Sorry, what? There’s no charge.

Wow, you attracted a hipster/neocon/troll! They’re very rare, take good care of that one.

It’s a low-key bitter that complicates flavor. When paired with astringent herbs, it softens the astringency. Paired with savory herbs, it deepens/broadens the flavor, adding dark notes to it that impart a richness of flavor to the dish. It’s often used in stews and soups because it evens out sour notes that sometimes…

No Sexy Pirate Guy? I mean, I guess Brock works...

I just... I really liked Green Lantern as a kid (around Crisis on Infinite Earths—yes, the 80s). I liked him even better as John Stewart on the Justice League cartoon. And frankly, the cosmic stuff on both sides has always been a little silly. But this? Trenchcoat? Energy form? It just smacks of trying way too hard.

Ehrhart, who is the chair of the House committee that funds the state’s universities, feels that sexual assault cases should be handled by law enforcement, not universities.

That’s actually true. They’re entitled to fair inquiry, and equal treatment under policy. Because investigations are essentially assessing events against university policy, and completely separate from any criminal investigation that might happen, there’s also a separate standard of evidence—preponderance of evidence…

Hah! Used to watch Bosom Buddies, hadn’t thought of that show in years.

Hey, I nearly died from overexposure to dihydrogen monoxide when I was a child—maybe we just need to ban it in large quantities? I mean, go to any city, especially coastal cities, and the stuff is just lying around in gigantic pools, lakes of the stuff, practically oceans of it. Clearly dangerous.

Two hundred, huh? Well done.

I like that “basic ingredient of both Prozac and Sarin gas” thing at the end. Things that people fear have fluorine in them! Completely ignoring the fact that both of those things also have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in them, but you don’t see them trying to ban carbonated water.

True. I feel like her presence might have created a problem narratively, because so much of the setup of episodes was “Knope goes overboard and takes Ann with her because Ann has issues saying no”. Donna would have kept Leslie in check more. On the other hand, a moment of Donna staring at the camera and just walking…

I dunno, I kinda liked that Donna had her own life. That she didn’t really need the job or any of them—like in that episode where April couldn’t figure out what kind of dog matched her personality, and it was because she’s a cat. Would I have liked to see more of her? Absolutely. But there would be only so much she…

Okay, serious question: are we really upset that the Major is not being played by a Japanese actress? The character herself is a brain in a cyborg body, and it’s pointed out in the series that we don’t really even know if Kusanagi was originally female or just chose that body. There’s nothing that reads particularly…

I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this—I know it probably won’t go a long way toward countering the negative impression, but this is one (mostly) white person saying I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with such crap. I’m also disgusted with how so many white people are acting, both supporters of Drumpf and Bernie, to the…

Funny, I did this with some Daves in college. There were just too many of them, so they became Little Dave, Big Dave, Medium Dave, Giant Dave (not large or anything, just wore a NY Giants jacket), Yellow Dave (blond), Stoner Dave...

This is exactly the information I was looking for—my biggest beef with Harvest Moon has been its lack of options.

Three cheers for polyamory? Pretty sure that some people called that as the next step after marriage equality... so why not?

There are good reasons to be scared if you’re not a US citizen, though we would surely bear the brunt of the initial damage. The people who are supporting him are our worst, the chunk of our population that is absolutely unthinking and more dangerous because of it. If they are empowered, they could easily destroy the…

Nah, a blowhard is easier to manipulate than an idiot. With an idiot, you’re never sure when he’s going to blow it by doing something stupid; a blowhard is predictable, and all you have to do is frame your suggestion as something that will feed his ego.
