- Comment on is this the right way to establish boundaries with my nosy coworkers at the hospital? 2 days ago:
What about phrasing it so the effort isn’t on you, but them?
“I’ve never really felt comfortable around [describe group]”. This way, the failure isn’t yours to get comfortable, but on them to mwake you comfortable.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 4 days ago:
Right, I agree with you there. I guess I should invert my question. If you’re tipping the driver, what is the delivery fee for?
These two costs seem redundant.

Wow. Just wow.

If you are paying separately for the delivery, what is the tip for?
- Comment on Car 3 weeks ago:
If you are used to driving a manual, you don’t rest your foot on the foot rest area, you keep it just about to push the clutch. Also, saying the brake pedal is the full width of two pedals is wrong, but it is certainly wider. I have gone for the clutch in an automatic once and just barely caught the edge of the brake pedal. The results were very confusing, and without exaggerating it took me 5-10 seconds to figure out what I had done. It was while driving my mom’s car with her in it and she looked at me with the most “what the fuck are you doing?” look she has ever made.
This was all over twenty years ago but yes, it is definitely possible.

- Comment on What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men? 4 weeks ago:
Before I had a kid, I heard this was a thing, but didn’t really care as I didn’t really have a desire to be around kids. Once I became a father, I realized a lot of people make strange assumptions about men around small humans. Its certainly not most people, but definitely some, and definitely not just online.
- Comment on What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men? 4 weeks ago:
I think you were implying something different, but I feel like I get a ton of odd comments suggesting it’s weird for me to be out with my own kid. Things like “giving mom the day off?” or “what happened to his mom?”.
I had friends complain about this kind of thing before I had kids and I thought that they were exaggerating. Nope, it’s all over the place. It’s certainly not everyone, but it is much more common than I expected.
- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 5 weeks ago:
Find a hobby that would use the product type in question. Find a community for said hobby then look for discussions comparing the options that are out there.
This tends to work better for certain things more than others. I doubt many hobby groups get excited about dishwashers or clothing dryers. I’m these cases, the Buy it For Life communities tend to have decent comparisons.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
My personal experience: Trying to find a restaurant that has vegan friendly options isn’t always easy, and used to be much harder. That would make trying to find somewhere to eat as a group much more tedious if someone was vegan. I don’t think anyone had issue with the person being a vegan, I think they just didn’t like eating at the same two restaurants over and over.

- Comment on Anon seeks advice for real world problems 2 months ago:
What are you suggesting should be considered early?
I used to work nights 11pm to 7 am. Typically I would sleep noon to 8 pm. Regardless of my effed up sleep schedule, I still understood that “early” meant “early in the day”, and that whenever I slept wasn’t really related to what was considered “early” for most people. You’ve stated your waking time, bit not what you consider “early”.

What do you think counts as early?

- Comment on Anon seeks advice for real world problems 2 months ago:
Why is this getting down voted? Do people really think before 10 am is “early”.
- Comment on I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is 2 months ago:
I’m a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old “pogs”. Damn what a weird fad.

My grandmother used to say the annoying part of forgetting things is that you still remember that you used to know something. Once you forget that you ever remembered, you’re home free.
- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 5 months ago:
Glad to see Fairytale of New York here. I was going to make the comment if I didn’t find it.
With lyrics like this, what’s not to like:
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy removed. Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it’s our last.

- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 7 months ago:
My brother told me the first time he truly felt like an adult was when he had to go shopping for a washing machine.
I think for me it was when I suffered a back injury whilst sleeping.

Thanks. 😃
- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 7 months ago:
Money doesn’t solve all of your problems. It only solves money problems. Money is great at solving money problems, but once you run out of money problems to solve, you’ve taught yourself that money solves problems. So you try to use money to solve every problem and learn that there are some problems money can’t solve.

Not sure if you are suggesting op gets a dog free of cost or that they should set the dog free, but I think both options are acceptable.

I have a maple in my front yard that the leaves started turning brown in early July.
It seems weird, but I think getting hit by a truck mad it forget what month it was.

For some reason the combination of pointed corners on the wide stroke and rounded ends on the thin strokes bothers me.
