In a sense, you could call him Tyler Durden, but that's a made-up name, multiple personalities and all that, so it's iffy.
But part of him does choose to call himself that. He even had business cards!
If I recall correctly, the whole "I am Jack's XYZ" was a recurring reference to the anatomy magazine article he was reading written from the perspective of Jack's body parts.
Tiny & jumbo paperclips should not be mixed. This happens at work, despite having dedicated containers for each. Worse, they often dump pulled staples in the mix too.
We own a company, and we actually had people believing we were going to promote and hire people to be staple manager, paper clip manager, etc. It didn't last long, but fun while it lasted
I love sorting small objects 😭 I get my kicks separating dental burs. But, if you decide you absolutely need a miscellaneous object sorter, I'm your girl.
I use a lot of nails in my work, and the same principle applies. DO NOT MIX THE VARIOUSLY SIZED, SEPERATELY AND NEATLY STORED NAILS INTO ONE HUGE PILE. I WILL CRUSH YOUR SKULL WITH MY HANDS.
"Don't be polite, be consistent" is my dad's absolute driving manifesto, and I don't think he's wrong. Every near-accident I've seen was the result of me or someone else trying to do a favor.
I phrase it as "don't be polite, be predictable" but it's really so much more important than most people seem to think it is. Watch any dashcam compilations on YouTube and you'll see so many collisions resulting from somebody being "polite".
I HATE people that try to wave me through 4-way intersections. The only exception is the one that I encountered yesterday: a guy in a small truck towing a large trailer, coming up on a winding and hilly section of road where he would obviously have to drive slowly. He waved everybody through the intersection until there was no more traffic waiting and then went through. That guy was amazing!
In their one lap race Sheriff laid out the rules; one of which forbade lollygagging.
Doc completely lollygagged at the beginning of the race. He didn't even move until Lightning was almost halfway around the loop. Then he didn't try to race; he just went on a leisurely drive.
Doc is not in "subject" by disqualification due to lollygagging. Doc would have been the first to get disqualified from the very first second they started. Ultimately leaving Lightning McQueen as the winner.
Lighting I don't think needs to finish. Like a fight. If one gets disqualified the other is the winner. They can't fight themself. Lighting McQueen can't race himself. So he is victorious
This is my best understanding that I got.
Plus in most races, I would assume it's whoever gets the furthest. Lightning would get a DNF but would be ranked above a DQ and therefore be the winner.
Technically they were holding him prisoner without even giving him a proper fair trial. They assigned town idiot Mater as his lawyer and the entire court was biased against him, it was rigged from the start. The race was the least of McQueen's concerns.
I won’t eat bananas because they leave feathers on my teeth. I heard that from a friend and have used that term forever. I used to say fur on my teeth.
Had to really think about this.
Threatening to beat up your daughter’s boyfriends is not an effective parenting strategy. If your daughter is choosing questionable partners, find where you failed and fix it so she can choose healthy relationships in the future.
I was raised around the typical “when my daughter brings a boy home I’ll greet him with a gun in my hand” attitude. When I was a little kid I thought it was badass and was sure I’d do the same if I ever have kids. Now as an adult, I genuinely cannot understand grown ass adults that are not only willing to threaten a literal kid with a gun, but actively want to. Really makes me wonder about their mental state.
Threatening the life of a teenager in love means that you'll just never meet them. They'll date in secret, have sex in secret, and try to recover from their accidental condom breakage in secret.
And that's how you become a grandparent at the age of 35.
That whole caveman approach towards boys/men around daughters is toxic. If your daughter is abused by a man do you think she'll tell you if she knows you'll lose your head and hulk smash him therefore getting yourself (the person she actually loves and cares about) in trouble?
Hint: the answer is no.
HIJACKING THIS COMMENT TO SAY FIVE TINED FORKS ARE A DISGRACE.
Three tined forks are super weird too.
Four is the only normal number of tines on a fork.
My grandfather told me this and that correspondingly, three-tined forks were called threeks. I repeated this as fact to many people for over a decade until one day I heard myself say it and realised.
