Corn syrup has wrecked ice cream for me. I can’t stand it and actively avoid buying ice cream with it.
I miss the old Bryer’s

I had to look this one up. Why the Proud Boys Initiation Ritual Involves Cereal
I would say these are a bunch of frat boys who peaked in college but I think they are just cosplaying what they think being in a frat would be like.
Yosef Ozia, a member of the Southern Proud Boys chapter who’s based in Atlanta, Georgia, told Extra Crispy that this all stemmed from a fart joke. Yep, a fart joke. McInnes introduced this step based on a rule his buddies had in the past: if someone farted, they’d get beat on until they could list five kinds of breakfast cereal. “It doesn’t mean anything,” Ozia said. “[Initiation] is mostly a joke. A lot of people take it seriously, and they shouldn’t really.”

Yeah, the strippers hate it when I start chucking quarters.

I mean there are a lot less questions if you know the state.

In the US Aldi requires a quarter. Depending on the area, there are absolutely people who will give up their 25 cents to not walk their lazy ass to return the cart.
Florida is full of inconsiderate selfish assholes.

I’d vote for you.

Yeah I tend to think that anyone who identifies as high t alpha male is actually just the opposite.
They are usually the ones seeking admiration and approval. Meanwhile the free thinkers are just doing our days and caring for our tribes. No approval needed.
- Comment on Artificial price increase so that you can post “discounts” on Prime Day 5 months ago:
This is a tale as old as time. We did this in the late 90s at an office supply store. Every Sunday night changing price tags “ooh guess there will be a sale on resume paper in the next few weeks”. 1-4 weeks out we would increase prices on some items just to lower them back when the ad came out.

Well there are only 2 choices in a FPTP election system.

I’d walk. No job is worth the threat of being poisoned or otherwise attacked.
- Comment on "Hey Google, Turn my balls off" 5 months ago:
This was my first thought. I could see this being a medical procedure in place of a vasectomy. Get switch (or something less likely to get bumped) installed and set to off. Then when you want to have kids, another procedure to turn the switch on.
People keep looking for a quick fix for male sperm control, I didn’t think it is possible. At least not as a off and on solution that keeps coming up.

Sadly I can say this is not the first time I’ve seen the bang local milfs decal, and that does not appear to be a Florida plate.

Tiny hands, tiny tongue. He barely noticed it.

Drumpf can’t even hold a glass of water, I’m supposed to believe her can hold anything to smoke out of? He’d probably put the lit end of a blunt in his mouth and bite.

I’m in. I’ll eat a whole case. A butter dipping sauce out maybe just some buttercream frosting would go nicely.

I will now learn to speak this word fluently and use it often to announce my farts.
Excuse me, I must retire to the veranda to tune my bumbulum.
- Comment on Ant smell 6 months ago:
There is a difference between standard bleach and pinesol usage and using it as a way to conceal other smells or problems. Or even worse, not knowing how to use those chemicals to clean. You know how to use a weak bleach solution for cooking surfaces, does your bartender? I’ve seen front of house employees over use cleaning chemicals because isn’t it better to use stronger chemicals to clean. My favorite was the hostess who didn’t want to clean the bathroom so she would just fill the soap and and paper products and fill a spray bottle with Lysol that she would spray around to give the smell of a clean bathroom.
It’s unlikely anyone will notice the smell of properly used cleaning products.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 8 months ago:
I think this is also an archaic model from before smart phones and the early days of smart phones. In the early days of apps, most attempted to limit data usage because most network providers charged a premium for data and the networks were much slower and smaller.
While you could tether in these early days, even before smart phones, the computer was capable of much higher data usage than the phone. These limits were put in place to protect a network that wasn’t really built for this level of load.
Old rules with good purpose turned into a way to charge more money.

Every time the ATT sales people bug me at stores I tell them what I’m paying and that I get unlimited hotspot and they usually say “oh, you’re good.”
Add to this that Fi actually allows you to add data only SIMS at no cost.
- Comment on This person's rejection reason 11 months ago:
Birthday on LinkedIn is a bit outlandish as age discrimination laws are fairly standard. I think it is more likely that they called it their birthday on some immature post, which may mean that the applicant is a poor cultural fit.
