I don’t understand lawns. Why do people do anything besides mow and sometimes put down seed to maintain them? If the land can’t naturally support a lawn, maybe people shouldn’t put them there, idk. In AZ people put down gravel or wood chips and it looked fine.

East coast kicks ass. We have better cities, better schools, and SEASONS. Oh, and we age better thanks to less smog and sunbathing.

I’m in the camp of “teach it, examine it, move on”. Some professors will give a warning before a class that covers topics like rape or domestic violence, but in history at least, that’s just not done — either learn history completely or not at all. Your mass comm or biology major isn’t required to take classes on…

Interesting — if pissed off Comcast customers trying to get off the call list could do so by being dicks to customer service, we might all walk away happier, because outgoing calls are the WORST and I know most of those dicks have caller ID. When they pick up with an attitude or just start whirling and cussing,…

That’s what my old church did growing up, you could eat for free but if you were a congregant you donated. People would grow too much zucchini, especially, and green beans, so summers had lots of them since what you bring in might be bruised or have a superficial scratch. Squashes are bad about that too because…

Yeah, I did the threesome thing once, I own up to it despite being on opiates at that time in my life. It’s basically every wayward hearted man’s fantasy — he was courting us at the same time, they decided to go exclusive and she got into his phone, his solution to her finding our texts was a three way. It just sort…

Recreational farting. Total dealbreaker.

I’ve seen a couple on mine, and what enrages me is that they’re NOT the right wing douchebags you’d expect. They’re basically really fucking ignorant Christians preaching forgiveness, but they don’t know what he actually did — most of them are under the impression that when he was 14 he touched a 12 year old girl…

Ugh thank you.

Hard to touch someone when you don’t have hands. It would be truly terrible if something were to happen to his.....

I made a very open post requesting that if people on my facebook were going to post “in defense of Josh Duggar” articles, they should just unfriend me first, and to make a long story short, most of these people have no idea what Josh even DID. They don’t know it was his sister, they don’t know it was his sisterS…

One thing about the tiny town in Alabama where I grew up, which I think is the kind of thing only an isolated small town can do, is that they did NOT let food go to waste and calculated it. The church food bank, aka the only food bank, accepted produce but it was usually from peoples’ gardens or the locally-run…

A lot of people think that way. I’m not gonna judge you though, if you don’t check produce for apx how much shelf life it has you’re not planning properly. Bruises and spots can reduce shelf life, but it also doesn’t make them ‘bad’. I’ll buy salvageable produce if I’m looking to make something that can be preserved,…

I had this stuff called ‘snow tofu’ at a vegetarian restaurant in Richmond, it was basically tofu tempura served with this scallion tamari sauce. I still dream about it.

the taste isn’t the problem with okra, it’s the texture.

I think throwing away good food to try and protect the pride of the homeless is one of those devil’s advocate scenarios. People will shun a perfectly sound apple if it has a spot or bruise, that doesn’t mean it’s shitty food, so what’s the problem? “Let’s throw away perfectly good food turned down by the normals so…

Timeless comedy. It’s a dying art.

Same for cable companies — if you’ve had a meltdown over the phone or when your installer arrived, it’s documented. We’ve had racist assholes chase Hispanic technicians off their property with guns assuming they were”illegals”, and I’ve gotten requests for a white technician because people assume they do a better job.…

Asian women are expected to be quiet and demure, but once you break that code you’re the Tiger Woman. It’s not supposed to be as badass as it sounds, but it gets shit done.

Basically. But when you’re off “making coffee”, you’re actually correcting documents that they manipulated to their own advantage, and you can smile when you come back and tell the boys you took care of it by sending them while the coffee was brewing. They’re so used to being catered to, when they get the reports…
