  • Minor nitpick: he was Captain, not Chief.

    And him trying to pass for straight was some of the funniest scenes in the show:

    Guard: It just seems like you wanna be with Jamie-Lynn. I mean, you keep talking about her thigh gap.

    Captain Holt: That’s my favorite part of a woman. There’s nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.

    Because so much depends on the income tax based on the tax year. We calculate our taxes based on our annual income. Our qualifications for government benefits (subsidized housing, food, healthcare, financial aid for universities) are keyed to our annual income, as reported on our taxes. Many programs, even for richer people, also look to income: tax credits for electric cars, specialized retirement accounts, etc.

    And because lying on your taxes is a serious crime, many private banks and landlords use those annual figures as proof of income for loans, credit cards, long term leases, etc.

    It just pervades how we think of money, on an annual basis.

    Yeah, I end up trying to run to the cadence of music, and so I don’t run to music.

    Well you can always just put together a playlist of your preferred cadence for that particular workout. I’m usually a 180 steps per minute kind of runner, so I like 90 bpm songs.

    Yeah I always thought that emojis were used most heavily by Gen Z. Millennials seem more likely to use abbreviations like “lol” and “lmao,” and Gen X seems more likely to just type “haha.” I don’t know what boomers do, send audio clips of them laughing?

    So I had my dick out, which was the style at the time. “Dicks out for Harambe,” you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, I had my dick out, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any zippers then, because of the tariffs. The only thing you could get were those shitty button fly pants.

    Not all kids are “climb into an animal enclosure at the zoo” dumb. That’s a special kind of dumb.

    Have you ever had to care for 3-year-olds? I’d argue that probably more than 80% of 3 year olds are “climb into an animal enclosure at the zoo” dumb. And honestly, for the 20% you don’t have to worry about, it’s not intelligence that keeps them out, it’s other personality traits or physical abilities.

    There’s definitely room for more happy people in the mix. I try my best to inject humor and whimsy here and there, while above all else trying to stay engaged with the types of topics I’m interested in (explaining things I know, asking about things I don’t know, and generally keeping topics alive if they’re good topics I want to continue).

    I generally delete my draft comments that come off as rude, before posting them, because I’m not sure this place needs more negativity.





  • Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.

    Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards “sportsball” and “clubbing,” which reinforces my point that he’s not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.

    In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

    Deep dish is delicious. Lasagna is delicious. Baked ziti is delicious. Calzones are delicious.

    Look, you can’t go wrong with tomato sauce, cheese, dough, and optional meat. It’s all delicious, and playing around with different ratios is still great.
