- Comment on If the NAACP is for colored people, why is there not one for Asian People, White People, People of Middle Eastern Desent? 5 days ago:
Fox News would argue otherwise.
But in all seriousness, look at the past 100 years and all sorts of “white” groups have been marginalized. It used to be that the Irish and the Italians were both dubbed “not good enough” back in ”the day”. That’s part of why “Columbus Day” became a holiday originally.
These days? Yeah, not so much, but you’ll still see some vitriol towards Eastern Europeans for instance.
But you’ll also see Italians decrying immigrants and how the foreigners are ruining things, and missing the plot.
- Comment on Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg? 1 week ago:
Yup! It’s scrambled by default, the person taking the order just didn’t explain it well. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
- Comment on Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg? 2 weeks ago:
Trying it this weekend! Thank you! Above and beyond!
- Comment on Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg? 2 weeks ago:
That would be incredibly fitting, seeing how much I’ve been downvoted on this, if they had it the whole time, and just couldn’t properly state that the egg was scrambled.
- Comment on Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg? 2 weeks ago:
First: gotcha.
Second. You’re probably right. Asinine? Maybe? And that’s why I posted here. Now I know I don’t need to go there for breakfast sandwiches.
- Comment on Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg? 2 weeks ago:
All these other people are saying it’s all just flash-frozen and warmed up on-site, so half a box of scrambled eggs bricks. :)

- Comment on My mom an old school nurse will stop at traffic accidents and try to help if no one is around, my new school sister nurse won't. Saying everyone is sue happy thesedays. Who is right? 3 weeks ago:
Your sister is going to have a crisis of conscience/faith at some point, since she’s definitely in the wrong career/line of work if she’s a nurse that doesn’t want to help people. If she’s just there for the paycheck, she’s still in the wrong line of work because they don’t get paid enough for what they get put through.
- Comment on Is importing stuff from abroad free from sales tax? 3 weeks ago:
Tariffs.
- Comment on Can I break my sense of taste? 4 weeks ago:
Not technically - it deadens your sense of smell, which affects your sense of taste.
I would say chili peppers can do that, though.
- Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
I figured you could use the water for the pasta too. What’s the worst that happens, it has some tomato in it?
- Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
Still works. Figure out how to peel them (easy way is to toss in boiling water for a few seconds+), dice them up, then use the recipe.
- Comment on How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce? 1 month ago:
It is surprisingly good. Personally we dice the onions and leave them in, and make sure to use San Marzano tomatoes if you can, but the recipe is solid regardless.
- Comment on Was Pedro Pascal objectively "in everything"? 1 month ago:
Samuel L. Jackson would like to have a word.
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 2 months ago:
Varnish. Resin.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
As Ted Breaux showed, the wormwood percentage was overstated and the dangers were overblown.
And OP, there are stateside absinthes you could get that should be legit. Lucid and Jade apparently had Ted as their distiller these days (and if you haven’t read the articles on him, they’re definitely worth reading)
- Comment on What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film? 2 months ago:
Depends on the type of IMAX and movie. For a movie like this, the full dome isn’t as good as the imax 70.
- Comment on What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film? 2 months ago:
Fewer than that. The San Antonio IMAX has had issues and since they no longer make them, may be out of commission forever.
- Comment on When Stephen Colbert had The Colbert Report did the right ever realize he was doing a parody of them? 2 months ago:
INT vs WIS, for the nerds.

YouTube. ofcourseitsgood.com/links

Ukrainian halushki. Its dumplings, frequently served with potatoes
- Comment on Why don't people afraid of AI instead use it while they can to make decent money? 3 months ago:
You assume it’s conscious. It’s autocomplete with a bigger vocabulary.
- Comment on Why has it became usual business for shows people like getting canceled after one season? They don't even have time to flesh out a decent story? Why not let them have at least 3? 3 months ago:
The problem is that the people in charge of the streaming services are very bad at making TV, because their business model is not the same as TVs business model. TVs business model is: sell ads. Run 24 episodes, every episode, build numbers, keep it going. There’s not much brand loyalty, there’s show loyalty.
Streamers care about one thing: getting you to subscribe. The Witcher is a great example. They got a lot of people to subscribe based on season one. Afterwards, all they might be able to use it to get other people to join, and they do, the real money isn’t getting other people to join who’ve never heard of the show, either by advertising for the Witcher, or by moving onto some other property that has a rabid fan base, adapting it, and getting them to join (see also one piece, avatar, etc.). And when they’re waiting for the next season, they find other shows, and are now subscribers for life, and who cares if the next season is 3 years away… or never comes.
- Comment on I went to a zoo today 3 months ago:
Right, because you wanted the experience of feeding the giraffes. That was your benefit from paying the second time. That was entirely optional.
- Comment on Is there music I haven't heard because I only speak English? 4 months ago:
Yes.
Find a community here that has the music style you have & ask.
Go here, campexplorer.io , type in the country name, hit enter, type a genre name, hit enter.
The problem isn’t finding music, it’s finding music you like. Hence finding the communities (or yes, even subreddits) that specialize in it, because Sturgeon’s Law still holds true. I listen to 95% foreign music for the subgenres I like. It’s fine, it’s cool. Some genres are under-represented in some countries - think country-western (USA) for instance.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 4 months ago:
2026: Elder - Through Zero. Heavy Stoner/Psych/Metal 2025: Totorro - Sofa So Good. Upbeat Math Rock. 2024: Alcest - Les Chants de l’Aurore. Shoegaze meets black metal. Minimal screaming.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
As long as YOU don’t ask the sizes and they do, and help her get fitted, it’s fine. You can sit in the chair outside the fitting room and be positive about the outfits you like and that look good on her.
- Comment on Why does Gypsy Rose Blanchard act like a teen? 4 months ago:
Thanks, I saw Rose and Blanchard and thought it was Golden Girls, so was super confused.

Oh, hey dude. Haven’t seen you since our office moved, was wondering how you’ve been doing?!
- Comment on Would it be in bad taste to use D4VID's Romantic Homicide song for a trailer? 5 months ago:
Well, I googled it, and regret that. He appears to be the horriblest of people, if those charges are true. He’s a singer of some sort who killed someone. Just take it at that.
