Some of this is absurd, but I feel like a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek stuff or just “let’s see how far we can push things into ridiculousness before your grandma notices that something’s off”.
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 1 week ago:
The thing that’s bothering me is that they ended a question with a period. Why, random person on the Internet, why?
- Comment on Macaroni and cheese 1 week ago:
Somewhat on the same topic, can someone explain how “asf” came about (meaning “as fuck”)? I mean I get it, some lazy bums can’t be bothered to type “AF” (with the capital letters), but why add an extra letter out of nowhere?

And they’ve asked those 200 folks one by one for sure.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 weeks ago:
As I said, it’s not evident at all if those are full or discounted prices, so in the latter case it’s a misleading number.
Anyway, I don’t live in a place with broken wages and tipping system, so I don’t have to deal with problems like this. Where I am wait staff gets adequate wages and tips are only a bonus on top of that.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 weeks ago:
Still potentially misleading. If the receipt doesn’t say anything about the discount (which is not clear because we can’t see what’s above the total), then you can’t tell. Again, a simple disclaimer should be enough. If there are things like “please open box before eating pizza”, then this shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’re a regular at the place, you might know about the specials. If you just walk in one time and you don’t see a label, a receipt like this will be misleading if it doesn’t state the discounts and tip bases.

“Land of the free, home of the brave”, but with the caveat that those other professions don’t qualify as brave enough is my guess.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 weeks ago:
Yep. Hooray for self hosting!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 3 weeks ago:
The problem is that because of the way it’s written, it ends up misleading.
If there was a simple disclaimer like “tip based on non-discounted prices”, it would’ve been fine.

That’s still a high bar to clear.

I think I’ve never flown with that airline and this here makes it very likely that I never will.
- Comment on It’s the little things 1 month ago:
Yep. Generally if one property of it was so different, I’d expect many others to be different as a result of that too. So physics and chemistry as we know them (with so many things relying on water) wouldn’t exist. And thinking further how life on Earth started off in the water…
- Comment on Perspective 1 month ago:
The carpet has wear on one side, and it doesn’t make sense for the wear to be on the front of each stair, so most likely we’re looking down from the top of the flight of stairs.

Is “off boobs” the opposite of “on boobs”? Asking for a friend, obviously.

Oh, yes, you’re right! I read the question again.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 months ago:
Commendable for the kid to be thinking outside of the box, and a bit shitty of the teacher for not giving them maybe half a point (because it’s a correct answer, but not the correct/expected answer). The test maker is also to blame - they should’ve taken care to eliminate all ambiguity - it’s a math test after all.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 months ago:
I’d be interested in how this documenting could be done. If you’re a manufacturer, you’d probably want to keep everything secret - except what’s needed for a patent for example - otherwise the competition might get an idea of the proprietary things you make in house.

I feel like this should’ve been discussed before moving in together. Still not too late to talk though - if he’s even a little bit considerate, he’ll agree to only smoke outside.
- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 3 months ago:
The irony is that before M1, while they were on x86, Apple computers were not that different than the rest besides having special motherboards and funky firmware. Even ARM now isn’t proprietary tech, it just isn’t adopted by the others (yet). All in all it’s an artificial distinction so that some people can be separated from their money.
- Comment on Not how you ride a horse 3 months ago:
Someone probably wanted to post it somewhere where you can’t see the image in its full height (e.g. Instagram), but cropping it like that required the bubble to be redone.
Not excusable, of course, and disrespectful to the artist - I’m just trying to think of the reasoning.
