Betty Crocker is also slightly horrifying: Her current incarnation is actually a composite of 30 different women. Met her eyes in the test kitchen once.

My experience is in the Upper Midwest, and it is essentially the same. Not to mention that there have been a bevy of studies dating back decades that show kids self-segregate in more diverse schools anyway.

My area dabbled with open enrollment amd busing, and the only result was that formerly great public schools became overcrowded, experienced far more incidents of fights, crime, and truancy, had a strapped activities budget due to a massive influx of students whose families couldn’t afford even the basic activity fees,…

The Simpsons actually had a handful of good episodes this season but the episode they put up was...not one of them.

Fuck, William Jackson Harper should have been nominated for the chili pot and the wine tshirt alone.

Can I see it?

Definitely Alfie!

It has some tough competition, but yes it was great. “The Planned Parenthood Show” was excellent (and the final montage hit me in the gut like Free Churro did for you) and while more lighthearted, Bob’s Burgers put up a pretty solid Tina episode.

Definitely not. Out of everyone nominated from GOT, Clarke, Dinklage, Coster-Waldau and Christie are the only ones that should have even been in consideration. The fact that awful finale even drew a fucking writing credit is a travesty.

No, not Utica, no. It’s more of an Albany expression.

Always, always check amenities before buying a day pass (some carriers like Delta no longer have a day pass option as well). Some lounges are super small, have self serve bars with a much more limited selection, have no hot food components, and don’t have changing rooms/ showers. Although I am almost always at a Delta…

It honestly depends on where you work. Serving in fine dining isn’t disposable; it can take over a month to properly train someone and those positions are extremely competitive.

People really miss the point about what servers actually make.

Hell, have you been to Splinter or The Root? They make their money off of performative wokeness.

The unemployment rate in this part of MN is freakishly low. In fact, go out of the cities and you will find rates in the .79 range. I should know: My company has had a chronic shortage of labor for years, and we pay our hourlies better than Amazon. You can get a job at fucking Aldi for almost 20/hr just to stock…

I would call beforehand, but most of them have (cheap) beer and wine. Also, if the "Chuck E Cheese for my birthday" YouTube video is accurate, adults can freely partake.

Not in market research. For research purposes, we always cut it off on 1996. To extend to 2001 is problematic, because those born after 96 have grown up with the Internet and mobile technology as regular features in their lives. 

I didn’t get “worst episode ever” but whatever. A few points:

The second I saw this article, I clicked thinking “they’re all going to fight because the clearly superior snickerdoodle will be first out”.

Welp, considering that Harris’s moment is a little shiftier when she essentially endorsed Biden’s stance as her own the following day, no one wants to hitch their wagon to someone that, until they clarify their policies, seemingly attacked someone for a soundbite instead of genuinely opposing their stance.
