Please don’t hawk tuah your pans while cooking

Next thing you’re gonna tell me I’m not supposed to binge an entire 22-episode season of The Office in one sitting.

I appreciate compliments. I have a hard time accepting overly specific compliments.

The original note that started this thread was on the overly specific side.

In the college football world the secondary market for tickets has seemed softer this year than last year. A lot of it is the change to the playoff format making it so that people have more events to split their budget across, but a lot of people lost money selling tickets under the face value for the conference games when their teams didn’t make it. And just this weekend, it seemed like tickets were pretty cheap for the first round of the playoffs.

Those prices might be up from 5 years ago, but my impression is that prices are down from last year.

If you think about it elevators are just vertical trains

The blue part is obviously land

3d scanner that generates a 3d printing file that automatically creates one in your friends’ inboxes. It’s just plastic for now but they’re working on adding new materials and artificial scents to really capture the whole experience.

Whoa that slur will get you shadow banned from some social media sites

If I entered a house made of human flesh, I’m sure the smell alone would make me gag.

Are you sure? It’s rotting flesh that smells gross. If the building material isn’t rotting, would it smell bad? Or what if it were dehydrated to be able to last a long time, like an unseasoned jerky? Or maybe even tanned, like leather?

A million (bleep)ing diamonds!

as it’s inverse to what they advertise for.

Probably why they can charge the price structure they do, maximizing their profit for the most common use case they see.

I once dated someone with an extensive oral history.

From a Tumblr post that has been reposted a few times (in fact, my link is to the earliest repost I could find, as I think the original is long gone):

The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-

• Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
• Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
• Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
• Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
• Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
• People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
• Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

Is this a thing people do? When I was in my 20’s I did the opposite, jerking off before dates so that I’d last longer later on.

I’m a man and I’ve never been catcalled, but I can believe women who overwhelmingly say it’s a common experience.

A non-black person saying they’ve never been followed around a convenience store, or dealt with adultification (the phenomenon where racial bias leads people to treat black children more as adults, including things like the first row in this comic assuming a young black woman is holding her own daughter).

We all live our own experiences, so trying to deny that something happens based on not having experienced it yourself is just being obtuse.

A survey of medical students in 2016 found the same trends in actual beliefs, long after the data disproved the theory.

This RPG’s rules are bullshit!

Are you under the impression that families are going to the grocery store every day and trying to eat everything within 48 hours of picking it up from the store? No, people are buying the week’s worth of stuff and might not be getting to actually cooking it until 6 days later.

Buy a week’s worth of food, with each perishable item in quantities small enough to go into a few meals per week, out of the 21 meals you’ll be eating that week.

Fresh vegetables and fruit last a week or two. Fresh meat lasts a week. Eggs last a few weeks. Most dairy products last a week or two.

Make meals out of a combination of fresh ingredients, dry goods (pasta, rice, beans, breads), canned/preserved foods/sauces/condiments, frozen foods. With basically one perishable feature ingredient per dinner, it doesn’t take that much planning to feed yourself for maybe 10-25% as much as it costs from takeout or restaurants. Even if your food waste is double as a single person, that’s still 20-50% the cost.

It’s true of all combat sports, and, to some degree, any other sport in which you go face to face with your opponent.

And although it might be true that at the very very top levels people both learn to be more ambidextrous (so that there’s less of a mismatch between sides whether right or left handed) and are more experienced/skilled at dealing with left handed opponents, the early years of learning the sport will weed out fewer left handed people so that the top levels have more left handed people.

Yeah, a lot of popular webcomics seem to try to mine personal experiences (especially around introversion or social awkwardness) for relatability: Sarah’s Scribbles, Pizzacake, etc.
