Because in current English vernacular, they’re still called Cantonese people and their language is called Cantonese. Nobody says Guangzhounese people or calls their language Guangzhounese. If I knew you were quibbling about semantics, I wouldn’t’ve responded in the first place.

Yes, the author incorrectly stated the time period that influenced Chinese restaurants in America, but he correctly stated that Cantonese people a.k.a. people from Guangzhou originated it. Your original post made it seem like you didn’t understand Canton = Guangzhou.

Guangzhou = Canton.

One of the things this election has revealed to non-political junkies is just how easy it is for a billionaire to spend a few million (or less!) to install their stooge in these random districts all over the country. One silver lining of this whole mess is making the average American care about their vote, though I…

Too conspiracy theory-ey. Belichick’s made many moves that were questionable at the time (Milloy, Law, Seymour, hell even Chandler Jones) and indeed the Patriots suffered briefly in the aftermath of those moves, but they eventually smoothed out and kept winning.

I liked your commentary in this article and it got me thinking about how the obvious meta-commentary in regards to the current political climate of the U.S. may have subconsciously turned people off to the movie. I’d like to explore the parallel themes some more but my thoughts are quite unorganized as of yet.

The first dip of choice for Ritz crackers should be pimento cheese. How are you going to put Buffalo-chicken cheese dip, which isn’t even a classic dip, before pimento cheese?

If Nike or some sports lab (like BALCO) develops a substance derived from some plant in the Amazon jungle, says it’s not on any ban list and will improve your performance 5%, would you eat it? If you do, are you morally or ethically doping? Yes. Are you technically/illegally doping? No, because that substance isn’t…

MLK’s letter about the white moderate being more of a roadblock than the KKK to racial justice has never been more true than it is today. Don’t protest at a sporting event, don’t bring politics into music, don’t talk about gun control after a mass shooting.

The USOC’s desire (and to be honest, the American public’s desire) to win more golds/medals than other countries to prove our superiority allowed this to happen. Allowed the election of board members who “produced results.” The same desire caused the Russians to implement a massive doping scheme, the same with the…

Cowardly also because when McGahn threatened to quit rather than order Mueller fired and told Trump to order it himself if he so wished, Trump immediately backed off. He’s definitely the type to send his underling to do the actual firings.

Sure, in your case, if I were one of the cocktail drinkers, I often just wave off your part of the bill and ask you to chip in on drinks at the next place, or spring for a couple of pitchers. My group of friends tend to split the bill based on round numbers and you might pay $5 more than you owed this time and you…

Asking for a lemon is fine, normal even. There are people who ask for a dish of lemons, and use 4 sugar packets, or if they’re in a classy restaurant that doesn’t have a sugar caddy, ask for sugar specifically to make shitty lemonade because they’re so stingy they refuse to pay for lemonade or any other beverage. You…

Maybe in the old days, or maybe if he flies out of some shithole airport, but if you’re flying a major US airline out of a busy airport, the upgrade list is packed with that airline’s frequent flyer members and its sorted by tier. The only flight in recent memory that I got a random upgrade was a half-empty flight…

Mayo + Sriracha is great for fries.

The Venn diagram of people who do this and people who tip poorly is a perfect circle.

Easy solution. Mumble something about God and praying for their affected loved ones, then ramble about how you’re setting up a commission or taskforce to solve their problems. Then blame _______ when nothing actually happens.

This should honestly be illegal. We give law enforcement so much power over us, they should have to adhere to a stricter interpretation of our laws in order to protect us from them. I know the military alters certain Constitutional rights while in uniform, so it’s not unprecedented an idea. A man we give the power of…

Fucking Tom Coughlin, man.

How much of your freedoms are you willing to lose for the illusion of safety? When we plan to go out and bar hop or party, we make arrangements for cabs, but I often drink one glass of beer or wine when out to dinner and am fine to drive. Am I slightly more impaired than completely sober? Yes. Is that impairment worse…