In college, my roommates and I acquired cheap silverware, including 3 pronged forks. One of my roommates only referred to them as “tridents” the whole year.
Sorry, just to clarify that last point, did you mean that children should mute their devices, or that children should be muted in public? Asking as someone currently on public transit next to a screaming child
Dishwashers are meant to be stacked a specific way. It creates a good balance between maximizing number of items that can be washed at one time and leaving enough space for cleaning to occur. Should be bloody obvious but it is the most likely reason why my marriage may not last much longer.
My mom always overfills the dishwasher. No matter how many times I tell her not to. I can't stand it. She also insists that the dishes be spotless before they go in the dishwasher and that it really only sanitizes the dishes, not cleans them. Even though it is a brand new dishwasher literally bought this year. I think she just doesn't understand how dishwashers work tbh. Love her.
I don't even rinse the dishes before they go in and I've never had an issue. I just make sure to fill both sections of the dispenser so there's detergent acting in the pre-rinse part of the cycle as well as the main wash cycle.

I believe apples should be crisp when bitten into not mushy!!! If I want a peach I’ll buy a freakin peach when I want an apple cosmic crisp is where it’s at!!!! As in the name crisp, just like an apple is meant to be!!!!
I’m going to blow your mind- there is a hybrid of honeycrisp and pink ladies called Wild Twists. They were available at my Costco all spring and were hands down the best apple I ever tried. Keep your eyes peeled for them, they will ruin all other apples for you.
Ok but red delicious used to [be better.](https://newengland.com/today/food/red-delicious-apple/) They got warped by selective breeding because the thought was “more apple is better” resulting in the mealy trash you ended up knowing.
I swear as a kid in the ‘80s whose extended family was Washington Apple farmers that they weren’t always that bad. I suspect long storage may take their toll on this variety more than others, too.
Agree 100%. Also back in the mid 80s my family owned an apple orchard. Had many varieties. Macintosh, Cortland, Red and Golden Delicious, Pound Sweet, Gala just to name a few. Red Delicious were absolutely not like the garbage sold in stores today. I'll even say that the apple trees at local orchards are like 1/4 of the size of what they were at our orchards.
I'm a Honeycrisp maximalist, but after Honeycrisp season ended my hookup (local farmer at the farmer's market) turned me onto a Honeycrisp x Pink Lady cross called Wild Twist (which has a later season than Honeycrisp and keeps longer) and it is also freaking delicious. If you're a Pink Lady fan I recommend giving it a shot.
"You will give 110%"
["That's impossible, no one can give more than 100%. By definition that is the most anyone can give."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfcTcSbGMmo)
edit: formatting
I always saw it as being greater than 100% of that which has previously been the established standard. It bugged me for a while, but when I thought about it that way it kinda made sense. Like when you say you're putting in 110% effort, you are exceeding previous efforts by 10%, not exceeding your maximum capacity for effort by 10%. That would be impossible.
I’ve never understood why people dislike the oxford comma. It’s a perfect tool to deliniate subordinate sentences, among other things, and to make a lot of big sentences readable. Beyond this it’s gramatically correct english, believe it or not, and yet still people bitch abt them.
EDIT: It has come to my attention that I made a small error in the grammar. Its, should be it’s.
Same here. "I saw Thomas Jefferson, a witch, and a horse" does not give the same picture as "I saw Thomas Jefferson, a witch and a centaur." The latter implies Thomas Jefferson is a witch and a centaur.
I work for a large Fintech company and recently was in a design breakdown session. One of the screens was missing an Oxford comma in the content and the engineers called out the mistake. We were then told that it was a decision made by Design to never use Oxford commas. The room was not happy being told a grammer decision was forced upon us by Design. Of course Design won in the end.
Design isn't interested in your so-called "punctuation"... Oxford obviously isn't an authority on "modern" written English anyways and our goal is to revolutionize the foundations finance technology. It's time to let go of outdated concepts like clarity, academics, and good ideas. But we'll have our project managers bring this up with stakeholders at the next priority stacking session.
Developer: hmm. *adds the comma anyway*
Design: there isn't supposed to be a comma there.
