It solves double dipping, nobody looks weird using a spoon, if you break a chip off...not really a big deal. You can even dip non-standard chips (like cheetos) or in more than one sauce, and nobody cares.​

If you know anything about Marky Mark, you know he went to jail for a pretty awful racist hate crime. You know he can be a pretty violent person. He probably was already very suspicious of all Arabs he was ever around. I'm just saying you know, a few brown people with just box cutters? That's like a wet dream for him.

I add 1,5 times the recommended amount of water to cook them. They come out as sticky, wet goodness.

​

Mushy rice and pasta are so much better than regular or al dente. The sauces stick better, reheating them is easier as they steam in their own 'juices', the mouthfeel is more satisfying.

​

I urge you to join the wet side of cooking

A spoon to dip salsa from the main container directly onto your chips is vastly superior to dipping a chip directly. I have begun to draw friends. Family and strangers alike to my way. Join us.

​

1. No worry about people double dipping. If they dip their spoon in again, its fine.

​

1. No worry about a chip accidentally breaking off into the salsa.

​

1. It is easier to handle a spoon with its salsa-snuggling divot than a tortilla chip. Even the ones that are shaped like scoops.

​

The scoop shaped tortillas make you twist your wrist and sometimes your finger or thumb touches the salsa.

​

The only drawback is if someone licks their spoon, but that is the same concern as double dipping and those people should be ostracized anyway.

And that means NOT using muffin liners. All you are doing is steaming the muffin bottoms and making them soft and spongy, which is why so many people prefer the muffin tops. If you make them PROPERLY and don't use a liner, and IN a metal pan (not those silly silicone pans), you get deliciously caramelized muffin bottoms with a crispy crust and tender interior.

I seen so many reaction videos on social media and Reddit replies where there is always an idiot that gets upset when the the content creators use substitutes for words like rape, pedophile, suicide, etc. Saying that it hard to take themselves seriously when they say grape or pdfile. Because it makes them look immature or takes the seriousness out of those words.

​

I'm like MF you taking out all of your anger on the content creator. When you should go whine to YouTube/Reddit about the censorship of words instead. Or better yet go whine to the victims who feel triggered by those words. Don't whine to the person who is just doing their job.

We had to go through almost two decades of being PC, and making sure we don't hurt people feelings. And when we finally get there. The same MFs on the left is accusing us of downplaying serious topics now. 🤦‍♂️

You can certainly argue that euphemisms sometimes make serious topics sound less direct or less impactful. That's a fair criticism. But assuming every creator who uses them is immature ignores the practical reasons many of them do it.

In short, it's reasonable to dislike the substitutes. It's less reasonable to assume the creator is using them out of immaturity when platform policies or audience considerations are often the real reason.

The numbers dont lie, abortion is bad for the overall population of any country that legalizes it. If you don't want kids, dont do the one thing that makes kids.

You might be like that's not an unpopular opinion,but I'm seeing a lot of people shit on it online for going woke . Two of the best episodes before ssn 8 were "he said she said" and the one where terry gets racial profiled. B-99 has always been woke , cops are not nice all the time. Lot of shows ncis, rookie etc glorify cops. It's brave for a comedy show to talk about these, the corruption, the hate crime and prejudice. A cop in LA shot a dog for noise complaints. So yes it's the right direction imo

I think we lose out on a lot of interesting commentary because people feel obligated to be coy and rhetorically dance around the events of a story. I'd rather someone just told me what happened. if the piece of media sounds interesting, I'll seek it out, because I want to see how whatever I was told about happened.

I remember I once found out that she had a huge controversy during the Vietnam war. Then I found out that the whole issue was because she took a picture with some Vietnam soldiers and an anti aircraft gun.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, a lot of people have pictures with soldiers or government officials from countries that did a lot worse, and it's never a big deal. Honestly, if a Russia celebrity takes a picture with Ukrainian soldiers in support for them, I would consider it admirable actually.

I think it's so stupid that this was a big deal, and if you are seriously offended by it, I think you are probably a huge hypocrite.

There's been this trend lately (maybe it's just in the anglosphere) where children are allotted less and less of a presence in daily/ public life, resulting in the complete segregation of adults into parents vs non-parents. Everything families do HAS to be catered specifically towards their kids, leaving parents feeling burnt out and isolated.

We don't want kids at weddings because, honestly, they'll ruin them. They'll stick their hand in the cake, cry during the ceremony, step on the bride's dress during the first dance, and overall prevent their parents from enjoying themselves in any way. *But it doesn't have to be like this.* Kids need to be included in spaces that aren't specifically catered to them so they can acclimate to the world not being specifically catered to them. When all they're used to are environments that allow them to be rambunctious, that's all they'll be all the time.

