I love wine. I even love red wine. But sometimes I agree with you. The quality and temperature of the wine can make a big difference!

Have you had Moscato Red? Amazing.

I do not like cobblers.

I don't understand why Loki/Tom Hiddleston has so many fangirls.

I dislike everything about zombies. Movies, TV shows, those zombie walks that are increasingly popular. Enough already. 

Lottie&Paul

I like white kitchen appliances. I don't have a problem with black or ss; I just prefer white.

I think the mustache trend is dumb. I mustache you to stop saying stupid shit like that.

I think zombie stuff is stupid. The shows, the movies, all of it. Same with skulls.

Important question. If you don't like cobbler, do you like pie? Because is cobbler not just a mashed up, confused, post-modern pie?

I hate high heels, broccoli, and people who cut their fingernails anywhere other than in their own bathroom, behind a closed door.

I have a weird thing with baked fruit, so really I eat chocolate pie and blueberry pie. Its a thing with me.

It took me forever to type mine out. You beat me. I agree, enough is enough!

Cobbler is gross. Batman is better than the avengers. Give me Christian bale or batman Val Kilmer. ( sorry present day Val Kilmer, you are not batman material).

This is a long list but I agree with all of them.

Also, because it's quiet, if you don't get a flu shot and you don't have a medical reason to abstain, you're an idiot.

If you don't get a flu shot but you're stressed about ebola, you're an idiot who doesn't understand statistics.

Alyssa7012

@Joy2611‌ Haha next time I will specify.

@Cythe‌ whoot!

@LDW176‌ I suppose they are, I do like pie. Maybe it is hot vs. cold? I am not a fan of hot pie unless it is covered in ice cream. And I think the main one I hate is blueberry cobbler, I Love raw blueberries, but hot smushy
blueberry cobbler just tastes off to me.

Oh god, you said Ebola.

My Facebook feed is a clusterfuck of stupid these days.

@Joy2611 two things

1) googling "jiggles gif" at work seems like a bad choice

2) this seems comprehensive https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/18/crumble-cobbler_n_3455487.html

Batman is lame, having money isn't a superpower.

Gravely Christian Bale is weird.

There have been waaaay too many Spiderman movies.

You and me both.  And that's the thing....  Flu (and related complications) is a leading cause of death in the US.  It's *way* more contagious than ebola.  But people are way more stressed about ebola and ignore the flu vaccine, which can help avoid the flu or minimize the seriousness.  It's not guaranteed to work, but it's way better than the alternative.

Science, people.  It's not THAT hard.

LokiTTGP

Ebola and influenza have similar symptoms.  If one should get the influenza shot, then the likelihood of those symptoms being from influenza are greatly reduced.

Well.... According to this, I've been making and eating apple crumbles instead of apple crisps the last month or so. I put oats in the topping so I can justify it as being somewhat healthy. I just ate some for breakfast and it was delicious!

The above is bannable, yet the below is not?

Thy priorities are a tad skewed.

I dislike pie and anything similar. Give me cake and ice cream any day over pie. This is a huge disappointment to DH's family, who all love pie. They make me rice crispy treats at holidays, so I'm not dessert-less.

Also, since we're on superheroes today, I really could do without The Avengers. Give me Spider-Man or Batman.

Fascinating. 

It reminds me of a brunch conversation I had a few weeks ago about the differences between streusel and struedel.  It lasted for a good 20 minutes.  I had no idea they were even two separate words before that...

I would like one brown betty, pleaseandthankyou.

Right now, in the category of "Most Eye-Opening Things I Have Learned on TTGP" it's a tie between how to temp and the fact that streusel and struedel are not the same thing.

If you see a giant mushroom cloud over Canada, don't worry. Just my mind being blown.

Me too. But I blend the oats so that they have a more floury consistency so it doesn't look healthy.

I saw this and wanted inquiry to be here instead. Then I Googled and found this, you learn something new everyday. 

"Either spelling can be used, but many people prefer enquire and enquiry for the general sense of “ask”, and inquire and inquiry for a formal investigation." source

@LokiTTGP, I know, I know. Everyone says it's the best. But I just... I love Tom Hiddleston! Does that make up for it? I just didn't love Avengers. I saw it once, and that was enough for me. I love your siggy gif, I could watch it all day!

oxfordstreet

At risk of jinxing, this is one of the more pleasant and less combative UO threads we've had in awhile. I think President Bartlett yelling at everyone right off the bat set the standard for accountability.

Anyways, back to Loki and cobbler.

Yes. To me that is acceptable.

There have been way too many posts about people hating my team.

Just a reminder. We are awesome.

Everytime I read Brown Betty it's immediately followed by "bam balam"

Wow, that was way harsh. I'm not getting a flu shot because I don't want to. That does not make me an idiot. Assumptions like that does qualify one for idiot status.

It may not make you an idiot, but not getting the flu shot just because you don't want to is highly irresponsible and could put members of the population at risk by your choice.

Anyone considered "high risk" should get their own flu shot and if they do, then someone else who hasn't had the shot and gets a type of flu that was covered in the vaccine are then much less likely to pass it on to those people.

It's more irresponsible for someone who's high risk to not get it than it is for someone who has a good immune system to not get it.

If you are TTC you fall into that category as one who may become pregnant.


-------------------quote box fail
THIS! If my husband comes into contact with someone with the flu he can die. I don't have a choice.

However, as a student currently learning about human development, the flu and any virus is considered a teratogen. Any teratogen can cause permanent damage to a developing embryo or fetus during the most critical time. It's irresponsible if you are TTC to not get a flu shot.
