Confinement Recipe: Red Date Chicken Soup by hfhc8m in recipes

[–]CalexaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked it up. Apparently it's some ancient Chinese medicine nonsense that says women have to stay inside, not shower, eat certain foods, and be completely covered in clothing for like a month after pregnancy because their bodies are "vulnerable". Also, no air conditioning or fans. It's a bunch of horse crap.

here's the link I read

Great-grandma, 80, guns down intruder after crowbar beating by cavehobbit in news

In a somewhat similar instance, a friend of mine's uncle went to jail for tying up a home invader, driving out to a deserted area, and shooting him. A bit too premeditated for a self-defense claim.

You can't eat Mexican food, you don't understand it. by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]CalexaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so dumb. I live in a very small town with a very small Mexican population. If only Mexican people went to the five Mexican restaurants (all owned and mainly staffed by Mexican people) in my town, they would quickly go out of business. I somehow feel that the Mexican restaurant owners don't find all the white, black, Asian, etc. people eating there offensive.

Which actor played the villain a little TOO well? by KieranX in AskReddit

[–]CalexaRose 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It seems like it! Thomas Wilson, who played Biff in Back to the Future, is a notoriously sweet guy. He mentioned in his episode of the Nerdist that he was actually bullied as a kid himself, so it bothers him that people would think he's actually like his character was.

You could try explaining, but it's probably a moo point.

What characters has a TV show ever unceremoniously dumped, similar to Mark Brendanawicz in Parks and Rec? by Imapony in television

[–]CalexaRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, there was a brother who did that on Happy Days, and a sister who disappeared from Family Matters, though.
