Because it happened in the state of Georgia, the state building a literal Police City?

People are reenacting the point of the comic in real time, it’s wild.

You too, always good to start it off right with some good ol Lemmy hot takes on women.

Erase the last thought bubble and replace it with “It was nice to run into her, she’s so sweet,” and you’ll have something a bit more realistic and less incel-y lmao.

Women do actually like each other 🙄

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall’s/Homegoods as well.

Be so serious, Mariah Carey’s is far from the worst Christmas song in retail.

It basically sidesteps any conversation about what you mean. If you said to the line or to your fellow waiters “no cherries” that wouldn’t make any sense. Like, in what context would they guess you meant that? You’d at the very least have to say “we have no more cherries”, which is much longer than saying “86 cherries”.

If you mean in the context of the OP, though, then yes I completely agree, the customer was being extra and not actually shortening what they were trying to say.

Working in fast food is pretty different from full restaurants. I worked fast food first, never heard the term until I started waiting tables a few years later. In fast food, there’s not as much of a chain of communication that requires pass phrases to get info across quickly. Just one kid with an order terminal and another kid assembling the order as it was entered.

All of that aside, if I hear someone use that term IRL, it does tend to sound pretentious because you’re basically using jargon outside of its typical area of use and expecting everyone to know wtf you’re talking about. It’s almost like you want someone to ask, so you can be like “you don’t kNoW???”

Probably people don’t mean to come off that way, but that is the vibe I catch most of the time.

It truly is like that Margaret Atwood quote, about men being afraid women will laugh at them, and women being afraid men will kill them.

Next time I’m in an airport food court I’ll try to really take in the view of the cinnabon next to the starbucks.

I feel like that’s not as cheap as just buying one by the time you’ve bought all that other stuff 🤔

Libby is 100% compatible with kindle, has been for years. It’s the first prompt immediately after you check out the book; it asks if you want to read it in Libby, or have it sent to your kindle. I’d definitely recommend it, it couldn’t be more seamless.

An elective surgery you call it, an investment in their vision, I call it. Not everyone has vision as part of their insurance, and contacts/glasses/exams can get expensive without (or even with, depending on the policy). Viewed in that way, LASIK can definitely be seen as an investment.

The second Apple rolled out face ID, I knew this tech was ready and waiting for forced ads

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn’t telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not ‘gaslighting’ anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn’t happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.

It looks like fabric scraps roughly stuffed with fluff. With a little help/guidance, a five year old could definitely make this. Working with needle and thread isn’t some archaic lost knowledge, lol. I’ve found that if we have faith in them and let them try stuff, kids can do all kinds of stuff we don’t think they should be able to.

Yes. Then later, throwing up hair balls together will be a bonding experience.

Fun fact, licking can be a sign of dominance in cats. So when they lick you while biting or wrestling, they may not be trying to make amends!

Just came across this guide, thank you for your consistent work on it :)

Idk, I think Aragorn is a great example. As is Samwise.
