@stux I'm with you. I mean, I AM heavily left-leaning, but conservative and civil aren't antonyms. Saying, "Don't be a jerk," absolutely should not be a liberal position but a default one.

@futurebird I'm with you. My only food allergy is bell peppers and some places slide them in even when they list ten other vegetables, strongly implying those are the only ten present. And one of my partners is very allergic to cayenne. Restaurants hardly ever list seasonings, and even packaged items frequently just list "and spices." Makes me want to scream.So, yeah, we're those people who make the server go talk to the kitchen staff. Because we have to.

@futurebird Yeah... That seems short-sighted and like it's going to lose a decent amount business. Because it's not just people with allergies to things the place refuses to declare when present who wouldn't eat there. It's everyone who would have gone there with them.

Here's a happy story for our sad times. Someone just blasted past the former world record for longest water journey in a pumpkin (paddling). I particularly love that the record specifies (paddling) as it implies the presence of (sailing) and (powered).http://www.chronline.com/stories/46-miles-on-the-columbia-river-in-a-1000-pound-pumpkin-lands-oregon-paddler-a-world-record,365082
