Where I’m from the legal infraction is that the right side wheels are more than half a meter from the curb (I learned this from the ticket I got for parking on the wrong side of the street)

I’ve considered it a good thing to get the “You’re making a mistake” pushback for things like marriage and kids. Because it is hard and you do have to give up and lot of things for it, so you had better be damn sure thats what you want.

You should be able to hear that (from certain types of people) and think “what the hell do they know?”. And if you do think “oh, damn, am I making a mistake?” then you should really fully stop and consider that question.

I think it’s easy for people to fall into the traps of thinking marriage and kids are just the next steps in life and things will get better when you’re married. Marriage doesn’t make anything better.

A lot of people say things like “marriage is great, but its a lot of work”. Those are the people that I’m like “really? Sounds like you maybe did make a mistake there” because (and I’m not expert, I’ve only been married once) it’s really easy being married to my wife.

It took way too long to find this comment. Its those nostalgia goggles.

Remembering being single is like remembering being a kid. For a lot of people, they remember the good times and put the bad times aside, so thats what they’ll talk about.

Wait until you hear about Coca-Cola

“New study finds ‘Trickle Down Economics’ has not trickled down in any way over the last 30 40 50 years”

Okay, Yoda

Yes, except “hire enough people”. You can’t staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.

It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.

If the work can’t be rescheduled, and isn’t worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it’s not worth doing.

I bet this works nominally better, but I just heat the pan with oil. I can’t be arsed to wipe screaming hot oil out of a pan only to reintroduce new cold oil and have to contemplate whether it could possibly make a difference and either feeling like an idiot for blindly following such an absurd direction, or like an idiot for not understanding the scientific grounds for which it works.

Also when they add extraneous hyperbole to invalidate themselves.

No, there’s nothing sweet or savory about rotting meat, but it isn’t rotting, now is it?People that eat meat do not eat rotting carcasses (RFK aside) the same way vegans don’t eat rotten vegetables.

It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days

My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

Dog on the Road

Nice rock. Sorry your taxes are so high under there.

And do you vote in a 2 party system where one of them is following through on threats of dehumanizing immigrants, non-white citizens, and LGBTQ?

Classic conservative math.

Tax rate is 35%? That’s basically half!

He has a trans son, who he supports

No, he objectively does not. Tolerates on a local level, sure, but not supports.

“I love you, son! I’m so proud of you for being your true self,” he yelled from outside the burning building, holding the door shut, “but you’re on the insurance policy, so the payout is better if you die!”

My dental hygienist actually explained it to me one time.

It has nothing to do with “toughening up your gums” like I used to think. Food gets trapped, bacteria grows, and your gums become inflamed to combat the bacteria. So now your gums are constantly full of blood protecting you from infection and when you do floss (or someone flosses for you), they’re going to bleed a lot.

I started flossing habitually every night and wouldn’t you know it I’ve only ever bled or felt pain from flossing when I miss some stupid popcorn shell thats wedged itself down low (which also goes to show, you don’t event need to do a particularly good job flossing for it to work 99%)

A bonus tip for folks that don’t like garotting their fingertips every night by wrapping them in 6 loops of floss just to get some tension: tie a short piece into a loop, double knotted, and you just pull the loop tight between two fingers. No finger pain, no extra appliance, and it uses less floss.

Extra bonus tip: get proper butlerweave floss. The plastic ribbon bullshit is absolute nonsense. Like trying to wash dishes with a zip lock bag…

Biology: No problem!
