So what about people who are intersex? What if you have two X chromosomes and male reproductive organs, or a Y chromosome and a functioning womb? For someone who feels so strongly about something that supposedly means nothing, you don’t seem to have thought this through. It doesn’t matter how small the percentage is…

I’m still floored by Santorum’s response to trans women. Like, has his right wing crazy circled so far around that he’s supportive of trans relationships if they support traditional gender tropes?

You don’t just check a box. You have to be living your life as a woman. That’s basically what being a trans woman means, a trans woman is not a pervy 15 year old (also, aren’t most college freshmen 18+?) trying to get a glimpse into the ladies’ locker room. I don’t think this is a test, and I think the purpose is to…

....but a woman is more than her reproductive organs, right? If you live your life AS A WOMAN, congrats, for all intents and purposes you are a woman. That’s the point of all-women’s colleges. Being trans exclusionary just makes you look like a dated old biddy who thinks too much about other peoples’ bathing suit…

Yeah, I know people think we’re being whinybabies but more than a touch of raw cilantro makes an entire meal taste like soap and smell like stink bugs. They don’t seem to use enough in the rice or corn salsa to have that effect, but it would be too much in the guac. that’s what the other salsas and stuff are for,…

I mean, it’s fast food? It’s supposed to be pedestrian.

Yeah, I would be disappointed if they added raw cilantro or tomatoes, both are things that can ruin a dish.

Unless they had like half a vat I don’t think they’d keep it overnight. Towards closing time they start piling on bigger or smaller amounts depending on what’s left.

it’s lime juice and salt

Their guac is better than anything I can get at a real Mexican restaurant around here. it’s sad, but I’m so glad they don’t overload it with cilantro...cilantro in the rice and corn salsa kinda have that covered.

Yes, I would absolutely love to see trans women (trans people, really, but trans women are the ones that get ripped on most of the time) portrayed accurately and for them to feel safe being public figures besides activists. Comedy comes from life experiences, and trans women have such a unique and varied set of…

As a rule, unless they’ve been cheating or gambled away my friend’s money or something just awful like that, I don’t shit talk my friends’ SOs, because I don’t want it to come back and bite me in the ass if they work it out. But I definitely would ask if their partner was getting help if they were drinking that much,…

Tomatoes especially undergo a huge chemical change when cooked. The taste of cooked vs raw is barely recognizable, IMO.

I’ve always been repulsed by raw tomatoes. When I was probably 6 my mom was trying to make me try new foods, and had put a few slices of raw tomato on a plate. One of the worst meltdowns I can remember ensued. There were so many tears, so much drama and gagging, that my dad had to intervene, like “is a tomato really…

Is it an allergy or a reaction with the nightshades?

Real ketchup is really good, but most of what you can buy at the store or get in a restaurant is way oversugared. Real ketchup is more like a tomato sriracha and sometimes has fish sauce in it.

You might have a reaction to nightshades. It’s not common, and it’s not technically an allergy, but it does happen to some people. Tomatoes seem to be a frequent culprit.

The same reason people try to sneak vegetarians meat in their food.

It’s especially true of onions, just a little factoid.

I would much rather have someone ask me about the dish than just declare “I’m allergic to X!” and wave me off and expect me to know the extent of it. Are you the kind of person who gets pissed because a little flour was used on your fish but who splits (gluteny) chocolate cake for dessert? Because that’s like 80% of…
