It’s little comfort but I have so much sympathy for people like you that like things that you’re allergic to. I salute you/cry for you.

Keep in mind gluten intolerance/allergy often manifests itself in abdominal trouble later, not swelling and death at that moment. If you know you’re allergic and will have painful, frequent bowel movements for a few hours, you can consciously make the choice to avoid gluten and then decide to deal with that problem…

And then all these assholes in the comments will be all “I know half my customers aren’t allergic, because I messed up once and they were fine!”

What jezbanned was saying is that people who actually like their steak not fully cooked will order it well done, because they think that’s how meat has to be cooked, not because they’ve compared tastes and like cooked through better. Then, when it doesn’t taste like the steaks their brother made on the grill that one…

While it’s possible, it’s no more of an issue than the courts who order breathalyzers on cars.

Answer - disposable mouth guards, 2-3 give when you rent the car (from the machine obviously).

If the teacher is going to make it their responsibility to take food from children, then it is their responsibility to have other food or spare change to get it.

How are you defining “age appropriate” and “overly sexualized”? Clearly you have an image set in your head of what that entails - I never said either of those things at any point. The only people turning these children into sexualized objects are the people telling them that what they’re wearing is inherently sexual…

I didn’t talk about your opinion, I talked about your views of other opinions, namely “Either we think these things are too sexualized for our daughters or we don’t.”

It’s a reasonable point to question “why do we sell girls on these clothes almost exclusively and then shame them when they wear them?” Either you think it’s too revealing for a young girl, in which case you think the stores should sell more options, or you think it isn’t, in which case you think the schools should…

This has been an ongoing battle for years - in many places, the only things they sell are those booty shorts even for young girls. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephanie-gies… I picked the response because it does more research than the initial post. The woman scoured Target and the only long shorts she could…

I’m not sure I can believe that you actually have serious experience with children if you think “just go shop in the boy’s section!” is an acceptable and practical solution to “dress codes specifically target the clothes that the vast majority of young girls are being sold.”

I feel like the difference is that the “is this a romantic match?” thought process happens in your head in person. You meet someone, try to suss out if they’re worth going after, and then do it if it’s the case. With OKC, you have to make yourself vulnerable and show that you’re interested in dating before you can…

Wow you just reminded me that my DM in college had his two separate lives too. We ran into him once with his med school friends and he made some generic “these are my friends from ~~~a club~~~” introduction and explained that he didn’t want them knowing that he plays tabletop RPGs. o_o

Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. :( When I was in college, I joined my school’s anime club. There were two kinds of people there - the people like my boyfriend, who played football in high school, likes beer, and also enjoys a good anime/video game, and the people like my first two friends, who had to…

I’m really curious where you are that you can’t get Ommegang! I lived in the middle of Northern Indiana with cornfields all around my town and I could find them.

That’s as fair as saying “You’re forcing your views on me by making me be tolerant of you!”

Pleasantly telling everyone they should adhere to your definitions of shifting cultural terms is still telling everyone they should adhere to your definitions of shifting cultural terms.

Oh, you’re one of those people that can’t understand that English is a living language. As someone who actually studied the language, I can’t be quite as nonchalant as you are, sorry. It’s too infuriating to watch people tell everyone else that their opinion is fact and everyone else should use the language the way…

“Nerd” and “geek” have constantly shifting definitions. The Wikihow article is one version of those definitions. You can look at the discussion page for that article, not even another site, to find various disagreements on those definitions, including the argument that they’re the same thing.
