The recipe's available online, along with vegan chocolate cookies recipe. (From: Putting Miso in Your Cookies Might Be the Best Idea Ever)

You should be able to get the ingredients at Good Fortune and/or Chinese American Mini Mart.

Someone was really out to prove their chipgan and french-fry-tarian friends' claims of healthy diets wrong (I guess).

Same story as many a telecom: Only reasonable option available in some places, thus they've a mostly captive market.

I haven't had a truly decent ISP since I first moved to the US. Seattle's Wave was wonderful, but it was also the only option for my building.

They always have lanes open and I rarely need to wait more than a few minutes to see a cashier. The only real complaint I have about them is that the bagging is generally poor, unlike most Market Baskets I've been to. I'm sure that will improve with time. Suffering a few more people in the shop is worth it to not have to deal with Shaw's/Price Chopper.

You can refuse the graft. My partner had 2 molars pulled there and they pressured us to get them; every time we said no, both verbally and in writing. No graft was given.

They do seem to try to pad the bill. We just refuse and demand the basic services we desire; haven't had a problem with them (yet), but are constantly wary.

I have. Tolerable, but it's not close enough to me (as in distance) that it's not worth more to improve my bagel making skills and have something that's equally good.

I've been teaching myself to make bagels because the options here are so sad.

At least Frankies is tolerable.

Such as?

[edit] Of course they delete their comment purporting that an alleged friend is a teacher in Southbridge and has seen horrible things in the school, whilst providing no examples.

Mind that blood pressure. Here's a cute photo of a platypus fish.

You really should watch your health. Here's a cute capybara.

Mind your health; here's a cute little fish.

You seem stressed. Here's a puppy for you. Lowering your blood pressure is good, even for children.

Language is a very personal thing, and speakers generally don't realise how little they know about language. It's not worth my time to engage further with someone who isn't open to the possibility that their understanding is narrower than they believed. I hope that you'll find the curiosity to look into things, or at least take a nice walk listening to music you enjoy to help yourself feel better. Good luck with your day.

Linguists observe and describe how people use language. Different languages and dialects use words differently, especially when they cross cultures. "Latine", for example, may be used by some in the Hispanosphere in the same manner that certain Anglophones use "Latinx", and both are equally valid words which are attested through popular use.

The word "Latinx" can sound odd to you, and that's totally fine. It sounds odd to me, too -- my cohort all use "Latin" to describe the same when we speak English. The word not being a part of your or my idiolects or local dialects doesn't mean that it isn't valid to others, though.

Take it from a professional linguist: If people are using "Latinx" as a word, then it's a word.

Surprise, they've deleted their post due to being called out.

OP was going to be against her either way. This is just another method to sow discord amongst others. If it wasn't this, it was going to be, idk, reports of her not smiling to someone on a sidewalk once or whatever.

And as the Latin[insert preferred suffix, or none at all]-identifying people I know who do use "Latinx", including those born in Latin America and relocated to the US, also exist. Your experiences and preferences are as valid as their experiences and preferences are valid. There's no one Latin[insert preferred suffix, or none at all] opinion or identity.

Also white Latin(e/x/o/a)s don't exist, and one's ethnicity disappears during trans-ethnic adoption. :o

After reading: Yes, it's jobs.

Surprise!

This opinion isn't uncommon in Chinese and Chinese diaspora communities throughout East/Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, where Chiang is from, Indians are the next largest ethnic minority group after Chinese, but don't hold nearly the economic power that the Chinese community does, though there's definitely an Indian elite/professional class. Usually this comes with a dollop of Han-centricism (the only cultures which matter are touched culturally or politically by the various dynasties of the Middle Kingdom [minus the non-Han ones, save when they Hanified]).

Not excusing it, just saying that it's consistent with where he's from, as well as really disappointing if that's an indication of his beliefs rather than something put on for a joke.

I remember when he first started working in China and had terrible Chinese. Proper ABC and proper hot. Stuck in traffic? At least there's an ad with Daniel Wu on a building to look at!

Unfortunately like many shit celebrities who participate in Chinese entertainment he's also anti-HK/pro-Beijing.

The general populace in China is called "100 family names" for a reason.

Right? Such a good point. I'd love to be able to do what I do locally and more directly contribute to the Worcester economy.

Like many smaller cities: Investments in public resources, infrastructure, transportation, mixed-income housing, walkable residential areas with convenient, walkable access to businesses (pharmacies, groceries, etc), small parks and sitting areas. Prioritising resident human-owned property development over commercial legal entity-owned property development. etc.
