I never saw a FSBO in the Bay Area

Don't know why when you guys make it seem so easy (for real)

not babylon bee-related, but similar vibe

I learned something new today. Anti-semites are some of the biggest weirdos out there.

I would like to think that he might rethink what he's been doing with Babylon Bee based on how people are responding to this but probably not.

key is to find the kids with the parents that are fun to be around, and essentially make your kids be friends with their kids.  basically instead of a kid play date (hated typing that) you organize an adult hang out, and the kids naturally get to play with each other.
^bingo. trouble is all my friends that meet that criteria either don't have kids, or their kids are nowhere close to mine's age, or they live like a thousand miles away. sure i (a middle aged man) could go actively seeking out new friends but what am i some kind of psychopath?

no you start with the kids and do trial play dates. I went through this in California - our first attempts at family friendships started with some awful people but ended with two families on our street that we just met in Mexico for vacation. They are all lifetime friends.

I'd really like to hear Doug and Mary's side of the story.
this blog is beneath them

I feel like you have a lot of pet peeves with this particular family and should elaborate.

I've been told that everything is perfectly fine with the fundamentals of Gaza governance and it's just that pesky Hamas who keeps mucking it up for everyone.:

Who told you that

I believe it was KK when I brought up the notion of Gaza governance allowing Hamas to build a stronghold and grow.
Not sure the context of this but Israel might be a factor too!!!!

I will vote for Biden but I really don't like what Israel is doing to Gaza (and our enabling of it)

Not gE'ing here, the amount of Nazi blue checks that have crawled out of the woodwork on Twitter since Elon took over is really something. It feels like every post there gets a response either from a porn bot or a nazi. Really makes it hard to follow conversations.
Replies are unreadable with these clowns at the top every time

LMAO I thought it was an unfunny lib who faked that

Rusty's focus on the gluten free part of this story is my favorite.

the focus is on accommodating his wife! (My GF wife would not let this fly and I seriously think it is more aggregious by the hosts and BAC)

Second, regarding them not making accommodations, it was honestly fine. My wife is very used to it. There are so few places that she feels safe to eat at, and of those Im not sure if any of them deliver, but ultimately we were not planning to stay for dinner in the first place, it was just supposed to be a chill hang that ran long bc the kids were having fun, and ordering pizza was very much a fitting choice.

How on earth do you not know if there are any celiac friendly places that deliver? I'm assuming this other family lives in your neighborhood or at least delivery range?

Do you think the host was tracking everyone’s pizza consumption? Or they should have weighted the split cost based on family members? I’m really not sure what alternative you’re expecting if the cost is going to be split (honestly I don’t like asking how much I owe  as the guest OR being asked as the host).
It's very stressful ordering food for a large group if you do it well! When I'm doing it I try to accommodate any dietary needs and be cognizant of different budgets while being as transparent as possible about how it's split up.

Good guests/parties seem understand this and I've never had anyone hesitate to pay me (except one guy who thought there were more people than were actually there and thought I was ripping him off one time).

 IMO the real foul was the host didn't try to find gluten free pizza for the wife and I'm kind of annoyed by you for being annoyed by the money and not failure to accommodate your wife

Like, next time they might order a gf pizza especially for your wife and still divide it evenly. You can offer to pay the difference but most people that can afford to own a home would rather just keep it simple and divide evenly 9 times out of 10

$25 per person or $25 per family?

Regardless you are going to drive yourself crazy over the next few years if you stress over the shared costs of pizza parties or shared dinners in general. Just assume it will balance out over time and move on.
