  I’ll be honest, it’s pretty hit and miss. You get someone just throwing diced avo on toast, and it’s pretty mid. But you go to a place that seasons it, includes grilled onion and peppers, uses high-quality sourdough bread, and covers it in bacon and a fried egg? One of the best things I’ve eaten. And one of the messier.

  Yeah, I’ve always thought trucks are dumb, but the bus and my bike can’t pull my boat, and I live on island, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deserved honestly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if they were trying to flirt, being told repeatedly not to do something that they keep doing anyway is not flirting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Diaphragms are a form of birth control. They are making a joke by deliberating misinterpreting the specific meaning of the word used in an absurdist way, in the Mad Hatter style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard choice to make⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just bought a house with an attached 1-bedroom apartment (with its own address). My 11-year-old daughter has already laid claims to taking it when she graduates high school. So I don’t think she’s feeling stifled at all, lol.

  Better be prepared to pay rent if she’s not in school come the fall after high school, though (I’ll give her the summer to get her plans worked out).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, that list (aro and “black-pilled”) was not all-inclusive. There are plenty of people who just don’t want to date, for whatever positive reason (e.g. too busy, focusing on other things, not feeling like making the effort) or even some with negative reasons (e.g. not feeling like they are in good working order mentally, just got out of a relationship and want to spend some time on their own, trauma) that aren’t aro or “black-pilled.” THIS LIST IS ALSO NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE.

  Also:

  You’re a bigot.

  Just… don’t. Stop throwing the word around so spuriously, or it could lose its meaning. It’s an important word, and using it like that leads to the kind of linguistic drift that takes the meaning out of the language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is very obviously not what anyone is saying. Not dating because you are not interested in dating is different than not dating because you’re down on yourself and blame the world (and those of the gender you find attractive) for creating your situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you know the answer to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oatmeal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Butter croissant actually seems like a decent name for a guinea pig.

  If we’re including drinking, coffee is a pretty good name, but not for such a light colored guinea pig.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We live wasted lives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So funny enough, as an American, I have the majority of that while being in the military. We even currently have three months of maternity and paternity leave, which can be used as the member sees fit through the first year after birth.

  All except the privacy laws and employee protection laws, though it can often be exceptionally difficult to fire people for reasons that don’t involve the politics of the people in charge. And even then, lawsuits usually get those people backpay.

  I’d be advocating for the US Coast Guard with this right now, but the current administration is shifting our focus from being a life-saving/preserving service to another border control agency, so… not a great time to be joining if it’s for moral reasons. sigh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm very Jesus-like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that for the past ten thousand years, everyone should have lived in constant misery, thinking of nothing but the suffering of innocents, without a moment to spare for joy or silliness?

  Or are you trying to twist their words to suggest that the suffering of innocents now isn’t important because it’s been happening for 10k years? Because that was clearly not the message being made. The closest I could imagine is they may be pointing out that some treat pointing out innocents suffering as a fad, where people all of a sudden care and can’t believe that anyone else can do or care about anything else (and will burn out and stop caring once the fad is done, whether the issue has been resolved or not).

  Either way, if you spend your whole time doomscrolling and never leave yourself a space for moth memes (or whatever), you will be no help to anyone and live in impotent misery.

  Basically, moth memes are self care.

  Yeah, so you set your standards higher because you’re not on your own anymore, and you realize living in filth is unacceptable.

  (My brother is like that. A mess by himself, but remarkably clean and responsible whenever he’s in a relationship)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shhhhh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our combination microwave/air fryer/oven has this cool function where after the timer hits 0 but before it beeps, it keeps turning until it is back in the original position (so if you have, for example, a coffee cup in there, the handle will face the same direction as it did when put in. That buffer to pull it out without beeping was kind of amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a whole section to each DQ for Regional Menu. Some places will have Steak Fries, or… I can’t remember what else. In the North West (US) we had Ultimates and Deluxe burgers, which were the smaller patties (want to say 1/6lb), american cheese, and thousand island dressing (Ultimates were doubles and had bacon as well).

  When I was at DQ School in Minneapolis, i got to meet store managers and owners from all over, and it was really interesting to learn all the regional fare (and apparently South American DQs, at least then, were purely Treat Centers, which is what I imagine OP was assuming they’d all be).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is entirely different store to store. The one I managed and our sister store (owned by the same family) used a conveyer belt style flame broiler (automatic broiler). Far more consistent and less labor intensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re certainly not ice cream/soft serve stores, but here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny enough, the milk they use (at least the supplier to the store I managed) is nonfat milk. So the first listed ingedient is nonfat milk, and the second is milk fat, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One side it trying to force them to choose a side. It is up to adults to say “this is between us, and our relationship doesn’t change your relationships.”

  OP could be very supportive of their mother and still not want to move out of the home they already lived in. But it doesn’t sound like the mom wants to let OP do that.

  Also, from their other comments, their father has been more supportive through their life while their mom has been cold and judgemental. Trying to force her child into a position whete they are expected to mete out judgement as well just emphasizes that they aren’t terribly concerned with the well-being of their child.

  And anyway, if you want support, you should give support. And OPs mom missed that boat, so it makes sense for OP to stay with the parent who supported them.

  It’s not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

  So… boiled vegetables. That’s still already a thing. Not a particularly good thing (to my tastes), but been a thing for a long time.

  “I need to improve myself” or “I’m just not his/her type I’ll find someone.”

  Hm… the only thing I can remember thinking after having been rejected was “phew, that didn’t work out, but glad I tried!” and moved on with my life. That… might be more to do with the general dissociation that I’m starting to realize has been a major theme in my life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cigarettes and coffee, man. The diner I used to go to (20+ years ago) had a single “non-smoking” table in the middle of the restaurant, the tar turned the walls yellowish (it was a 24 hour diner and closed once a year for a few days to deep clean the place), and there was always a haze. I didn’t smoke personally, but I spent a lot of time there.

  When the smoking ban hit, it hit that place hard. A few weeks after it went into effect, I went there and thought they had changed the coffee they used because it wasn’t nearly as good. I asked the waitress, and she said it was the same, you just didn’t have all the cigarette smoke to go with it anymore. Turns out they used the exact same coffee as every other diner in town, they just had a constant nicotine-laced aromatics to go with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I (also military) used to grab a cup of coffee and bring it out whenever the smokers went out (though I had to start doing half a cup, because the smokers took a lot of breaks).

  Then one chief established there would be no more “smoke breaks” for the smokers, but everyone would get regular breaks (and the smokers could take theirs outside). People (including the smokers who had been taking breaks all along) started making jokes about taking their “union mandated” breaks. And the smokers just went out twice as often.
