This looks and sounds as incredibly unappealing to me as that Jollibee stuff. I realize it’s a cultural thing, but man alive does that raise the ol’ bile just thinking about it. I can’t think of any good application of “starch+sugar” (sweet potatoes are also gross) but it’s these absolutely terribly takes on italian…

If the pie is one texture - pumpkin, for instance - it’s better cold. If not, better *warm* (not hot). Why is this so hard. Why must all these takes be so bad.

Their “competitive edge” is “corporate finance transparency” and has absolutely nothing to do with, you know, the product? This sounds exactly like the kind of pizza place that would be huge in China/Russia and never make a dent in places with actual pizza options.

This conversation thread is so strange. This “explanation” is the simplest thing ever: someone saying one garbage chain A, serving food X, is better than some other garbage chain B serving food X, and then that garbage chain A makes good food X...that just means they’ve never actually had good food X.

I don’t know why…

“They have no good food there”

All these “snubbed emmy” arguments will have to wait until after Rhea Seehorn gets at least a nomination; thank you.

Honest question because I don’t know how the police union, or a union in general, works: Is it a national thing? Does every cop need to join the union to be a cop? Does paying dues (as I assume cops do) in, say, Maine affect cases in Texas, and if so, how would that cop in Maine go about holding ones in other…

I saw El Camino - it was fine? Maybe spoilers but I tried to make this relatively spoiler free:


The story didn’t really need to be told. Now, to that, normally I’d say that “hey I still like more good stories anyway”, which, well, sure, but also, compared to Breaking Bad as a whole, with all it’s tightly interwoven…

“EDM which translates parts of lyrics into dance” is *absolutely* the purview of hip hop dance; [seemingly] confusing the extremely broad hip hop dance genre, of which this 100% qualifies, with the musical genre is an odd take. The dance genre can, and does, involve all manner of other musical genres. Yeah, WoD is…

I mean with a branded name like “Kim Kardashian Kosplay”, what could go wrong?

All well and good, but yes, I was calling out for the trivia lovers out there in the audience. I guess it’s a personal failing of mine that when people bring in legal aspects I feel compelled to [try to] echo the precision of the law, since I very much know the larger point you were making.

A point of clarification: companies are required to look after the “best interests” of their shareholders; legally, this is not to say that they must then seek profit margins above all else.

Ah but you see I alone can break it down by its logical steps by playing devils advocate; by doing so I get to use my cool head of logic to rise above the hoi pilloi and use words like “whilst” and “aplomb”. 

Debt isn’t secured against equity (shares); [secured] debt is secured against assets, of which shares are not. It’s also somewhat unlikely that that’s how the money was raised here as well.

When a private company raises money, they do so in two ways:

-Equity: This is done by selling shares to private investors (venture…

Yeah, but one side wants to control people’s bodies based on their own personal morals, and the other side doesn’t. The fact that some people are passionate about side doesn’t make them any more valid.

Being anti-abortion for other people is akin to being pro-rape; someone who feels their morals give them the right to dictate how other people exercise their reproductive autonomy. You know, like rapists.

The answer is “for worse”. The only upside of this for anyone is “a small handful of people make a lot of money”, which, well, who cares?

I know the story and genesis of the ok sign to white power symbol, and he’s still right. The entire point is to have plausible deniability, but that doesn’t make its use by actual racist scumbags any less so the case. That’s what happens with movements like this, and it has nothing at all to do with people not being…

See, that’s kinda what I had thought, but in looking at the actual picture in question, I can get behind Universal’s move. The way it’s used therein is super unnatural and clearly used in a manner of the dog whistle.

Sounds like how it has always been. The continued success of Modern Family, one of the most toothless shows I’ve ever seen, has baffled me since Day 1.
