I find it interesting that the post itself has mostly upvotes, yet every comment I’ve made explaining why I don’t like it is downvoted

Well, I wouldn’t say I’m outraged by it, given the community I posted it in. I’m not foaming at the mouth, I find the arrangement unpleasant and unnecessarily odd. Am I not allowed to think so?

The pattern doesn’t go on for terribly long (you can see a break in the pattern towards the left of the photo, where there is actually a set of 3 aligned rows instead of 4).
They could have accomplished the same thing in a more uniform way by placing the tiles in the standard half-interval or quarter-interval pattern across all of them. The only thing that makes any sense to me is that it’s quicker/ faster to align the tiles than it is to offset them, but they couldn’t have them aligned the whole way for the reasons you outlined.

The every fifth tile is what I have an issue with, tiles laid out at half-intervals or quarter-intervals on every row are common and perfectly fine. The chunk of 4 aligned tiles is very unpleasant to look at imo.

The pattern is stupid.

For what it’s worth, I went to college before I was ready and it didn’t do anyone any favors. I think college only helps form structure for those that already have a good foundation for it; there’s so much freedom that if you decide to just fuck off and do nothing, there’s generally no repercussions until you’re failing the class you presumably paid to attend.
If you go into it planning to use it as a tool to help build structure and find a purpose on your own, it can be good. But it’s not like the military or something where they’re going to force you to comply. I spent most of my freshman year in college sitting in my car in the parking lot because I had other stuff going on and I was too stressed out / anxious to go to class. Then took nearly 5 years to rebuild the courage to go back. If I just waited a year to sort my shit out before trying to go to college fresh out of high school, I probably would’ve had a degree by the time I started the second time.

That’s what I came here to say. Find a math/ science adjacent hobby (note: hobby must be expensive) to devote a disgusting amount of time researching, then use some of those skills to find a job. I like computers, 3d printers, and cars; I got a job servicing and installing industrial equipment.
Sometimes you don’t even have to partake in the expensive hobby. Just spend weeks reading about it on Wikipedia and forums and watch a few dozen hours of YouTube videos on it and you’re bound to get enough side knowledge to be useful in some field.

That’s funny you mention them. Before going to In-N-Out the other day I was curious where the nearest Shake Shack was (I travel for work and they’re in a lot of airports but I otherwise haven’t seen many), the closest one was ~25 minutes away vs 8 minutes for In-N-Out. I also don’t really like Shake Shack’s actual food as much, but their shakes are of course phenomenal (if not pricey).

I mean, they’re well known for being a Christian company. It’s not particularly surprising.
In a perfect world, I’d go to the left-wing-donating equivalent, but until they show up or In-N-Out stops being an otherwise commendable company (charity work for addiction centers and trafficked children, much higher wages than competitors, (mostly) clean and well maintained establishments), they’re gonna get my $9.98 when I don’t have the time or energy to make dinner.

I think their consistency has gone down. If you get a top tier In-N-Out burger, where the cheese has just started to melt and the bun was toasted just right, they’re pretty damn good burgers, would still be worth it if it cost an extra $2-3. The mid to low tier In-N-Out burgers are about worth their current price.

I read this post after ordering my trusty $9.98 double burger with fries at In-N-Out. I pray for the survival of this franchise.

Yeah honestly so glad that corn resurgence died after a couple posts. Whenever I see that shit start up again I just hop off Lemmy for a couple days lol. Don’t see what’s entertaining or funny about scrolling through the search results of a grocery store webpage. And I was one of the ones at the beginning that thought it was funny… for like 2 days.

Get tubs of yogurt instead of the little cups? Maybe even a tub for each twin so they can just eat it out of the tub like the little gremlins they are.

No, I want you to concede at the very least that you acted like I was incapable of understanding your ClEveR comment when it was in fact you that made a mistake, and it’d be even better if you admitted that your random “well there were trans people in the 1700s dumby!” quip a. had absolutely nothing to do with what anyone was talking about, b. was unnecessarily rude to someone who only disagreed with you in your own mind, and c. failed to disprove the thing you decided to argue against. But I don’t think you’re gonna do any of that so I think we’re done.

So are ad hominem attacks when someone can no longer defend their position, or even acknowledge the obvious mistake they sarcastically defended.
I don’t see why I would, based on this interaction.

Cawthorn
Crawford
My point is that your original comment was not to Cawthorn. It was to someone completely different. Cawthorn could have a swastika in his profile picture and call for the extinction of all trans people and it wouldn’t justify your being rude to some random guy online who said, “yeah the founding fathers would be horrified”.
You’re acting like you’re talking directly to the OP and responding directly to Cawthorn’s tweet, when you’re not.
Finally, I didn’t ‘assume’ anything. I’ve run across Ms. Crawford’s comments in the past, and happened to remember the name.
I’m not saying you’re assuming Cawthorn’s position. I’m saying you’re assuming Dookieman12’s position. What do Cawthorn’s past comments have to do with the person you’re actually responding to?
