Nah was just a shitpost tbh, I wouldn’t read much into it.

Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it’s measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.

What’s to wrap your head around? It’s 6.35kg or 12lbs.
Importantly it is only ever used to measure the weight of humans

Okay, well I’m not trying to change your opinion as it’s completely valid…as is mine.
Have a good day.

Seems like we agree then.

I don’t use the dryer
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
Honestly most the advice I’m seeing is basically an answer to “how to avoid clothes looking absurdly crinkled” but nothing gets clothes as crinkle-free as an iron. Most people are just content with some crinkles.
Not even iron-free shirts are free from my iron.
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I don’t use the dryer except for towels, and I’m generally pretty good about taking them out when they’re done washing- can definitely tell when they’ve sat there a while!
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I iron my tshirts and shorts otherwise they look crinkley
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 4 months ago:
Um…delivering?
Maybe I’m missing the point as I’m not from the US (and I assume from your content that you are) - but here we pay a delivery fee which covers the cost of delivery, and a tip is an optional bonus for the delivery person if you feel like they went beyond.

Well he didn’t just get takeout for some reason /s

Did you consider getting takeout?

Ad hominem attacks always reveal the character.

As a total stranger who who doesn’t know you a dot, I can totally unemotional and impartially say that you received justice.
Speed kills, literally. And as an inexperienced driver, you shouldn’t be speeding a dot. Let alone anyone else.
If a kid had run out from behind a parked car, tree or whatever then you have a much better chance of not killing them if you’re going the speed limit.
The fact that you were even caught, while armed with all the knowledge you have about increased deaths and thus increased demerits, tells me you should have made better choices.
I have been caught speeding 3 times in my 20 years of driving and I deserved every single one of them, and more.
That you were able to further reduce your punishment is further evidence of the system working.
Frankly I think your posts reveal an attitude of a victim rather than a perpetrator, which is a shame because you should probably have taken away something about the need to not speed in order to not kill people.
Everyone thinks they’re a great driver, and no one thinks it’s going to be them who has the accident that kills someone. But that’s the thing about accidents, they’re unpredictable and undesired.
All that said and done- if you were speeding by less than 10% I think it’s harsh and I’m glad you got to reduce the punishment! Over here we have 20mph zones to protect kids and 7kmh over is inexcusable in my book.
- Comment on Anon goes to the gym for the first time 5 months ago:
I’ve been going to the gym 4 times a week for 2yrs and I’ve been asked exactly one time to spot someone. Not to contradict you because it definitely happens, but some gyms don’t have that culture, like mine.

Peak Zimmer I feel. Although his score for Gladiator 2 (Inception) was also very good.

- Comment on New unit of measurement 5 months ago:
It’s a good thing they included the coin for scale otherwise we might have just assumed this person had Trump sized hands (another completely valid and totally real unit of measure, the greatest unit of all time actually)

That’s not an error though, so maybe that’s what you’re after!

And the good thing is you’ll have plenty of warning because your government is unlikely to join the war against the nazis for a good couple of years into the war against the nazis.
I jest…but kinda not really given current US foreign policy (or that of the past 100yrs tbh)

Good scientists will just let you know the potential consequences and let you decide what to do.
Take global warming for example…

I dislike all coffee flavoured things I’ve ever tried, including ice cream and chocolates.
- Comment on Ant smell 5 months ago:
It tastes really bitter to me. I don’t understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.
Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I’d be drinking that stuff non stop.
- Comment on Ant smell 5 months ago:
Huh that’s interesting…I hate beer, lager and coffee, all everyday adulting things…I wonder if I have this gene.
