That is so sad.

From what I’ve read, though, there’s a lot of implicit on-set pressure not to use the safeword, because if the shoot gets stopped and called off nobody gets paid at all (the camera person, lighting person, etc). That makes a lot of unspoken pressure to go along with things.

Unf so much good stuff here. Thanks for excerpting this. Will read.

I love my cast iron dutch oven so much. It’s super flexible for all kinds of things. Do eet. With it you can make french onion soup that is the greatest french onion soup known to man.

I accept full responsibility for this incident.

Wow. I relate very hard to your sense of loss that’s going along with the bundle of joy. I had the same sorts of feels—plunging into this huge change that I wanted SO badly and yet... the life my partner and I had was such a precious and incredible thing to enthusiastically throw away with both hands. But to that I…

Uhhh... don’t google them because of the Bruce Weber Bear Pond on a Cold Day photography collection? Or the actual bears pictured in ponds, or ... ?

Same, got two wrong for a score of 90.

I just like the design of his Mona-Lisa-frowny-face picture with the word TRIGGERED in giant letters beneath it and the rest of the print too tiny to read at a glance. Conservatives, they just can’t handle reality’s liberal bias. Poor snowflakes.

She is a heroine. I have so much respect.

Other fun fact—at the top of the corporate ladder, among the directors and vice presidents and whatnot, there can be tremendous pressure to donate, and unspoken consequences to your career if you decline to do so. The person I knew in this position was extremely unhappy about the situation because most of that…

I was making a joke (arguably a poor one given multiple people didn’t get it) based on Marilyn Hagerty’s memorable review of her local Olive Garden some years back.

It’s a joke based on an old meme of a woman who reviewed a local Olive Garden for her newspaper column.

Yikes. Whoosh was the sound as it went over my head. Thank you for the heads up, this is a linguistic phenomenon (and regional cultural battle) I had no idea existed.

Ooof.

I wouldn’t have named that video ‘redneck couch moving’ so much as ‘awesome engineer couch moving’ cause damn. I didn’t realize which comment you were responding too, didn’t see the ropes at first and even when I did notice them I thought it was going to end badly. But that was great.

The Chicken Alfredo ($10.95) is warm and comforting on a cold day.

So terrible. But so delicious. If it wouldn’t be like a nutritional car crash I would probably eat one or the other every day. Plus a lot of pancakes. Sadly I can’t even remember the last time I ate a nice plate of crispy bacon. And you may be right. I don’t know what my personal experience offers most of the time so…

I don’t like Baco Bits or any of those substitutions. I love MorningStar Farms’ chick’n patties and nuggets and corndogs in an ‘eat-this-not-that’ way and I enjoy their fake sausages but that sad streaked pretender to bacon gives me the worst kind of sad. Turkey bacon can go right to hell.
