Girl Talk
  • 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 🙄

  • What are your best tips for falling asleep?
  • For me, podcasts specifically about going to sleep to them trigger my contrariness too much to be actually relaxing. It's gotta be on a normal topic that is just the right balance of interesting, but not exiting/engaging.

    History typically scratches that itch for me. Dan Carlin's hardcore history and the history of the English being the two goats that coke immediately to mind. Camp Monsters is also a great one; the rare fiction podcast that I can actually stand, much less relaxes me enough to sleep.

  • The customer is always right
  • 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.

  • Why Is This Election Even Close?
  • I heard an interesting comparison lately saying basically that blaming the development of agriculture for late stage capitalism is like blaming calculus for the development of the atom bomb, and I would tend to agree.

    It's looking like agriculture was probably used originally to keep us longer in community at sites like Gobekli Tepe, and probably was absolutely life saving for us at that time.

    The real issue arose from not persecuting those who would horde various types of wealth more severely (or at all).

  • The customer is always right
  • 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.

  • Kisses
  • I actually really loved that movie as a kid, haha. My mom put it on for my nap time. Dark Crystal, on the other hand scared me so badly I still got anxiety looking at the poster until I was 19

  • Americans are more underwater on their car loans than ever before
  • Doesn't matter the brand, cars traditionally don't appreciate in value. Wisdom always was that it starts to lose value as soon as you drive it off the lot, because of the wear it takes through regular use. Then the pandemic hit, and a shortage of new cars, which drove up the used car (AND new car) market. It's all madness IMO, but people with the power to do so (corpos and private individuals alike) are trying to hang on to that bubble for dear life.

    Tough Choice
  • Haley is objectively best girl, IMO. Her personality growth is the best. But maybe Haley stans just have a certain type, and Harvey simply ain't it; he's my least favorite, too lol.

  • My son is due in a month or so, and I just finished the hat he'll wear home from the hospital!

    The pattern is this one! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-bear-hat-8

    I made some adjustments, like starting with 8 rows of ribbing, then doing two kfb increases in row 9, before doing the rest of the pattern as described. I also picked up 10 stitches instead of 8 for the the ears, because of personal preference.

    I was able to finish it in one evening, and I'm thinking of making another for his cousin that will be born just two months after him :)
