Maybe my standards for soup are higher than they need to be, but I say it’s Bean Broth at best.

I’m assuming it’s his barrel.

If the boss wanted everyone lunching at once, I assume that’s probably when they would take their own lunch, so they would have just closed the office for that hour.
- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 2 days ago:
No, I just mean the traditional sense of “they understood it and thought about it enough to form an opinion on what might happen.”
Most people disagreed with Washington, but they still took it into account.

They did take out into account and George Washington himself said it was a terrible idea because it would lead to exactly where we are now.

Sorry for not being perfect enough for you! I don’t know why you say such horrible things to me!

I’m with Photuris, it’s a much more complicated game than you might expect, and they’ve been playing it their whole lives.
Rule #1 is to preserve your image at all times. Which means not flipping out in public.
Rule #2 is that everything is someone else’s fault. Which means if you call them out in public, they will cry and ask why you are so mean to them. Instant sympathy, and you look like the asshole, and assuming you yourself are not a narcissist, you’ll probably feel like an asshole too.
Most likely, if they really are a narcissist, you’ll try your test, think they aren’t, and look really bad in front of everyone.

I’m not convinced it’s only happened once.
A new bacterium could have been created in the ocean yesterday. How would we ever know?

Some of the phobias do have witty names like this, so I believed it. 🤷🏻♂️
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 6 days ago:
If one is hypothermic, I would actually recommend that they fart as much as possible.
Heat doesn’t come from nowhere. If a fart increases the temperature of the room, then it must decrease the temperature of the body it escaped from.

They specified that they were always the bottom, so this’ll be a whole new world for them!

How else do you explain them tasting the same?

Isn’t Fortnite still in beta or something?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I agree with the towers. Worst part of the game.
My main intention on my remastered playthrough was to try to break the game through spell creation and enchanting. I ended up with a few spells that would turn me invisible and pump my speed and acrobatics to insane levels. Most of those tower levels have you running all over and opening gates, but I just jumped over them and avoided every enemy as I sprinted to the top.

- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 week ago:
Women actually aren’t as inferior to men as you seem to think.
You pick any female athlete. I’ll challenge her at her preferred sport, and I’ll bet against myself 99/100 times.
Anyone who’s going through transition would have far less testosterone than I, and what I have isn’t going to help me beat a female athlete.
What it’s really doing is dehumanizing people. How would you feel if you tried out for a team and they said YOU had to play on the other genders team? No matter what you said, you could not convince them that you were what you know you are. Would you still play? No, you’d do exactly what they want you to do, just go away. Stay out of our sight because you’re strange and you don’t belong here.

Oh shit. 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks. Better fix that.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 week ago:
So, as an elder Millennial, the whole trans thing was foreign to me, and still is to many people my age. We just didn’t talk about it like we do now, and when we did, it was always a joke, so the idea made us uncomfortable. I’m saying it’s right, I’m saying that’s where a lot of people my age and older were raised on.
My default response to this was to agree that men should not play women’s sports.
It was a Reddit conversation that made me change my mind. One person had said If we are banning people who were born with a penis from women’s sports because they were born with an unfair advantage over other competitors, why aren’t we banning people over 6.5’ tall from the NBA? They were clearly born with an advantage that the rest of us don’t have. Some people are born smarter, faster, stronger than others, that’s just the way it is. There are a disproportionate number of black professional athletes, is that evidence that they were all born with an advantage? Would nearly as many people agree with banning black athletes from professional sports because of this apparent advantage? Of course not. They would call it out as a blatant hate crime, which is exactly what they are doing with trans people.

I don’t think anyone was hiding that. I assumed it was pretty common knowledge since I was a kid.

- Comment on better paying job dealing with egos vs peace of mind job that pays poorly. I'd be taking a 20% financial hit. Worth it? 1 week ago:
I spent about 20 years doing sales and I hated every minute of it.
I now have a consistent office job where I wear quite a few hats, but there’s no pressure for me to convince people to spend their money on crap they don’t need.
Not having the urge to step on the gas and plow into a cement wall on your way to work is worth far more than that 20%.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I don’t understand the hate, so I’ll try explaining myself and either redeem myself or dig myself deeper.
Religious zealots have been trying to ban explicit material since forever.
Saying Project 2025 caused the Steam ban is like saying Tipper Gore caused Project 2025.

Don’t be so selfish. Some of us have families that could do a lot with the lawsuit money.

My luck, I’d have an extra $20 to “treat myself”, hit the button and have a Switch 2 coming my way.
