If someone can't lay down on your couch or a bed without swiping a bunch of pillows to the floor, you have too many loving pillows. Decorative pillows don't look good. Nobody likes them. gently caress duvets too. Beds are not a decoration, they are a place to sleep, just keep a sheet on it, a blanket if it's cold. Nothing else.

The only unwelcomed pillows are the uncomfortable ones with like beads or itchy decorative threads and stuff. I got 8 pillows on my bed, but they're all just regular bed pillows and it loving rules to sleep in a big ol' nest of pillows and blankets.

I agree that the scratchy ones are the worst offenders, but for some reason I can't even stand multiple comfortable pillows. I just want one. I've been to hotels with 6 equal pillows and i'll wake up with at least 4 of them on the floor.

I cite La Casita (a local chain) as my "not sure if authentic." The Enchilados Poblano are loving AMAZING, but anything with even a little less spice tastes very incorrect.

PHUO: Corn tortillas are the only correct tortilla for quesadillas.

I crave Taco Bell approximately once every two years and it’s inedible at all other times. I just wish crunchy tacos were more widely accepted.

i live in an area that's heavy with mexican immigrants, and whoever isn't an immigrant is probably like 1st or 2nd generation in the united states. there are taco places everywhere as well as taco trucks and taco carts, and all of them serve food that's not very different from what you can get at a del taco or a chipotle.

taco bell is actual trash though. like, the Kids Cuisine pudding dessert of food

if you took one of those lovely 70s recipies where you put a vegetable medley and cocktail shrimp into a gelatin and shoved it into a stale flour tortilla and served it all in a brandy snifter, it would be better than a taco bell tostada

edit: gently caress it now i'm mad at taco bell so much

Taco Bell isn't all that good and never has been but they're definitely a company that knows why they exist.

It's 1:00 a.m, you're drunk, you have $4, and that can buy you multiple tacos at a Taco Bell. You're welcome.

It's always made me lol that all of the food that Mexican people I've known make and eat, would be dismissed as inauthentic by white food snobs.

A Mexican dude I used to work with brought some tacos to work that his wife made. Basically just seasoned ground meat wrapped in fried tortillas. drat good though.

The funniest thing is that the peasant food was usually the healthiest in the end. It also turns out that if you give some random group of people a thousand years and a list of ingredients and they'll figure out some incredible things.

Remember how hard the media worked to pretend Donald Trump was a human being and how hard they're working now to equivocate Nazis with people who want social justice? They work ten times harder to paper over the fact that Americans are in hilarious amounts of debt, independent of most rents being considered financially-burdensome by the government's own guidelines (1/3 of income or something around there).

Why don't you use direct bank transfer to pay your rent? That's what everyone does in Finland, you couldn't pay rent with a cheque (or cash) if you tried.

I like checks just because people have come up with some interesting ways to commit fraud, like check kiting, which have led to some decent movies. They can probably go away now, though. Their only use is to piss people off at the grocery store while the cashier has to call over a manager who has to try and remember what to do to accept it.

I don't want cash to ever go away though. For financially irresponsible idiots like me it's a lot easier to control my spending when i'm reminded of how much money I have left every time I open my wallet. Also splitting checks at a restaurant is annoying, especially if shared appetizers are involved. It's not difficult, it just bothers me because if you get stuck with the appetizer fully on y our card and the guy promises to pay you back when he gets cash, you end up getting screwed because most people are smug anti-cash zealots now and he'll never get it, and both of us will probably forget about it if we do a "you can get the next one" deal.

e: also there's no record of when/where you use cash

It's pretty much up to your landlord. Some ask for checks, some do it direct. most of the ones I've had have asked for checks. I'm sure I could set something direct up with my landlord now, but it takes 10 seconds to write a check and I don't really give a poo poo.
