- Comment on I asked for no sauce and got these instead 6 days ago:
If you come into the same restaurant multiple times per week and every fucking time you order extra ranch, maybe learn to order it along with the food your already ordering.
- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 1 week ago:
To add to that, I know that if I just came out and said exactly “why is that sexist?” it probably would sound like I’m copping an attitude. So I think it’s safer to approach it more delicately.

What’s with random borders on screenshots lately?
- Comment on I asked for no sauce and got these instead 1 week ago:
I used to be a food cost manager in fast food and those stupid little packets cost a fortune. That’s why you get very stingy fast food workers — you need to specify how many sauce packets you need while ordering, not at the window.
While I’m in a tangent, also tell your waiter ahead of time if you need more fucking ranch dressing. I do not miss serving people and the first thing they bark out is “can I get more ranch dressing?” Bitch you sure can but maybe order it ahead of time, now I have to make an entire additional trip just for you.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 1 week ago:
I think it should be “and/or” because if it’s just “or” than the terms would only apply if you either open it or use it.
- Comment on Online Order Tracking Numbers Linked to 3rd Party Site Trackers 1 week ago:
I use Apple’s Mail on iOS and macOS that block external assets by default. But I also block all that trash via DNS too. I use Blocky loaded with tons of blocklists.

A creditor and some other random company have done that.
- Comment on Online Order Tracking Numbers Linked to 3rd Party Site Trackers 1 week ago:
Email tracking in general is cursed. I keep getting letters from a few companies because “you’re not receiving our emails.” No, I’m just blocking your 14 hidden pixels and not clicking your fucking
awstrack.meURLs.Shout out to Postmark for allowing me (as a web developer) to not spy on my users by rewriting everything as a tracking link.
- Comment on Online Order Tracking Numbers Linked to 3rd Party Site Trackers 1 week ago:
My side business is a transportation management system (TMS) that communicates with shipping carriers. Because I got so frustrated with this exact problem I developed a series of “hacks” so that when this happens customers don’t actually see it marked shipped until someone confirms it.
It’s very annoying but I think it’s worth it to convey accurate information. A lot of misunderstandings and pissed off customers come from shitty tracking APIs. My other favorite is “out for delivery” when it’s not; they don’t want to get in trouble for delivering it late but by lying to people you’ve just pissed them off even more.
- Comment on captchas like these that don't tell you which part of the text you're supposed to input 1 week ago:
Especially when it’s a website that requires an account but they want to use SMS-based or Google Authenticator style 2FA in 2025. “Magic links” are stupid as hell too if you’re not a moron and use a decent password manager — I have no clue what random email address I generated since I can’t trust any company not to sell off my PII.
How hard is it to implement FIDO2 then let valid users make requests from whatever IP address they want? IP-based blocking is pretty fucking stupid if you’re already doing secure account-based authorization.

More propaganda from the dairy industry.

I just redirect to a redlib instance, it works 99% of the time.

“Zee shed”

If you’re going to screenshot at least crop? But why not just save the original image and avoid (potentially) recompressing it?
- Comment on Children never lie 2 weeks ago:
I actually know Katakana and a limited amount of Japanese so yes, I know what you mean.
Great point about phoneticized loanwords though!

Tequila is actually phonetic in Spanish, lol

Yo are you here for answers or just to debate everyone and be all confrontational?
- Comment on parking 2 weeks ago:
To be fair this is terrible road design.
- Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light? 2 weeks ago:
I’m experiencing this daily in Los Angeles. Also people don’t seem to scoot up onto the sensor so the light takes longer than necessary to change (though stupidly half of those sensors are in the crosswalk or even beyond it).
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
It’s already been going on for 30+ years so whatever you call this is pretty much it.
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 weeks ago:
My bad. But why does it taste like shit then?
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure about that, but I did see numerous new Coca-Cola products in new flavors that I assume they put together by scraping metrics from these; and if I remember correctly they do have cellular interface.
- Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please? 2 weeks ago:
Six flavor shots that mix with all the others and end up just tasting like a combination of them all. 😷
- Comment on Can all the milk replacements bubble if you blow thru a straw in it like a child? 3 weeks ago:
I hate coconut too but after going vegan and trying all kinds of plant-based milks, I actually have half almond + half coconut plant-based milk a shot and it was to die for.
Coconut is still pretty gross but in some recipes (think casseroles) coconut cream comes out pretty close to “real.”

I was alluding to the creepy AI-like imagery. I’m not really interested in the choking hazard debate.

Almost got me, I didn’t realize which community this is. Was about say “just drink it from the bottle/can?”
- Comment on Even in android Microsoft is still trying to get you to use edge 4 weeks ago:
Not sure what you’re alluding to. I’ve been paying attention for the last 30 (how long I’ve been using computers). During my childhood I used Windows at home and macOS at school; eventually I moved on to Linux at home then a mix of Linux and macOS.
I haven’t used Windows since Windows XP so it’s really just a guess what you might be getting at. Am I to assume that OS vendors making poor suggestions in their UIs is normal?
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard a theory that when new presidents come into office they usually aren’t interested in being involved in conflicts. What happens is that something will happen in the world and the newly elected president will have an enormous amount of power at his disposal. Wanting to do good in the world the president will typically go for it.
I wish I could recall the name of the theory or provide references; maybe someone else can chime in.