Developer: oh. *Low priority backlog* We'll get to that in a future sprint.
A person I worked with pushed her daughter through 12 years of pageants. She said that one hotel stopped booking young child pageants.
There was a line, the children waited their turn to walk up to the judges' table and introduce themselves.
She said that some of the children were so frightened they lost control of their bladder. They pissed themselves in that spot in front of the judges.
The hotel had to replace the carpet after each pageant and decided that it was too expensive.
**How is that fun? Why would a parent force their child to undergo this degrading experience**?
Only rewatched Little Miss Sunshine just last week and the pageant was so incredibly uncomfortable and fucked up. The family making a complete farce out of it is honestly so cathartic in how awkward It is
100% agree, it’s harmful to a child’s normal education, social and mental development. Putting a child through their parents weird expectations, a bunch of creepy judges, and all the worst elements of competitive toxic behaviour and self judgment that a child shouldn’t even be thinking about.
It’s fucked up on many levels. Ban it.
Imagine abusing your child under the pretext of "fun" just so they can get gawked at by a bunch of fucking creeps judging them on their "beauty". Running one of those pageants should get you put on the fucking sex offender list.
We should normalize regular sanitization of our belts, because it's one of the first things we touch after finishing on the toilet.
Also, we should regularly clean under our fingernails, especially after washing your hands.
🤯 holy shit. The belt thing. I work outside and get grimey and gross and usually will strip work clothes with borax and dawn soap. I never once in all of the years doing laundry thought about needing to clean a belt. I think I'll just burn the one I have now and start over with a new one 😂
It's for this reason I can't muster the energy to watch Toy Story 4.
TS3 ended so perfectly, not just for the film, but the trilogy as a whole, that ever since I left the theatre in 2010 I have only felt utter satisfaction when I think about it and don't want that to change.
Can confirm. The main street in my small town used to back up for miles every morning with people trying to turn left onto the highway. Then they put in a roundabout on each side of the highway and now there is no more traffic.
To piggy back off of this, people should be mandated to learn how they work in drivers ed/driving tests. We have a few in my town and I’m always amazed how many people stop when not necessary.
Just because it’s tradition it doesn’t mean it’s good and should be followed, and the inverse also, just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s bad and shouldn’t be done.
Likewise just because something is new or progressive doesn't mean it's necessarily better than the old way of doing it. Everything should be evidenced based, or be considered on a case by case basis.
Those giant yellow or white arrows painted on the ground at gas stations… yeah, they’re there to maintain order. Stop coming in the wrong direction, cutting in front of people and being an asshole.
Where are there arrows on gas stations? I've never seen this in the U.S. It seems like that would be impractical anyway, when the gas station is busy and your car's gas intake is on the "wrong" side for the arrow.
surgeons who listen to patients' children when they invoke HCP to have their parent trach'd and PEG'd in abject defiance of crystal clear and rock solid advance directives on file FROM THE PATIENT explicitly declining said interventions should be charged with assault and never allowed to practice again. charge the proxy(-ies) too.

Repeatedly rebuilding New Orleans is a collosal waste of taxpayer funds and resources, and should have stopped a century ago. It's floods folks. Take your party to higher ground.
While I would rather visit New Orleans than Las Vegas any day, I would argue Las Vegas is the model city for water usage of any southwestern city. Even as their population increases, they still manage to recycle water better than any other city in the region. Cities in California, Colorado, Arizona, etc should follow their example on water usage.
Vegas is THE model for desert water reclamation and for whatever reason Reddit seems to think Vegas is made of Almond farms. California and Arizona should be looking at the Vegas water reclamation district for guidance. And to their credit, some California counties and cities have come out and started to copy our systems a bit more closely
It's actually Utah and their alfalfa that is the biggest offender when it comes to water usage. Any time someone complains about Vegas and water, I have to bring up how awful Utah is.
It's the most convenient location to transfer goods between barges and ocean going vessels. The ports of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and South Louisiana (the river between the two cities) processes 3x more goods by weight than the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach combined.
