different variety of food service here, but it's never bothered me to have kids place orders. it's pretty cool when they do, actually. if your kids are having a really shy day and not feeling confident or loud enough to order for themselves, i assume you'd help them out. sort of a 'use your best judgment' situation, i…

THIS

the restaurant is liable

they are not just trying to be dickheads

fin.

fuck fuck fuck fucking fuck.

parents, if you do this, you are telling your child that you would rather they were dead than different. and if that's what you mean, you don't deserve to have children at all and you're a shitty excuse for a human being.

Leelah: we are fighting the good fight. i'm so sorry you were pushed…

yesss so much agree
real whole ham and scalloped potatoes and nice fresh green beans almondine. and Almond Nog with bourbon, because i am a yuppie Kitsilano degenerate AND a boozehound.

goddammit ramsay, toasters have settings for a reason. and i don't keep goddamn creme fraiche around as a matter of course.

i won't eat eggs out at a restaurant anymore unless i trust the kitchen. light, fluffy eggs are delicious. rubbery unseasoned egg triggers gag reflex and nausea, i kid you not.

scrambled eggs done properly:
-2 eggs
-splash of milk
-salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne
whisk, dump into medium-hot skillet. mix. once fluffy but…

also tripolyphosphates to make the shrimp retain water so they weigh more when sold.

YES. this and the fact that they bathe conventional shrimp in antibiotics (penicillin-derived, usually) means that i have to avoid the shit out of it. it's difficult explaining to people that while it's not an anaphylactic shellfish allergy, i also cannot eat the product itself without nasty repercussions.

HAHAHAHAHA. no wonder they send me these things with the head removed. ><

as a MECHANIC?

when i looked like even more of a shithead punk i always made a point of tipping REALLY well when we got good service without side-eye. break the stereotype a little.

AAAAGH. this makes no sense to me. i write a schedule for about 20 people. we've got single parents, kids just out of high school, folks going back to school in their late 20s or 30s, folks who also work in film or teach dance, and folks who just plain want a day off sometimes. i haven't had to say no to a proper…

snrk. i take a quick picture a) when there's interesting presentation b) when i'm on assignment from work c) EVERY TIME I EAT RAMEN because it's a running joke at this point and one day i'm going to collage all my hundreds of stupid phone pictures of ramen together for shits and giggles.

oh god these make me fucking bawl like no one's business. why did you have to post that ><

yeah, a hardcore fetish might be odd to deal with, but a dude who's just a little more into it? why the fuck not?

my favourite ever response to "welll, i'm on the rag" was "i'm not afraid of a little blood for glory."

BRB GRINNING LIKE AN IDIOT AND DANCING AROUND MY HOUSE

Ms. Monae, you are fucking stellar.

in a perfect world we'd all be required to SUPPORT ourselves on part-time minimum wage work for six months before being allowed to work anywhere else. no using mom and dad's credit card. no calling in favours from family friends and connections. this is how millions upon millions of people in our first-world countries…

i wear on a plane what i wear everyfuckingwhere else: flat, comfortable boots and layers. because it took me an hour to get to the airport on transit, i'll have to pull various things off going through security, i'm sitting uncomfortably for two to ten hours on an alternately freezing and boiling can in the sky, and…

yeah, i got a big fat email chain going about this at work (guess where i work?! wait, don't). given that we have silly bastards who come in on their lunch breaks wearing suits to try and protest that our animals are abused (despite extensive third-party certification to the contrary and a full blown animal-welfare…

that is very mean. i think the concept of feeding something (particularly something that comes off an animal) to a person and lying to them about it is absolutely revolting.
