Can anybody help me out here? It is blowing my mind how Uber can operate without being regulated as a taxi service, and everyone seems to be ok with it. Why? The only thing even remotely resembling an explanation suggests it has something to do with the service being online. But I can order a pizza online - that…

Don’t forget the soupçon of familiarity he has with Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’. He seems to be very of fond of “Pretend to be weak, that (your enemy) may grow arrogant”, and particularly keen on “Divide and conquer”. I thought this evident even during the campaign.

I’m speaking generally, not singling you out personally, but you give a good example of another thing that disappoints me about christmas: I don’t want to hear the details of everyone’s shopping status. Everyone is compelled to tell me what they got for who and how many more things they need.

Seriously, the christmas consumer frenzy is such bullshit, I’m at the point where I think everyone who still participates is an idiot. It’s nothing but a garbage generator; a cultural tradition exploited by corporations to guilt folks into spending money on wasteful nonsense. Think about it, all the things you buy…

“The difference between steel-cut, rolled, and instant oats is simply how much the oat groat has been processed. This also results in each variety having a distinct texture and varying cook times.

they’re just now okay with it!

Is there a such thing as sympathetic post-partum depression? If there is, you got it.

Which is from this wonderful essay. Which may still be too subtle for some people to get.

Ahh, but an ideal use? I could use a pork chop as a coaster, but would that be the judicious return on the resources expended to produce said pork chop? Respectfully, I just believe food should used as food, and more effort needs to go into reducing waste all the way up & down the chain. It seems so profane with what…

...giving the thumbs-down instead of the finger...

used to sue magazines for even suggesting that he was gay

Some folks think it’s just polite to focus on others, rather than themselves, but I often feel like I’m trapped in an excruciating interrogation instead of a social interaction. I recommend third-party subjects, like music, or events in your community, sports/food/weather etc. I don’t want to hear about your job any…

I peel & chop a few pumpkins each autumn and cook this delicious food. I’m a little bewildered why people waste them. I wonder why people waste food at all - whenever I see an egg being thrown I feel sorry for the chicken that had to do all that work to make one. Then again, I ordinarily tend to feel sorry for…

May I please have the name / address of this site of which you speak? Much appreciated.
