No she fucking hasn’t. Most folks here in Arkansas do not have fond memories of her family at all, father and brother especially, and will not be voting for the boot-kissing ass.

I say all this knowing a good portion of us will vote for her of course, but I’m holding out hope that we won’t. Tom Cotton’s continued…

“Stovetop is my go-to stuffing - because it’s quick, easy and idiot proof. I’m a terrible cook, I don’t like cooking, and after a long hard day at work I want my food FAST AND EASY - just boil the water and throw it in - DONE!”

The fact that you can type this without cringing through every syllable is probably why you…

No way. I did not realize it before this morning, but this is a hill I would choose to die on.

The only thing worse than stuffing out of its zone, are the few people who try to make dressing with Jiffy cornbread. Get that sweet shit out of here and make your cornbread like a normal person.

A hundred percent this, even though I do like pork chops and stuffing.

Cornbread dressing is a staple on Thanksgiving and Christmas across most of the South, but also can be brought to potlucks, church dinners, and other events. It’s so ubiquitous around here, that I was in my late teens to early twenties before I realized stuffing was something else, and didn’t necessarily involve…

Why, it’s the very spirit of Christmas itself, personified!

“Now watch people attack me instead of employers who refuse to pay their workers properly.”

This is my favorite part though. Make a post that is obviously glossing over the short-term impact on the employees in question, and hurting their pocketbooks in lieu of the employers it ought to. Then claim that people will…

It helps if you don’t care about their lives in the short term, I think.

Hey, if you decide to stop tipping to help those poor servers, make sure you tell them why. I think they’d really appreciate hearing, “I’m not tipping you so I can affect change in the place you work, by potentially hurting your boss. I just wanted you to know that I’m stiffing you for your own good.”

I’m all for this,…

I would not say unreadable trash exactly. But I would say “books I did not finish past the third one and will never attempt to reread again”. And I did genuinely like the plot and character, but his writing style is infuriatingly bad IMO.

I’ve worked in universities for over two decades now, 15 of those years in a library (professional cataloger). Graduated from grad school in the last couple years. I’m not blowing smoke, I’m telling you what we see from daily here. For the most part, non-lit students take two courses that they barely pay attention to…

Seen a few replies in this that have struck me as a bit odd, replying to you Adrasta although they’re not all yours.

I see people think that college is there to broaden your reading horizons through literature, and I don’t know if any of you have been in college in the last decade, but that’s not really a thing. You…

Milk is fucking great, and I suggest you admit it unless you want to join the bodies in my freezer :)

Horizon Zero Dawn. Probably doesn’t matter now, but the header says Horizon Zero Down here.

Which is funny, kind of makes it sound like a car sales pitch :)

Some of yall were not raised in the South and it shows here. I was raised more in the “buffer zone” part of Louisiana, and sadly knew these terms from history by my teens. I have never heard anyone say them.

Hexadecaroon. No joke, it was a thing.

Although really the classification depends on where you were located more than anything. As you cross into the Caribbean you’ll find more and more terms than you would in the Deep South and Acadia (Cajun country).

If you wondered, yes it’s true. I am both a barbarian and full time librarian haha.

No problem at all man. Internet is not always the best method of communication, but all is cool.

Danke on the name, I was kinda surprised it wasn’t taken.

“and if you’re not interested in discussing the foundations for an opinion - yours - would rather just offer unexplained conclusions”

Come on man, I didn’t do that. I didn’t offer any real opinions or conclusions here, unless you mean me liking and compartmentalizing both expressions. So let’s just both be the cool…
