Also we should have human operators again. If you want to scam call someone you should have to explain it to someone else on the phone every time you do it and ask to be connected.

When I was 4, I fell through a weird gap in the stair railing into the large pan of turkey drippings. It took my mom over a week to get all the grease out of my hair.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

A lot of recipes lie because it takes a home cook making an unfamiliar recipe longer than it takes a professional cook or recipe tester. Another lie is excluding the prep time: the timer starts when you start recipe step 1, not when you start dicing the one cup of diced onion in the ingredient list.

It’s profoundly amazing to me how these writers could get around so much problematic baggage by just including a paragraph that says something like, “of course this has economic, emotional, and physical stakes for mothers…”

That was my first thought as well. The book just hit its 25th anniversary, for fuck's sake. We're well beyond the Bowling Alone era and deep into the Terrordome.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.
