- Comment on How do left-leaning—or not even left-leaning, but pro-choice, pro-life people who don’t care about fornication—who are also Catholics and Christians justify their religion? 2 weeks ago:
Granted, I’m not really who you’re asking, but:
Most of us got our religion before our politics, and seek to square our political positions with our ethical framework, not the other way around.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 2 weeks ago:
It varies a lot by school. My highschool was okay, but I still preferred to pack a lunch from home. My kids’ elementary school found is awful and if I don’t pack lunches for them they just won’t eat.

Depends on whether they’re a famous athlete.
- Comment on Is giving only formula long term "healthy" for a baby? 2 weeks ago:
Formula is a lot better than it was a few decades ago. While breast is best for a variety of reasons (immunity support and bonding foremost) if for any reason you can’t, formula is perfectly fine, even if it’s only formula, and there’s not going to be any long-term problems because of it.

I mean, they’re dangerous enough to be banned pretty much everywhere.

Butter knife and fingers in casual situations, fork in semi- and formal situations.

Because (public) education isn’t valued and we insist on the idiotic practice of funding schools primarily through local property taxes.

you’re speaking my love language
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Avcados need salt and acid to be good. Next time try in a salad with a sharp dressing; or just cubed with lime juice, chili powder, and salt. It’s amazing added to a bowl (but not the pot!) of chicken soup.
- Comment on YSK Trading Card Game sleeves and binders can be used for some photocards. Usually you can protect many more photocards for the same price 5 weeks ago:
Should I know what a “photocard” is?

those who truly value great service tend to tip more than average, and everyone else adjusts upward to match them
That is to say, there are a few people who we can clearly recognize as acting more thoughtful, respectful, and considerate and we ape them in hope of gaining some of the same social status, resetting the social norm over time.
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 5 weeks ago:
I doubt gas stations will make very appealing AirBnBs

I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying it’s so.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 5 weeks ago:
