• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who disliked celery in the past, I still find it enriches vegetable soups a lot. And by now I actually like the taste of cooked(!) celery. So yes, I would say most people just like it.

  Are you feeling offended by the meme? Because I am not, and I appreciate the joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where? Since when is self-depreciating humor a bad thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only thanks to idiots and narcissists are so many using America synonymously with todays shithole totalitarian regime between Canada and Mexico. As the preposter said, let’s not play into that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  a company worth 1 million is basically a 1-5 person office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  out of the four? There’s Northern Northern (Canada), Middle Northern (shithole), and Southern Northern (Mexico). And of course all of Southern.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bread mold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For marmelade / jam / jelly it depends on the sugar contents. I don’t know how much it has to be but if it has high enough sugar contents, you can indeed take off the mould generously and eat what is under it. That said - gross! Just don’t let foods spoil. Buy what you need and plan ahead a bit.

  You can watch the gears in this idiot’s head turning, that’s how dense he is. this fragile little thing is sadly real and no one is putting it into the medical/psych care that it would need to recover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Propain⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, I came to complain this was missing

  Yeah those two will definitely be disappointed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aeroplane⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s a newer 737, it is already a very expensive wreck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Diabolical, original and harmless (kinda) - I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get over yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nuances to everything. My oldest “heteronormative” friend and I sometimes call each other honey and blow a kiss into the air, without being serious about it nor meaning it to mock people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get over yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You must be young still. I don’t deny that - as you say - in school being perceived as gay was kind of bad / an insult, but that was us growing up in an atmosphere of toxic masculinity. I have matured beyond that and would laugh at such a prank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get over yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the opposite of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get over yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Men are not afraid of being perceived as gay. Only insecure weirdos that need therapy are afraid of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never buying milk from Walmart again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is how expiration dates usually work for anything moist/liquid/perishable. You open it and then you should consume it within a short time. Typically a few days at most, bit more for marmalade.

  Reason: food contains microbes/spores. Preservation processes slow down growth, and/or reduce initial amount, but not to zero. Microorganisms in food grow exponentially over time, and the best before date is a statistically determined date by which 99.x% of food samples are still good to eat if unopened. Open it, and you expose the food to the much higher load of microbial life from ambient air and whatever you stick in there (spoon, butter knife, drink from the bottle). Boom, microbial growth explodes and food perishes within a short period.

  Same goes for interrupting a cooling chain or exposing e.g. milk to sunlight.

  interesting… If I have to leave the house on time, shower is the actual wake-up call for me. Alarm is just to get me to sleep walk into the shower

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨card game shop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait - if you don’t shower every day, how do you wake up fully? :p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Whatever it was the people doing it deserve a more brain-stimulating job. If things are repetetive in a desk job, chances are that a lot can be automated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for typing out ny thought about this. /a SW dev.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This here is one likely answer. One other (less likely) might be insurance, although I would have to strain my imaginatiom quite a bit to come up with an explanation that nakes insurance a good reason to do this for a christmas party vs. a regular drive to work. Maybe they want to prevent “fraternization” by making clear “we know where your rental cars will spend the night”? ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even assuming your observation was universally true (which I doubt, I firmly believe people can irreversibly deteriorate) - there are circumstances that can prevent you from reaching people. To name the immediate two that come to mind:

  • lack of “alone” time that they will spend with you due to family / spouses / jobs
  • you simply do not find the key (again, assuming it exists) to “peel back” their layer of anger and frustration that clouds their objectiveness
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gen X here, sadly can confirm :( I see what used to be friends turn into selfish people, ignorant derps or conspiracy/russia shills. Or a combination thereof. It’s depressing to watch this process up close and have no antidote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great business idea, tbh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That has got to be a deeply sarcastic joke, hasn’t it?

  I think I just had a brain aneurism reading that :p
