  • I feel like that was a tactical feint. The whole warning was just setting up the Nazi to defend the wrong front, then go for the gut punch. Our boi is a strategic genius.

  • If you had to talk to a stranger, what would you want it to be about?

  • You put a cheaper oil in a refinery, then flavor it with artificial flavors, then use the Mafia to launder it into another country.

  • Olive oil.

    I just read Extra Virginity and it turns out there is a whole world of food oil counterfeiting and I really need help stopping it, because suddenly this is the topic I am 3rd most passionate about.

  • Not enough people talking about Christmas Aslan over there behind the truck.

  • Frequent Lying

  • Also, I just realized what you meant by "you're supposed to say no Mom". Your mom was literally telling you to lie to avoid getting in trouble.

  • Ok, but wtf is this thing your mom texted you "Dad wants a treat, send me your grades?"

    I cannot imagine a man telling his wife he wants a treat for Halloween, and then being satisfied with that treat being an early update on his kid's grades. She is making that shit up so she has an excuse to supervise your grades.

    Your mom feels like a very anxious person, always checking in about all the stuff you describe, and making the whole family anxious. Almost all your examples of lying are to your mom because it feels like she's pressuring you (probably because of her own anxiety). You've said enough things in your post to make me think your mom lies a lot too, and has modeled her anxiety and lying in a family setting to you a lot. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you lie because she taught you to lie.

    Some advice:

    1. Pay attention to whether you lie to your friends as much as you lie to older adults (especially parent figures like your coach).
    2. Make a rule never to lie to people your own age. Don't let the lie pattern spread.
    3. Work the family lying stuff out with your therapist ASAP while you have a young highly neueoplastic brain and can undo these patterns. If you don't have a therapist, talk with your college's health center, you can probably get one through them.

  • Scrolling by I literally thought "Man, that candy looks delicious, what's this article about?" And then read the headline... 🫠

  • Have you gotten a response after asking why you weren't hired?

    Jump

  • My buddy asked for feedback once. The recruiter said, "We passed because of the words you said." That was it. 😐 Say better words next time guy.

  • Americans who live near state borders,how do you notice you've crossed the border?

    Jump

  • Something that surprised me in my travels (which are primarily West of the Mississippi) is how often the states actually line up with a significant geologic shift. Arizona is endless orange desert. New Mexico immediately becomes rainbow painted cliffs. Utah is somehow entirely vertical. California is a contradiction of green desert. Nevada is like a chemical mine puked on a bunch of bumpy ridges. Northern New Mexico falls off a cliff and the bottom is Texas.

    If you watch closely, usually something fairly dramatic happens in the landscape within a few miles of the border.

  • I do this kind of "foraging plate" sometimes. Yours looks really good and balanced. Got some protein, plenty of plants, a little probiotics, great work, good eating!

  • Looking past the caption, I think it's way funnier when you realize the cat doesn't actually know how to read. He thinks these are huge cans of cat food.

  • Oh, haha, yeah, I tried some stuff in ADB, too, but I think I want to keep the phone a bit longer. Thanks for your answer!

  • Did you find a way to get rid of that full screen update notification?

  • Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?

    Jump

  • It's a threat. Nobody likes the idea of crippling the economy with an unending general strike. But the people who watch the daily numbers use them to predict future behavior. A big blackout in the second month makes them think really hard about what is coming 6 months down the road. If the blackout is small, they know they don't have anything to worry about. If it shifts 50% of sales to another day, they know they're having a conversation with a giant that can move their numbers a lot.

  • Belgrade to make public transport free from January 1

    Jump

  • First time it ever occurred to me, but now that I've read it, of course! Why wouldn't every city make this free?! Solving transportation woes is a surefire way to stoke your economy, and removing payments is going to make public transportation more efficient and cheaper to maintain (no ticket kiosks getting vandalized, no payment processors to pay). Seems like a win win for any congested city.
