Plus for any saying like “look before you leap” there’s a “the early bird gets the worm”

neptune,

This metro system doesn’t have enough parallel track to allow for night time operation or maintenance.

neptune,

No, not really. If there was some other goal besides the honest exchange of the hat for the money, then maybe. Fraud (“the hats made of gold and is therefore a great value!”) and price gouging (“it’s the only hat for sale on a sunny day so I’m selling it at a 1000x markup!”) might be crimes in some contexts. As mentioned, money laundering (avoiding tax or other legal requirements to move money) is also a crime.

neptune,

That was good.

Yeah hard to picture a multi billion dollar studio greenlighting a movie where Spiderman kills the 300 richest and redistributes their wealth, or Iron Man leads a worker revolution.

neptune,

I think there is an option in Settings. Under privacy there is a toggle for Listening Activity to hide it from followers. It’s below the temporary version of the setting, Private Session I think you are thinking of. Why a temporary privacy setting would be such an option is beyond me.

neptune,

One place I worked had only one shift and it was about 7am til three. Wrapping up at the hottest part of the day.

neptune,

Well it’s not because there is a legal answer.

neptune,

Change the top text to remove the word “random” and instead explain how people actually talk about evolution.

Change the bottom text to say “statistics may imply the universe is a simulation…”

And then you remove the straw man argument.

neptune,

Always good to know what you are worth and keep interviewing skills sharp. But yeah, you could wait years for a promotion (more responsibilities!) and it only be 10% whereas a lateral move at a new company could be higher pay for the same type/amount of work. Crazy, right?

neptune,

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of “melts”. Almost every “grilled cheese” sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called “grilledcheese” is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It’s called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don’t know what the hell you’d call that but it’s not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I’ve eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled “melts” because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I’m not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I’ve seen post after post of peoples “grilled cheeses” all over reddit and it’s been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

neptune,

I just got a bottle of malort. Yes. It’s vile. Bitter, herbal, barely sweet, acrid, astringent… It’s bad.

I have a whiskey aged on chestnut. It’s very good. Different than all the oak whiskey out there. A little earthier?

I have a bottle of aquardiente. It’s kind of a minty drink. Not good or bad persay.

Ouzo and absinthe are pretty typical I guess. Rhubarb liqueur and I’m not sure what to do with it.

Something disturbing about Hallmark movies

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

neptune,

I mean, it’s a fantasy. It’s going to tend to be transgressive or unrealistic, or else it would just be reality. Yes, it is sort of sending an anti feminist message that women can’t have it all. But you pretty much have to make holiday movies where the whole point is to stop being greedy and pay attention to what matters (family).

So you aren’t the target audience, combined with the movies being poorly written, combined with the very real situation where modern feminism has achieved its pyhrric victory of everyone getting to head towards equal participation in capitalism…

neptune,

I use mine to work on my novella at starbucks

neptune,

Learn about one religion and you may become faithful. Learn about many and you may become an atheist.

There’s some truth and some idiocy behind this meme. Just because, for example, the US political system tends toward a two party system, does not mean you can always or always not find some amount of truth or good ideas based on what two parties tell you. In fact, the framing is irrelevant toward truth, and is even it’s own type of bias. There are certainly some third rails neither side of a debate will touch, or some things both find the need to lie about. But in some cases someone is sort of right about something and sometimes people are just wrong.
