All those Republicans losing their minds about the threat of Sharia Law are the very same ones implementing it here.

As much as I think the situation is BS (and I really, really do), I hope the media coverage allows her to find another hospital to both deliver and have the procedure. It’s super short notice, but for her health and the welfare of her family, I hope someone out there is willing to take on a new patient in such extreme…

Oh, no doubt. When The Kid was small, he was convinced that granola bars were healthy. I disabused him of that notion right quick. Don’t get me wrong, we eat candy in my house (husband is a hummingbird, living on the sweet nectar teat of Red Vines and Snickers bars), but I need our son to know that candy is candy and…

*whispers*almond flour tortillas sound kind of yummy—like crepes*slinksawayinshame*

It’s three stupids for the price of one!

Not to mention that almonds were only very recently (like 3000-2000 BC) domesticated, because it took a lot of unpleasant effort to find the not-poisonous ones and grow them specifically. So even vaguely trying to claim them as “paleo” is pretty laughable.

My reaction to Paleo is “Slaughter a mammoth with a stone spear tied to a stick or GTFO.” WE DO NOT LIVE IN PREHISTORIC TIMES, PEOPLE. WE HAVE CONQUERED FIRE AND HAVE AIR CONDITIONING NOW.

Paleo is the absolute worst diet fad of the last 30 years and the amount cult-thinking and junk science used to prop it up is absolutely staggering. And I say that having had conversations with “breatharians” who come off as way more logical and amenable to reason than the paleo fanatics*.

“And as much as I love garlic, not sure I’d want an entire garlic bulb.”

I always used to respond to those requests with, “if I had access to a stack of hundreds/pound of fifties/winning lottery tickets, I can promise you I wouldn’t be here waiting tables.”

I was way more of a smart-ass when I worked in a bookstore, since my manager was always job hunting and couldn’t have cared less. During the height of the “Twilight” craze, right when the last book and the first movie had been released, we were sent a metric ton of merch, including those SweetHearts chalk-flavored…

This weekend I had my four-billionth customer respond to “Can I get you anything else?” with “Yeah, a stack of hundreds, har har har.” I’d just had two miserable shifts in a row, the highlight of which was the homeless drunk who came in and vomited blood all over the floor. I replied “I don’t have any hundreds back…

Unfortunately, the way this case is being handled makes it look like sex trafficking is a workers are legitimate business human beings.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING SHIT

My friend’s fiancé was once like ‘Hohoho, if you rape a prostitute, is it rape or shoplifting, hohoho’ and I practically shouted ‘It’s rape, sex with someone who does not or cannot consent is rape, please stop talking immediately’.

It’s funny because I was just reading 1 Corinthians, and while there is totally one line where Paul condemns “homosexuals” (in quotes because that’s not actually what the Greek means, but there’s not really a great way to translate it into English without a dissertation on ancient gender and sexual ideology), he’s…

They only brought Jesus to dinner with them so they could get free wine.

I think it’s just a feedback loop.

Particularly given that there are plenty of other places where you can hold bible study. My college made rooms available even on weekends, you could go to someone’s house, you might even be able to convince someone in authority at a church to let you study the bible there.

I tip according to the normal price of my meal, plus tax. So if I have a groupon for two entrees for the price of one, I tip for two entrees plus tax. If my favorite waitress at my favorite restaurant pours generously and brings me a free glass of wine (which is common), I tip according to the number of glasses she…
