  Oooooooh…

  And now I’m even more confused.

  I can’t believe eggs come in that size, are.for regular customers, and there’s plenty missing. My household couldn’t get through a quarter of that before they went off. You’d want to be freezing them—which makes for shit egg cooking later—or just really fuckin’ love eggs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a photo of irony.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed a person crashed into the school while starting a lesson. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the lesson made them worse. This is more that It’s like rai-e-aaaain!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, it roll much easier off my tongue much easierthan “pet peeve.”

  I’m reminded of this legendary bit.

  English by country or region is a bit of a hoot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw, manggg. But I just upgraded to Linux last week’s. Shoot…

  Back to being treated like an idiot, force fed bloat, having no control over my own PC, and taking four steps to get everything done but often ending up down a rabbit hole of 19 step troubleshooting just to say, “Fuck it! Fine! I’ll accept the new feature” then being toured on the new feature after it crashes first then won’t let you login, but finally you do and THEN you’ve got your file open but forget what for by then, all the while it’s notifying you of updates constantly but you won’t run them because noticed it’s contains the AMD driver which is the old one so Adrenaline will stop working but that also means Windows somehow undid the group policy fucking around you had to do has somehow been undone and they say Linux is hard.while.Windows thinks I’m the fucking idiot and- RAAARRRGH!!!

  snaps back

  Huh, sorry. I get flashbacks still. The doctors say with the right therapy, I’ll be better in a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think 'peeve’is more American because it’s modern American-informal from ‘peevish’ so it’s not caught on much in other countries. You’d probably.also be confused by ‘pet aversion’ which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet hate. People That Type Like This, Causing The Inner Dialogue To Jar Each Word And Confuse Titles And Names Amongst Regular Words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relatable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.

  I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Episode Releases Are an Outdated, Frustrating Way to Watch TV⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weekly people can watch them once a week. The rest must watch them once a week, build a buffer, or just wait for the season, while avoiding spoilers for the latter two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I will. I’m getting along in years and am about to pick up split boarding for backcountry. I could learn to just ski, but I’ve lived life surfing and skating, so I picked up snowboarding real fast and been doing that a while now.

  Kinda always been into the idea of towing with a snow mobile too, so maybe I can afford that around then haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t act your age. Get to a point where you’re so dismissive of your age you have to think hard about what your age actually is.

  If I stopped and started doing things based on what I’m meant to do at an age, I’d be a miserable piece of shit. I just do and think what I want. When I’m 60, I’ll still be learning and doing what I want because I rejected the idea that I’m too old or too young for something.

  Rather than setting sights on what you want to achieve, set sights on what you never want to become. The rest just flows around that and happiness is always there because you’ve identified what unhappiness is and stayed clear of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favorite B-Movies?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just watched Buckaroo Bonzai having heard nothing about it. Fucking brilliant movie. I need to watch it again now that I know what I’m in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pre burn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s 13,310 eggs per second continuously for 48 hours.

  It’s Facebook Messenger for me. It’s impossible to get everyone to shift. Many of us have had Signal for years.

  When I was a kid, every time I tried to draw something it just ended up being a dick and balls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect their performance is disappointing experience. Though, there would be at least one person out there that would be into being a part of…whatever this is.

  OP can count to eight!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the person who winks the Winkor and the person who receives the wink the Winkee ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  -ar is a person that does a thing. -er is a person that does action of a thing. A winkar in practice is a winker, but a winker isn’t necessarily a winkar.

  But a winkee is definitely someone subjected to a wink, whether by a winkar or a just a normal person winking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but Paul kind of ruined Greece via Thessaloniki and Korinthos. Granted, the social hierarchy around the old gods backed by “the one true God for all” Christian narrative sure made it easy to turn common Greeks against their ancient culture and religion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just racial stereotypes but it’s funny because the words Donald John Trump are randomly at the top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? “Winning” what exactly? Reid Hoffman’s trying to be the best at being the most miserable and unfulfilled. The most regrets on his death bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I work in statistics and we never use girl of woman, only female. The line is vastly different in age and meaning depending on culture, religion, law, or heritage. Even in western societ, 13, 16, 18, and 21 are all valid before tipping to 40, 50, 60, 65, 68, and 70 where the term can be prefixed with some form of adjective.

  It’s old-fashioned. Just say female and every culture/society understands you without confusion or insult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wearing something in the sauna is kind of gross. Like, you put on spare shorts, get them totally drenched in sweat, then take them off and store them in a garbage bag or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to coding, I see center as a position and centre as an object. But for the most part, I find US spelling to be lazy spelling for poor pronunciation. Like people just started saying the word wrong and rather than fixing that, just started spelling it wrong too.

  Aluminium is prob the weirdest. Like everything on the periodic table ending with -ium; the Latin morpheme in chemistry. But the US just-…like, how?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future of driving⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And screens have become popular because people think they’re fancy, hi-tech, expensive. But ironically they’re cheap and nasty. They are much cheaper to make than haptics, knobs, dials, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flushing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I first went to eastern Europe, I was confused why there were signs saying to not flush paper down the toilet. Like, obviously. That’s for body waste and TP only.

  “Paper” means “toilet paper”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's just eccentric⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, right?! Glad you agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's just eccentric⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “affirmed of the position that the term is used”

  Yrp, you’re underscoring one of my tangent points. I couldn’t be bothered making more text in the one comment, but also figured if the comment was too long, it’d get a bunch of people jumping on me before they could manage to finish it. Alas, never avoidable. So, thanks 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't solve the captcha because I don't know what `undefined` is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that’d be all of the tiles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's just eccentric⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As the years go on, I’m more affirmed of the position that the term ‘autism’ is used to explain every day behaviours, but by below average IQ people. They’re both cognitive spectrums, after all. But even experts of the latter struggle to define it.

  It’s why more and more we hear, “Well I guess everyone’s a little on the spectrum.” So if it’s normal, not being so is not normal.

  I think, “The average person isn’t below average” is synonymously more true—obviously—in context of cognitive application.

  At this rate the modern, “Haha! NERD!!!” aka. “autistic” will be someone that folds washing or can’t socially explain the Dunning-Kruger effect to a person that thinks it’s European Ben & Jerry’s, entirely missing the critique on their education in politics being from X.

  My drunken point is, who the fuck doesn’t like sorting wires? You ever dealt with those messy things?! Only an idiot wouldn’t.
