Though the setting is incredibly modern, check the Convergeance series that’s out now. A lot of the old characters are revisited and get closure. I’m even talking about versions of characters such as a married Superman. It’s really good to read about those old characters again.

As a big Batman fan I do understand what…

God I love when they’re all directly confronted with what inclusion means. If you’re gonna let one religion in, you have to let them all!

Alright, I’ve never posted anything on Jez but I can’t resist this one-

I am honestly so sick of hearing about everyone's paleo diet. You can't eat a slice of bread in front of one of these yutzes without hearing about omg bread is poison. And cheese is poison. And white potatoes are poison. What ever happened to moderation, eating lots of vegetables and maintaining healthy portions?…

Those McDonalds dudes were definitely tripping their face off.

I have stabbed a child before, unwillingly and unwittingly.

Drugs are a helluva drug.

This is like, the ur-example of what "privilege" actually is and I will draw on it forevermore.

Totally. I have two kids. We were/are looking to adopt a third. My mental health was questioned because I was sad after two miscarriages. I was told they would have to investigate to make sure they could trust me with a child. But here this guy was allowed to adopt two and he doesn't even want them.

I hope this results in more attention on the gray market for children. Rehoming is common and tragic.

Back when I was young and stupid (well, younger, and stupider) I got my first bartending job at a nice Spanish restaurant. I had taken a little bartending class and was pretty good at the dozen or so drinks that 90% of patrons ordered. One day, an elderly gentleman sat at the bar and requested, with a rough,…

Hi, I just had post this reply so you could see it in your notifications. It appears some asshole has hacked into your Kinja account and is posting stupid and unnecessary contrarian posts with unnecessary semantics arguments.

I normally don't comment on these (or take part in any online conversation), but I actually had an experience similar to those I am so used to reading about on Behind Closed Ovens. My story happened yesterday (March 1, 2015) so it's recent, and deals with a stupid customer.

I'm back! I told my husband his kosher story was such a hit before, he volunteered one even I had no clue about, so here it is:

"You can watch the full speech here."

I think you miss the point of this feature.

Also:
• ignorant restaurant customer unfamiliar with the legitimate and established cuisine known as tex-mex
• picky customer who won't eat anything outside of their comfort zone
• customer overly-critical of the quality and authenticity of fast-food

That's amazing. I think I would have gotten stuck on "what's an herb"? I mean, obviously I know, but how do you actually explain something so basic. It's like when my toddler asks "what is the sky" I'm like "I don't even know where to start... it's... above us?"

Nothing worse than linguinies that are picked too soon. Grilling them more won't even make them tender.

A brief memo to my fellow humans:
