- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 4 days ago:
There is no etiquette. That’s a flawed argument.
The seats are designed the way they are by the airlines. They allow the minimum amount of space for the maximum amount of money.
The airlines could make all seats non-reclining with very little effort. But they would lose money because non-reclining seats would be a dealbreaker to a small but not insignificant number of customers…me for one.
The airlines could also make seats more comfortable and reclinable by allowing more space for each seat. But they would lose money because they would sell less seats.
The seats recline the small amount they do because of the natural equilibrium that the market allows between comfort and profit. End of story.
You peasants arguing about which other peasant is a terrible person are blaming the wrong people.
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 5 days ago:
I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.
The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 5 days ago:
This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.
It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.

I mean I used to regularly have a Cuba Libre made with Caffeine Free Coke Zero. I’d definitely say it has a use; rum and Coke with lime after a nice dinner is fucking delicious, and the zero caffeine doesn’t keep me awake at night.
I haven’t seen Caffeine Free Coke Zero in any of my local stores for years so I’ll be on the lookout for this new “zero caffeine, zero sugar” version.
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 2 weeks ago:
Yeah you would need like 99.9% of the drivers in the US to agree to this. I don’t think you could even get 70% of the selfish fucks on our roads to do this. Guaranteed 3 out of 10 cars would wonder why everyone else is a bunch of losers and head straight down the middle, which would never actually exist in the first place because 7 out of 10 cars being considerate is nowhere near enough…
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
Just drink water. You’ve ruined yourself over all these years by drinking juice/soda/Brawndo. You keep buying into the lie that “you don’t like water”.
You’ll get used to it and eventually come to want water. It’s literally what your body craves. Humans have existed for 300 millenia; mass produced sugary drinks have only existed for what, 100 years? You’ve evolved to drink water.

I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.
- Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do? 1 month ago:
I feel like an intrusive thought would be more like wondering if you should intentionally drop your phone to see what happens.
Worrying about dropping your phone is actually smart and not intrusive. It’s very pragmatic to be concerned about the possibility of an accident and to try to prevent it. Some people don’t have enough of those thoughts…
- Comment on We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast? 1 month ago:
As a few others have mentioned here… it’s because they were black.
I’ve personally witnessed a racist try to explain to an South Asian friend of mine that he was “OK” because there’s black people and everyone else. I was flabbergasted because this wasn’t some nazi skinhead or something, but instead was an older white gentleman.
All racism is bad. But there’s racism, and then there’s racism in the USA towards black people, which unless you’ve witnessed it, it’s hard to understand how it is a whole other level of racism.

This scene got me so scared and I was sure Freddy was under my bed later that night and I went to my Mom’s room and barfed on her from fear.

- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 2 months ago:
Same. I don’t want to sound cliche but yeah. E.T.
And there are people saying that they immediately knew it was bad. When I was 12 I would play any video game for as long as I could. And I remember screen after screen of just terrible, unimaginative redundant gameplay and wondering if I was doing it wrong…

Oh for sure…fasting is waaay easier. That’s kinda my point. Fasting is literally not eating.
Unfortunately you can’t just do it forever. Well I mean, you can…

Addicted to alcohol: Stop drinking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to cigarettes: Stop smoking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to crack: Stop smoking crack. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to food: Must be your fault for being weak-willed. Just don’t consume so much of that thing that you’re addicted to. You can control your addiction. Just stop being a loser…
The literal solution to every addiction is stop it, cold turkey. One Day At A Time. But you can’t stop eating food. You’ll die.
So it’s as if an alcoholic has to constantly have just a little alcohol. Or a crackhead has to keep smoking crack, but only every once in a while. No problem, just control yourself…
I’m sure telling people that they’re pieces of shit for eating food will fix the problem, eventually. We just have to try a little harder.

Every fat person on earth already knows that too much food makes you fat.
Yet somehow, even armed with this knowledge, we’re all fat.
Curious.

Ummm…deliver better pears to the grocery store and I’ll buy some every week.
I’ve had delicious, refreshing pears. So I know they can be good.
Most of the pears in US grocery stores are dry grainy garbage. Like 80-90% of the time.
The apple people figured it out. No one wants dry-ass mushy Red Delicious garbage apples. Now I can buy Cosmic Crisp or Envy apples and they are always consistently sweet, tart, juicy, and crisp. And guess what? I buy dem shits every week.
Figure it out pear people. Get on it.

Nope. Did not like. Insurrection and Nemesis are nigh unwatchable to me.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I’m beginning to think that the number of people that just can not feel empathy is way higher than most people thought.
I always assumed that a complete lack of empathy was associated with an actual psychiatric disorder. But that’s the crux of what’s happening on the world today, isn’t it? A huge percentage of the populace are literally just completely incapable of feeling empathy for their fellow humans. And they’re mad that they’ve been told that they have to, ya know, care about other people.

I had balut in the Philippines when I visited around 2008.
Not my favorite thing to eat, but I could see how some people like it.
If you ever get to the Philippines give it a try! Ask for the “young” balut so it’s more like an egg and less like a baby duck.
