Eh, I believe there is a certain audience who also believe Birmingham is now part of the Birmingharam Caliphate, and that’s who will believe this nonsense.

They don’t even have coherent plans yet… There’s stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls They got AI to design it? Who the fuck let Trump have access to AI?

I still think the ABCDF system sounds so… childish? But presented like that I can see how it makes sense. I always thought about more absolute systems as more, eh, honest? More of an absolute value of our worth, but in truth it depends completely on our teachers, so it’s not really any “truer” than the letter system. Just a different bias.
I’m glad there are so many interesting answers in this thread :) - Comment on 3 days ago:
I’m a 46 year old French man, and thanks to my family and travels I’ve tasted a variety of mayonnaises, all across the spectrum and a lot of the industrial stuff just tastes awful. They add so many preservatives in order to make it shelf stable, it completely loses any hint of the original flavour.
You can make fresh mayo with an egg yellow, some oil, a dash of vinegar / lemon juice (something acidic, really) and some mustard. Mostly you beat it until you’ve the desired texture and that’s about it! Even just this, you’ll have people arguing endlessly about which oil, which acid, which mustard, which proportions, etc :,D
Hellmann’s isn’t completely terrible, mind you. It was the usual stuff you’d get in Ireland when I lived there, and it was okay. But there were much tastier brands available. And when I’m in France, even industrial brands, we have much better alternatives :P
I reckon Vietnam must have the same issue as we had in China : it’s too damn hot! And since real mayo is uncooked egg yellow it’s super bad to keep it at room temperature for too long. I never bought any while living there, because it wasn’t in my shops and I just adapt to whatever people eat locally, but sometimes when I ordered pizza they would have “mayo” sprinkled on top and although it was delicious, the fact it was sweet makes me think it had nothing to do with the original stuff :P

That’s not mayonnaise. Stop calling it mayonnaise.

That’s a bit more my vibe, yeah.

Haha, yeah, if you actually look at how much you earn vs how much you actually work (quality of life), some trades like electrician or plumbers are so much better off than my doctor wife, it’s not even funny :/

I assure you that’s not how it works in Europe. Nowhere near as bad as the US, in any case.
I guess that’s what happens when education is deeply ingrained in the culture. - Comment on Anon studies Organic Chemistry 3 days ago:
I keep reading about people grading on a curve and I still can’t grasp what that means. Do those teachers have like a set number of A B C, or whatever, they can give out? And if they’ve run out of A then you get a B? And if the B run out you get a C and so on? That seems a completely intellectually bankrupt practice! If you don’t want more than X people passing, then just grade people with percentages and let only the first X highest through and that’s it, but don’t lie with fake grades! How insane…

Same reason China didn’t deploy Beijing troops to handle the students back in the day…
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 3 weeks ago:
Given the usual missions I’ve seen the National Guard deployed for, I would actually give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are actually good willed people. Which makes the whole situation all the more deplorable and Trump all the more of an evil cunt. Hopefully he gets hoisted by his own petard.

They have those deployable fast food restaurants and by god they will use them.

I had tires on my seats without seat belts last time. Fifteen fucking minutes of ringing. At least I know to put them tyres their seat belts on for next time, I can promise you that.

The alcohol just removes all filters. So yes, you wanted to sleep, but at normal times you’d be too embarassed to not sleep in your bed. With alcohol, it’s sleepy time, you sleep and that wheelbarrow looks a lot more inviting than the floor.

Yes! I clearly remember reading about that one, but it was Japan. Something about being summoned and if you ain’t on time, well, clearly you are a traitor and it means death. They get late so they decide to just go with the flow. I looked it up but no luck :/

Aye, like wearing a cool metal shirt and getting the horns from a complete stranger. We do like our tribe(s), don’t we?
- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 5 weeks ago:
Fair-play to you for a thoughtful answer. Much appreciated and it certainly matches my personal experience.
As I said somewhere else : seeing my mates being all up in arms about ManU when they live in fecking Donegal was always funny to me, but I totally see the social aspect.
So much banter at the pub! If there is a thing the Irish love, it’s a good banter.Shame about the assholes who use it as an excuse to get into fights. Fecking idiots the lot of them.
- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 5 weeks ago:
Hey, no hate on people loving sports!
My point was it’s super clear why a teenager wants to thirst on a pretty woman playing vidya.
Now, my irish mates all having their club and being all very serious about it, when they’ll curse the English in the same sentence has always been hilarious to me.
And I’m talking people from fecking Donegal, who lived through the Troubles and shit. Never understood that one. - Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 5 weeks ago:
I’ve no difficulty understanding lads being thirsty and attracted by a lovely lady who appears to be into gaming and hey, you can even interact and try to get her attention!
Now, explain to me lads getting super invested in some lads running around a field chasing a ball. Like, literally having their lives revolve around it, their identity entirely centered on it. Now that’s a complete mystery to me.
