- Comment on Does the way you say 'France' rhyme with 'pants' or 'aunts'? How the Australian accent is changing 9 months ago:
Yeah we need to resolve that first. Aunts are cool and take you to a theme park on summer break, whereas aunts don’t let you sit on the good furniture and the only candy they have are those lozenges with the wrapper that looks like a strawberry

- Comment on Where do milsim video games occurs nowadays ? 10 months ago:
World of Tanks/World of Warships?
Neither uses especially real locations, and teams are made up of players regardless of the national origins of their respective vehicles. So my buddy in a Soviet T-34 can battle alongside my Sherman M4. There’s no overarching “nation vs nation” story to either game.

- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 10 months ago:
When it affects your relationships and your life. My wife has a complex now about crunching in front of me and chooses food accordingly, which makes me feel terrible.
Or when I can’t focus on what my boss is saying because she’s eating almonds while she talks.
I just try to find coping behaviors and sometimes literally bite my lip to get thru some situations.
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 10 months ago:
I have it. The sounds of people eating, especially slurping or crunching, are literally repulsive. I have to have something else to train my focus on or else I’ll get up and bolt.
Other repetitive sounds trigger it too: people popping gum, chewing ice, clipping fingernails, etc. But not too bad with keyboards and typing.

- Comment on To prevent mashed potatoes from being gummy, boil the potatoes whole. 10 months ago:
It’s the beaters making it gummy. Mash by hand, it’s too easy to overdo with an electric mixer.
- Comment on To prevent mashed potatoes from being gummy, boil the potatoes whole. 10 months ago:
They’re over-mixing, I bet.

I’ve heard gridiron. Just not “gridiron football” together.
- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 10 months ago:
I work in professional sports (in a tangentially related field, at least) and with NFL in particular for almost 25 years and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered “gridiron football” as a turn of phrase.
