Oh yeah, I’ve got mud daubers, too. They’re cool; they don’t mess with me, and I don’t mess with them. It’s really just those big, red assholes (and the occasional yellow jacket) that are problematic.
- Comment on Wasps 1 week ago:
I’m fine with bugs that don’t bother me. Around my house, I’ve got a ton of red paper wasps. They’re assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.
- Comment on Anon watches romance anime 1 week ago:
If you insist on it being a girl, then yeah, it’s too late. Adult relationships have their own brand of sweet and romantic.

I don’t feel tardy.

He’s got everyone coming to his desk for the birds and the bees. Not bad.
- Comment on Anon wants to ride a zeppelin 5 weeks ago:
I just thought it was funny. It’s the kind of thing I might say myself, and then immediately poke fun at myself.
- Comment on Anon wants to ride a zeppelin 5 weeks ago:
literally a metaphorical

What’s a milk drinker like you doing out here? Go home to your mother.
- Comment on This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ 5 weeks ago:
It is tacky to leave the sticker on there with the lower price, but you are the one who paid 12£. How does it matter what they paid? If they search for books to resell at a profit, that’s time spent and money earned.
- Comment on Pray they don't alter it any further 1 month ago:
I do the same. It’s just not worth dealing with the ever-increasing shittiness of streaming services.

Science is blue (dark blue, if given the option).
Math is red or black.
English is green.
Social studies is yellow.
Everything else goes in whatever is left.

But they wanted to feel smugly superior! Poor fella can’t even be pedantic properly…

I’m guessing you missed where that was stated in the image.

Are there doctors and scientists recommending people NOT to take it?
There are morons in every field. We can’t just look at the outliers.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 2 months ago:
Spoon out sugar, spoon out flour, pour in milk, pour in oil, drop bits of other things in until you get to the weight needed. Even if you wash all of the spoons, it’s easier than measuring cups. At worst, you still use a measuring cup or two, but still fewer than before.
Look, I was with you until recently, but your argument really has no leg to stand on.

- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 2 months ago:
I’m happy that you don’t need it, but some of us like better precision. Plus, it’s convenient to put a mixing bowl on a scale and add things by weight, rather than using numerous measuring cups.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 2 months ago:
Precision. Volume varies by how tightly something is packed, how finely something is diced, etc. I’ve seen recipes that recommend spooning flour into the measuring cup to ensure it’s not packed in tightly, so you don’t use too much. How much simpler is it to just weigh it?
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 2 months ago:
As an American who has recently learned to love his scale, I’m with you 100%.

- Comment on Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs 2 months ago:
Oh, for sure. I don’t think he’s necessarily a bad person, he’s just not particularly likeable anymore. Maybe it’s age, or what life has thrown his way, but his personality no longer seems as appealing. That’s the main thing he had going for him, imo.
- Comment on Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs 2 months ago:
I really only liked Will Smith as an actor because he seemed to be a likeable person. Now I know better.

House centipede. It may, possibly, be hellspawn.
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook and Auto-Replies 3 months ago:
This is a clear case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” Some people will complain, either way. Personally, I prefer the current implementation.
- Comment on temperature 3 months ago:
Most people are inherently biased towards their chosen system. A “water scale” doesn’t make sense to fahrenheit users, and a “human scale” is dismissed as even existing by the Celsius users. But hey, if you want to fight, have at it. It’s annoying and pointless, but that’s what the internet is for.

I typically assume it’s a non-native speaker with things like this, but I’m not sure in this case.
