Other people are submitting like "loaf made from cow brain" and you're over here with unobjectionable ice cream
Pfft. After coming in strong with "Americans get shitty food from everywhere" too, you came up with crunchy ice cream.
In this case, I'd bet Grape Nut ice cream in New England is related to Grape Nut pudding, which is another traditional New England thing—a custard with grape nuts. Although I wouldn't discount a Jamaica connection...
See I actually prefer it when I can get it, but I respect it's not for everyone.
I'm thinking strictly cultural here, our terrible regional Mexican food does not count.
Don't forget how much of even the local stuff was driven by the "but our stocks" crowd. Sure, the toxic extroverts were a big factor, but hardly the only one and certainly not the only ones who ought to be sent back to their rooms to think about what they did.
American talking to my fellow Americans. Anemic transit is a real problem. But in the U.S. the articulation of *need* for cars versus *want* for cars (want that's often perfectly defensible) is utterly divorced from reality, or built on top of justifications that required cars in the first place.
Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully.
I'll do this too, especially if they stop after a bunch of cars didn't or it's a really tricky merge.
I know this is a joke, but
This one was actually fine but this should be Bluesky’s motto
Today’s unwanted take:
When walking or biking, if a driver properly yields right-of-way, I give the little thank-you wave.
No, it’s not required, you do you. Yes, everyone should do the bare minimum. But I believe in positive reinforcement and moments of social connection.
"We need to make the people who might profit off this miserable!" Yeah OK not buying it should more than do the job then.
What gets me most is that this came up in the context of a retro game console. That's, like, the definition of something you don't NEED and can just not buy if you're not happy with who profits (the Saudis, in this case.)
Vote with your money on all issues that matter to you!
Hahaha
You joke, but apparently the Cheesecake Factory kitchens are pretty incredible and they make everything but the cheesecake in house.
I don't trust a place with that many menu items at that scale. It's fattening us up for something.
...So is Warsh aware he just called his potential boss a crybaby?
nothing bothers me more than a good setup that isnt spiked, all anyone needed to do here was ask if he thought Donald Trump would summon him if he didnt give the economy an A
To be fair the entire design is to help you flee the Northshore Mall as quickly as possible through any conveyance available, a pretty understandable design decision.
(Seriously, though. Eesh.)
Thorough piece highlighting how age verification laws are just so much messier than the MA House pretends they are.

More importantly it gives other people permission to do the same. Pushing for the world you want doesn't have to be dramatic. It's probably better for other people if it isn't.
That decision has an impact. Not a dramatic one, in isolation, but it has an impact, and more importantly, it's one that has a direct outcome of Less Oil Burned and Less Money Going to Awful People.
One point I make a lot to transit defeatists is that if you hate the oil companies so much (and you should!) then why are you giving them your money if you can avoid it? I mean, sure there are days and situations you can't, but when you can, why would you?
Saw somebody claim that "capitalism isn't a democracy" and while that's true in a political sense, at the same time, it is A) a direct action you can easily take and that will be noticed and B) it's also something under your clear and direct control.
While I was visiting Nathaniel Hawthorne's grave in NE I spotted this other one off on the side that said "I told you you'd be back to see me" and nobody's ever topping that one if they bury ppl there for another 300 years
I am playing for comedic effect, I will admit. Most of New England's "traditional foodways" are just kinda bland or mildly weird but nowhere close to aspic. Canned brown bread is strange, but it's tasty!
I actually really like it! The texture is great. But I also liked grape nuts as a kid
When a car is inconvenient, it's inconvenient in ways that eat money and time in genuinely shocking ways that really aren't acceptable.
Besides, the idea that cars are more convenient is inherently ridiculous and an opinion no sensible person should have past the first time they spend fifteen minutes circling a parking lot or an hour waiting for a tow.
I've been using public transit, in all sorts of contexts and levels of availability, for most of my life. I understand that it has inconveniences and difficulties, but that's not an excuse not to use it, and I'm not wasting my time with people seeking excuses to not use it.
