget the republishing of an old article, originally ripped from a reddit thread, as a slideshow and then a video!

Even if the argument is supposed to be that you wouldn’t think to dine-in at a Domino’s (are there even any at which you can? I thought they were all carryout/delivery only), let me tell you... there are plenty of pizza places that I’ve ordered from that I would never go to to eat. It’s just such a strange article to…

The basis of sorbet is a combination of water, a sweetener like sugar or honey, and a fruit puree. Sorbet is vegan

I love that they no longer cast or assign someone to be the villian. They all seem like genuinely awesome people and chefs.

Even better if that’s the case! I think it’s absurd when someone tries to retroactively take credit for (read: make exclusivity-based money off) something that’s long been in the zeitgeist.

Perfectly reasonable approach!

That’s something I can understand. And even still, I couldn’t tell you the last time I had to ask for an extra plate when it’s clear it’s shared food--usually they just bring one. It seems ridiculous to ask them to split it for you.

I know LeBron tried to trademark it, so I guess I’d rather it go to a taco restaurant that’s been using the saying since before he was born.

rather than requesting that the kitchen split it up for you.

Man, I’ll argue with my idiot friends about just about anything, but when it comes to food, it’s pretty much only whether or not we think something is any good, not whether it’s the “right” way.
