Seems like a lot of these white supremacists who email you are obsessed with constipation. Like, there’s one or two in here every Friday almost since I started reading your work. I know that’s not the point here, but it strikes me as peculiar.

Here’s what I’m working on (man, I have so far to go...):

If they’re around, an un-toasted wheat bagel with cream cheese is great in the afternoon.

My guess is that we think semicolons are fancy because we don’t see them often. Since the majority of us don’t use complicated lists or write long periodic sentences, we don’t have as much use for them. I agree with you on the point they are often better for the reader’s experience, provided we use them correctly when…

I’ve faced the same fate. I’d usually have a Caffeine-Free Coke with my weekly local burger takeout (they don’t sell the caffeine-free stuff at the burger joint; I kept it at home), but I’ve lately had to settle for root beer or a clear soda. I don’t have consistent issues with caffeine, but it’s occasionally…

I’m a guy that never worked out regularly and tends toward having less muscle/strength naturally. I’d say I tend toward being skinny but my belly and sides would say otherwise (or would have before I started working out better ways to eat that work for my body). I’ve been doing some lifting and body weight exercises…

Shout Factory has a 24 hour Twitch stream as well. MST3K has their own as well, I believe.

I haven’t bought a new phone since my carrier did subsidized upgrades. I’m thinking about jumping to the 256k SE because there’s a WalMart deal for it that might work for me...

I’ve always read the website as a way of finding what might be good or useful in traditional concepts of masculinity. It’s not the greatest thing in the world but it’s a resource.

Thanks!

I want to do this soon. Two questions:

The consistent treatment clause is a revealing one. When someone has a work injury, Amazon doesn’t seem to accommodate them either. In fact, they seem to act in near- or actual bad faith by forcing people to litigate in order to receive workers’ compensation or equivalent benefits (them or their TPA/Insurers; I don’t…

Maybe some of these myths persist because it wasn’t excess fat that was the issue in decades past, but deconditioning. “Flabby” doesn’t imply “fat” so much as it seems to mean loose skin—like there’s a thinner layer of fat under the skin but no structure for it, no muscle. I suspect that’s why “toning” was a thing. I…

I’m not in favor of these, but for the sake of discussion, I’ll introduce them. Here are some reasons some employers are less receptive to discussion about burnout and mental health, in no particular order:

I find it amazing that humans figured out how to process olives in the first place, given what I’ve heard about the process. That’s a more interesting question to me than “do you like this thing that I don’t?”

Oh...I wasn’t saying that to you. I was saying it to Burger King. Like “Hey, your char-broiled strategy could be good if you’d let it.”

Oh, the glory of franchising!

I grew up in a small city (one WalMart, no mall, two Taco Bells) about an hour north of Santa Barbara on the coast. I can only speak of my own limited experience since I rarely left town until college. I don’t remember anyone hating on BK. I graduated HS in the early oughts and left for good in ‘09, so it’s been a…

Good point. This might be BK’s CM Punk moment. I still think it’s fun, though.

The charbroiled thing is actually good! Just let it be good!