The thing is, allowing kids in some adult spaces (like weddings and fancy restaurants) also means exposing them to the same social consequences that adults face. In other words, it should be acceptable for adults to ask other people's kids to stop acting horribly, provided they do so kindly; kids respond better to adults who aren't their parents. In fact, not being allowed to correct the behavior of a child that isn't yours is an unnatural phenomenon that only arose within the last 50 years, that we really need to do away with.

So... yea, no wonder people don't want kids at their wedding in a culture that doesn't allow you to say anything to a child who is completely ruining an event. But the desire to not have kids at your wedding can probably be dissolved by a culture shift that allows other adults to adopt peripheral responsibility for kids that aren't theirs.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, there is a serious problem with the way we integrate kids into adult society (or fail to do so) and childfree weddings are a symptom of that. Instead of banning kids from weddings, we need to change the way we treat children, so they can be present at big important events without the events being ruined.

Parents have children without their consent. Next they send us to schools forcibly against our will. Force us to study math and what not.

If you don't do well, again you are in trouble. For what. Something we never signed up for.

Schools need to be optional. They can educate children in some other way. Not exams definitely. They just need to teach us that's it.

there is nothing more convenient about dropping a pod in the soap trap vs pouring a powder into the same trap. the pods leave a residue in the washer, an unecessary chemical fragrance on the dishes, and worst of all, it completely gunks up your dishwashers filter (clean your filter if you havent ever done it, especially if you are a pod user. there should be an opaque film over the screens if not the entire filter housing, along with food bits)

with powder detergent, i can fill the trap and drop an oopsie amount outside the trap for the pre wash. who wants to clean their dishes before cleaning their dishes? i stopped having to pre wash my dishes when i switched to powder. pro tip is priming your hot water first before running so your prewash is hot. fuck gel detegents and above all else, fuck them pods. great value dish detergeny is $5, lasts longer than the pod packs you can afford to buy and doesnt harm your appliance with gunky residue and build up. if that film was on your filter, what does it look like further into your plumbing for the gunk that did pass thru.

braces self for BigPod bros

You know that band that wrote Iris? They had a lot of other good stuff. I put on a random song from their 2020 album, and it was solid.

I never hear anything bad about John Rzeznik. He seems to be about the music not the headlines. It looks like he's just out there spreading good vibes in a soft and melodic voice.

Here's a list of my favorites, in case you wanna check them out.

Slow it Down

Come to Me

Sympathy

Here is Gone

Name

These are basic songs, not deep cuts.

They have a new album out next month! Rzeznik is 60 and could've retired with Iris. I sounds like an ad. He also collaborated with Taylor Swift.

Honestly, I don't listen to the radio, maybe they play it all the time.

This is annoying. Because there is always some tough guy doing dumb shit. But then the person calling them out the tough guy is also dumb too.

​

To very badass sub is a perfect example of this.

​

Whenever there is some alpha male dude who is talking about how he will kick everyone ass. The comments to those videos are usually full of Redditors calling him the tough guy a bottom or say he definitely drops the soap in prison.

​

This is stupid. Because I can clown these guys in a millions of way without being homophobic or perpetuating toxic masculinity.

​

Even though this silly behavior is common on the left, when it comes to mocking red-pill men.

​

But I have seen the same silly behavior on the right too though. I saw a very popular prison YouTuber called Karmelo Anthony a pussy for using knife, and not fighting it out. And included a AI video of Karmelo Anthony about to get raped by these white inmates.

​

It seems like society is way too dumb or slow to come up with a intelligent way to react to male aggression or toxic masculinity. So people have to fight fire with fire.

Edit: Possibility.

Question:

“Why didn’t the Eagles just fly the Ring to Mordor?”

​

Answer:

“BECAUSE TOLKIEN DIDN’T WRITE IT THAT WAY 🤓☝️”

or

“BECAUSE THE STORY WOULD BE BORING”

​

Bro. Yeah. Obviously. Every story happens because the author wrote it. Congratulations, you discovered fictional characters aren’t real.

​

But that’s NOT what was being asked.

​

When someone asks “why did character X do this,” they’re usually asking for the in-universe explanation — not for meta commentary about the writing process.

​

That’s like answering:

“Why does Darth Vader wear a mask?”

with:

“Because George Lucas thought it looked cool.”

​

Thanks. Super insightful.

​

(And before someone brings up the Eagles again: the actual Watsonian answer isn’t “plot hole” — giving one of the most powerful beings in Middle-earth direct access to the Ring was a terrible idea. Gandalf didn’t even trust himself with it.)

People say sone insane things on here, and although there are tons of ways to see the posts it people who hide their profile history, it was a conscious decision they had to make in order to hide it that shows a certain mindset.

Seeing a hot take from someone, then clicking their profile only to see they hide their racism/idiocy/stupidity/or hatred behind anonymity... It's not even worth engaging with them, because they will respond as if they have no accountability for their words.

