I thought mayor was a partisan position in every US city. If fact, in the US every elected position is effectively a partisan position, even the rare ones that officially aren't.

Took me way too long to get that.

People think the stem is too tough, but it just needs to be cooked right. The trick is to start cooking the stem pieces first, then when they just start to be cooked, add the florets. Exact timing depends on the cooking method, but if done right all of it will be tender and tasty.

If I recall correctly, the follow up was the same person complaining about being painfully constipated for several days.

Yeah, I have to agree; if your plastic cup isn't labeled "coffee", then why are you even bothering to drink a coke?

It's been a while, so I must have exaggerated it in my mind. Three days certainly sounds more plausible.

 

I think what really grabbed people's attention is that he kept refusing to explain why he wanted to do that.

Whatever his reason was, it was such a stupid thing to be memeing about that I felt at home here right away. Edit: this was a while back now, during the first big migration from reddit after the API change protests.

Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to do this. I'm doing random text edit of them all now. I'll go back later and have it edit my top comments to a nice site-ban-worthy message.

Took me a bit to realize, but that's a facepalm gesture.

Yeah, this really depends on what you meant by winning here. Are we actually changing the other person's mind or do they admit we are right, but still believe otherwise? Are people who witness the argument included? Do people continue to agree indefinitely? Does it change reality to match?

Quick! Somebody call Trump's attention to what happened. That petty bastard would ram new investigations through ASAP.
