    Is a grilled cheese a sandwich? Because American Cheese is required for those.

    you've obviously not had grilled cheese with good cheddar, or gruyere, or brie

    I have. I wanted to mix American in with them. My poor upbringing is probably to blame.

    i think some stuff manages to wriggle free of a troubled past. Like no one thinks 'Hitler' when they see a VW Bug even tho Hitler commissioned it or whatever

    (Oh god when I tried to look that up I wound up on a pro-Hitler propaganda site. Sorry, I mean a site that's "non-biased" about Hitler. Eep.)

    i dunno where this reaction comes from did i make a funny joke without realizing it

    oh maybe 'wriggle free' ties into the bug

    I want to purge my clothes, but I cannot figure out where to locally donate clothes so my unwanted clothes have been hanging out in a trashbag forever and it's sort of blocking my ability to get rid of more clothes

    Are there no donation bins near any malls?

    I haven't seen any! And there's no goodwill or anything near me, I think...? I've looked before and haven't come up with a good solution.

    You could probably call for a pick up. I know being in DC with no car really makes it harder for lugging around a lot of clothing.

    I am at the point I have just enough shirts and pants to wear for a single week of work. And about a week and a half of non-work clothing.

    even i cannot understand how this passes as a breakfast

    This is dessert

    I'm taking a stand because words have meanings
    Breakfast
    noun
    1.the first meal of the day; morning meal:

    ITS FRIED CAKE UNDER A LITERAL PILE OF SUGAR

    IM GOING TO FIGHT POSTMODERNISM
    It was the first meal of the day, by definition that is breakfast,

    Also
    Fried cake under liquid sugar

    Sorry I've been radicalized by this whole issue and I'm turning to violence to enforce my views on what is s legitimate definition of breakfast
    You go burn the town down I'm going to eat Pancakes and beignets.

    Do you think that there's a meaningful difference between an Arab person wearing one and a literal occupying soldier or a copy-cat, though?

    Almond Roca is regional to washington? I had no idea. My mom used to make it all the time, I figured it was everywhere. I'd struggle to come up wish a unique washington dish, we're kind of a melting pot of asian culture with hispanic and of course all the white people.

    I actually don't understand how Vanguard can write long posts about using other's work without attribution and also attacking cultural appropriation.

    I have a few different answers to this. I think poetry can be similar to a song using samples. In this case, I'm using samples of others ideas and images. Attributing the line doesn't necessarily add much here; either you're familiar with the source material or you're not, but I try not to write in a way that one needs to know where it came from.

    I'm also careful to not use certain voices who have been underrepresented in poetry.
