Mark the Super Bowl on your calendar (if you are in the US) because it is the best time to go to most stores.
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 3 weeks ago:
In the US very few employers in licensed trades are willing to apprentice anyone anymore so it can be difficult to find your way in

I’d rather watch kids falling off of bikes

Side note, PBA has probably the coolest mascot in all of US colleges! The burrowing owl, an endangered owl that is not only native to Florida but lives on the campus! I know you know that, but for everyone else it’s worth knowing and looking up some pictures.
You could also make an argument for UC Santa Cruz

congrats on being the millionth person in this thread including the original artist to not know that words can have one meaning in a scientific context and another different meaning in a culinary context
here’s some more that will blow your mind, peanuts aren’t nuts, peanut butter isn’t butter, starfish aren’t fish, wow much learn

ugh

The other side of this term is that the banana is the largest herb; the banana tree is the tallest plant that doesn’t produce wood
Of course mixing up culinary and botany meanings deliberately is dumb and leads to people saying things like “a tomato is a fruit” and “a strawberry isn’t a berry” those people can go produce their own wood if you know what I mean
- Comment on Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees. 5 weeks ago:
What makes the Bible such a great tool for controlling the masses is that you can take out of it whatever message you want and it’ll be valid and defensible. While at times Jesus was straight up communist he also said
But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
That’s not even counting all the unhinged violence in the OT

- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 1 month ago:
I know “America Bad” is popular on the Internet but it’s not always true. The ADA was among the first laws worldwide to treat disability rights as full civil rights across nearly all areas of public life, including employment, private businesses, public spaces, and transportation, and it went on to inspire other countries to pass similar sweeping laws. Also worth noting it was signed into law by a Republican weirdly enough. Not sure that would happen today.
If you want to say that the broader social safety net including healthcare in America sucks though, and by extension harms disabled people, I can’t really argue with that. But the ADA is excellent and groundbreaking.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is legitimately the best in the world and other first world countries wish they treated disabled people as well as America

- Comment on Exclusive Update On The ‘Star Trek: Year One’ Series Pitch And Status Of The ‘Strange New Worlds’ Sets 1 month ago:
When I was younger and TNG was coming out, I thought “oh wow this is so cool, every 20 years we go another 100 years into the future of Star Trek!” And here we are almost 40 years later, still rehashing the same characters from the same eras over and over. The only breath of fresh air is the last bit of Discovery and Starfleet Academy. Give me a flagship show set in the 26th century or a show about the Temporal Cold War. Something new!

Madoff only went to prison because he stole from rich people. Stealing from regular people is basic business practice

Haven’t sorted laundry in like 20 years at least. If I get a brand new pair of jeans or something like that I’ll separate it for a load or two but that’s it.

Has no one ever been in a forest before? Trees 100% grow all up into each other all the time. They compete for sunlight and try to choke each other out by design. These pictures honestly don’t look real

Then it’s fake in a way that The Old Man and the Sea is fake in that it’s a story that reflects on what it’s like to be human
- Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron 2 months ago:
I had a corporate job where I never interacted with customers and I was salaried and my boss would still keep Teams up on his computer all the time and come and check in on my cubicle if I wasn’t showing available on Teams exactly at 7:30 in the morning. I got lectured once for showing up at 7:35. Not late to any meetings, not late on “deliverables”, etc. Just not “professional” enough for him. I have no doubt believing this post.
