The cunts of humanity that are frequently seen in public...

That's because you can't screen for something that doesn't exist.

Nah. People go to their doctor and say, "I think I'm alergic to Gluten". Then the doctor screens for celiac disease, the screen rules it out, and the diagnosis is NCGS. In other words, it could be anything but celiac disease.

I'm pretty sure I saw Cunts of Humanity open for the Dead Kennedys back in the mid 80s, at CBGBs.

You could also claim that a witch turned you into a newt.

What is it about people waiting for an elevator? It's like Boyle's law. The volume of room between the elevators will always be filled by the people waiting for one. I don't take the elevator, but I have to walk through these assholes.

Weren't they hired by the Grateful Dead as security for their concert back in the 60s?

I work in a building where the stairs are fire exit only. And we are on four floors, so the stairs would really be useful. Fucking cunt building management!

I worked in a building that actually featured signs like this:

There are lab tests, however, that measure antibodies in the gut. It's affectionately known as the Shit 'n' Spit test:

Traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic. My area is exploding - I live 8 miles from where I work. Ten years ago the commute was 8 mins. Five years ago it was 15 mins. Now its 45 goddamn minutes. - Demiurge

HA! I say again HA! I am in the EXACT situation. Urban sprawl has turned my short commute to 45 minutes (sometimes 30) within ten years too. It takes an average of seven years from saying "we need a wider road" to the first car rolling on that wider road. It takes an average of 18 months from saying "we need a new subdivision" to the first meal cooked in a newly built house. I'm not a math wizard, but that pretty much says "we are fucked."
Driving "defensively" doesn't begin to cover it. You must drive with a laser-like focus that would put a master Zen monk to shame. You better "become one with your car" or you will "become one with your coffin."

Yeah, to screen for celiac disease...not NCGS.

Screening for celiac begins with a tTG-IgA Test. That's a blood test.

Screening for sensitivities to gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy are done by the Shit 'n' Spit test.

Don't ask me how I know.

Wouldn't antibidies be a biomarker?

Sprawl is not urban, it's anti-urban.

That's not a math problem, it's a geography problem. When everything is designed for cars instead of people, you are going to draw in more cars. It's not possible to mitigate induced demand by building more lanes. The only way to solve that traffic problem is to reduce the need for car based trips.

Okay, maybe I misused the terminology, but the sensitivity does exist, and the gut flora will show it if it's there. I come from a very allergic family; unfortunately I'm up on these things.

Also, it's not just wheat. There's gluten in rye, oats, and barley, which pretty much rules out whiskey and beer for those who have to deal with it.

I hear that! But when the shopping areas are miles from the subdivisions, you have to drive. Like I said before, I'm fifteen feet from my nearest neighbor and two miles to the nearest store. Nothing is within walking distance - and here's the best part: almost all the subdivisions are "dead ends" and don't connect. So you could conceivably be two blocks from the shopping areas, but there are fences and private property blocking you. So you have to take the only road out of your subdivision, which means you have to travel a half-mile to get to the store. Fuck I'm getting depressed just thinking about this fucked-up inefficient way of managing land.

I did see gluten-free beer at a grocery store, so it's not all gloom & doom!

Reminds me of the shock that awaited me after moving back into my home county after being away for almost ten years. It was obvious that our county commission was now bought and paid for by everyone whose business was home building. The dairy farms and ranches that covered a lot of the east side were gone and replaced with subdivision and apartment complexes.My first thought was "Where do all these people work?"

Okay, but if gut flora shows that it exists, wouldn't that also be a biomarker?

It's made from sorghum. I've had it. It's...not beer.

I would think so. Maybe @gul's thinking of something on the molecular level.

Maybe people in Arizona recognize that pulling up behind someone and blasting them with your high beams is a dick move, and they're not going to reward asshole behavior by giving the desired response?

If other people choosing not to eat something makes your life "miserable," you have a pretty low threshold for misery and probably need to lighten up.

If you're in the fast lane, and somebody overtakes you, you should have enough sense to move over without being bright lighted.

If you're consistently being passed on the right, your dumb ass is going too slow and you need to move over. It is NOT your god-given right to sit in the left lane clogging things up.

I hear many of these cases can be solved with a poop transplant. Seriously, it is kind of the hip cutting edge thing right now. Many of the symptoms of a sensativity are actually people just having the wrong micro criteria in their gut and doctors can solve it by finding someone who has the right flora and fauna in their gut and doing a fecal transplant.

They basically take someone else's shit and stuff it up your ass.

Tafkats, you don't blast them with your high beams. It is a quick flash to get their attention and it is a standard part of motoring etiquette. A way for drivers to communicate with each other.

It is only used if someone is blocking the fast lane a d failing to pull right. As MAohS said the proactive people see someone coming up behind them and get over before that even happens.

BTW on my drive home today the fast lane was empty at least 50% of the time despite there being moderate traffic. I did see one idiot tooling along in the fast lane (I was in the #4 out of 5 lane) but he had New Mexico plates proving some other states need to improve their driver's ed.

Back when I was in my late teens, my friends and I would get on I-94 about 20-30 miles north of Detroit, drive parallel to each other in all two or three lanes, and slow down to 45mph (the minimum speed.) People flipped the fuck out; hit their horns repeatedly, flipped us off, yelled shit we couldn't hear because, driving, threw shit at our cars as they passed on the shoulder. We were never pulled over (if a cop drove up behind us, of course we got out of the way), but people passing us on the shoulder did.

One time, in an area where it was two lanes, an SUV passed us on the left shoulder, and then about 100 feet ahead turned sideways so he was blocking both lanes. We could have swerved around him, but he judged the distance about right so that we had time to stop, but not really think so we came to a stop. The guy got out of his vehicle and started pounding on my friends car and screaming. My friend looked like he was about to shit his pants, but I was stupidly cocky back then so I got out to "reason" with him. Once he saw me, he started screaming at me and punching the hood of my car. Traffic started to back up behind us, and a few minutes later, some police showed up. My friend and I told them that the guy blocked traffic and started flipping out. The other guy said we were driving "too fucking slow" and he got angry. One of the cops asked us how fast we were going, and I said something along the lines of "I'm not sure exactly, but to be honest, I usually go about 80 through here." (This was not technically untrue. I was unsure of my exact speed because I don't stare at my speedometer when I drive and doubt it was perfectly calibrated even if I did, and I do usually go about 80 on freeways.) My friend said "about the same." To the police and all the witnesses, it looked like this guy was being completely unreasonable and attacked us without provocation. He was arrested.

And people think trolling on the internet is an accomplishment. There's trolling, and then there's true evil.

Also, vegans. Vegetarians I get. But vegans are a self important and constantly proselytizing scourge. They are like soccer fans. They'll preach to you even when you tell them in clear and simple words to STFU.

The food industry is catering to those weird people now too. I can't even look at the shelves of substitute crap without the strong urge to barf. Jee-bus, if you want sausage or a steak, eat one. If you won't, eat the greenish brown sludge that most vegan dishes are. All that vegan shit are frankenproducts made of old tires, thistle spit and toxic waste or whatever.

However, the worst of the vegan bunch are those with children and/or dogs. Because, like, they force their dogs to eat vegan too (NOT a joke, there is actually canned vegan dog food). They also force their children into a life of deficiencies and anemia. All while thinking they're saving the world while scoring hipster cred.

They don't. Xenforo blocks them. You've tried this lie before when you've been caught out posting in my threads despite your claims of ignore.
