As I said yesterday, solo dining at a Brazilian Steakhouse is a power move. 

Appetizers are clearly not designed for harmonious sharing, otherwise restaurants would make sure they came with an even number of edible items on the plate.

I came here to say this.

As someone who travels solo for work I wholeheartedly agree. I do hope the stigma changes. Most of the insult comes from the host/hostess, who upon hearing “just me” instinctively points to the bar. No, thanks. I would like a table please. I’m not here to drink my woes away because I’m a sad lonely person by myself. 

I love eating alone. And one of my favorite things about it is reading a good book while I eat. Welcome to the 21st century! There are these wonderful devices such as e-readers, tablets, and phones, all of which allow you to read a book while you eat! They can usually be easily propped up with a salt shaker or some…

I’m confused about the social stigma that dining alone has.

I hate leftovers. Growing up I would not/could not eat them. It was mostly a texture thing, as a lot of the food I grew up eating was overcooked, so then eating the leftovers was extra terrible. Now that I’m paying for the groceries, I do better, but I can only eat chili so many days in a row before Wheat Thins and…

My sister makes 1/3 of our grandma’s lasagna recipe and cooks it in a loaf pan. Genius. She gets great lasagna, and doesn’t have a whole pan’s worth of leftovers. 

The vote today was legitimately the best plausible outcome we could have hoped for going in. Romney’s clearly looked at the Republican caucus, then looked at his own approval numbers in Utah, then looked back at the president and the caucus and said, “You know what, I don’t need any of you. Watch this. And then try to…

Do I like Mitt, or agree with most of his positions? No.

Global pandemics are abjectly terrifying, but especially so with coronavirus, a fast-spreading flu-like virus that originated in Wuhan, China.

If the Hanna-Barbera documentaries of yore have taught me anything, the elephants ARE the vacuums and it is, in fact, their living 

“Birds going batshit, and bats going apeshit.”

We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it.

Ya, that isn’t a solution. An incels problem is not the lack of sex that is a symptom, an incels problem is the profound self-loathing and misplaced anger that drives people away from them. Making them pay for sex wont do anything, it might even make it worse. The only way to help an incel move on is to admit to…

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

Social re-insertion plan after killing your wife with a hammer and then stabbing her?!?!

Chipotle don’t need education - they know full well what their obligations are, they just choose to break them.

Yeah, I always get giddy when I see something like, “I’m new in town and don’t know how to make friends as an adult; high school/college just kinda made that automatic before now and I’m bad at this,” or, “I want to get back together with my ex, even though we made each other’s lives objectively worse,” or, “I’ve…

Been “playing” this for about a month. Feels good to respond to the people who sound like they’re going through similar struggles to what I went through in high school and my 20s and can offer some advice/uplifting words, but sometimes I go through the first 10 requests and I’m just like, “All of these people are in a…
