Sure, the day I need to get dental work done is a perfect time for my car to die.
Nnnnhhh.

Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

Having some stupid quirk that makes cilantro taste like soap, and everyone around me talks about how good it is. And then finding it is in my peanut sauce enough to ruin it. Blech.
This is a genetic thing. I always feel sorry for the people who have it - including my mom - because cilantro is so delicious to me and there is literally nothing you can do to get used to the flavor. You just have to deal with the fact that the rest of the world loves slimy soap.

It does taste like soap, and I will fight anyone that says differently.
and you'll fucking lose, too

UPDATE: Someone stole my catalytic converter. Cut it right out of the exhaust system. In the middle of the night. In my garage bay. Next to two much more expensive cars.

You're not alone. I love so many foods that naturally are prepared with cilantro, and it kills me every time to have to order it without. The looks I get from people when I ask if something has cilantro in it... and its messed up, too, because if you say you have an allergy to cilantro, you get sympathy. If you tell them you have a genetic marker than makes cilantro taste like three day old soapy dishwater, you get stared at like you've grown a second head.

@Too-Old-For-This i honestly thought everyone knew about this genetic MUTATION. I mean i feel a lot of sympathy for the mutants who can't experience the unmitigated delight of cilantro, but maybe we should put them all on some kind of registry, just to keep track of them.

No, no.
Just remember.It means you can stare them in the eye as you add it to guac, knowing that it means more for you.

@Kanye-Qwest I hear the sentinels are super nice. Totally not house-wrecking invasive snatch-and-grab murderbots.
@Auspice You can have all the guacamole in the world. I can't eat avocado (texture thing).

See, my texture issues (cause I can get behind that) lie with other stuff. Like cottage cheese. Pudding crust. HOT FRUIT (this is why I can't have pineapple on pizza: you can tell me it's tasty all day long but that also means you enjoy fruit splooge).

My texture thing is horrifyingly restrictive... avocado, mashed potatoes, anything with that mostly smooth but slightly grainy texture... hummus. God I wish I could eat hummus.

Apparently, stealing catalytic converters is a thing.

I'm guessing they stole yours figuring your car was less likely to have an alarm system than the expensive ones.
But also that's terrible.

Double post: having a cracked rib. While on vacation with friends. At Disneyland.

Be careful. I've actually heard of people who do it like this:
*Steal <part> from less-expensive car
*Wait a few weeks
*Steal brand-new replacement <part> from same car -

@Thenomain Install a "Security Copperhead Pit Viper" in your backseat or chain a half-starved honey badger to your undercarriage at night.
Delete the Hog Pit. It'll be fun.
