Well, that's my point. Ten, even five, years ago you would never see such a thing as a GF menu. Even Dominos offers GF pizza now.

I dunno. It's a heck of a lot easier to find a restaurant that serves GF pasta these days. I'd rather be able to eat at a place but have the waiter think I'm a jerk than the other way around.

I don't think anyone has said that heterosexuality is purely socialized while homosexuality is purely hardwired. Likely (and there is plenty of evidence for this, but no definitive central cause for attraction) both are the products of a mixture of environment and genetics. No one is claiming that heterosexuality is…

"You're from Maine"

Yeah, I got the sarcasm, it just didn't seem to have a point to it.

What? No, a state college, not an online one, if that's what you're asking.

As a person with Celiac, I LOVE the fad dieters. Do you have any idea how difficult and expensive it was to find gluten-free food before?

Either actually flag them down, or ask another passing server/host if they could tell your server to come over.

That's not entirely true. There has been more than one study on gluten intolerance, and many of them conflict. Also, there are plenty of people who probably have Celiac but instead are diagnosed as "gluten intolerant" because a true Celiac diagnosis requires three markers (blood markers, inflammation in the small…

I don't know where you live, but I get lots of blank stares when I say "celiac disease" and I live in a university town.

I have Celiac's, but I tell people that I have a "gluten allergy" or "am allergic to wheat, rye, and barley" because most laypeople don't truly know what gluten/celiacs is, or are far more likely to take "allergy" seriously than "autoimmune disease."

Frying in bacon grease is acceptable and totally different than soaking for hours in hot grease.

No, the difference is that instead of having to prove that the victim put enough effort in to not consenting, all a court has to do is prove that the perpetrator didn't seek consent. Basically, under the previous system it was the victim's fault for not saying no loudly enough, and now its the perpetrator's fault for…

Perhaps in the criminal justice system that will be true, but most college rape cases go through the college's own system, which doesn't have the "beyond a reasonable doubt" clause.

The bill explicitly includes physical consent (for example, reciprocating sexual attention, taking off your clothes voluntarily and without prompting, and you know, appearing to have a good time would all be physical ways of consenting). Did you even read the article?

Well it is the DC Universe. They've got all sorts of SFnal technology even though its supposedly the same time period as us.

Literally her entire schtick is being a reporter. What else would you possibly have her do?

Your facebook feed is tailored to the interests of you and your immediate contacts, so it doesn't actually reflect the wider visibility of this story.

I get your point (and I was being deliberately flippant) but at the same time, the connection that MichFest seems to be drawing between "penis" and "sexual assault" is such a problematic one to me. For one there are plenty of women who are assaulted by men without a penis ever being involved at all. For another,…

I doubled the American's, though, so that's probably not a good thing. It might be a duck call for Tea Partiers or something.
