22 Fast Food Employees Reveal Foods That You Should Never Order
1. If you see something on the menu and can’t find at least one or two other items that the ingredients could be used in, don’t order it.
For example, my restaurant has a pulled pork sandwich. We don’t use the pork for anything else. Since it’s not ordered too frequently, it’s not fresh and the product you’re eating might be days or weeks old. It’s not going to get you sick, but it definitely won’t be as fresh as the other things on the menu.

Poll of the Day
My childhood friend cheated on his gf last summer with multiple partners. He just told me they’re about to get married and she still has no idea. My childhood friend Brandon and I grew up together and our families know each other. He’s like a big brother to me. He’s been dating his current girlfriend for 5 years.
Now, they actually are about to get married. I feel so bad for his gf but I don’t know if it’s my secret to tell. It feels like I’m sticking my nose into someone else’s business. But I also feel for the poor girl. If I tell her, our family’s relationship is doomed and my mom would definitely kill me for meddling too. Maybe ignorance is bliss? What should I do?

What Actually Goes On In Conversion Therapy?
Techniques used in conversion (or reparative) therapy went from the truly abhorrent to the merely reprehensible.
In the twentieth century prefrontal lobotomies were sometimes performed on people considered to be too resistant for less restrictive treatments.
Aversive therapy wasn’t uncommon. A behavioral modification technique, it was based on associating any gay related feeling or arousal with a very panful, accompanying response.
Clockwork Orange and Alex’s reprogramming is an example of this technique. Electro-shock therapy, nausea inducing drugs, sleep deprivation, chemical castration were all part of a varied treatment arsenal.

Picture of the Day
This is a portrait of Spanish spy and double agent, Juan Pujol Garcia in his uniform as a lieutenant in the Spanish Republic Army.
Up until the breakout of World War II, Pujol was pretty much a failure in all aspects of his life. He had failed at being a student, soldier, businessman, and cinema magnate. Not to mention, his marriage was falling apart.
Confidence Is Felt

Confidence is felt. It’s intuited by women. It’s instinctual. Women unconsciously detect it by watching a man’s behavior carefully. It’s why women can often become turned off at the most innocuous moment or by the most unimportant statement.
