Sister woman, if a kindhearted man who loves you to pieces gives you his great-grandmother’s ring and your only concern is the size of the rock thereupon, I just don’t know what to tell you.

Ritual’s pastries on Valencia suck. However, their pastries at the branch inside Flora Grubb Gardens are really yummy!

That story was a total imaginary shitstorm. The art was a very very very specific subject matter that Ritual had specifically requested NOT be used. They told the artist “any kind of photos except _______.” The artist said “sure” and then presented _______ instead. The art was removed as a result. It wasn’t OFFENSIVE art, it was emotionally draining depressing art. The artist completely flipped out on the staff, while the cafe was open and full of customers. The owner wrote a quick off-the-cuff email and paid the artist, even though she wasn’t required to, because the artist wasn’t being paid to hang her art in the first place. Artist continued to be an asshole and sent the (admittedly poorly thought out) private email to all the press in town, without the author’s permission, in order to get free publicity for her art + smear Ritual at the same time.

I fail to see where the blame lies for Ritual here. A “Portlandia” reference about how hipsters (i.e. most of Ritual’s customers) like it when you put a bird on it does not require a boycott IMHO.

I’m still feeling the sting from the art that had to be taken down and suggestion that coffee houses should have work with birds on power lines.

Maybe she’s a girl that doesn’t feel the need to have a huge diamond. They exist.

Another thread where the douch bag comments build off each other. With it usually finishing off with a gem like this that has little to nothing to do with the original subject. I realize people get a rise off of trolling, but jesus christ it never ceases to amaze me that someones life could so sad as to post something like this.

caroline, that’s the saddest little engagement ring i think i’ve ever seen on anyone. if your man (or woman) can’t afford to spring for a decent sized rock, they should’ve just forgone the diamond, entirely.

life’s too short to settle for crappy vegan nut bread and chintzy bling.

Ask yourself that, when you’re burning in a hell that resembles Orange County. I’ll be munching on a torn piece of baguette with a little top-shelf EVOO and black pepper.

Aaahh…

sure, but what good is a baguette without cheese on it?

Not pastry. Lump of shit without dairy, baked together, OK. Not pastry.

Uh, what? Vegan cupcakes (with no dairy) certainly exist.

Drop a slab of butter on it and put it in the toaster oven. Problem solved.
