Ugh. My bad. I shouldn’t have started what would obviously turn into a hijack. He just said that he disagreed with something and then went on to describe something completely unrelated. We are talking about what food pantries will generally accept, not what they arguably should accept or what DrD would eat.
I’m very sorry. I just started donating regularly to my local food bank and I love them.
Has anyone considered the possibility that perhaps @DrDeth is actually learning from his years at the straight dope?And maybe he actually read his cire this time
Yeah, it’s a classic case of - there’s a useful point to be made, as in “the best-by date on a can doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t be donated, check with your food pantry first. The end.” But he had to turn it into “I have special knowledge, Big Can is lying to you, I eat expired food all the time and it’s fine, everyone else should do the same.”
Someone please award him a gold star for being clever and thrifty so we can all move on.
Welcome to the Dope. You’ll find @Stranger_On_A_Train to be eminently readable, as well as knowledgeable on many disciplines. Kind of an inside-out Dunning-Kruger .
You’ll note from a few posts up that he accused John Oliver of failing to disclose that one of the felony murder charges he talked about had been overturned on appeal. Oliver did mention this, the trouble is that our hero never saw the show that he was bloviating about. So, no.
For all the bitching and moaning he did in that thread, the least he could’ve done is watch the 20 minute youtube video.
IIRC, once that was explained to him, then he complained that it wasn’t mentioned until later in the video and the article he read (from the OP?) didn’t mention it.
It’s like when someone goes on and on about how much they don’t like a movie when all they know about it is what they extrapolated from a few trailers.
