God, what a shame. That's like a whole different world, and she didn't get to see any of it.

Chefs at better spots straight up get mad about that. When you go straight for the salt after being served something somebody seasoned carefully, it's pretty disrespectful. There's a reason they don't have salt and pepper on the table at high end spots, chefs hate that.

I really feel for these people, as silly as it sounds. I was a hellaciously picky eater when I was a kid, regularly ruining relationships with other kids' parents after getting weirded out by lasagna with peas in it or whatever at a sleepover (In retrospect that's still pretty fucked up). I don't even know how long…

Where'd you jump in on achewood? Starting from the beginning is really rough, and starting with whatever was up that day is basically impossible. Arcs can get kind of involved (never in that cloying way lesser comics do though) and the writing gets pretty arcane once the guy found his voice. There's a little…

Xkcd is trash, there's no reason to be reading a bunch of non-jokes in a world where achewood exists and runs for fifteen-ish years

My resolution is to try to pare down the backlog while building up the locker.

I truly don't understand the popularity of streamers as a concept. What value was added to that video by having some dudes in the corner?

It's definitely at its strongest when it's doing straight up single effect science fiction like that.

It's basically just tapping into that "I want to kill my neighbor but still be a good guy" vein in the American psyche that the zombie fad has been strip mining for the last ten years

Yeah the purge one was really weak too, it seemed like the writers were bored with it while they were still writing it.

Whatever the one with get shwifty in it can fuck clean off. That might as well have been family guy

It's also an excellent microbrewery in southern Oregon, those are pretty good for diving into

I disagree, and I'd like to point to climate change as an example of why. We've allowed the fact that the sword of fucking Damocles is hanging over every present and future human's neck become a matter of opinion. That's lead us down a road to a president that thinks climate change is a Chinese conspiracy and a head…

It's blatantly obvious why it works, too. If every bar in town bans smoking but one, no matter how principled their reason for doing that is, it's going to be packed to the rafters with smokers. If a bar lets a motorcycle club hang out, it turns into a clubhouse. Allowing nazis doesn't lead to this magic situation…

"Health and safety, innit. Pakis."

I find that brits do really well in the pacific northwest. You've got that accent that makes Americans think you're highly intelligent and highly fuckable (any accent from the region does this outside of possibly Welsh, never seen one of them make it out here so it's hard to say). On top of that, you inherently…

Giving them a platform legitimizes them. By making it one side of a debate, you inherently move the middle to halfway between "the literal ku klux klan" and "not that," thus giving them a shitload of ground that they do not deserve. It's very difficult to have a conversation about how we can help get rid of racism…

"THIS IS WHY TRUMP WON"

Pretty much. You put the goal post at "currently hanging a man while signing a sworn affidavit explaining that this is being done because black people are inherently inferior and for no other reason," and then you just have a lot of fun in the massive gray area you're suddenly working with.

Well put
