#texture difference

[ninjakittycomics]

So I been seeing a post go around. And it talks about signs that a person might be being abused, and one was being put on an allowance.

One thing I want to note. Being put on an allowance, vs, being given a kind of stipend.

An allowance, is a thing that is given and taken, traditionally as a parent sees fit. In abusive partners, a partner can take it away at any time for any amount of bad performance. (Aka, do as I say, or you lose this good thing)

This is absolutely a control measure. It demands that the partner perform for their partner, "or else".

A stipend that is given by a spouse, to assist them in paying their bills, but has no "behave yourself" strings attached, is that.

Sure, if the spouse cant afford to continue over time, they might have to dial back or even quit, but it's not a punishment or a malice. Finances happen, and the spouse tried to help as best they could.

There's a texture difference. Always check the texture.

Chocodile

There has been debate over whether a Chocodile is a chocolate-covered Twinkie or a facsimile. The debate arose from the seeming "texture difference" between the Twinkie and the Chocodile. During a taste test and debate in Vacaville, California, opinions were split among those taking the test, as to whether the taste of the cake was the same. This issue was resolved during a show on the Food Network where it was confirmed by Hostess that the Chocodile was in fact a chocolate-covered Twinkie. This has caused consternation for some who continue to swear the cake is different. In actuality, it's the chocolate that makes the difference. Due to the chocolate coating, the cake tends to stay more moist, leading to the slightly different texture when compared to a normal Twinkie[citation needed].
