As a construction worker I run into this sort of thing constantly. It’s somewhat justified since washing some types of junk off of your hands can clog sinks and there are people who simply do not know how to use a toilet properly. But it sucks for those of us who know how to use plumbing and have no urge smear feces…

I can easily see how this happened. The drivers are random dark and scary people while the employees are mostly well heeled white-collar lighter skinned office workers. Why, if you put them in the same bathroom it’ll be a sexual assault free for all!

One thing I’ll never be able to understand is this country’s unwavering ability to complicate using a toilet. It’s a chair for pee and poo; it shouldn’t be this difficult. 

Fuck Harvard to hell. Their endowment interest alone is so large that they could pay the tuition and salary of every student and professor and still make money with not another cent donated.

I agree. A workable kinda-solution is to have the server ask you if you want ketchup. I sometimes get a potato, egg, and cheese taquito at Whataburger and they always ask me if I need picante. If I say yes, they ask me if I want one or two.

Speaking of disappointing candy, one of the great disappointments of my bookish childhood was getting to taste Turkish delight. I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and thought that it must be the most amazing thing ever. But its not, stale flavorless gelatin with nut in it is not something any self respecting…

I’m amazed at how Sookie & co. got anything prepared in that kitchen, given how cluttered every available surface is!

This felt so accurate to me because there are a whole bunch of businesses where the Chinese restaurant moved in and didn't want to spend money changing signage and other things. Very endearing!!

I still covet one.

I would like some Roast Beast, please. 

I always wanted to try to maple sugar on the snow thing. Also the pig’s tail, but when I saw a pig’s tail at the grocery store, it looked so gross, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. (I told myself it was winter and too cold for grilling.)

I think I will always remain slightly crestfallen that I’ll never be able to suck an entire glazed ham off the bone in one bite, the way Tom from Tom & Jerry cartoons does. I don’t even really like big ol’ chunks of real-life ham that much (it’s good in sandwiches, or diced in omelettes, but a little salty as an…

I second Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Farmer Boy—the act of rising at five am almost sounded reasonable if you got pie for breakfast.

My list:

Not fictional, but when I read Game of Thrones, I had the inexplicable desire to eat all of my food out of trenchers.

Everyone’s first thought are those First Night Feast at Hogwarts? Yes? I don’t even know what I was looking at in some of those scenes, but - sparkly food. You know damn well that sparkly food has. to .rock!

Can we say that no reporter, male or female, ever fucked to get something they wanted?

This is a quite a weight of identity and history to be placed on an 11 year old girl’s shoulders. Sometimes a girl just wants to take flight without any of the baggage. The line up gives me hope that someday no little human of color has to be under this kind of pressure and they can just be. Hopefully the rest of…

So when you die I can just make up shit about your failings as a whatever you are?

Not sure where the OP is going, but I don’t think anyone is objecting to the scene because it portrays a woman having a sexual side.  No one is mad because they expected Scruggs to be “sexless” and she was portrayed as being a person interested in sex.  They are objecting because the specific sexual transaction at…
