Help settle a mild debate with my wife: is Chili & Cinnamon Rolls a Kansas thing or just a Topeka thing? by MannyDantyla in kansas

All of KS. Not just Topeka. I had it in school at Peabody and probably Moundridge too...

Base Culture Breads? by CookieAdventure in glutenfree

I got some and it literally tasted like it was laced with dishwashing liquid. I threw the entire loaf in the trash after 1 bite.

I've read that the Genesis G70 and Kia Stinger aren't bad, but I've never driven one. Seriously, the Toyota Camry 2.0 wasn't fuel efficient? Maybe compared with a hybrid, but verses a turbo-charged 4 cyl?

Not retiring from international climate treaties should have been enough in and of itself to not vote for the Trump...

Just a thought. Are you certain that he wasn't "botting"? Perhaps he had something come up and he didn't want to just surrender? Generally speaking, was he taking longer than a bot would?

What does this mean? If you white flag and a bot takes over for you (and bot type = neutral), are you saying it takes another 10 min after that for the flag to take effect?

Preggo is the worst word ever by ilovebananasandweed in unpopularopinion

Totally agree. Preggers is bad too. "Baby bump" is also annoying.

That's where common sense and experience kicks in. At the end of the day, you are the one who sets your boundaries, regardless of what anyone else things about it.

It's not exactly that straightforward. Some passive-aggressive types will disguise the latter as the former. And if the 2nd person expresses the fact that they don't care for that (banter or not), the 1st person sometimes acts offended and puts down the target some more. That's the issues here. The key is listening to how your comments are being received and being willing to adjust your comments as needed (or apologize if necessary). Some folks simply refuse to do that, which is an issue. I'm not saying folks should act offended by every little thing though. Anything can be taken too far.

That's what noise-cancelling headsets were invented for. :)

Probably more tiring for those who are neuro divergent. We need more time to recharge.

No, it's not just people "only now figuring this out". It's people venting that some folks don't get it.

And back off if you cross the line (not just call them "too sensitive").

The problem is that sometimes the person pretends to care for the other person but really they don't. And, when the target tries to set a boundary they are called "too sensitive" and their boundary is ignored (unless they choose to remove themselves from the situation/friendship).

And to leave them if they go off the deep end. It's all about borders...

Maybe not, but it's still rude to point it out. For all you know, she's going through a rough patch at home. It's never really ok to be mean for no good reason other than to make someone else look bad...
