....if y’all are buying pre-grated cheese, the cellulose is necessary to keep it from clumping up. It is shady to have more than is strictly necessary (ie. the 2-4%) as a cost-cutting method, but not inherently gross.

I love it when people act like treating each other like human beings is some huge inconvenience that requires a ton of their effort to comply to. Certainly there are issues that require a little knowledge and nuance, but 99% is just "treat other people as human beings." I think it says a lot about these people that…

Considering you need to be licensed and trained to use any of the vehicles you listed, I’d rather take my chances with them rather than some armed nutjob who can go and get a gun with neither.

You could build an entire house out of all that straw.

“Practice your attitude” = “Women and black people should remember how to speak when talking to their betters.”

Jesus Fucking Christ, the dude they got a quote from in the story:

I made this account just so I could tell you that I’ve spent the last few days reading BCO obsessively. I am so disappointed to hear that as soon as I discovered your masterpiece of a blog, it’s getting shut down in an effort to strip the world of some precious happiness, I presume. Please don’t stop blogging, I will…

So, having children should only be a luxury afforded to the affluent?

I too enjoy pricing human beings out of bodily functions.

I blame the English language. It’s not Natasha’s fault that “All you can eat” can be singular or plural (and boo to Denny’s for taking advantage of the ambiguity). This wouldn’t have happened in Shakespeare’s day. When the tavern had an “All thou canst eat” special, everybody knew it only meant thee, not thy whole…

It was like he was filibustering rational thinking.

Yeah, but he’s already saying that.

Sadly, as someone with PTSD, I would not be at all surprised if someone did make a “Post Traumatic Shopping Disorder” sweater and idiots and oblivious people thought that was hilarious, too. We as a society are just really, really bad at taking health problems that can’t be pointed to on an x-ray or a photograph…

I had severe OCD from six until recently. It’s horrible. Not being taken seriously makes it even harder. The sweater is not the worst thing ever, but it’s part of a bigger issue: Not taking mental illness seriously. And that’s something that kills people.

I don’t think the two are the same. This is the continued trivialization of a really seriously mental illness and the red cup is... a cup... that is lacking snow flakes?

I’m done being really offended with this and am in the BORED NOW stage. Seriously. Because every time I try to explain to someone why OCD isn’t funny, they tell me how they like their DVDs in alphabetical order which makes them like, totally OCD too soooo.....

Rage. Rage stroke.I want to tell him to try having…

I would have thought Colonel Sanders would be a breast man.

This is only tangentially a food story, but it ends up in a Starbucks, so there you go.

So, I’m really struggling with the cognitive dissonance of knowing men around the world will take any opportunity to keep women down and the idea that I’m supposed to fall in love with one.

My old roommate was a nurse. We lived down the street from our city’s main hospital, and we wanted another roommate to help out with rent. She was not the most ideal roommate for my best friend, but I liked her enough that one Sunday afternoon we walked down to the gas station to pick up some 40s so we could day drink…
