  I like spicy things. I eat spicy things all the time. One time maybe 10 years ago I ate a “stinger” pie from a pizza place. It was a pizza with hot peppers and hot pepper oil. It was so spicy and so so good.

  The events that occurred in the next 24 hours were something to behold. I was sitting on the toilet, sweating, shaking, and making my peace with God. It was an all day event. Full throttle.

  Since then, my intestinal fortitude has been severely diminished. I have to be careful about eating things too spicy or it will mess me up. It’s like I built up a thick intestinal lining over years and years, and this one event tore down the walls. They were blasted out.

  Life has not been the same.

  Who the fuck has you keep your shoes on? I keep mine on, but if somebody comes over and asks if they should take their shoes off I just say “whatever makes you comfortable. On or off, doesn’t matter to me”

  That’s weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the person you are responding to, but I am a fellow shoes-oner. I find the soles of my shoes to be way more comfortable than walking on the ground. Like I go to shoes-off homes and they have these foam mats on the floor in their kitchen and it’s like “imagine those foam mats were on the bottom of your feet and went with you everywhere”. Additionally I live in a place where it gets cold. Cold feet suck.

  Now before the “well then wear slippers” gang comes in. I have tried that. The soles of slippers pale in comparison to whatever the fuck my Allbirds are made out of. Additionally, slippers are often TOO warm. I don’t want cold feet, but I also don’t want sweaty feet.

  If I have to wear boots or larger/warmer shoes because of snow/rain, I will absolutely take those off at the door. But when I take them off, I am putting on my Allbirds.

  For me, ultimate foot comfort is my sneakers. I’ll take my shoes off if you have a shoes off home, but I’m not going to enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bears or no bears?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. There’s also no penguins in the arctic. But there are penguins in Antarctica. I wonder if the was penguins in the north originally, but the bears ate them all. And the only reason the continue to exist in Antarctica is because there aren’t bears to eat them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can still smell them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there was even one more evolution where the plastic caps came in a strip instead of a ring. The strip was put in a magazine that slid into the bottom of the pistol. Most of them just moved the strip up as they fired, but if I recall correctly there were even ones that cut each cap off individually after firing it and ejected it like an empty shell. Awful for litter, but pretty cool for cap gun technology. I am pretty sure all of this stuff has been banned where I live.

  Lobsters and Crabs are 100% giant sea insects. Shrimp are basically giant sea gnats. They are tasty and provide nutrients. No problem there. Plenty of cultures eat land insects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🍺 🍻⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve learned recently that “Vegetable” is kind of like that too. Like most vegetables are fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, etc etc. Vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one, and it’s still foggy. It’s basically a plant that isn’t sweet, but they also call sweet corn a vegetable so whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hate being that guy, but it’s “Hi, kids” not “Hey, kids”. It’s actually integral to the rhyme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hah. Remember in the Xbox 360 era when everything looked like it was wrapped in saran wrap? I hated that so much. It’s like - some if not most objects are not that reflective. Yes light bounces off of things, but it’s such an “all or none” solution. Things in real life are so much more diffused.

  I got in trouble in Middle School for printing out an entire FF6 guide from GameFAQs. It had all of the items and their stats, all of the spells, espers, maps etc. It was absolutely massive and the administration was not happy about me using all of that paper and toner. Already printed it, sucks to be them. 3 hole punched it at home and put it in a binder. It was awesome.

  He responded to this rumor in his autobiography saying “If I really got my ribs removed, I would have been busy sucking my own dick on The Wonder Years instead of chasing Winnie Cooper. Plus, who really has time to be killing puppies when you can be sucking your own dick? I think I’m gonna call the surgeon in the morning”

  “I think it’s mostly, if not all, a matter of better diagnostic tools and procedures.”

  This is the winner right here. If you ask your parents or grandparents about people they went to school with who were “a little weird” or “really shy” or “really into trains” or whatever it is. It was all just undiagnosed autism. The percentage of people with autism hasn’t changed. The percentage of people correctly diagnosed has. And of course it’s a spectrum. In the past they only diagnosed severely autistic people. Now with more understanding of it, we realize that it comes in several mild flavors as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That'd be helpful⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhere inbetween. I had a friend who was a cook and I didn’t know shit about cooking. He would come over, then we would go to the supermarket and smell the different produce, and look at the meats and come up with something to cook. We would buy it, go back and chef it up. Learned a whole lot about cooking and flavor profiles etc. Some of the best times I’ve ever had.

  I’m a groomsman in his wedding in November. For the bachelor party we are renting a cabin with some people. We are going to dream up a menu, go shopping, and chef it up again. I can’t wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This may be anecdotal, but I ran into this exact same issue a few weeks ago. The suggested 20% was significantly higher than the 20% on the bill. It took me a little bit to figure out, but we were at the restaurant for a steak special and happy hour. The 20% tip was for the non-special price. For example, the steak and two sides special was $18, but the normal price was $28. The drinks were $5 but the normal price was $8. So the suggested tip was 20% of $36, not 20% of $23. These aren’t the exact numbers, and there were two of us, but you get the idea. The POS/Tip suggestion is setup so the servers don’t get the shit end of the stick when the restaurant is doing a deal/special. I’m not sure I fully agree with it, and I have my own beef with tipping culture in general, but I’m just looking to explain what might be seen in OP’s photo.

  No, not dual audio. I want more Control. On my Peloton bike I can adjust the volume of the host and the music independently. I want that for TV and movies. Two volume rockers on my remote. One for voice and one for “everything else”. I know the technology exists, and it would not be crazy complicated to implement. Well maybe for broadcast TV… But for anything streaming, this should benrelativwly easy to do. I know that the voice and music and FX tracks already exist separately digitally. Let me mix it myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who are you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These are two different things, and it’s usually worded as such:

  Expiration Date: we cannot guarantee that eating food after this date will not cause sickness. Eat at your won risk, and we are not responsible if you get sick.

  Best By Date: basically means nothing. We think it tastes better before this date but there are no actual health implications after this date.

  Fuck “Best By” dates. I’ll decide if it tastes good or not, and if I don’t like it, I’ll throw it out. As long as there are no actual health implications. You usually only find expiration dates on dairy meat, and sometimes bread.

  I’m not sure if you’ve realized, but that means nothing. It has become abundantly clear that the law (and lawsuits) are used by the ruling class and not against them. When used against them, it doesn’t matter. They either ignore the fines, pay the pennies, tie it up in court, or in some other way get off scot free.

  I’m all for protesting, but make no mistake, people will be made an example of, and it won’t be the oppressors.

  This is why I always try and find a parking spot closest to a cart corral. People go crazy trying to get a spot closest to the front of the store, but ultimately your last stop before getting in your car should be at the cart corral. Yes, sometimes this means parking further away from the front door, but I have functioning legs and walking an extra 30 feet isn’t a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, the Stop n Shop I go to has portable scan guns, it’s really the best. If I have to shop somewhere that doesn’t have these, it will ruin my day. For the uninitiated, it’s a portable bar code scanner with a little screen on it. You scan items as you take them off the shelf, put them in your bags, and when you are done shopping there is a “checkout” button on the gun/screen that generates a barcode. Scan that barcode at the self checkout, pay, and be on your way. It is peak grocery shopping efficiency.

  Sure, but paying extra for more turbo boosts in the one race that you get to play is something new. Normally if you want extra boosts you need to learn the course or the game. On that same subject, now if you come in 1st place, you don’t even get to continue. (old man voice) back in my day, when you game in 1st place you got to go onto the next race. That was the point of getting good at the game.
