- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 5 months ago:
Yeah, they’re fine for what they are, but I’ll take that over shitting myself inside out by eating wheat

Domino’s hates selling smalls
Yet that’s the only size they sell their gluten free pies in. I rarely buy from there (my kid considers it a treat) but I hate paying $15 for plain 10" gf pizza that’s mid at best

Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.
Seriously, “y’all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!”
Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it’s warranted, but you’re tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

My favorite fuckery is when Europeans see shit like 25.4mm, 27.2mm or 31.8mm and it’s because of imperial bullshit
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 7 months ago:
By choice, dingus.
I don’t have that option. Big Ole difference. Maybe give everyone Lyme disease so they develop red meat allergies and we can talk
Okay. You want me to double down? I won’t eat at vegan places most of the time. Here’s the thing: vegetables are delicious. So why?
Vegans will support a vegan place no matter what and will talk it up as being amazing even if it sucks. I’ve been burned being told, “oh. That place is so good” and it’s just a matter of vegans circling the wagons and propping up a place that serves a lazy impossible burger with fake plastic cheese on it. Y’all ain’t accountable and it makes it difficult taking vegan food seriously. No wonder y’all’s food has an inferiority complex

I and others are over here with soy, egg and gluten allergies that restrict pretty heavily what I can eat. But go off since you have it all figured out, king.

How often do you assholes move couches? Why do we have to buy these behemoth vehicles for rare maximal use cases?
- Comment on acceptable screws 8 months ago:
JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.
I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)
- Comment on acceptable screws 8 months ago:
No mention of JIS which is yet another “fuck Phillips” argument

These… weren’t Brian’s books
- Comment on The later books are really something 9 months ago:
Messiah is good Children is decent but spotty God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.
The last couple are kind of forgettable.
The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer
The legends books are garbage
The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.
I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome
Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens

Some of that shit is fucking dangerous. At the height of the EPO (EPO being a hormone which increases red blood cell production and makes the chuckledick system more efficient) era of pro cycling, the rumor was some pros had to wake up in the middle of the night and get on a trainer because they’d gotten their blood so viscous that they risked getting clots of they stayed in one spot too long.
Also, if you do it wrong you’ll absolutely fuck yourself up. Riccardo Ricco Basically gave himself kidney failure because he infused blood which he’d kept in fucking mini fridge.
It’s not like elite athletes aren’t already on weird shit normal people would never consider… they’re on plenty of gear but what’s allowed is already regulated. A lot of pros toe the line, some in better faith than others

I don’t really follow or care about basketball, but I grew up during the showtime era and had a relative in LA. Bird was feared. Every so often I’ll disappear down a YouTube rabbit hole about him. Dude ruled

No one necessarily wanted the same shit again. Fans just wanted something good that wasn’t a cobbled together mess
- Comment on ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+ 1 year ago:
To build on this now we also have a Super Skrull with capt Marvel’s powers and those of a several other superheros/villains.
(Or was I the only one able to make it through Secret Invasion?)
Also, I never watched the Ms. Marvel show, so I have absolutely no opinion or frame of reference for that now supposedly marquee character so I’m just not all that drawn to watching it. Plus… super hero fatigue

- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
When Isreal openly advocates for Jews of other nationalities to come illegally occupy land that has supposedly been set aside for Palestinians they’re doing so to displace and replace them. How many resolutions about Palestine have been vetoed by only the US and Isreal with the rest of the world unilaterally telling Israel to cut it out? Shit, this one is from 7 years ago
What Isreal is doing is genocide. I don’t for a minute condone all the methods Hamas is employing, but what’s happening is a predictable response from an increasingly desperate people

You go to the hospital and get a bill that puts you into debt for the rest of your life. Maybe you do a crowdfunding campaign to cover part of it
- Comment on We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general 1 year ago:
My question is why you don’t have your own instance set up the way you want. You seem to know what you want and have a myriad of opinions. Then again, if you had your own airtight instance who are you going to go histrionic on bickering about ideological purity so you feel better about yourself?
You started off amusing and silly but now you’re boring and honestly kind of gross with no sense of self awareness whatsoever. You and tankies both seem to have that in common.
I think I’m gonna exercise the block function a bit more. Seeyas

Jesus Christ, dude. I’ve blocked all the tankie subs when they render in my feed, but you’ve got me wanting to call you comrade. Smoke some weed and go outside for a while