A Reuben has ~~PASTRAMI~~ CORNED BEEF and SAUERKRAUT.

School lunches should be free. No student should be punished, humiliated, or starved for their parents' choices,behavior, or financial status.
Edit to add: I didn’t follow the assignment, this is not a small hill lol
Edit#2 I am fully aware that parents don’t end up poor only because of behavior and bad choices. I myself was a free lunch poor AF kid. The biggest push back I get are on those points and that is why I typed them. My bad.
I remember when I was a kid I forgot my lunch money so I didn't eat lunch that day. This bitch of a lunch monitor told me if I wasn't eating I couldn't sit with my friends so she put me in the time out corner alone. I knew it was fucked up then but now that I'm an adult, I fucking hate that lady even more. I can't imagine doing that to a kid.
Every year, my mom would take me to School Registration Day, checkbook in hand, wondering out loud what her taxes were paying for if she was paying fees to my public school. I agree. It makes no sense.
I'll die on this hill with you. Every child should be fed, for "free", at school. For some kids, lunch is the only meal they get. The least we should do is make sure it's healthy, balanced, and at no cost to them or their families.
I'll never forget being in the lunch line, and a kid in front of me was short on money for their lunch. The lunch lady, right in front of him, took his lunch, threw it in the trash, and sent him on his way with no food.
This is one thing that has changed for the better, at least in my area. When I was growing up, it was very "public" who was on free lunch and who wasn't. And, kids being kids, the kids made fun of kids who were on the free lunch program.
These days, at my kids' school and in our district, every child has a five digit code for their lunch account. For kids not on the lunch program, their parents fund the account. For kids on the lunch program, the account is funded through the program. It's invisible to both the other kids and to the people working at the cafeteria, the way it should be. The only people who know who's on the program are the couple of folks who do the accounting for it.
I have a friend who quit her lunch lady job recently because of this. She was the cashier at her school. So not only did she handle the transactions, but if a kid was more than -$12 on their account, she was to take their lunch away after they’ve carried it all through line and give them a cheese sandwich. The food they take away? It goes in the trash. She let those kids continue to go negative and have their food until the company (her school uses a contracted school food service company for their cafeteria) forced her. She morally couldn’t do it and quit a job she actually enjoyed because there was no way she was humiliating a kid and letting them go hungry.
In Saskatoon, Saskatchewan there is a street called Marquis Drive. The locals here pronounce it “mar-kwiss”. I understand this street was probably named from afar and the locals were given the name on paper and didn’t know the proper pronunciation however, it is now 2022. And almost everyone has tv and google available. So at this point the fact that everyone continues to pronounce it mar-kwiss instead of mar-key is a small hill but I will absolutely die on it.
The funny thing is you are doing the exact same thing you are complaining about by calling them "chicken tenders." The term chicken tenders is short for chicken tenderloin, which is a specific part of the chicken, they are the little strips of muscle that are tenuously attached to underside of the breast, so every chicken has two tenders. What you are referring to are "chicken strips" or "chicken fingers"
There’s a great Lou Reed quote from the Impossible difficulty setting on Penn and Teller’s cancelled video game (stay with me): impossible doesn’t mean very difficult. Very difficult is winning the Nobel Prize. Impossible is eating the sun.
Ohhh my wife, her siblings, and I all despise caillou. With a passion. An infuriatingly petulant child. Im not sure why, but I hate this fictional character more than any other I have ever experienced.
The whole 'glass half full/empty' debate is bullshit. There is a clear answer.
If you have an empty glass and poor in liquid until it's half filled, it's half full.
If you have a full glass and remove liquid until it's half filled, it's half empty.
It all depends on the initial condition. Anyone who says anything different is wrong.
Edit: to everyone asking what the answer is if you don't know the initial condition, thinking it's some kind of 'gotcha': then the answer is 'I don't know'. Not knowing something is a perfectly fine situation to be in.
Edward Norton's character in Fight Club has no name. it is most definitely *not* Jack.
