Hard to tell, but what i’ve noticed is that Paul really does not like older, white dude contestants. Me thinks he does not like the mirror. 

His dislike of matcha makes me defensive. It does not taste like grass at all, it’s ground tea and it pairs really well, surprisingly, with white chocolate. a local bakery makes white chocolate dipped matcha shortbread and it’s amazing. 

I agree with this. I’ve found 3-4 days to be about the magic number for maximum bubbles and flavor.

So about a week for croissants? I’ve made croissants many times and while they look right they were always disappointingly bland.

Nah.

I’d make the exact opposite argument. Ordering while overwhelmed with the menu does not make you order new and exciting dishes but lets you fall back on tried and proven favorites.

That’s an impressive whine. Did mom send you to your room for vaping?

Iirc you need a doctor’s note after three days, so your Monday hangover should not be an issue. I don’t remember the total number of sick days, though. 

Germany, not the US. You can’t fire people like you can in the US and that’s a very good.

Onion powder is your friend! 

Obviously my’s better. I mean, figures, right? right? :D

And? Anyone seriously hung-over is not fit to go to work. If this happens often enough to cause an absence related problem you have a drinking problem that is an illness and requires treatment. I don’t see what you’re all being smug about.

Totally, utterly unrelated, but does your office have a communal candy bowl?

The US is not yet Nazi Germany. This is an ever so slight overreaction.

Sure, sounds legit. No, really, this does not sound like you defensively backpedaling at all.  

If it were just that one time I wouldn’t sideeye it so hard but I might have been binging some of the older seasons and Paul being weird about POC, especially people with Indian or Pakistan heritage is starting to stand out. Creep less, Paul. 

Wow, it’s so ingrained that you don’t even realize that all your mocking examples are women. Stop defaulting to women when you want to name someone doing something stupid, miller.

Wouldn’t it be nice, Steve, if we could have a male version, too. Defaulting to shaming women, and women only, gets old. Where are the male Karens, Beckys etc? Because, as the LW just demonstrated, this is a thing dudes do too. 

Management/owners presumably have ears. They don’t care and you get no say.

This is why I’m happy that Phil was the one who went home, because I was not going anywhere near a Priya or Michael elimination on Indian sweets week.
