The problem is that I WAS military, and this is how a properly trained MILITARY force is supposed to respond. Maybe I should have capitalized properly trained instead (and, I'm not attacking you, btw). I just think that nearly anyone properly trained in crowd control should know this shit. It really is absolutely…

Maybe if you phrased it coherently they would.

Really Texas? All that money you save on state income taxes and you couldn't spend $2.50?

I was talking with an army friend of mine who dealt with some pretty big protests a few times in Iraq, some of them even armed. He said they were supposed to de-escalate - walk around and check that people are ok, hand out water, ask people how they're doing, keep their weapons on their body but keep hands off the…

YES. I am so grateful that I got married before Pinterest existed. Everything has to be so twee and adorable now. Granted, my husband and I attend a lot of weddings because we like our friends, and most of them have adorable decorations and ideas. It's just all too much. Too much everything.

Pretty much. I find women that are about to get married suddenly get a very high opinion of themselves. Like "You should be fucking lucky that I invited you to my mediocre wedding with no open bar". Ahahahaha. No thanks, I can think of 100 things better than adding to Bridezilla's ego.

I'm here in the comments to meet and greet all the people who want to tell me that this is "probably fake" or give me lengthy lessons on "how space travel doesn't work that way." I am here for you guys.

Yes... it absolutely works on pearl onions. It's often a "trick" used by restaurant sous chefs.

The one rule that I've learned after I picked up running as a "hobby" is you're never allowed to talk about how running blows or make jokes that you're one blister away from saying screw it and blimping up because you hate it that much. In real life or on the internet someone will show up and rip you a new one about…

What if they have S.C.M.O.D.S.?

The length and excitement of this article scares me. Why is this a thing? If I liked Barbie people would think I'm a bit off...this is not normal , and this is coming from a guy who regularily calls himself Jennifer to people online.

a) WTF! Who buys canned beans when dry beans + slow cooker are so much better? Soak them overnight, then cook them slowly. Refry them after you cook (and eat) them first for a different take. Also: Why no tortillas? Seriously. This can be artisanal food, not just "eating to get by."

Drop the organics, buy store-brand. And stay away from the Tyson Chicken livers. Cheap, but full of antibiotics and other nasty stuff.

Peppers, Mixed – 1.67 lb. – $3.99/lb.

There's no fresh vegetables aside from peppers, and no fruit. It's summer time, veggies and fruit are cheap as hell. For the price of the bread, you could get enough veggies to make a huge pot of soup for the week.

I'd like to see the menu for the week utilizing these ingredients. Myself, I usually have oatmeal with fruit every morning, a turkey sandwich with an apple for lunch, and a fruit shake for dinner . Still not dining at the Ritz, but to me it sounds more appetizing than what I could put together with that list.

Yup. baking your own bread is brain dead easy to do and is a LOT better than that preprocessed loaf there. Everything else is a bad choice. Want beans buy 5X that quantity for the money with buying dried. Plus you can get organic store ground peanut butter that is 800X better than the peanut flavored sugar that is…

I feel like I want to hand him a welcome brochure for future iron deficiency. Get some greens in there at least!

And by, "the road," you mean, "second breakfast"

As designers of back to school furniture you can buy at Staples, Costco and elsewhere, the best deals are not back to school furniture, but the clearance items. At this time of year, they clearance slow moving items to make way for new collections and chairs. These will be better made and last longer than back to…
