This is a great way to get kicked out of a cooking competition

Maybe 5 barely-cooked noodles?

Good point. If that is the case, my back pain and I would like to have a word with the designer. 😠

I keep hearing about this. Where can I find more info?

Not exactly. There was a nice lady at the bus stop I was having a normal conversation with, and after 10 or 15 minutes she suddenly started talking angrily about how "blacks" are "lazy" and always on the news for doing something.

I was speechless, so she turned to me and asked, "do you like the blacks?" I slowly nodded my head, it was all I could do, I was so shocked. Then she goes "oh, okay," and just drops the subject. Now I'm shocked for a second time at how damn polite this woman is about such a hateful belief.

Later on, the bus comes, and we get on. For context, the driver is a black man, and there are a few other people on the bus, none of them white. She has a very friendly conversation with the driver, and a one point she turns to me, and she tries to tell me he's one of the good "blacks," except instead of "blacks" she makes a vague gesture with her hand and adds, "like I was telling you about."

All this to say, I was too baffled to call her an idiot. Sorry for going way off topic, I've just been stuck on that weird interaction all day. I mean, I've met racist people before, but I've never been treated so much like one of the "in group" that agrees with them, especially after saying that I don't. For that matter, I've never been politely asked, "Do you like the blacks?" before. Ugh, sorry. Just a weird day.

Cool, thanks! I was taught the complete opposite, this is a much better reflection of how the language is actually used, and that's what matters :)

See: universities claiming religious exemptions to Title IX (so they can expel students explicitly for being pregnant, LGBT+, etc etc)

Fair point. I'm curious, do you know of anywhere this has happened/is happening?

They might be a little stale, but it's all good

non-boneless meat has left the chat

Just kidding, but yeah that kinda makes sense. When I was a kid I would always try to eat cake toppings because I didn't know if they were plastic or not. I can see how kinder eggs could be problematic.

Tbf, they never said their wife left them. Still, funny meme

If you go by what my high school teachers taught me, grammatically the phrase should 'technically' be "start over the game," but nobody speaks like that.

I say this because there are plenty of grammar "rules" that nobody follows that are still taught in schools. I don't know if ESL students learn them too, but if they do it's gotta be hella confusing

Welp, let's hope you're never in that situation /j (jokes aside, of course, I do hope you're never in that situation)

I don't see the connection here.. still, that's pretty neat, good for you

What will really bake your noodle

I like that. Can I use that? (It would really bake my noodle.)

Alright, thanks. What I'm wondering is why you believe this is the average person's idea of a mass shooting. Is this based on your gut feeling, or is there any kind of evidence you can point me toward? Like I said, it just doesn't match my personal experience, that's the only reason I ask.
