The locals call it “cornhenge”

There was also the related claim that the British pilots ate so many carrots it was turning their skin orange.

I think he’s trying to say there should be more taboo. That there should be a lot more restrictions than just consent.

I’m glad he’s dead.

You’re getting downvoted, but I experienced much of the same. So much misogyny and, looking back on it, toxic masculinity. I vividly remember the bit where they used tape to illustrate “purity” of not having multiple partners.

This would’ve been the late 90s, US Midwest.

ETA: I wouldn’t say it went quite as far as describing women as “submissive cum dumpsters”, but it definitely implied the women don’t enjoy sex and only did it to satisfy their partner.

It’s literally in the sub headline of the linked article

Doctors have long recommended that infants avoid peanut products. But in 2017, experts officially reversed that guidance, and food allergies decreased sharply.

I have no idea where you came up with what you posted.

Amazingly, it was also the kind of thing he could’ve vaporwared away, just by (mostly) following policy. All he had to do was claim (from the beginning) that there are ongoing investigations, agency policy is to not release info about those investigations, and then lie that there are going to be arrests really soon.

Spend the money and get concert earplugs. Not only will it save money (a basic set is only about $30), and fit better, but the event will sound better. Those foam ones are great to protect your ears, but they muffle the sound. Great if you’re around power tools and the like, but terrible if you’re at a concert

Concert earplugs (I have Loops, but there are countless options and each has its fans) lower the volume without significantly changing the sound. You can still hear your favorite songs, and they sound correct.

The version I heard was Recreation rather than Relationships. Find out what they do for fun, whether it’s gardening, concerts, or disc golf.

Permanent DST was enacted, federally, in December 1973. It was so unpopular that it was repealed less than a year later.

Tomatoes, in any form.

I watched it long after the fact, so I already knew about the controversy. I knew that it meant his death.

His death was also a great way to end the series, and the story arc they were in.

I even recognize the artistic merit of showing his death from his own POV.

And yet, somehow it all came together in a way that was very unfulfilling. Maybe it’s just that it’s not the way we’ve ever seen, but it felt very off.

Again, kid logic. Plus, many young parents don’t know (or care) how to properly cook veggies anyway. It’s a choice between canned (and usually salted) veggies, or similarly mushy, over-microwaved fresh/frozen veggies with little seasoning or flavor. It’s not like the green beans are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.

You’re overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.

Naturally there’s a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.

As a practical matter, how does that work if I’ve never been a patient at that hospital and am unconscious? There are a number of hospitals/health systems in my city that I’ve never been to (and others that I haven’t been to in a very long time, so any expirations would have passed). If I were to be transported to one by ambulance, how would they locate any emergency contact?

Or would I simply be at the mercy of the medical practitioners and their best efforts/judgements until I either wake up or die?

I’m in the US, and we can assume that I have my wallet/ID/insurance card/etc on me at the time.

Part of this is exactly why your boss exists. Raise your concerns with them, and get them on your side. They can also (vaguely) let you know if you are alone on it, or if it’s affecting the entire department.

Your boss is also in a much better position to talk to the other guy’s boss, or someone further up the chain. It also removes the emotional component (similar to how even lawyers should not represent themselves in court), and keeps it focused and level.

There are a lot of other good comments in this thread. Bring them to your boss as possible solutions, and let them fight the battle for you. It also shows you have a desire to solve this (rather than just gripe), and gives them options they may not have considered.

Even then it can be dangerous. People move around, and people talk. The people burned can show up again later in so many different ways, in both official and unofficial capacities. I currently work near (different teams, same org) several of my former co-workers, purely by coincidence.

It wouldn’t be a career-ender if I’d screwed them over in the past, but it does make things easier that they have positive experiences with me.

AKA “The Nixon”

Do you have a source on that? It sounds evil enough for IBM, but logistically too problematic to be worthwhile.

The reason why you can (not especially safely) eat takeout pizza that’s been sitting out overnight is because it’s usually loaded with salt. Salt is a preservative, and limits growth of the nasties.

Christians are the only ones that believe in Satan.

No, satanists do not believe in Satan.
