It’s tennis, but on a tiny little court so one doesn’t have to run around like some filthy commoner. 

On the one hand, I’m ok with them disappearing from public view - maybe forever (probably too much to hope for). On the other hand.... who is going to be residing in those other ‘cottages’?  Also I would like to see them dragged through the court system before they disappear into their commune.

Copper is too expensive and high maintenance for me. I was shopping for new pots and pans earlier this year to replace our far too worn out Calphalon set of hard anodized pots and pans and found a set of Tramontina tri ply stainless steel on sale. They have glass lids but that wasn’t a deal breaker and I love these…

“right after a story involving the lead singer of The Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten, who was bitten on a very unfortunate location on his body by a flea”

Yeah, but we can only really go off what is in the letter - which is the former and not the latter.

I both agree and disagree with Brandy here. I think she’s absolutely right that the LW is projecting a LOT of anger over what should be a pleasant gesture; it’s not that hard to keep a list of stuff you and your husband would like, whether it’s a fancy book, nice wine, or whatever. Or just ask for stuff like sheets…

Asking you to provide a list of things that would make good gifts for you and your husband is asking you to do the emotional labor of caring and being interested that your in-laws could, and don’t, do.

Jeez man, how hard would it be to suggest a few book titles, something for the kitchen or a particular bottle of liquor?

The best answer to that question is “a donation to XXX charity”. 

I had a chance to meet this extraordinary young man and his mother years ago at his family’s restaurant here in Gary. He was working behind the counter, and we chatted about his love of cooking. Just an incredibly sweet kid. May he rest in peace, reunited with his mom.

Tesla is currently valued higher than Toyota. Toyota sells more Rav4s in America than Tesla sells cars worldwide..

Rest in Peace young Master Chef. May the ancestors welcome you with open arms.

In fact, it continues to lose money.

I mean, when it’s a 5-7 dollar service/delivery fee ordering from an indie pizza place and a fee structure of 8-10 dollars for fast food, it’s like.... what the fuck?Between constantly fleecing restaurant owners for upwards of 30% and charging customers an extra 30%, how are they losing money? drivers? 

Just like that “trickle down” will work any second...NOW!!!

Came here to say exactly this. People with the predisposition to fall for snake oil pitches will fall for almost anything that is framed correctly and fed to them the right way. Critical thinking and skepticism are vital to navigating the modern world without being duped. It’s one reason having a higher education is…

Oddly I was reading a novel yesterday, with the main action set around the mid 90s, in which a child dies because his parents believed

“The satanic cabal that has been ruling the world for thousands of years is about to be exposed and exterminated.”

The wellness movement is largely built on the magical thinking we can control our fate with the correct behavior. Surely if we do enough yoga and eat only the correct things and find inner peace we’ll never ever get sick.

It makes sense that the “essential oils” crowd would fall for this QAnon nonsense. I haven’t met a single person who peddles essential oils who hasn’t been a complete dingbat.
