So wouldn’t the solution be to call it Camellia tea instead of “Chai tea”?

You can be concise and still be respectful. Wouldn’t you agree?

Edit: looks like they changed their response after I typed this. I’m done here.

What? There is a huge gap between saying “She turned out to be a fatty, YUCK!” and saying “My date lied about who they were”.

It’s about being polite… but I guess that sentiment is all but dead these days.

What a douche, why would he think it’s endearing to show how shallow and fatphobic he is?

Yeah well they were pretty shortsighted calling that specific plant “tea” when there are plenty of different varieties of plants out there that can be used to make tea. That’d be like referring to one specific fruit as “fruit”. No one would be silly enough to do something like that.

I remember a few years back when the skies turned red in SF. It looked so surreal.

What I don’t get is how there seem to be only a few remaining food types that people of certain ethnicities can’t tolerate. Like, some people can’t tolerate cow milk, some can’t tolerate wheat, because they didn’t have those things thousands of years ago. But like, most of the planet didn’t have most of the types of food available now until relatively recently, so why don’t you hear of more people being allergic to tomatoes, potatoes, mustard, etc?

They probably should. FB and all those other apps suck just as much.

I feel like the basic idea of delegation (assigning roles/tasks) is simple enough. If anything, it’s effective delegation that is tough because you have to know the capabilities of your people, and who would best be suited for what.

Fuck Israel, they’re genocidal dipshits. They don’t deserve aid.

2005 was like 7 years ago bro, get with the times!

Seriously, i found an old bill from a decade ago, it was like $54 for my 1 BR apartment. It’s now usually over triple that…

You would think people understand them by this point, I mean they've been around for at least a couple decades or so by now. It’s just like how I don’t understand how people below the age of 70 don’t understand computers…I mean Win 95 was out 30 years ago!! I used it as a child, and if a 30-40 year old can’t outperform a child, that is straight up embarrassing.

Weird. All my schools had a bunch of single story classrooms you walk between. Nice to get some sunshine between classes

It’s not a manhole, it’s way too small. But yeah not sure why it’s square. Could be European, they do weird stuff like that all the time.

This chart explains it better than I could, but basically you are right in the sense that some things can definitely be worse with both. However, some things can somewhat balance each other out as well.

In the show I watched, the dude seemed to have such bad ADHD that (for example) he’d be in a serious conversation and suddenly hold up a fruit and be like “Man, tangerines are so good. You wanna bite??”, and it was like he wasn’t even serious about the conversation at all. He did shit like that constantly, and didn’t seem to be aware of how much he was pissing people off because of it. For me… I definitely start to get antsy and semi-checkout of a conversation if I’m not interested or knowledgeable about the topic at hand and it’s going on too long. However, because i’ve learned to mask in social conversations and gotten really good at reading people’s reactions, I can usually tell if I’m doing anything to annoy someone. And so, I can pull myself back on track through a conversation without too much difficulties, most of the time anyway. At the very least, I would never just let myself do what the guy in the show did, as I know that would piss people off!

I mean he’s been fat most of his life and he’s pushing 60. But yeah his lips look weird with that beard

I remember watching some shitty reality show on Netflix and one of the contestants was very obviously ADHD and out of control because of it. And all I could think was… I’m so glad I have Autism to balance out the ADHD, otherwise I’d probably be like him

It was called that because Spain was the only country accurately reporting cases. So it made it seem like they had it the worst, even tho they didn’t.

That will never not be funny. Guy nuked his whole fame status in that one moment.
