Listen here, buddy!

I'm not British but I just say "cheers mate" to everyone. Works for me.

Grew up in the 80s and 90s. As progressive and openminded as I thought I was then...holy shit there are a lot of words and phrases I won't touch any more because they sound archaic, racist, mysoginistic, or hateful today. Back then they were perfectly acceptable everyday things no one would bat an eye at. It does make me happy that at least in this small arena we seem to have made progress as a society.

(Should add that this is from a US perspective)

I took away my son's bb and pellet guns because I caught him waving his rifle around like a toy.

"But it wasn't loaded!"

"Then you obviously forgot or ignored the very first thing I taught you."

instead of just telling each other what we want to say, it's wrapped in layers of bullshit.

So...just like now but with less personal bullshit. Office AI sanitized bullshit.

I'm ok now but for many years anything coconut would roil my stomach. Thank you Malibu rum.

I read your statement completely contrary to your intent, that's how it's a bad thing!

My oops

Fair enough. I don't know that I've ever had a grocer with consistently bruised/rotted onions. I'll go ahead and put that in the plus column.

answer is NO... you don't get a turn clown. This shit stops

Good. I think too many in gen x just got crushed by being so devoid of agency, politically speaking, that they just gave up. It's been a struggle watching this country I was told to love and support unconditionally continuously spiral downward because the generation that preceeded me milked the system for all it was worth before stealing the same opportunities for social and economic advancement from future generations.

What is a "better" onion? More variety, maybe? Onions come in two kinds for me (other than type) edible and not; not a lot of spectrum on onion quality for me I guess.

Just about any other fruit or vegetable I can accept the varying quality of produce but onions and potatoes are either firm and good or mushy and not for me.

Or I could be overthinking what was probably an arbitrarily pulled example for an explanatory analogy.

In this heat?! Masochist.

edit: or sadist, no judgement.

No radrats

Don't forget about bangs for searching alternate sites: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs !w = wikipedia, !e = ebay, !zillow = guess, !r = reddit, etc

Just put your bang in front of the rest of the search you want to do on that site: !g why doesn't Google use bangs? !ddg Why does Duck Duck Go use bangs?

Yeah, just don't read that lore from here: https://kirby.fandom.com/wiki/Kirby

My head hurts from bad writing.

EDIT: Shit, now I got it, they’re related in 12s, like in dousens… why, WHY!

Haha, if only.

See, we told you it was easy!

Moles are real, not invented by science!

Going down stairs and it's creaking leather. Like an old belt being twisted.

I'll remove the downvote if you cite the facts.

I don't disagree or disbelieve, but you can't make that claim without backing it up without being a part of the problem.

Overlooking how reductionist and incorrect that statement is: why is a political stance based around empathy a bad thing?
