I’ll be thinking of this story next time a company claims that, “We’re a family here.”

due to an accent

Those darn British accents did it again!

And the account was made 3 days ago. Ugh, to the block list they go.

You lower most of your fingers if they tried to cut you off.

I love how you phrased this.

Lived in the states my entire life. Never heard of that.

I partly want it for the drink, but I mostly want it for the nostalgia. I’ve got fond memories of sharing that drink with a high school friend that passed away. If I get ahold of a bottle, I’ll be cheers-ing to him, even if it’s plastic.

Looks like the closest retailer is 45 minutes away from me. Not really worth a trip for, and I wouldn’t trust mailing to my address (people steal packages around here.)

But ah well, thank you anyway! Hopefully others can benefit from your link as well.

Wish I could find some Bawls today.

This isn’t an oversight; it’s a promise. TDF says that if your work can’t leave the building for legal or privacy reasons, the only way to prove that later (during an audit, for example) is if the software never gave it anywhere to go.

I love this. It’s a subtle burn, but it’s well-aimed.

You say it’s not relevant to the joke, but a realistic reflection wouldn’t show a side-by-side depiction. The way it’s portrayed here highlights the hair cut that the animal is upset about, which is key to the joke.

It might not be realistic, but I see this as “artistic license,” along with the other absurd elements.

A varied diet provides protein as well.

Science time! Proteins are made up of amino acids. Certain chains of amino acids form “complete proteins,” which are what most people think of as “protein.” However, the constituent amino acids connect with each other in our bodies even if they’re obtained from different sources. So two sources of “incomplete” proteins can still provide “complete proteins” if both are consumed. Which means it’s a lot easier to get your protein from a varied, vegan diet than most people might think.

Incomplete vs complete proteins on WebMD.

It’s also not how “1/2 off” cuts work, animals don’t go to a barber, nor do they talk.

But the reflection being unrealistic, yes, that’s where we draw the line.

Reminds me of the robot burlesque performance on Futurama.

At first I read this and was like, “Wait, who?” I went back to the main page and tried seeing any posts by that name. I tried every sort-type and didn’t see it. So I looked up the name directly.

Found the profile. In the corner, I saw the button: “Unblock user.”

Ha! No wonder I didn’t recognize the name. - turns out I already blocked them some time ago! I rarely block anybody, their posts must have overwhelmingly been utter garbage to make it onto that short list.

That translation makes sense - Mediterranean climates (like Greece has) don’t have to deal with humid summers. It’s easier to like hot weather when your sweat evaporates.

In places with hot, humid summers, sweat just piles up until you’re a shiny, dripping, salty mess. And you still feel hot.

It also makes sense if “sunshine” is considered “good weather.” Mediterranean climates have their wet season in winter, so summers are the dry season, with clear skies and little rain. It makes sense in Greece, but other places get regular thunderstorms in summer, occasional tropical storms/hurricanes, or season-long monsoons that bring torrential rain inland.

Just take me down, killbots. I’m tired of this world.

Yes, those are certainly all words.

I’m not the OP, I’m not the one talking about child-marriage. Thus why I’m basing my distaste for fundies on the things I said above.

Okay okay, message received. I’ll just stick to being upset at fundamentalist Christians for indoctrinating children, inhibiting their ability to develop critical thinking skills, sowing hatred and fear, and for holding disproportionate power in politics that drags back science and cultural progress for everyone.

I like finding movies on hotel cable. Many of the movies I saw when young weren’t from going to the theater, but rather from walking through the living room after someone else put something on, or by flipping through the channels and landing on something that captured my interest. It’s hard to get that experience nowadays. I’m more likely to get analysis paralysis from seeing all the films out there and end up rewatching the entirety of Futurama for the 200th time instead.