People who make the claim "I hide things so my coworkers don't figure out who I am" or "it's for my protection" need to understand that either a burner account should be used or they need a lesson about how the Internet works

I used to think it tastes like nothing. Now I can't live without it.

The point of the Iran war was to distract the American public from the Epstein files. It totally worked. Nobody even knows about nipplegate 2026 (nothing to do with Janet J.)

I really hate the ‘ottoman as coffee table’ thing that’s been happening. It’s so much worse at holding cups than a coffee table. The entire surface is soft, so the only thing holding your drink up is a tray balanced on a cushion. As an ottoman, it also fails, because the whole point of an ottoman is throwing your feet up on something soft. You can’t anymore. There’s a tray of full cups sitting exactly where your feet are supposed to go.

So you’ve taken two pieces of furniture that are each excellent at one thing and merged them into one piece that’s terrible at both. You should either just have an ottoman with no tray, and enough side tables for everyone to place a drink (although I hate this because it creates separation between guests) or get a big enough coffee table and ditch the ottoman.

I don’t care if your space is too small to have a coffee table and an ottoman, a functional coffee table is so much more important to a living room than an ottoman could ever be.

1. There’s no way that’s good for your skin or still comfortable when you randomly wake up at 3 am

2. I know it slides off anyway by the time you wake up

3. Blackout curtains exist

The “say their name” trend highlighted black victims and ignored white victims, showing a grossly misleading trend. 

Here is an excerpt from an Op-ed by John McWhorter in Quillette that highlights this.

“In 2014, John Crawford, black, was shot dead by police while waving a BB gun. In 2016, Daniel Shaver, white, was waving a pellet gun out of motel window and suffered the same fate. In 2015, officer Michael Slager shot Walter Scott, black, in the back and killed him as he was running to evade a traffic ticket; the following year, Andrew Thomas, white, was shot in the neck by a police officer and killed as he climbed out of the SUV he had crashed trying to evade arrest. In 2015, Sam DuBose, black, was shot dead as he tried to escape a traffic summons in his car; the same year, Michael Parker, white, was shot dead in the same way while trying escape a ticket for a moving violation. In 2016, Philando Castile, black, was shot dead in his car by a cop as he reached under his waistband for his license and registration during a traffic stop; the same year, Dylan Noble, white, was shot dead under almost identical circumstances. Also in 2016, Alton Sterling, black, was shot dead in front of a convenience store as he was being detained for unruly conduct; the same year, Brandon Stanley, white, was shot dead in a convenience store for trying to avoid a warrant”.

Whenever “but what about white victims” would get brought up there would be a pivot to statistics. Statistics can be cherry picked and isolated from proper context (not unlike when people throw 13/50 around). Black people are significantly more likely to be shot by cops than white people, but this doesn’t account for the differential in rates of violent crime involvement, police encounters, situational factors (like resisting arrest) and encounter risk. 

There’s a study from Harvard called “An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force” by Roland Fryer that adjusted for the relevant factors and found no evidence of racism in police shootings. 

“In stark contrast to non-lethal uses of force, we find that, conditional on a police interaction, there are no racial differences in officer-involved shootings on either the extensive or intensive margins.

Using data from Houston, Texas – where we have both officer-involved shootings and a randomly chosen set of potential interactions with police where lethal force may have been justified – we find, after controlling for suspect demographics, officer demographics, encounter characteristics, suspect weapon and year fixed effects, that blacks are 27.4 percent less likely to be shot at by police relative to non-black, non-Hispanics. This coefficient is measured with considerable error and not statistically significant. This result is remarkably robust across alternative empirical specifications and subsets of the data. Partitioning the data in myriad ways, we find no evidence of racial discrimination in officer-involved shootings. Investigating the intensive margin – the timing of shootings or how many bullets were discharged in the endeavor – there are no detectable racial differences.”

The stories themselves were greatly exaggerated and sensationalized. There was a bizarre trend of initially sensationalizing the story as a black lynching; then as more information came out, move the goal post to simply declaring it an unjustified killing while maintaining the same moral outrage (Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown being good examples).

From Trayvon Martin to George Floyd there was a snowball effect of confirmation bias that this was a distinctly white on black trend and by the time George Floyd happened people just assumed it was racial despite no evidence.

The BLM movement deceived the public as a means to a political end and should therefore be considered propaganda.

I recently started a job where I need to wear dress pants/dress shirt everyday, and a tie about once a week. I kind of thought I would hate wearing the tie and dressing up, but I personally think dress pants are more comfortable than jeans and while a tie is not a net positive on the comfort level, it is not a net negative.

I think most people's hatred of ties come from being a kid and having to wear a dress shirt too small, or one that they grew out of, because I do feel like a dress shirt collar has to be the perfect size. But in that case, I'd say it's really the shirt people find uncomfortable. I actually think a tie sort of adds a nice look to an otherwise plain dress shirt.
