Yes, no one in the US or Canada has any self control. We are all but humanoid Hoovers, devouring liquid sugar and cheeseburgers with abandon. No one has ever only had one of anything here. It’s biologically impossible because we’re wired differently than people literally anywhere outside North America.

Most people don’t have the time or money for a lawyer to take landlords to court over it. Pursuing a case takes money that most people don’t have, because if you do have enough to cover legal fees just hanging around, you’re less likely to run into housing discrimination period.

It’s most likely that they’re using prebottled, but they could be making it with too much sugar. Some people are die hard fans of the Karo-based supersweet mixture, but at every single restaurant I’ve worked at, we NEVER use Karo and we opt to go with the lower side of sweetness — people can always opt to add more…

Errrr....not really. I grew up in Alabama, and everyone’s mama’s sweet tea and cornbread recipes are THE only ones. So we’re likely to disagree here. We made it in mason jars on the porch in the summer, you can only put so much sugar in before you wind up with sludge at the bottom. It was definitely sweet, but most…

Chow chows were on there, German shepherds, a few others that were unexpected. I think when you look at the fine print of it, they’re knocking out two birds with one stone by reducing the issue of refusing pets over a certain weight.

I treat myself to one soda like, every few months. It tastes so good but I feel crappy later because of the sugar; better to get one with a meal out, I tend to consume less that way than buying a 20 oz bottle.

Yeah, when you take a sip at a new place it’s like HMMM WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN NOW. It could be way less sweet than you wanted, but more likely it could be syrup. When I worked at this southern style cafe, we put one cup of sugar and a half cup of honey per gallon. It was still quite sweet, but not syrupy, and we…

Yup, I’m a law student and just locked down my apartment, a lot of them had absurd fees for “non-graduate students” since it’s close to like two or three undergrad schools, all of which have graduate and professional programs. One place was ready to give me the professional student discount. I learned 2 things:…

In seriousness, I’ve noticed more places in the last ten years give or take switching to prebottled or mixes for sweet tea, which is worse and the tannins are too strong and it makes my mouth feel weird. But real sweet tea.....yaaaaas.

The best iced is masala chai, no milk and just enough honey to give it those flavor notes. Perfection.

Because all diabetes is caused by diet in every situation, and one glass of sweet tea (which should have less sugar than soda) will turn you into a diabetic and you’ll get pregnant and die.

Sweet tea is amazing and has wayyyyy less sugar than a soda (if its made in-house), even unsweetened is better than most diet sodas. I gave up on most artificial sweeteners, I swear they do not interact well with my system and leave me groggy and grumpy. Water is best if you’re super thirsty, anyway, soda is just…

Usually the organic brands are kind of shitty. What makes that Armani Luminous Silk foundation work are many, many chemicals. And not all chemicals are bad.

I’ve been undergoing the realization that my mom is an anti-GMO nutjob and borderline anti vaxxer. I’m really glad that ‘information’ wasn’t floating around when I was a kid, because so far the people who argue the pro-science side have been right. We can all agree Monsanto is evil, but there’s a huge step between…

Housing discrimination is a real problem, especially with renters, because you can’t exactly prove it unless the landlord comes out and says “no black people”, or whichever group they’re discriminating against — gays, poors, undergrad students, I’ve heard so many *secret* restrictions and some are weirder than others.…

I mean more hours than is acceptable; he and his daughter look comfortable too. You can only expect a kid to hold still for so long when they’re getting their hair done or undone.

Seriously, I know my way around hair, but it would take me HOURS to do that right.

I can French braid my own hair regular, inside out, and fishtail style. What is your darkest desire?

I learned to braid really young and it’s a surprisingly useful skill. But learning on yourself is still different than on someone else, it’s like tying someone else’s tie for them. That said, this book is the braiding bible:

Seriously, this is insanity. This is NOT how the legal system works, those who choose to immediately blame it.
