They aren’t paid enough to do investigative journalism.

So breaking into a government building and putting your feet up on a desk while trespassing is free speech and ok, but learning medical facts is evil? 

And do tell: how is the author shopping for herself supposed to change this? The chips she wants are ALL LIKE THIS. It’s not like if she goes to the store, other full bags will magically become available. Does this really need to be said? Sheesh. 

But the Instacart ads say the shoppers are as particular as you would be. They may be not telling the truth?

Can’t eat too many Twinkies in pursuit of that goal.

I’m pre-embalmed for my early grave.

I’m beginning to think processed foods might not be that great

On the flip side the biggest European treats not allowed in America are Universal Health Care and the Kinder surprises..

Stop it with the damn hot dog sandwich question that was a mildly funny internet joke over a decade ago.

I love Gail Simmons so much! Thanks for this. :)

You said “other chains have tried fucking around with Cheez-Its.” Not everyone appreciates reading the f-word in a random article, especially one about food that kids might read. That leaves a writer with two choices:

1) Use the f-word because you feel like it and want to sound cool, but alienate readers who don’t like

I don’t know. It’s weird now. He always had pervy comedy, but he presented himself as a helpless, hapless underdog while he was doing it. Now we know he was a very powerful and well-respected comedian whose disapproval could ruin careers, so that pierces that veil and his creepy jokes just become ... creepy.

You’re asking the wrong question.

I liked it because it actually brings up how creepy it is that people can own droids given that they are fully thinking, feeling beings. Then again the prequels reveal that even the Old Republic had human slavery (Anakin was born into it) so maybe their whole society was just kind of fucked up even before the Empire.

Tell me you didn’t watch the piece without telling me you didn’t watch the piece.

I tried really hard not to feel involved or invested in this trial—I don’t know anything about this relationship and I don’t want to assume innocence or guilt when such horrifying accounts of domestic violence exist on both sides.

I am delighted to learn they are a couple. Wendy and Goose 4eva!

Bets on this getting cancelled after one season?

I am curious, since the concept itself isn’t like food network star was, mainly they are not trying to be media stars, did they not have predatory contracts like you see with American Idol? For those not aware, at least during Cowell’s tenure, his company basically owned everyone that made it past an early point so

Gay people who work for Christian schools are like the “I never thought the leopard would eat MY face” people. All things considered, I think 41 years is a pretty good run.
