Agreed! Also: tomatoes - you're destroying the taste by putting them in the fridge (even if you warm them up later).

Indeed. This doesn't seem like the time Gawker should be advising anybody on how to deal with trolls.

I suppose the could just block all posting of photos and make every tweet require approval by admins before it gets displayed to anyone. That seems to be a really effective way to prevent the less than 1% of negative traffic on your site... *stares sarcastically*

Right? They just say Gentrification over yonder and it becomes a fucking circle jerk of self-righteousness where no real solutions get posed other than the insinuation that the city would be better off without the tech community, which is a laughably ignorant opinion.
