I feel like we need a “worst” choice, or maybe we should be able to rank all 4 each time. My love of mustard can in no possible scenario outweigh Allison’s other selections - goat cheese, avocado, bbq sauce, and raw onions have somehow placed her 5th in a 4-way contest! 🤮

The first three toppings in this draft are ....

BBQ sauce and goat cheese?

I’m going to guess it’s because most of them are based in Chicago where it’s cool to hate on ketchup for some reason. And yet, you are correct about ketchup on a burger.

Local pub here pulled a “prank” last year. If you ordered a non-alcoholic beer, you’d get a glass of water.

I’ve got no problem with gluten, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable eating something with this level of sentience.

The Gluten has become self-aware. Time to flee to the hills.

Or I could just not remember it and tell them my name and I bet there is a record of my ownership somewhere if only there was some sort of database with that information? Maybe someday they will figure that out.

On a side note, I can’t stand how much financial irresponsibility goes along with car culture. Putting $5,000 worth of car parts on a credit card, being late on payment because you spend the money on race tires, not funding retirement/kids college investments because you’d rather make that upgrade you’ve always dreamt…

When child #2 came along we were broke as a joke but needed a better family vehicle. I sold both of our cars to buy my wife a decent Ford Explorer with cash, paid off a small debt we had, and used what was left for myself. I found a 1987 Jetta with a busted transmission for $200, got a tranny from a junkyard for $100.…

Some banks offer to “round up” purchases, putting the extra into a savings account.  So if you buy a hot dog for $1.29, the bank makes it an even $2 and puts $0.71 into your savings account.

You should reconsider, especially for any cars above 15K.

Uh nothing. Only reason I’d be “desperate” to spend money on a car is if I needed to get somewhere - in which case, there’s myriad transportation options if my vehicle’s issues can’t be immediately addressed. Any other reason is likely not worth your time/effort if you can’t otherwise pay for it outright. Stop doing…

I participated in capitalism.

Backdoor boys 6 : The storage room

Tangentially - last time I collected all the change I had in the house, it resulted in an epic evening with some friends and a 3 month’s relationship with a woman whose stage name was Fallon.

This argument completely ignores the ridiculously demanding dining culture we have fostered in this country. I’m so tired of the, “pay a living wage like they do in Europe” argument. Have you eaten out in Europe? I’ve been to dozens of countries and aside from the handful of mom and pop places that slather you with…

You’re a fucking jerk. Stiffing your server isn’t about “pushing for change” so you can drop that excuse any time now. That’s not how you make it happen, and given the pull the restaurant lobby has, there’s precious little chance of that happening anyway. And once the prices jump to take into account waitstaff…

This is going to come off as terrible, but before I do, let me just mention that I grew up poor, am still not wealthy or elitist by any means, and waited tables for 5 years, so bear with me.