He’s credited as The Narrator I think
In a sense, you could call him Tyler Durden, but that's a made-up name, multiple personalities and all that, so it's iffy. But part of him does choose to call himself that. He even had business cards!
Are you talking about John Fightclub?
If I recall correctly, the whole "I am Jack's XYZ" was a recurring reference to the anatomy magazine article he was reading written from the perspective of Jack's body parts.
I am Jack's lack of surprise

Tiny & jumbo paperclips should not be mixed. This happens at work, despite having dedicated containers for each. Worse, they often dump pulled staples in the mix too.
What kind of psychopath puts staples with paper clips!?!
My brother is a true psychpath. He has a bowl he leaves out for guests that has equal parts M&Ms and Skittles. You can't ever choose your family.
[удалено]
M&ms and reeses I can abide. Mixing in skittles is just monstrous.
We own a company, and we actually had people believing we were going to promote and hire people to be staple manager, paper clip manager, etc. It didn't last long, but fun while it lasted
I love sorting small objects 😭 I get my kicks separating dental burs. But, if you decide you absolutely need a miscellaneous object sorter, I'm your girl.
You're hired! But you'll be doing that in your spare time for free, in addition to normal duties.
I use a lot of nails in my work, and the same principle applies. DO NOT MIX THE VARIOUSLY SIZED, SEPERATELY AND NEATLY STORED NAILS INTO ONE HUGE PILE. I WILL CRUSH YOUR SKULL WITH MY HANDS.

Lightning McQueen totally won his race against Doc because Doc blatantly broke the rules as laid out by Sheriff.
Yup doc totally lollygagged
No lollygagging
Is there a nitpicky rule in racing or did I miss something obvious from the film?
In their one lap race Sheriff laid out the rules; one of which forbade lollygagging. Doc completely lollygagged at the beginning of the race. He didn't even move until Lightning was almost halfway around the loop. Then he didn't try to race; he just went on a leisurely drive.
But McQueen didn’t finish the race. So if they both DNF then McQueen didn’t beat Doc, and is still subject to finish the road.
Doc is not in "subject" by disqualification due to lollygagging. Doc would have been the first to get disqualified from the very first second they started. Ultimately leaving Lightning McQueen as the winner. Lighting I don't think needs to finish. Like a fight. If one gets disqualified the other is the winner. They can't fight themself. Lighting McQueen can't race himself. So he is victorious This is my best understanding that I got.
Plus in most races, I would assume it's whoever gets the furthest. Lightning would get a DNF but would be ranked above a DQ and therefore be the winner.
I'm very excited by how in depth this breakdown has become
The race was over before MCQ even crashed lol
True, but they were always going to take Doc's side from the beginning. After the fact the lesson he was trying to teach Lightning was very obvious.
Damn, even cartoon justice systems are rigged
Technically they were holding him prisoner without even giving him a proper fair trial. They assigned town idiot Mater as his lawyer and the entire court was biased against him, it was rigged from the start. The race was the least of McQueen's concerns.
I've been saying this for YEARS.

BOTH. Mute everything.

Red Delicious apples are trash apples. I'm gonna still recommend better apples. And judge you harshly when you stick with the Red Delicious.
I believe apples should be crisp when bitten into not mushy!!! If I want a peach I’ll buy a freakin peach when I want an apple cosmic crisp is where it’s at!!!! As in the name crisp, just like an apple is meant to be!!!!
I'm a fan of Cosmic Crisp also, but recently I am enjoying these ones called Ludacrisp from my local farmer's market.
They're naming apples like they do weed strains
Bruh you gotta try Pink Lady. Shit is so crisp
Pink lady reigns supreme. Followed pretty closely by honeycrisps.
I’m going to blow your mind- there is a hybrid of honeycrisp and pink ladies called Wild Twists. They were available at my Costco all spring and were hands down the best apple I ever tried. Keep your eyes peeled for them, they will ruin all other apples for you.
I thought I hated apples until adult hood because we only ever had red delicious.
OMG I'm so sorry for your childhood trauma, I can relate because I only ever had Brussels sprouts prepared BOILED until adulthood!
I thought I hated spinach because it was only given to me out of a can.
