I’m standing, that’s the way I always wiped, maybe I was taught to do it this way, but now I’m a big man and I think it would be messy now to write while sitting like my hands wouldn’t fit, we need to research this further, maybe it’s geographical thing, specific to a country, their toilet sizes and it’s history or something

Varyk, in Are those rust spots?

Yes, that is rust, but it’s in no way dangerous, and you can also scrape it off with any abrasive scrub if you don’t like the look of it

Looks like it could be rust. Even if it it’s, that’s not really a problem. You can probably get rid of the rust by cleaning the teapot a bit better next time.

I don’t see any problem with continuing to use it in the future. If you’re worried about microbes colonizing the place, remember two things:

  1. When not in use, keep it empty and dry.
  2. Clean it every now and then.

BTW, aren’t teapots usually ceramic?

I’m not a health expert, take this with a grain of salt. I’d be disappointed it was rusting, but also mostly shrug it off and keep using it unless it gets bad and flaky/scaley

Cqrd, in Why are people reacting surprised about the events in Israel?

A hundred years, and no, not quite. The myth of them being at war for hundreds of years is spread mostly by evangelical Christians who want to sow divide.

They’ve mostly been in a “peaceful” state recently where Israel has been treating Palestinians as a sort of worse apartheid state. This has allowed for build up of a terroristic group (Hamas) that performed a massive surprise attack, some believe with the backing of Iran. Hamas is basically the ISIS of Palestine. This attack was a surprise because Israel has been relying heavily on technology to spy on and suppress any threats, but Hamas planned their attacks without technology. If Hamas wins, things won’t necessarily be better for Palestine, they’ll just have different oppressors.

Israel is definitely bad here, but Hamas isn’t great. Everyone doing the fighting sucks, the civilians are the only good people involved in this and they’re being massacred. Everyone here deserves better.

Ilovethebomb, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that”

So heavily overused.

Neither. Wiping is a waste of potential ammunition that I could use against my enemies.
Monkeys flinging poop. Relevant note: the avatar of the user sending this message shows a smoking chimp.

Not a quote, just a single word that’s overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word…

“Woke”

Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!

XEAL, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“You must be funny at parties”

Specially if you’re not around, bitch

MossyFeathers, in Does anyone shop on Temu?

I’ve heard it’s basically just Wish 2.0. Would you buy something from Wish? No? Then don’t buy something from Temu.

Paragone, in What's with the hype for The Godfather?

Please read John Truby’s book “The Anatomy of Genres”, and have your mind BLOWN by all the psychology in the different 14 Genres of story, dominating our cultures throughout the world, now…

It will make fiction in book AND movie form sooo much richer for you, and it will make other-people much-more-understandable, as well…

I’m autistic, am NOT likely to ever watch another movie in my life ( waaay too overwhelming ), but now I understand story so much better…

Truby’s got a special place in his heart for both Godfather I & II.

With reason, his explanations show.

There are an amazing number of awesome stories identified in that book, as examples demonstrating this, or that, aspect of story…

Please read it from beginning to end, so the explanations ( which build on each-other ) weave into the whole, properly ( instead of just hitting 2 chapters & not getting why it doesn’t make as much sense as I’m suggesting it does ).

The only significant error in the book worth noting, is the misunderstanding of Comedy:

Improbably-violated-expectations is the PROPER definition of it, and there is no requirement for any “drop”, which seems an American subset of humour.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

If you don’t get it, you don’t get it, and that’s fine.

From someone who’s went through film school:

It’s a great movie. I wouldn’t call it second ever, but it’s up there. The cinematography is some of the best put to film, the writing is excellent, and the acting is phenomenal. I love the music as well, personally. Mafia stories are/were big hits for film in general, dating back even to the black and white era.

In simple terms: basically everything about it is made better than your average film, and if there’s something you specifically like about films (music, cinematography, etc.) It’s usually an easy example to point to for a quality example of said thing

But yeah, there are too many movies in existence to put any real stock on “x best movie of all time” things
