Jin is the head of his clan, an aristocratic warrior who never wanted for anything in his life. Why is he so eager to squeeze every last resource from the people he’s supposed to be protecting? Life was hard before the Mongols arrived, and now villages and farms are burning. Those supplies would be much more…

I for one welcome our new Nunchaku-wielding Bear Overlords

If people would just wear their fucking mask, and stop being babies about it, we could all get back to a normalish reality sooner. 

I’d like to say he, like many, got an awakening in 2016, or that he felt there was a difference between the VP nominee’s daughter and between the press secretary of an administration, but he probably just got too old and fed up (especially since DWTS has been much less of a cash cow in recent years). 

This personally wounds me because like 10 years ago I had an acrimonious falling-out with a friend while she was borrowing my single platinum GameCube controller that matched my platinum GameCube. (I was left with only a WaveBird.) Now I wanna sell the otherwise complete, minty system on eBay and it’s missing its…

I’ve gotta go with this little beauty here:

Tom is actually a really great host—he’s congenial, funny, and very quick-witted. He’s the only reason I watched the show for as long as I did, apart from the skimpy outfits on the sexy long-legged dancers (I’m a leg man and I do not apologize for it).

I don’t disagree with the fact that $9 for jelly toast is ridic, but your calculation doesn’t include the rent, labor, or insurance costs, though I have no idea what to even break those down to per toast.

Please understand this is an explanation, not an excuse: it’s a very low-margin industry, especially when you are making very expensive ingredients, like buckets of low-sugar fruit preserves with a short shelf life that you only use up a big spoonful at a time The not-shitty way to manage this is to have a business…

I read that they were storing the jam improperly which contributed to the mold. They put the jam in tall plastic tubs (cambros) instead of shallow hotel pans in an ice bath as they should have. The plastic retains the heat and prevents the product from cooling and creates a perfect lil home for mold to grow. That much…

She’s not profitable simply on the back of $9 slices of toast?

I’m not a food inspector, but I have worked in several restaurants in my life.

The kindest explanation for the moldy jam is that they were trying to make low-sugar jams and not paying attention to the fact that sugar is a preservative, and without a significant portion of sugar, jam goes bad a lot faster than one might otherwise expect.

Philanthropy is nowhere near as useful as properly-utilized taxes because nothing they could set up would have the ubiquity and access of the government. “Just give the money away” winds up being a monumental and expensive task to organize and execute when you’re talking about huge sums of money, hundreds of millions…

Oh, believe me, there’s LOTS.

“It wasn’t just, like, for fun. Initially in the soul-swapping scene Velma and Daphne couldn’t seem to get their souls back together in the woods. And so the way they found was to kiss and the souls went back into proper alignment.”

Well, that makes PERFECT sense, I’ve always said that most problems can be solved by…

Anand Ghiridharadas is a great read on why philanthropy is not only a drop in the bucket, it provides cover for rich people who often then turn around and use their economic power to support politicians and policies that make them richer at the expense of the rest of society.
