This is such a weird comment. Did you read the part that you didn’t quote? If I didn’t read the article, where would I have gotten “Our Lady of Penha” from?

I don’t speak Portuguese. “Our Lady of Penha” sounds…well…I’m making assumptions, let’s just say that. (Ladies are ladies, regardless of Penha.)

Homophobic electricians! Harrumph!

Give us the murder rope!

That’s the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don’t remember anymore.

The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn’t give access to the file system.

Jamie Loftus crying and screaming right now.

I don’t want to be a stick in the mud, but do we really need to have a medical malpractice competition? How about a nice game of chess?

Who is it?

In the 00’s I started wearing nail polish. I wasn’t sure “why”, but I liked it, so f other people’s opinions.

People thought I was gay. I was bi, but gay guys didn’t find nail polish attractive either, so this was a constant refrain.

(Took me until 2020 to realize I was trans)

I’m doing keto, but with muffins.

In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.

I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?

Good point. I am slightly salty about flammable and inflammable though.

Alternatively, grasp the bundle with both hands, close to the middle. Rotate your wrists quickly in opposite directions to exert enough sheer force to cleave the spaghetti in twain.

I don’t know why, but the outcome is tastiest if you Robot Chicken an Italian grandmother to watch you do it.

The idea of an entire store to sell china is so outdated to be pretty hilarious. Pretty sure the only place I’ve even seen China is at my Grandmother’s house on Thanksgiving.

Warning: lighthearted yammering about etymology ahead 🤓

The earliest instance of the proverb in its present form seems be from 1898:- “Curious how great minds think alike. My pupil wrote me the same explanation about his non-appearance.” [1898 C. G. Robertson Voces Academicae]

The eraliest version of it at all seems to be from 1618 when D. Belchier wrote “Though he made that verse, Those words were made before. Good wits doe jumpe.” [1618 D. Belchier Hans Beer-Pot ] ( The word jump used in the sense of ‘agree completely’ or ‘coincide’ is now archaic.)

A few years back a list of “real quotes that means something different than people think they do” went around. That contained the “fools seldom differ” line and it seems to have taken off from there. I’m sure it was used earlier, but didn’t find an origin.

Enough people are thirsty for him that he can ride the notoriety and social cache for years, regardless. Of the people most into him, most don’t care that much for the judicial system regardless, so the court’s decision won’t matter that much.

His views are oddly right wing and I don’t think he’s the sort to lead a movement, so he’ll probably fade into obscurity in the general public.

Definitely. They’re claiming that a McDonald’s worker called the cops on a nondescript (well, kinda attractive) white guy? A hundred Luigis eat there every day, and the “Bartender that remembers someone from three days ago” is an artifact of cop dramas.

When I worked in fast food, I called the customers “wallets with feet”. Jeffrey Dahmer and Tim McVeigh could have come in together and I wouldn’t have noticed.

No one will ever convince me that the weapon they “found” wasn’t drenched in Central Park pond water.

As a general rule, don’t use language someone asks you not to use.

Even better, rather than thinking about specific actions, just try to treat everyone with genuine respect. If you commit a faux pas, learn from it, chuckle at yourself, and move on. 😊

I’m not sure I understand what point you’re trying to make.

Democrats are not the left. It’s bad that they lose so often. If they weren’t so clearly beholden to their corporate donors they would win more.

If the shoe fits, wear it. It’s weird that you think my comment “focused” on white people, and also weird that you’re trying to blame all Americans when Republicans are 90% white and the only group that the majority of which ever voted for Republicans.

Republicans are a white problem. There is no other way to put it. Sorry I’m not sorry if you’re unused to being talked about collectively., but not doing so is burying the lede. Every time you said “people”, it would be more accurate if you said “white people”, but you don’t even understand why you don’t do that.
