What is a dish whose component parts you all like individually, but put together as a dish you think is nasty?

Jump

  • I'm your evil twin in regard to raisins. I like them in savory dishes and salads, but can't stand them in desserts and baked goods.

    • Twitch bans turning butts and boobs into green screens

    Jump

  • I DO use Twitch and I don't know what they're talking about.

    • Parent's Bitter Coffee

    Jump

  • Helping with maintenance tasks like cleaning the grinder is a good idea, but I wouldn't count on changing your parents' preferences. If you don't enjoy their preferred roast/ratio, just bring some of your own beans and make a separate pot for yourself when you visit. I had a similar situation with my in-laws and that is our solution. I bring my coffee when I visit them and they bring theirs when they visit us and we're all happy.

    • What does this movie quote mean "the low company"

    Jump

  • "Low" in this clip is describing social classes and "company" here just means the people someone associates with. He is worried that "polite society" will shun his family because of what he did and they will be forced to associate with people who would be considered lower class, like criminals, to survive.

    • What is the most memorable/strange targeted AD you've gotten online?

    Jump

  • American football fans probably remember the crazy wildcard playoff game between the Colts and Chiefs during the 2013 season's playoffs. The Chiefs built up a big lead, but Andrew Luck led the Colts to an insane comeback victory.

    I am a Chiefs fan. At the time, the Chiefs had not won a playoff game since 1993. After a devastating 2012 season, the team cleaned house and brought in a new regime, led by Andy Reid. It worked well and the Chiefs had one of the biggest record improvements year-to-year in NFL history. My optimism was at an all time high. This was the year the playoff curse would end.

    I spent the week leading up to the game just absorbed in the hype, reading, listening, and watching every bit of analysis I could find.

    When the game finally ended, I was absolutely devastated. It's probably the hardest I've ever taken a loss as a fan.

    ...and then, I started getting targeted ads for Colts merch, including a cardboard Andrew Luck mask (which was just a cutout of his face with the eyes cut out stuck to a popsicle stick.) Everywhere I went on the internet, I was haunted by a grinning, eyeless, Andrew Luck reminding me that the Chiefs would never win a playoff game. This went on for several weeks.

    • whats the strangest media (books/comics/tv/movies,etc) that is connected/part of another universe?

    Jump

  • Richard Belzer played the character John Munch first in Homicide: Life on the Street and then in Law and Order: SVU. Through various crossovers and cameos, the character John Munch has appeared in 10 television shows, from Arrested Development to the X-Files.

    To add to that, Homicide had a crossover episode with a show called St. Elsewhere. St. Elsewhere's series finale implied that the entire series had been a fantasy taking place in the mind of a boy with autism named Tommy Westphall.

    So with all that in mind, we can extrapolate that...

    St. Elsewhere

    Homicide

    Every version of Law and Order

    The Wire

    Arrested Development

    Sesame Street

    The X-Files

    American Dad

    ...plus more all take place in the same universe and that universe is contained in a neurodivergent boy's head.