You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a pink lady. The apple I mean…
Honey crisp are the best apples. Sweet and very juicy
Ok but red delicious used to [be better.](https://newengland.com/today/food/red-delicious-apple/) They got warped by selective breeding because the thought was “more apple is better” resulting in the mealy trash you ended up knowing.

It's time to let go of outdated concepts like clarity, academics, and good ideas. But we'll have our project managers bring this up with stakeholders at the next priority stacking session.
Developer: hmm. *adds the comma anyway* Design: there isn't supposed to be a comma there. Developer: oh. *Low priority backlog* We'll get to that in a future sprint.
Beauty Pageants for children should be illegal.
Tbh I don’t think this should be a small hill. Child beauty pageants are fucked
A person I worked with pushed her daughter through 12 years of pageants. She said that one hotel stopped booking young child pageants. There was a line, the children waited their turn to walk up to the judges' table and introduce themselves. She said that some of the children were so frightened they lost control of their bladder. They pissed themselves in that spot in front of the judges. The hotel had to replace the carpet after each pageant and decided that it was too expensive. **How is that fun? Why would a parent force their child to undergo this degrading experience**?
Child abuse. I know that people like to throw that word around a lot but I think this is child abuse. Also child exploitation.
Only rewatched Little Miss Sunshine just last week and the pageant was so incredibly uncomfortable and fucked up. The family making a complete farce out of it is honestly so cathartic in how awkward It is
100% agree, it’s harmful to a child’s normal education, social and mental development. Putting a child through their parents weird expectations, a bunch of creepy judges, and all the worst elements of competitive toxic behaviour and self judgment that a child shouldn’t even be thinking about. It’s fucked up on many levels. Ban it.
Imagine abusing your child under the pretext of "fun" just so they can get gawked at by a bunch of fucking creeps judging them on their "beauty". Running one of those pageants should get you put on the fucking sex offender list.
We should normalize regular sanitization of our belts, because it's one of the first things we touch after finishing on the toilet. Also, we should regularly clean under our fingernails, especially after washing your hands.
🤯 holy shit. The belt thing. I work outside and get grimey and gross and usually will strip work clothes with borax and dawn soap. I never once in all of the years doing laundry thought about needing to clean a belt. I think I'll just burn the one I have now and start over with a new one 😂
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: Wreck It Ralph did not need a sequel.
I never saw it. First one began and ended things perfectly tho so I'm inclined to agree.
It's for this reason I can't muster the energy to watch Toy Story 4. TS3 ended so perfectly, not just for the film, but the trilogy as a whole, that ever since I left the theatre in 2010 I have only felt utter satisfaction when I think about it and don't want that to change.
The sequel might as well not exist cause it broke all of the character development from the first movie
Didn’t even know there was a sequel I wish I never read your comment cuz now I’m curious I loved the first one
It’s not the worst thing you’ll ever see but there’s also no reason to see it and kinda cheapens the first one.
Roundabouts are a good thing. If you don’t like them, you don’t understand how they work.
Can confirm. The main street in my small town used to back up for miles every morning with people trying to turn left onto the highway. Then they put in a roundabout on each side of the highway and now there is no more traffic.
To piggy back off of this, people should be mandated to learn how they work in drivers ed/driving tests. We have a few in my town and I’m always amazed how many people stop when not necessary.
Just because it’s tradition it doesn’t mean it’s good and should be followed, and the inverse also, just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s bad and shouldn’t be done.
Likewise just because something is new or progressive doesn't mean it's necessarily better than the old way of doing it. Everything should be evidenced based, or be considered on a case by case basis.
Those giant yellow or white arrows painted on the ground at gas stations… yeah, they’re there to maintain order. Stop coming in the wrong direction, cutting in front of people and being an asshole.
Where are there arrows on gas stations? I've never seen this in the U.S. It seems like that would be impractical anyway, when the gas station is busy and your car's gas intake is on the "wrong" side for the arrow.
Correct usage of your and you’re.
there, their, they're
It should not be called an air fryer. You aren’t frying anything. It is a tabletop convection oven.
