Eh, to each their own. I like an open kitchen enough I will gladly strong arm my guests out of there if they’re doing something inappropriate. The benefit of being able to socialize and work in the kitchen while having everyone on the opposite side of the counter and out of my way far outweighs the drawback of a…

If you have a guest trying to wash dishes they’re either trying to be nice to you or escape from whatever is happening in the living room. So let them, or entertain them better. Either way, it’s not something that’s unique to open concept, let’s be honest.

Your last point about open concept advantages is what makes me prefer them over the alternative. Being able to kick people the fuck out of my kitchen area while still being able to talk to them is soooo valuable to me.

Scare tactics, press, and precedent?

I did the calculations, and Elie spending $16K on this is like my paying my six year old niece a penny for a commissioned portrait of my cat.

Abortion, Parker said, was a “civil conflict between humanity and convenience,” like slavery.

Why the fuck are stupid male politicians making legislation about women’s bodies???!?

“A woman had an abortion? Put her in prison forever! A man put it there? Well you know, boys will be boys something something men’s rights.”

Sure, but they will always find something to complain about. If we worry about what they will say we let them win. If there are criticisms of Pimienta, giving right wingers something to write about is not one of them.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

If people of color are expected to never ruffle the feathers of every right wing publication there will be no progress.
