- WTF, Ohio? -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 15:38 4
  - Ohio is a GOP Virginia. People want to think it’s a swing state, but it’s really not any longer. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 16:16 2
    - Needs a lot more than one freak election to declare that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 16:19 1

    - I feel the outrage here isn't with Cotton. We all know he's a racist asshole. It's the Times giving him a pulpit. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 15:39 8
      - I actually don't mind the NYT publishing his op-ed. - ReluctantCynic Jun 3, 16:19 2
        
        On the contrary, publishing it in the 'paper of record' lends it a level of credence. - ty97 Jun 3, 16:24 1
        
        He's a U.S. Senator. I think that is credence enough (regardless of what I think about him as a person, his morals and ethics, etc.). - ReluctantCynic Jun 3, 16:34

This was a serious point of contention in my childhood - JD Jun 3, 15:04 [Backboard] 31
- I never ate at McDonald's for that reason. In high school I tried someone's Big Mac. It changed my life. - zunkskunk Jun 3, 15:52
- I worked in a McDonalds for a couple of years as a teen. It was very easy to get a burger without mustard as long as you requested it. - Diva Jun 3, 15:07 29
  - Did you work when they were doing the McDLT? I *hated* having an entirely different cooking process for one stupid burger. -- nm - David Jun 3, 16:08 5
    - It's fun discovering the McD cabal. I had to cook those things. The styrofoam atrocity. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 16:19 2
      - Oh, right! It even had special packaging. - David Jun 3, 16:20 1
        
        8-) I have vague memories of thinking..oooo..look McDonalds made a burger just for me - JD Jun 3, 16:23
    - Damn you, Jason Alexander!!! -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 16:16
    - laws, yes and it was HORRIBLE. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 16:11

    - Kim and I *always* order burgers without mustard. -- nm - David Jun 3, 16:02 1
      - My people! -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 16:23
    - yes. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 15:36
    - I worked there in high school. Mustard is required. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 15:19
    - It most definitely was at one point. Burgers / Cheeseburgers would be made ahead of time and had ketchup / mustard and two pickle pieces - JD Jun 3, 15:17 7
      - We had a strict policy at our place and no burgers sat in the bin longer than 10 minutes. We had to toss food from time to time. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 15:38
      - And the reconstituted onions! - znufrii Jun 3, 15:20 5
        
        That's right. They were the least offending so I kind of forgot about them -- nm - JD Jun 3, 15:22 1
        
        Yup. I forgot about them too. They barely had any flavor. I still didn't like them. - Krusty Jun 3, 15:25
        
        Velcro pickles! they stuck to the wall. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 15:20 2
        
        And pickles are friends, not lovers. - znufrii Jun 3, 15:21 1
        
        *laughing* I was wondering where you were going with that -- nm - JD Jun 3, 15:23
    - Everywhere except the NYC area, pretty much, I think. -- nm - znufrii Jun 3, 15:17 3
      - The tri-state area too? I thought I've had McDonald's elsewhere but maybe not. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 15:21 2
        
        I don’t know exactly where the border the no-mustard zone is, will have to do a little more research. - znufrii Jun 3, 15:23 1
        
        I'd love to know why we never got down with mustard on burgers. I'd likely be fine with it if I had it from the beginning. - Krusty Jun 3, 15:26
    - You just don’t notice it. They don’t put much on. -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 15:15 3
      - Interesting They don't put any on here. It's ketchup and pickles. - Krusty Jun 3, 15:16 2
        
        Do you then get a pound and a half of ketchup? - spamlet Jun 3, 15:18 1
        
        Not even close actually. Usually it's barely there and you have to add more. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 15:19
  - Trust me, my parents learned ;-) This was back in the heat lamp days and burgers in their paper wraps just sitting there for who knows how long - JD Jun 3, 15:12

    - Mustard powder goes in most of my rubs, stews and chilis. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 14:51
snork: "The NYPD is reporting that Antifa has painted convincing-looking tunnels on walls to trick NY's Finest into running into them at high speeds" -- nm - Jovian Jun 3, 14:45 2
- Are they sure they're not confusing ANTIFA with this guy? -- (pic) - Dark Callisto Jun 3, 14:49 [Attachment]
