Comment on Not Poutine, FYI in ~food
mooseknuckle LinkI like this. A lot of places here in the US sell "poutine" that is not true to the original.

Although on the website, the Okie Poutine and Unicorn Poutine are both technically poutines -- I guess that requirement is brown gravy, not white or some gross rainbow mess.

mooseknuckle Link ParentAs someone who keeps the button-down collar unbuttoned, I do it because it make the collar lay further from my neck instead of propping upright and rubbing my neck constantly.As someone who keeps the button-down collar unbuttoned, I do it because it make the collar lay further from my neck instead of propping upright and rubbing my neck constantly.

Comment on Nearly two-thirds of Uber customers don’t tip their drivers in ~transport
mooseknuckle Link ParentThat's how I feel about it too. Expect for a few services (restaurants, bell hops, etc), I think tipping should be for exceptional service, not a given. Uber is no exception and it's better that wayThat's how I feel about it too. Expect for a few services (restaurants, bell hops, etc), I think tipping should be for exceptional service, not a given.

Most of the songs are lyrically dense and talk on recent southern history (specifically Alabama), politics, racism, and most of all, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Reading the article, I understood the author's use of the term Whiteness differently than you. I didn't think of Whiteness as an ideology or a class. I think of whiteness as a descriptive adjective of the physical characteristics of a person. I think the author does a poor job of clarifying this distinction.

It attacks positive views of 'whiteness' as a negative thing. Nothing wrong with being proud of who you are and what you look like, as long as you don't see yourself as superior to others.

Comment on What is, in your opinion, missing on Tildes? in ~tildes

The blog post says
This statement is contradictory. If their goal is actually to reach as many people as possible, they would be doing more to improve the app on multiple platforms to reach a larger audience. By closing down the Android and web apps they are shrinking their potential audience. The post seems insincere to me.