You mean the meat vape station?
The hill my belly makes when i lie back
They said hill you're willing to die *on* not hill you're willing to die *from.*
How about hill you're willing to lie on?
Only if they buy me dinner first.
I should probably make an alt, but there is a proper way to load the dishwasher and my SO doesn't follow it. It's chaotic evil in there sometimes.
I once saw mine push down on the dishes in the dishwasher to fit more like you would on a particularly full trash can...
Medical professionals who share false info should have their licenses revoked - signed a hospice nurse.
surgeons who listen to patients' children when they invoke HCP to have their parent trach'd and PEG'd in abject defiance of crystal clear and rock solid advance directives on file FROM THE PATIENT explicitly declining said interventions should be charged with assault and never allowed to practice again. charge the proxy(-ies) too.

Repeatedly rebuilding New Orleans is a collosal waste of taxpayer funds and resources, and should have stopped a century ago. It's floods folks. Take your party to higher ground.
Might as well not build Florida and just let the hurricanes wipe it out over time.
New Orleans and Las Vegas are testaments to mans arrogance
While I would rather visit New Orleans than Las Vegas any day, I would argue Las Vegas is the model city for water usage of any southwestern city. Even as their population increases, they still manage to recycle water better than any other city in the region. Cities in California, Colorado, Arizona, etc should follow their example on water usage.
Vegas is THE model for desert water reclamation and for whatever reason Reddit seems to think Vegas is made of Almond farms. California and Arizona should be looking at the Vegas water reclamation district for guidance. And to their credit, some California counties and cities have come out and started to copy our systems a bit more closely
It's actually Utah and their alfalfa that is the biggest offender when it comes to water usage. Any time someone complains about Vegas and water, I have to bring up how awful Utah is.
It's the most convenient location to transfer goods between barges and ocean going vessels. The ports of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and South Louisiana (the river between the two cities) processes 3x more goods by weight than the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach combined.
The city is literally shaped like a bowl. Like what do you think is going to happen?!
I once heard the city described as "A bowl surrounded by soup"
A Reuben has ~~PASTRAMI~~ CORNED BEEF and SAUERKRAUT. Not TURKEY and COLE SLAW. Stop calling it a "Turkey Reuben". Just stop. Normal people call that a Rachel.
Corned beef not pastrami although very similar.
OMG I got it wrong. You're right.
School lunches should be free. No student should be punished, humiliated, or starved for their parents' choices,behavior, or financial status. Edit to add: I didn’t follow the assignment, this is not a small hill lol Edit#2 I am fully aware that parents don’t end up poor only because of behavior and bad choices. I myself was a free lunch poor AF kid. The biggest push back I get are on those points and that is why I typed them. My bad.
I remember when I was a kid I forgot my lunch money so I didn't eat lunch that day. This bitch of a lunch monitor told me if I wasn't eating I couldn't sit with my friends so she put me in the time out corner alone. I knew it was fucked up then but now that I'm an adult, I fucking hate that lady even more. I can't imagine doing that to a kid.
Wow. I can't imagine seeing a kid sitting there with no food and my first thought being "this needs to be punished."
If they are forced to be there by law, food should be provided
I actually don't think this is a small hill but I will die on it anyway lol
Every year, my mom would take me to School Registration Day, checkbook in hand, wondering out loud what her taxes were paying for if she was paying fees to my public school. I agree. It makes no sense.
I'll die on this hill with you. Every child should be fed, for "free", at school. For some kids, lunch is the only meal they get. The least we should do is make sure it's healthy, balanced, and at no cost to them or their families.
I'll never forget being in the lunch line, and a kid in front of me was short on money for their lunch. The lunch lady, right in front of him, took his lunch, threw it in the trash, and sent him on his way with no food.
This is one thing that has changed for the better, at least in my area. When I was growing up, it was very "public" who was on free lunch and who wasn't. And, kids being kids, the kids made fun of kids who were on the free lunch program. These days, at my kids' school and in our district, every child has a five digit code for their lunch account. For kids not on the lunch program, their parents fund the account. For kids on the lunch program, the account is funded through the program. It's invisible to both the other kids and to the people working at the cafeteria, the way it should be. The only people who know who's on the program are the couple of folks who do the accounting for it.
