Your child was Shin-chan?

Yeah. We go to small, family owned places here all the time, you have to if you want region-specific Asian, South-American, Indian, Mexican or Italian food, and at most of them, the kids of the family are present. In most cases the kids are actually working (particularly cute is the little girl at the Vietnamese place…

Ah, thank you.

What is enby?

There’s probably an unpaid intern somewhere whose job is to pick up candy wrappers from under the table once the meetings are over. That person might be an actual human being.

It depends on your hair. If you have really dry, fine, curly hair, you may be able to use some of the products for black hair or for mixed people’s hair. But if you don’t, you’ll be better off with the products designed for white types of curly hair.

I’m not getting “hyped” I’m just trying to make certain that I’m expressing myself clearly. It sets a precedent, that’s all. That’s what’s disturbing about it.

And just a few days ago, supporters were slobbering all over the “TRUMP SAYS WE’RE GOING TO SPACE AGAIN!!! YEAH ‘MURKAH!!!” thing.

No, I’m not, I’m just saying that your explanation really isn’t any more comforting on the basis of it not being a mental illness/dementia. The president not knowing where he’s going and people just letting him wander off is a security issue. While the base cause is or isn’t either dementia or just not knowing/caring,…

Everyone loves it, just like everyone loves a good pasty, but the origin and connotations are what we’re dealing with in these instances. It’s not the food itself, its the given/accepted context around it.

That’s just as bad really. That’s either couldn’t be bothered to know or couldn’t remember he’s taking the car.

Even Tresemme (I think that’s the company, anyway) had enough sense to make their commercial “smooth doesn’t have to be straight” rather than blarghing on about “natural” hair for a commercial with all white models in it. You’d think that if they could get it right, anyone could.

Yep, been waiting for this comment. It’s a convenience food of the working classes/poor who couldn’t go into a sit-down restaurant, hybridized with racism that would also not allow you to go into many places when travelling/about your daily errands/duties to buy and eat food. A lot like pasties and pies would have…

I watched LOST for way too long, just so I could watch Kim.

More likely they just watched old episode of the original, didn’t see anything wrong, started making plans, side eyed the one non-white exec in the room to see what their reaction was and then said “uhm...we should add a woman. And probably some other stuff. Like an uh...Hawa...uh Asian?”

Maybe, maybe not. It’s still a fairly foreign concept in some parts of the country. I have exactly one client with a Model S, it took him two years to get it, and he has actively hated it since the day it was finally delivered. I know what the majority of the country thinks of Iowa, but...it’s just not yet a “go”…

Yeah. We were poor as shit, but we had a garden. My mom made damned sure that when we packed whatever it was she could manage for lunch that we each took an extra, because she knew some other kid would need it.

Which is part of the problem with putting things up your nose that really shouldn’t be there, you can damage those receptors to the point where you can no longer smell anything (inhalable flu vaccine cases, remember?) or no longer smell much, and there goes actually tasting anything.

They look like they might be the “right” age from the “right” area. That is probably literally all. Oh, maybe someone told them they were, but I highly doubt any reputable archaeologist was consulted.

Yep. And if you have a coupon or birthday offer or free item or whatever, it’s 20% on the pre-discounted amount. So many people don’t abide by that, and it makes me crazy. (I’ve never not tipped. I’ve had a server that was disgustingly dirty and smelly and complained to the manager, but however grossed out I was, it…
