Ah it's ball point. I thought you got a fountain. Yeah no one cares about ballpoint pens enough to fake.

Not every gesture or word is a "microaggression".

There is a side of racism that isn't always negative.

If you got a lamy 2000 for 50 bucks, its fake.

Also I don't like Lamy. Better pens out there.

whats a poll?

I think I may get the 6 quart Instant Vortex. Anyone have that one? I see a few reviews where the handle broke off. Other than that it looks good.

Honestly the thing thats holding me back is I want big things in it and I think it won't be cost effective to get one for the stuff I wanna cook in it.

I know I want a few catfish filets at a time, a whole red fish or similar sized fish. All the ones I have seen so far are more deep than wide.

Although their Orange soda, SunBurst or something, is very good IMO. Their grape is not. It has that kids grape medicine taste to me,

And? That doesnt change what I said. She still could have asked at some point for it to be prepared differently. Like before she ordered. Or afterwards, and asked the chef if they could prepare it a certain way. Unless you were eavesdropping on her table the whole time, you could have missed something Also, how long did it take you to order? Because according to your story, she ordered AND received her food before you even ordered

Its also possible she was a regular who got her food prepared a certain way each time. There are so many reasons why it could have been prepared differently. Jumping to racism off the bat is very weird, though Like a victim complex or something

Never been there and most of the dishes had filipno names, so I spent a good 20 minutes or so googling the items to see what they look liked or what they were.

The point is that she may have asked for it prepared that way. Youre really stretching just to try to say someone else is racist for some odd reason Especially over something stupid like this. Youre getting mad because they didnt bring you parts of the fish you didnt want to eat. And its possible you have different chefs who make it a different ways

One: mentioned multiple times I ordered the same thing word for word.
Two: no one sad I was mad.

You should have told them that you wanted the head, fins and tail on the fish when you ordered it. I'm pretty sure that's what that woman did. Sometimes you gotta be specific if you want to get you want.

So, me as a white person should specify that I wanted a dish to be prepared and presented in the same way as someone that was most likely of their culture? How is that not racist?

HEB, which is about the only grocery store we have(they are headquartered here). The only thing they have is two liter bottles of off brand. Amazon Prime Now has it listed but never once has it been in stock. Only place you can find it is the more ghetto gas stations.

It like that anywhere else?

No, you should have specified that you wanted your fish the same way that woman had it.I'm pretty that's the reason why that woman got her fish like that.

Woman ordered "Daing na Bangus" I ordered "Daing na Bangus" granted I may have pronounced it wrong, but I am pretty sure it was the only fish item on the menu and I don't recall anything else spelled close to it.

Molitheus posted...

Maybe they thought you preferred your fish didn't have head, fins and tail because you're white. If you wanted to, you could have made an ass out of yourself and have the waiter send the fish back and have resent to you again like the way that woman had her fish.

So presuming something because of the color of my skin. Wouldn't that be considered racist?

All I'm saying is that you should be giving them the benefit of the doubt because your story comes off as paranoid.

So, as a white person I should always be ready to have my meals come differently than someone of that same culture also ordering it? Weird world you live in.

Yellow posted...

Different chef, different conversation you didn't completely hear, different waiter, different mistakes, you're jumping to the worst conclusion here. Even if they didn't get you what you wanted because they assumed you, as a white man, wanted something else, that's like the least amount of racist you can be.

Don't know if you've ever been a server before but it's not exactly easy to keep track of everything.

As I mentioned in my opening post, I heard what she ordered and ordered the same thing. It was a named dish on their menu.

Yellow posted...

Having worked in food service I can say that only a total idiot would make a customer irate with intentional racism.

So yeah basically it's possible. I also don't see why getting your order wrong is racist.

They didn't get my order wrong. They gave me, a white guy, something different than what was ordered by an Asian person. The Asian woman, who may have been Filipino, got a fish prepared and presented in what was probably a traditional way. But me, the white guy, got it completely different compared to the norm.

I tried a Filipino place last year and I love whole fish dishes. Noticed a woman sitting next to me order one and she got one with head, fins, all that. So I ordered the same thing. What I got was trimmed, no head, tail, etc. I still got the same amount of edible fish, but definitely got a different experience than the Asian woman who ordered 10 minutes before I did.

Thoughts?

I wonder if there's a model that would fit a whole fish. I like crispy fish

I mean all it is is a small convection oven foe a counter top. My problem is the word small. I mostly want on with enough space for a few filets of fish and stuff like that. Anyone have any experience with a counter top convection oven?

I was hoping they'd cross-over with another character since the pairing was kinda meh

What would you consider a better pairing for either one of those two?

Never been a fan. The only premade snack/lite meal things I liked were corndogs or french bread pizzas.

Safety is important folks.

Its kinda crazy the things that kick off like that. Granted, I am pretty sure this is most likely a case where the person might be the only seller for a few years so the price is hella hyper inflated.

A little over 50%. Had to call them to add a rental to my plan since I am tall and can't fit in most rental cars, so might as well make them pay for it if needed.

WELL, while talking to the agent I mentioned how I am working from home now and she said I can move my policy to a recreationally car instead of a commuting and when it was all said and done my monthly bill is now less than half what it was.

So that was nice.

Peanuts in general are crap. But if you want a coated nut I find the wasabi soy almonds from blue diamond to be pretty good.

it's because it dipped below freezing last night, so all the bugs in the city are now in 'go inside' mode

Okay then you need to seal your place up. If bugs are getting in then your insulation has leaks and it's most likely increasing your heating and cooling costs.

Sounds like you either need to find the rotting food somewhere in your home or flush out sinks you hardly use.

I have multiple bathrooms in my place and we only use one of them, if we forget to flush out the sinks we often get fruit flies/gnats in them.

Who the fuck eats burgers without cheese?

Honestly that's one of the things I don't like about whataburger. Almost all their burgers are cheese less and you have to pay .49 per slice to add it.

Makes you wonder where those Missile defenses are if a missile can fly over Japan like that.

My wife is crazy about it and I don't know why. Her family all have good teeth, but she will brush her teeth after eating anything. She even carries a toothbrush and tooth paste with her at all times.

At one of my old jobs you could donate PTO to other employees if you felt they needed it more

My company only does that if the person requests it due to emergency. Which it seems like my company is very good about that. A dude's wife got cancer and the company all donated enough for him to spend about the last 7 months with his wife.

Sooooo whats stopping you from using your three weeks? There are way more than three weeks left in the year.

I am the type that feels guilty for taking time off.

captpackrat posted...

Take off 1 hour early every day. Or come in 1 hour late every day.

Company doesn't allow partial days. Which honestly I don't understand.

I tried to take more time off this year but I still have 3 weeks to use up before end of year...

I wish my company paid out PTO.