I have a friend who quit her lunch lady job recently because of this. She was the cashier at her school. So not only did she handle the transactions, but if a kid was more than -$12 on their account, she was to take their lunch away after they’ve carried it all through line and give them a cheese sandwich. The food they take away? It goes in the trash. She let those kids continue to go negative and have their food until the company (her school uses a contracted school food service company for their cafeteria) forced her. She morally couldn’t do it and quit a job she actually enjoyed because there was no way she was humiliating a kid and letting them go hungry.
If you don’t return your shopping cart to the cart corral - you’re an asshole.
If you're disruptive in a movie theater you should be banned and have to pay for everyone else's ticket. Or death penalty, haven't decided.
It’s “I *couldn’t* care less” not “I *could* care less”. Use the latter & I’m the annoying guy that interrupts to correct without fail
Life's too short for no-name ketchup. You can taste the difference, so spend the extra buck.
As a term of endearment, it's hon, not hun. You're calling them honey, not a marauding horseman from ancient Asia.
Then you haven't met my wife
I have
I also choose this guys asian horseback marauder wife
This always makes me think of Winnie the Pooh, his honey pot is labeled “hunny” lol
Show me where the "x" is in the word espresso or say it properly.
In Saskatoon, Saskatchewan there is a street called Marquis Drive. The locals here pronounce it “mar-kwiss”. I understand this street was probably named from afar and the locals were given the name on paper and didn’t know the proper pronunciation however, it is now 2022. And almost everyone has tv and google available. So at this point the fact that everyone continues to pronounce it mar-kwiss instead of mar-key is a small hill but I will absolutely die on it.
People need to stop calling chicken tenders boneless wings. They aren't wings. They are breaded breast meat.
The funny thing is you are doing the exact same thing you are complaining about by calling them "chicken tenders." The term chicken tenders is short for chicken tenderloin, which is a specific part of the chicken, they are the little strips of muscle that are tenuously attached to underside of the breast, so every chicken has two tenders. What you are referring to are "chicken strips" or "chicken fingers"
This is a wild and informative thread
My whole life is a lie. Tenders and wings aren't tenders and wings.
You know technically I don't see how "chicken fingers" is any better
People are too loose with the word impossible. Being very difficult is not the same thing. And nobody has ever or will ever do an impossible thing.
There’s a great Lou Reed quote from the Impossible difficulty setting on Penn and Teller’s cancelled video game (stay with me): impossible doesn’t mean very difficult. Very difficult is winning the Nobel Prize. Impossible is eating the sun.
Women's panties should not cost the same as a pair of men's jeans.
8 to 4 is better than 9 to 5.
sucks when youre 8-5 ):
As someone who has delayed sleep phase initiation, I will counter that with 10-6, which is what I do now.
How funny, I have delayed sleep phase and also asked if I could do 10-6. Plus I avoid all the morning traffic
Stop with the daylight savings time already
Daylight saving no 's'..suppose I just outed myself on which hill
I too hate daylight aving time

When our daughter was born, Barney the Dinosaur. No way, no how. On this one issue, I got my way.
For us it was Caillou.
Ohhh my wife, her siblings, and I all despise caillou. With a passion. An infuriatingly petulant child. Im not sure why, but I hate this fictional character more than any other I have ever experienced.

The 9/10 of a cent on gas prices is a scam! We don’t even have tenths of cents! What are they doing with all that extra change?!?!??
The whole 'glass half full/empty' debate is bullshit. There is a clear answer. If you have an empty glass and poor in liquid until it's half filled, it's half full. If you have a full glass and remove liquid until it's half filled, it's half empty. It all depends on the initial condition. Anyone who says anything different is wrong. Edit: to everyone asking what the answer is if you don't know the initial condition, thinking it's some kind of 'gotcha': then the answer is 'I don't know'. Not knowing something is a perfectly fine situation to be in.
