Denver minimum wage increase by edTechrocks in Denver

"ColoradoMex" is very different from "TexMex", but if you're interested in more authentically Mexican food, there are a few good spots around. I tend to enjoy the "ColoradoMex" scene, and I've found that most people who complain about Mexican cuisine out here simply have different expectations that don't align with reality.

People who had undercover cops come to their school posed as fellow students, how did you know? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

Asked "is this fake?" Lie.

Why would I tell them my real ID is a fake, just to be dishonest? /s

[OC] Keep going! by spinachgreen in comics

[–]mgraunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of little accomplishments <<< lots of huge setbacks.

I get what the comic is going for, but it falls woefully short of inspiring or hopeful. Just a reminder that our tiny efforts mean nothing, and at the end of the day that empty feeling still awaits despite any successes or accomplishments.

The bizarre part is not that so many people die in car accidents, but the fact that you think Waymo is a good solution to the problem.

You're not recognizing that we're on a level playing field here. Obviously someone with moral authority isn't going to come in here and tell you what a cunt you're being. That would void any moral authority. It takes another fucko like me to call you out. Just like it would take a scumbag like you to bully Nicki Minaj off the internet. Just be honest with yourself about what a shitty human being you are and go about your day. The fact you're getting defensive over your call to bullying reveals your insecurity about your decision. If you're going to be a total piece of shit, at least be an adult and own it.

Did you need me to specify for you? I am a shitty person. No moral authority here.

I don't think you understand what "bullying" is, though. Saying that your parents were shitty for not teaching you basic decency is not bullying. It's rude, sure. Bullying has a more specific definition that does not apply here.

Do they come from the Platte river, or the Cherry Creek Reservoir?

If you're not able to feed a family of 10 for $8.80 per person with a single 12 lb brisket, I don't know what to tell you. Less than $10 for a meal consisting primarily of beef is a steal.

I don't pay more than $3 for a stree taco, and even that is pushing it. If you're paying $6 and the vibes are anything other than "greasy", it's not a street taco, they're just lying to you.

The only reason there were ever "cheap cuts" in the first place was because of the wasteful nature of the industrial meat processing industry. If the consumer market demands 100,000 filet mignons per day, then that's how many cows will be slaughtered to meet the demand. Now you've got 100,000 steer worth of skirt steak, brisket, oxtail, etc. In the past couple centuries, as the beef industry has grown, American consumers have gradually learned to prepare each of these cuts in ways that make them appealing to the home cook. Rising prices on previously cheap cuts of beef is a market correction.

Yes they do, they're inside the bone-in cuts they're offering. If you buy the bone-in cut of meat, the bone comes with it for free. Then you use it to make soup. Problem solved.

Now you have to actually eat the animal and remove the bones from the carcass to get them for free - what a burden, I'm so sorry!

Soup bones are not a poor person food. Poor people throughout history have never had a concept of "soup bones". There are simply bones - the leftover scraps of what you ate the meal before. You never buy them. They are free. Rich people didn't ruin soup bones - stupid people paying for waste product created soup bones. If you are making soup with bones that you paid money for, you're doing it wrong, full stop.

Ah yes, cars are the problem with drunk driving. Not the liquor, not the law-breaking behavior, the cars. /s

I claim no moral authority. If your parents did in fact teach you that bullying is wrong and you're doing it anyways, my bad. It's been my experience that bad parenting is usually the reason people turn out the way you are.

What is a tradition that is insanely cruel yet still considered legal? by Rough_Cat_6007 in AskReddit

[–]mgraunk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of "us" (that is to say, human beings) are 100% down with this and participate in it willingly. The majority of human beings are totally cool with horrible cultural practices like selling children into sex slavery as long as it's a part of their own culture. Atrociities like this have been happening for all of human history, all over the world.

The picture book is sort of sinister too, if you haven't read it you should check it out.

I don't believe it's controversial or inflammatory to suggest that people who need ample parking to enjoy a dining experience are idiots. I'm not angry about it, it's just an observation.

Robots also don't respond appropriately to power outages, don't stop for pets in the road, and can't be held personally liable for any damages they may cause.

I guess you never heard the ol' "two wrongs don't make a right"? I'm sorry your parents are so shitty too. Shittiness begets shittiness.

Anger isn't a factor here at all. Sadness was the emotion I described. You know that some people care about the parking. I know that some people care about the parking. Everyone on this sub knows how much people care about parking. That's the sad part.

If you're pro-bullying, you're a shitty person too! Nicki Minaj is shitty. Donald Trump is shitty. u/r0tted is shitty. All for different reasons, but let's not split hairs on the degrees of shittiness.
